Dental Implants in Reston, VA. Offered by Smiles at Reston Town Center

    RESTON, VA, September 17, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A smile with missing teeth is problematic; not only can it impact one's ability to chew thoroughly and speak clearly, but it can also impact one's self esteem. For patients who are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants are the ideal treatment method to replace the missing teeth and restore the mouth's function. Dr. Riaz Rayek and team at Smiles at Reston Town Center help patients in Reston, VA restore their smiles to full function with high-quality dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a way to replace missing teeth and allow the patient to enjoy a normal lifestyle. A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that acts as a replacement for a missing tooth root.

What is it Like to Get Dental Implants at Smiles at Reston Town Center?

After a thorough examination and Dr. Rayek's determination that dental implants are the best option, the implant is surgically inserted into the jaw where the tooth's root should be. During this surgery, patients can use sedation to feel as comfortable as possible. Following the procedure, some time - typically three or four months - must pass to allow osseointegration to take place. During osseointegration, the implant fuses with the jawbone and become a permanent fixture in the jaw. Once this process has taken place, the implant will be as strong and sturdy as a tooth's root.

The patient then returns to the office so Dr. Rayek can take impressions of the patient's mouth. An abutment is attached to the implant, and then a custom-made porcelain crown is placed atop the abutment. This crown replaces the missing tooth and enables patients to eat normally. Once the crown has been placed, the process is complete and the patient can enjoy a brand new smile.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

By choosing dental implants, patients are able to feel much more confident about themselves. People who are missing teeth often lack confidence and are hesitant to smile, but people who have gotten dental implants are able to smile with confidence.

Dentures can be inconvenient and uncomfortable, but dental implants feel very natural. Dentures will also become loose and ill-fitting over the years, but dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. Dental implants also eliminate the need for denture adhesive and banish any fears of dentures slipping around while the patient is trying to speak or eat.

Dental implants can be treated just like natural teeth. They can be brushed and flossed, and patients are able to eat any foods they'd like.

Dental implants and crowns are typically more attractive and natural-looking than dentures.

Dental implants can also be used to provide greater stability to dentures.

Dr. Rayek and his team are committed to providing patients achieve a higher quality of life and better self-confidence with dental implants. For patients who are ready to ditch dentures and get a complete, beautiful smile, dental implants are often the best choice.
