DENTAL IMPLANTS IN FAIRFAX, VA

Replacing a missing tooth is essential to your oral health, as well as your overall wellbeing. It will not only restore your confidence to smile, but it will also allow you to eat and speak with ease.


A dental implant is fabricated from titanium, which adheres to our bone very tightly and acts as the root of a tooth. So, when a person is missing a tooth, a dental implant is placed into the missing space. It is then restored with a crown or implant-supported denture.

THE ADVANTAGES OF IMPLANTS

Dental Implant

Dental implants are considered as revolutionary in dentistry. Before dental implants, a bridge or a denture was the only option to fill the spaces left by missing teeth.


Bridges: The advantage of a dental implant over a bridge is that healthy adjacent teeth do not have to be trimmed or cut down. Thus, it preserves and prolongs the health of the adjacent teeth.


Dentures: The advantage of implant dentures over a traditional denture is that it stabilizes and strengthens, thus allowing a normal chewing. A denture by itself often gets loose and moves around, especially upon chewing. In contrast, an implant denture is very stable and functions like natural teeth. A person can bite into an apple, whereas that is not possible with a denture!

DENTAL IMPLANTS AT BRADDOCK FAMILY DENTAL

Dr. Cho places and restores dental implants from the comfort and convenience of our Fairfax dental office. After he places the dental implant into the bone, it usually takes three to four months for the bone to fuse to the implant (osseointegration). Then, an abutment and crown goes onto the implant, completing the “tooth” for the missing space.


With the advancement in materials and 3D CT technology, implants at Braddock Family Dental are placed and completed with much ease and predictability. This gives a very high longevity and success rate.

CARING FOR YOUR IMPLANT

Dental Implant

A dental implant functions and looks like a natural tooth, and needs to be cared for like the remainder of your teeth. Daily brushing and flossing around and in between is recommended. It is also very important to visit Braddock Family Dental for cleanings and exams every six months.

WHY CHOOSE DR. CHO FOR YOUR DENTAL IMPLANT?

  • EXPERIENCE

    Dr. Cho is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, which is a special recognition of experience and skills in implants.

  • PREDICTABILITY

    An implant must be placed at the ideal position for the final crown. If an implant is placed in the “wrong” position by others, it is very difficult to put a crown. This definitely decreases the longevity and success rate! Since we place AND restore implants, the results are more predictable.

  • CONVENIENCE

    Being able to offer the complete treatment, from placing an implant to restoring a crown, a patient can greatly enjoy the simplicity and convenience, and more affordable price!

  • THREE-YEAR WARRANTY

    Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.


    The trust factor is most patients’ biggest fear in getting an implant. At Braddock Family Dental, we place AND restore, thus we take on the responsibility for five years.


    The only thing we ask is that patients come in every six months for regular checkups and cleanings.

The ideal candidate for implants is a non-smoker who has good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw, and healthy gums with no sign of gum disease.

Benefits of Implants


Dental implants offer many benefits that go beyond the traditional options for tooth replacement. Braddock Family Dental believes in educating patients about the benefits of dental implants so they can make an informed decision about their oral care. Here are some of the key benefits of dental implants.

  • NATURAL APPEARANCE

    Dental Implants closely resemble natural teeth both in appearance and function. Implants are made from materials of high quality, such as porcelain and titanium, which blend seamlessly with existing teeth. This gives you a natural-looking smile, restoring your confidence.

  • STABILITY AND FUNCTION ENHANCED

    Dental implants, unlike removable dentures and bridges, are securely embedded in your jawbone. They provide unparalleled stability and support when chewing or speaking. You can enjoy all your favorite foods with implants without any discomfort or worry about slippage.

  • PRESERVING JAWBONE HEALTH

    The jawbone can deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation when a tooth is missing. Dental implants stimulate the bone around them and help to maintain its strength and density.

  • DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY

    Dental implants are a long-term, cost-effective solution to tooth replacement. Implants are more durable and long-lasting than traditional dentures or bridges.

  • BETTER ORAL HEALTH

    Implants do not alter adjacent teeth as traditional options often require. Implants promote better dental health by preserving the integrity and strength of adjacent teeth.

  • COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE

    Implants eliminate the inconvenience and discomfort associated with removable dentures. This includes messy adhesives, sore spots, and uncomfortable fittings. Implants feel and work like natural teeth once they are integrated into the jawbone. This allows you to smile with ease and comfort.

  • STIMULATED FACE STRUCTURE

    Tooth Loss can cause facial sagging, premature aging, and a prematurely aged look. Dental implants help to maintain facial contours by supporting the bone structure. They also prevent the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth.

  • IMPROVED SPEECH

    Missing teeth or dentures that don't fit well can impact the clarity of your voice and pronunciation. Dental implants give you a solid foundation to speak clearly and confidently.

Braddock Family Dental is committed to helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles with advanced implant dentistry. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Cho if you are considering dental implants to replace missing teeth. You will learn how implants can improve your smile and your quality of life.

How to Care for Your Implants


It is important to maintain your dental implants properly to ensure their long-term durability and success. We at Braddock Family Dental are committed to giving you comprehensive advice on how to care for your dental implant to maintain your oral health and protect your investment. Here are some important tips to care for your implant.


  • MAINTAIN GOOD ORAL HYGIENE

     Dental implants need to be cleaned twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Use a non-abrasive toothbrush and soft-bristled toothpaste to gently clean around the implant. Using an antimicrobial mouthwash and flossing around the implants can also help prevent gum diseases and implant-related complications.



  • REGULAR DENTAL CHECKUPS

     Routine dental cleanings and check-ups are important to monitor the health of your implants and detect any potential problems early. Visit our office regularly for comprehensive examinations and professional cleanings. We will assess the stability of your implant, and make personalized recommendations to maintain your oral health.



  • MONITOR CHANGES AND SEEK TREATMENT

    Pay close attention to any discomfort or changes around your implant. These include pain, swelling, or mobility. These symptoms could indicate implant-related issues or underlying problems that need attention. Do not hesitate to call our office if you have any concerns or symptoms. We will provide an assessment and the appropriate treatment.

  • AVOID BAD HABITS

    Certain bad habits can cause your implant to fail. Avoid chewing hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails as they can put excessive pressure on your implant and the surrounding bone. Smoking or using tobacco products can also cause complications and slow down healing.

  • PROTECT AGAINST TEETH GRINDING

     It's important to protect your implants if you grind your teeth or clench them, especially when sleeping. Dr. Cho might recommend wearing a night guard made to fit your mouth, which will cushion the implant from the damaging effects of bruxism. This can prevent damage to the implants and ensure their long-term stability.

  • FOLLOW POST-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

    After undergoing implant surgery, you should carefully follow Dr. Cho’s post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and integration with the surrounding bone. It may be necessary to take prescribed medication, adhere to a mild diet during the first healing period, or avoid strenuous activity that can disrupt the healing process.

We thank the many families that have given us positive reviews!
