Leesburg Dental Implants

Unlike removable dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth for support. They offer superior stability, preserve your jawbone, and eliminate common issues like slipping or discomfort associated with traditional dentures. While the upfront cost may be higher, implants provide unmatched longevity and value.

Implants fuse with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration. Over several weeks or months, the implant post becomes securely anchored in the bone, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root. This stability allows the implant to support crowns, bridges, or even full-arch dentures with exceptional durability.

Yes! Dental implant restorations are custom-designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. Once the final restoration is placed, your implants will blend seamlessly with your smile. Additionally, because they’re anchored into your jawbone, they feel and function like real teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone begins to shrink, or resorb, due to lack of stimulation. Over time, this can lead to changes in your facial structure, neighboring teeth shifting, and difficulty with chewing. Implants prevent bone loss by mimicking the root of a natural tooth, keeping your jawbone healthy and strong.

Dental implants have an overall success rate above 90% when placed by a skilled professional like Dr. Chung, and most implants stay functional for at least 20 years. One study reports a dental implant failure rate of 3.11% over six years. This rate aligns with other international findings, which often cite failure rates between 2-3%. In general, success depends on factors like your oral hygiene, overall health, and whether you follow post-operative care instructions. Our team provides detailed guidance to ensure your implants last.

Complications with implants are rare but can include infection, implant failure due to improper healing, or nerve damage in some cases. We use prosthetically driven implant placement, designing the crown first and placing implants according to the crown’s position and shape.
Our approach prevents complications and increases the chances of success by ensuring implants are placed in the correct location.

A bone graft may be needed in cases where your jawbone has deteriorated or is too thin to support a dental implant. A bone graft helps strengthen your jawbone and provides a solid foundation for the implant. When bone grafting is necessary, we offer Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance healing and reduce postoperative pain.

The implant process can vary depending on your individual needs and circumstances. In most cases, we can plan, create, and place your implants from start to finish in just one day! You’ll leave our office with a fully functioning smile.
