All-on-4 Dental Implants in Alexandria, VA

Four implants, a new arch, in Alexandria.

At 2855 Duke Street, Dr. Esam Nahlah replaces a failing or missing arch with a fixed bridge on four implants. The rear two are angled into denser bone, so bone loss often does not rule you out, and most patients go home with provisional teeth.

Fixed, Not Removable

An arch you never take out.

A denture sits on the gum and shifts when you eat. An All-on-4 arch is screwed onto implants, so it stays put, and the implants keep loading the jaw.

  • Stays in when you eat, talk and sleep
  • No adhesive, and no rubbing on the gums
  • The jawbone keeps a load, which slows its loss
  • Brushed and flossed in place, like teeth
  • Fewer relines and repairs over the years

Questions

All-on-4 in Alexandria: questions.

What does All-on-4 cost in Alexandria?
Your price is set after the scan, once it is clear whether one or both arches need restoring and whether any grafting comes first. Most PPO plans are accepted with claims filed for you, and financing reaches $60,000 over terms of up to 96 months.Cost and financing →
What if I have bone loss?
Bone loss is often why All-on-4 is chosen: tilting the rear implants reaches bone that straight ones would miss. Some mouths still need grafting first, and the scan shows which.
How long until the final teeth?
About three to four months after surgery, and then the gum takes another two to four months to settle around the zirconia arch.
Which number should Alexandria patients call?
(571) 617-7245 if you are new to the practice, and (703) 940-5410 if you are already a patient.
Is All-on-4 done the same way in McLean?
Yes. The same specialist and the same team work at both offices, each with a laboratory in the building.All-on-4 in McLean →
