Missing Tooth Implants in Alexandria, VA

McLean & Greater Arlington Tooth Replacement

Single tooth replacements are a popular choice for many people missing one or more teeth. When you lose a tooth, the empty space can cause your other teeth to shift out of place, which can lead to a misaligned bite and further tooth loss. A single tooth implant is a permanent solution that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. At Dental Masters, we provide single tooth replacement options for patients in the Alexandria and McLean areas.

Why Are Single Tooth Replacements Popular?

There are many reasons why single tooth replacements are popular. First, they are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Unlike dentures or bridges, which can slip or shift, an implant is anchored in your jawbone and will not move. This gives you the confidence to eat and speak without worry. Second, single tooth implants look and function just like your natural teeth. They are designed to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, so no one will be able to tell that you have an implant. And because they are placed in your jawbone, they will feel just like your natural teeth.

How Long Does a Single Tooth Implant Take?

The length of time it takes to get a single tooth implant can vary depending on your individual case. In some instances, the implant post and artificial tooth can be placed in a single appointment. However, it’s more common for the procedure to take place over the course of several months. This is due to the fact that proper fitting and adjustments are made at each appointment. The implant also needs to fuse with your jawbone before the artificial tooth can be attached. The entire process usually takes between four to six months.


The first step is to have a consultation with your dentist. They will assess your mouth and overall health to make sure you’re a good candidate for the procedure. If you are, they will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. Once your plan is finalized, you will come back for the implant surgery. During this outpatient procedure, your dentist will make a small incision in your gums and place the metal implant post into your jawbone. They will then close up the incision with stitches and allow the area to heal.

Will Insurance Cover Single Tooth Replacements?

It depends on your insurance policy, but some dental insurances will cover a portion of the cost of single tooth replacements. We recommend that you check with your insurance provider to see if they offer coverage for this type of procedure. If they don’t, we can help you find a financing option that can help spread the cost of the procedure over time and make the cost more affordable.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."
