A
Dental Implant is a procedure that replaces the roots of the teeth with metal pins that look like screws and replaces the missing or damaged tooth with an artificial tooth that looks the same and performs the same function than real teeth. Dental implant surgery may offer a well-accepted alternative to
dentures or
bridges that do not fit well, and may offer an option when a lack of natural tooth roots does not allow the creation of dentures or tooth replacements with bridges.
This procedure is performed through oral surgery by our surgeon
Dr. Kamran Raja Specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. During surgery to place the dental implant, the oral surgeon makes a cut to open the gums and expose the bone. Holes are made in the bone where the metal post of the dental implant will be placed. Because the post will serve as the root of the tooth, it is implanted deep into the bone. You can have a dental implant procedure at our clinic at
Manassas.
