Permanent Tooth Replacement with Natural-Looking Results
At Aglow Dental Studio, we offer advanced dental implant solutions for patients in Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and neighboring Northern Virginia communities. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking way to restore your smile and regain full oral function.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once healed, these posts support lifelike restorations—such as crowns, bridges, or dentures—that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Because they fuse directly with your bone through a process called osseointegration, dental implants offer unmatched stability and longevity compared to traditional tooth replacement options.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults are eligible for dental implants. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have sufficient jawbone density (or are willing to undergo bone grafting)
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during treatment
- Are free of gum disease or have received periodontal care
- Are looking for a long-term tooth replacement solution
Even if you’ve been told you’re not eligible elsewhere, a consultation with Dr. Rosemary Ahanor may reveal that All-on-4 or other advanced solutions could still be right for you.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions We Offer
Aglow Dental Studio provides a full range of implant services to meet every need:
- Single Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth with a single implant and crown.
- Implant Bridges: Ideal for replacing several teeth without relying on surrounding natural teeth.
- Implant Dentures: Removable or fixed options supported by multiple implants for added stability.
- Full Arch Implants (All-on-4): Restore an entire upper or lower arch using four strategically placed implants.
- Dental Implant Restoration: For patients with damaged or failing implant crowns.
Our Implant Process
Your dental implant journey at Aglow Dental Studio is personalized, precise, and supported by advanced technology:
- Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with an in-depth exam, 3D imaging using CBCT scans, and digital impressions to assess your needs. - Implant Placement
Dr. Ahanor uses guided techniques and her AAID-accredited training to ensure safe, accurate implant placement. - Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation. - Restoration
Once healed, your implant is topped with a custom crown, bridge, or denture crafted to match your smile perfectly.
We also provide temporary restorations to help you maintain appearance and function during the healing process.
