Dental Implants in Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon is a historic Fairfax County community along the Potomac River, home to George Washington's famous estate, and when it comes to dental implants, the community trusts the team of periodontists at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Alexandria. Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as permanent foundations for replacement teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-term solution for tooth loss.
The short 12-minute drive from Mount Vernon to our Alexandria office is well worth it for the level of specialized dental implants care our periodontists deliver. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants preserve jawbone density and do not require altering adjacent healthy teeth. With proper care and regular periodontal maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental Implants FAQ for Mount Vernon Patients
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular periodontal maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post itself is made of titanium or zirconia, which integrates permanently with bone. The crown or prosthesis on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear.
Am I too old for dental implants?
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. As long as you are in reasonable general health and have adequate jawbone density (or are a candidate for bone grafting), implants can be placed successfully. Many of our patients are in their 70s and 80s.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a well-documented success rate of 95 to 98 percent over ten years. Success rates are highest when implants are placed by a periodontist — a specialist with three additional years of surgical training in bone and soft tissue management.
Do dental implants require special maintenance?
Implants require the same daily care as natural teeth — brushing, flossing, and using an interdental brush or water flosser around the implant. Professional periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months are recommended to monitor the implant, surrounding bone levels, and gum health.
