Dental Implants in Falls Church
Discover the transformative power of dental implants.
Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for missing teeth. Crafted from biocompatible titanium, these artificial tooth roots are surgically implanted into your jawbone, providing a sturdy base for replacement teeth. Dr. Hazim Sadeddin at Westover Dentistry specializes in this procedure, offering patients in Falls Church a chance to regain their natural smile. Not only do dental implants restore your mouth's functionality, but they also help maintain facial structure, preventing the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
Benefits Of Dental Implants
- Natural-looking and feeling: Dental implants mimic your natural teeth in both function and appearance.
- Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Prevents bone loss: Dental implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing it from deteriorating.
- Improves oral health: Unlike bridgework, dental implants don't require reducing other teeth.
- Boosts self-confidence: Dental implants can restore your smile and your confidence.
The dental implant process
This process involves three main steps. First, Dr. Sadeddin will surgically place the implant into your jawbone. This procedure is done under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. After the implant is placed, a healing period of several months is typically required. This allows the implant to fuse with your bone in a process known as osseointegration. Once this process is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown, designed to match your natural teeth, is attached to the abutment, completing your new smile.

How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants made of?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the body. Titanium is known for its strength and ability to bond with bone, making it an ideal material for dental implants. The implant itself acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a strong foundation for a replacement tooth. Some dental implants also come with a ceramic coating to further enhance their compatibility with the human body. At Westover Dentistry, we use the highest quality materials to ensure the longevity and success of your dental implants.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process generally spans several months and involves multiple stages. Initially, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This is followed by a healing period of three to six months, during which the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration. After this period, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth. The final step involves placing a custom-made crown on the abutment, which completes the process. While the timeline may vary depending on individual healing rates and any additional procedures required, the result is a durable and natural-looking restoration.
