Dental Implants in McLean, VA
How Does A Dental Implant Work?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone to replace lost tooth roots. Next, an abutment is attached to each implant post, which will connect the implant to the crown, bridge, or denture. Together, the implant, abutment, and restoration replace the tooth from root to crown.
How Safe Are Dental Implants?
With a consistently high long-term success rate, dental implants are a true milestone in restorative dentistry. Like all surgeries, however, there is a certain degree of risk involved in the procedure. Risks of dental implant surgery include:
Implant Failure
When an implant does not properly fuse with the bone tissue, complications can occur. This can cause the implant to eventually become loose. We carefully assess candidacy and take technologically advanced measures to help patients avoid this complication.
Infection
As with any surgical procedure, implant placement involves a risk of infection. Our strict sterilization protocol and attention to detail allow Dr. Han to minimize the risk of infection.
Incorrect Placement
Improper or poorly planned placement can result in implants disturbing nerves or the sinus membranes. We use advanced surgical equipment and digital imaging systems to make certain that your implants are positioned in a way that will provide excellent stability without disrupting these tissues.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Doctor
The single most effective way a patient can reduce the risk of dental implant complications is choosing a dentist with the right training, experience, and reputation.

Dr. Daniel Han is simply the best if you need an implant done. Dr. Han walked me through the entire process and put me at ease. I don't know of any other dentist that will take your original tooth and re-use it for the temporary tooth while the bone around the implant heals. No one could tell I had implant surgery done as it was my real tooth sitting in the spot where the implant went in!

Caring for Your New Smile
Once your final restorations are placed, you will need to maintain them just as you do the rest of your teeth. Brush twice and floss once daily to ensure your smile stays healthy. It remains important to attend biannual checkups with our dentists to ensure your long-term oral health. With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can provide a lifetime of benefits.
Treatment Timeline at a Glance
Note that there are variations on the placement procedure. For example, a mini implant will not require an abutment, and may be able to support a permanent restoration right away. However, when undergoing the traditional procedure, you can expect:

Your Treatment Options
Dental implants provide the foundation for a variety of restorations that can help patients achieve a better quality of life. The titanium implant posts can support a number of different restorations to replace one tooth or several teeth. This treatment is often integral to full-mouth reconstruction. We can treat you with traditional implants or one of our more specialized techniques depending on your dental needs. Dental implant cost can vary significantly depending on the unique needs of the patient. Our McLean practice offers:
Our implant-supported crowns and bridges attach to your abutments to replace one or more consecutive teeth.
Implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place, preventing the issues associated with traditional dentures.
This groundbreaking technique allows Dr. Han to install implants and attach restorations in a single day.
Mini implants are less invasive than traditional implants and don't require any incisions. They are less expensive, and can often support a custom restoration immediately following placement.
The All-on-four denture technique involves placing two of four implants at angles to maximize contact with bone tissue. This allows patients who have experienced bone atrophy to avoid grafting.

Absolutely love everything about them. I had two implants with bone grafts put in on my front teeth. Dr. Han was able to give me temporary crowns while the graft and implants healed. The process from start to finish was easy. I'm in the process of getting two more implants put in my back teeth. Highly recommend.
