What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are posts made of body-safe titanium. These posts serve as tooth roots that are topped with a restoration that looks and functions like your natural teeth, providing a permanent solution to tooth loss. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that becomes a permanent part of your jaw. An implant typically contains a post, abutment, and restoration.

When a dental implant is surgically placed into your jaw, it fuses naturally with bone. This bonding process is an essential step in the treatment. Once the bonding is complete, the dental implant will form a secure and durable foundation for your new restoration.

Our Woodbridge Dental Implant Placement Process

At YKim Dental, we place and restore dental implants in our Woodbridge office, from simple to complicated cases and even full mouth restorations. Our dental implant surgery encompasses your needs and maximizes your comfort with healing time between procedures. Our process of placing dental implants involves the following steps:

Evaluating your health and planning implant placement
Performing any pretreatment procedures if necessary
Placing the dental implant
Bone growth and healing
Placing the abutment
Attaching the artificial tooth or restoration

The whole process can take several months from start to finish, but much of that time accounts for healing and bone growth in your jaw. We'll discuss the various options and their benefits with you so that you can make an informed decision regarding your treatment.

Pretreatments for Dental Implants

Woodbridge dental implant placement To be a successful candidate for dental implants, it's important that your oral health is in good condition. You also need to have adequate jawbone to support a dental implant and have healthy gum tissues free from gum disease. It's because implants rely on gum and bone tissues to provide stability and support for daily use.

If our dentist discovers certain underlying issues, we may recommend the following treatments before you're ready for a dental implant:

Extractions: We always strive to preserve your natural tooth and dental structure whenever possible. Sometimes, it's necessary to remove a decayed or damaged tooth to protect your oral health overall. Our dentist provides gentle extractions when needed. Once you've healed, we can place a dental implant to restore your tooth from root to crown.
Bone Graft: It's essential to have enough healthy jawbone to support an implant. If there isn't adequate healthy bone, the dental implant won't successfully bond with your jaw. If your jawbone is weak or thin, we offer a bone graft procedure to help increase your jawbone's volume and density. Our dentist may transplant a small amount of bone to your lower or upper jaw to strengthen the areas with bone deterioration. Our dentist will discuss this procedure in-depth with you to ensure you feel confident about the treatment.
Sinus Lift: A sinus lift is the lifting up or augmentation of your maxillary sinus to create more room for new bone. By lifting the sinus and grafting bone in the space between, there's more bone to successfully place a dental implant.

Quality Implant-Supported Restorations

At YKim Dental, we conduct a thorough exam to determine your dental needs. Our dentist will discuss your concerns and goals during your initial appointment and take a series of scans to see detailed images of your teeth and gums. Our dentists will then recommend the best course of action for tooth replacement.

Once we've successfully placed your implant and your jaw has fully healed, we complete your smile with the following restoration options:

A Crown to Replace a Single Missing Tooth: We can use a dental crown to replace a missing tooth by attaching it to your implant. Typically, the crown is held in place by an abutment. We usually craft implant crowns at a trusted dental lab to suit your smile.

A Bridge to Restore Multiple Missing Teeth: Bridges allow you to replace multiple missing teeth with a single custom piece. If you are missing several teeth in a row, we can use dental implants to serve as anchors to support a dental bridge of replacement teeth. While the implants hold the bridge in place, the bridge fills the gap in your smile and keeps your teeth from shifting.

Full & Partial Dentures for Complete Renewal: If you've lost most or all of your teeth, we can create a custom denture to restore your smile completely. Full dentures replace an entire arch, while partial dentures can accommodate any smile while preserving your remaining natural teeth. Our implant denture options are implant-supported, implant-retained, and overdentures.

An All-on-4® Restoration: An All-on-4 restoration involves installing four dental implants into the jawbone. These implants are then attached securely to achieve a full dental restoration. All-on-4 implants are extremely stable and act as a solid anchor for your dental restoration. We also offer full mouth reconstruction to meet your restoration needs.

Dental Cone Beam CT Scans

At YKim Dental, we use a CBCT scan in-office and computer-guided surgery. Dental cone beam computed tomography is a special type of imaging equipment we use to provide accurate and detailed images. Our dentist may use this technology to create 3-D images of your gums, teeth, soft tissues, jawbone, and nerve pathways in a single scan.

Dr. Kim is THE BEST!! I could easily go to another dentist in the Arlington area close to home but I go to him because of his quality work! He’s superb and always goes above and beyond, even on regular routines visits. His office is brand new and makes me feel like I’m in an Apple store. His assistants, Ann and Eleni are so wonderful, they really do take their time with you and make you feel special and treat you like a part of the family. If you haven’t already checked them out, go!! You won’t regret it and will be a lifelong patient!

Dr. Kim has been our family dentist since moving to VA 16 years ago. He is kind, has gentle technique, professional, and has a wonderful staff. Dr. Kim and his staff are awesome with kids. His new Woodbridge office looks amazing, so clean, and COVID safe. Highly recommended!!!

Y-Kim is an excellent dentist. We are a military family and have been going to see him since he was at his Springfield location. He and his staff are very professional and kind that we followed him to his new location in Woodbridge.

It’s such a great location (near IKEA) and very clean with lots of parking.

We like the fact that I can schedule my appointment and all of the kids at the same time. Easy to make appointments and the staff are very professional. Also, they are very patient (as I'm not the best at getting my x-rays done). Definitely would recommend Y-Kim Dentist.

ALWAYS a very pleasant experience at Y Kim Dental Care. The entire staff, from Dr. Kim on down is very friendly and professional. If you do YOUR job and take care of your teeth & gums, they will keep you in great shape.

There is no place I would rather go!!!
I received a tooth extraction with very minimal pain through a quick and easy process. One doctor graciously held my hand & talked to me the whole time to ensure I was comfortable. The other doctor made sure nothing was painful before going in for the removal which I truly appreciated. I felt that the YKim team welcomed me with open arms & prioritized my comfortability. Even the receptionists were so kind! I am going back for another service next week because the doctors did AMAZING work! I don’t usually do reviews however I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to recommend Ykim Dental to everyone!!

Wow! What an experience!
This morning I had stopped by the Dental office of Dr Kim, for my first visit.
And I said, “unlike any other time in my 40 yrs living in the United States, I would say this experience was very special one”.
Right from the get go, after completing my initial paperwork I had met a very pleasant, respectful and kind Dr, Kim who gave me a complete check up and a treatment of deep cleaning I needed so bad.
In short nothing ever in my past comes anywhere close to the kind of experience I had with Dr Kim.
I am also extremely grateful to my cousin Eleni, who made this arrangement happened.
I thank all the friendly associates at the front desk and all other friendly associates in the office.
Thank you.
And bless Dr Kim.

Dr. Kim is an excellent dentist!! I have been a patient of Dr. Kim's for the past 10yrs and I wouldn't change it for the world. He respects and cares for his patients and their teeth. His staff is very professional, polite and accommodating. My wife and I enjoy seeing Dr. Kim and staff at all times!! It's great to have a good dentist but it's even better when you can call the dentist and staff your friend. Thank you Dr. Kim and team for the years of outstanding service!!!
