What Do Customers Say About Us?

A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth in Virginia Beach

Dental implants present numerous benefits over other methods of teeth replacement, meaning they’re often the solution our oral surgeons recommend for their patients. Dental implants:

Last longer and have higher success rates than bridges, crowns, and dentures.

Preserve bone in the jaw through stimulation, meaning that patients won’t lose their distinctive facial profile.

Don’t harm existing teeth to replace any missing teeth

Are more cost-efficient than dentures, as you only need to pay for one procedure.

Can be perfectly matched to the patient’s existing teeth for a seamless smile.

Allow the patient to bite and chew like they normally would, which may not be possible with tooth-supported bridges or crowns.

Dental Implant Process

Initial Evaluation

You will first visit our doctors for an initial consultation where they will perform a full evaluation, take needed images, evaluate your candidacy, and determine your treatment plan.

Oral Preparation

If you require any pre-surgeries or tooth extractions prior to the placement of your dental implants, our doctors will include these in your treatment plan and explain to you how the procedures will affect your recovery timeline.

Implant Placement

Once your mouth has been prepared to receive dental implants, our doctors will create small incisions into the gum line and surgically place each implant into the jawbone.

Osseointegration

After your implants have been placed, your mouth will need to heal for 4-6 months. During this time, your jawbone will permanently fuse to the dental implants, making them a permanent fixture in your mouth.

Restoration Placement

Once your dental implants have completely fused to your jawbone, your restorative dentist will place your permanent prosthetic crowns and your restoration will be complete!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone get dental implants?
Down Arrow

The ideal candidate is a healthy adult with good oral hygiene and enough jawbone density to support the titanium post. During your initial consultation, our doctors will perform a full evaluation and take X-rays to check your bone health.

If you have experienced bone loss—which can happen quickly after losing a tooth—you might still be a candidate for bone grafting. This procedure adds volume and strength to your jaw, creating a sturdy base for the implant. However, certain factors like heavy smoking or untreated medical conditions (such as diabetes) may affect the healing process and will be discussed during your visit.

Are dental implants better than dentures or bridges?
Down Arrow

Most oral surgeons recommend implants as the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are the most realistic and durable option. Unlike bridges, which require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, implants stand alone and do not harm existing teeth.

In contrast to dentures (which can slip or require messy adhesives), implants are surgically secured into the bone, allowing you to bite and chew like normal. Most importantly, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial sagging that often occur with traditional dentures.

What factors affect the cost of dental implants?
Down Arrow

The cost of treatment is highly personalized because no two mouths are the same. Key factors that influence your final investment include:
● Number of Implants: Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a full-arch restoration.
Preparatory Procedures: If your jawbone isn't dense enough, you may require bone grafting, which adds complexity and cost.
Type of Restoration: The cost of the final prosthetic (crown or bridge) that attaches to the implant.
Materials and Technology: We use high-quality titanium and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to ensure safety and longevity. While implants may have a higher upfront cost, they are often more cost-efficient in the long run because they are designed to last a lifetime, whereas dentures often require replacement every few years.

Are dental implants a good option for active or beach lifestyles in Virginia Beach?
Down Arrow

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is that they become a permanent part of your body. Whether you are surfing at the oceanfront, enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, or staying active outdoors, you never have to worry about your teeth "slipping" out like you might with a removable denture. They offer the stability and confidence needed for a high-energy lifestyle in Virginia Beach.

Can I get same-day dental implants in Virginia Beach?
Down Arrow

The traditional process typically takes a few months to allow the implant to fully fuse with the bone (osseointegration). However, every case is unique. During your Initial Evaluation, our doctors determine your candidacy and the specific timeline for your treatment plan. While the full integration takes time, in some instances, temporary restorations can be provided so you never have to leave our office with a gap in your smile.
