What a Review Covers

Where implant plans usually go wrong.

Implant success is published at over 95%. When one does fail, the cause is usually a planning decision or missed maintenance, so that is where a second read looks first.

  • Were the nerves located on a 3D scan before any surgery?
  • Is a printed surgical guide used to set each post's angle and depth?
  • Does bone or gum need treating before an implant can hold?
  • Is there a cleaning schedule to keep peri-implantitis away?

Your medical history and medicines are reviewed at the consultation and built into whatever plan you leave with.

The Warranty

A part that fails within five years is remade free.

No deductible and no sliding scale: a failure in year four is handled exactly like one in year one, and the fitting visit is not charged either.

01

Implants

Implant procedures carried out at the practice are covered for five years; the titanium post itself is meant to stay for life.

02

Veneers and crowns

Cosmetic restorations designed and fitted here fall under the same five-year terms.

03

Full arches

All-on-4 arches are covered as well, with the one condition that applies to everything.

The Condition

Keep your six-monthly Precare cleanings.

Precare is the practice's maintenance programme: a general cleaning twice a year, scheduled with the office that treated you, which for a Burke patient treated on Duke Street means Alexandria.

Implant work rarely ends because of the post. It ends when the tissue around it, gum and bone, breaks down, and a six-monthly cleaning is when that is spotted while it can still be reversed.

  • Cleaning twice a year
  • At the office that placed your implant
  • Nothing else is required to keep the warranty

Questions

Second opinions near Burke: questions.

Anything not answered here, ask the office directly: a question about your own case gets a specific answer.

Is there a fee for a second opinion if my implant plan came from another practice?
No. Reviewing someone else's implant surgery plan costs nothing, whoever drew it up or did the work.
What should I bring from my current dentist?
The plan or quote, and any X-rays or scans already taken. You will also have a cone-beam scan here, so the plan can be checked against your real bone volume.
When does the five-year warranty start?
On the day the work is fitted, and it runs for five years from then.
What if a part fails?
Ring the office that treated you and describe the problem; there is no claim form. The part is made again and refitted at no charge, which the in-house laboratory makes possible.The warranty in full →
Can a second opinion change the price as well as the plan?
Sometimes it changes both. Bring the estimate you were given and ask.
Should Burke patients use the Alexandria or the McLean office?
Either: both are roughly 23 minutes away without traffic, the same team works at each, and Dr. Nahlah treats patients at both.The Tysons Corner office →
