Long-Lasting, Life-Changing Dental Implants
If you have one or more missing teeth, you may be struggling to bite and chew. But gaps in your diet may be overshadowed by the gaps in your smile leaving you feeling embarrassed to laugh or socialize. If you’re missing most or all your teeth, you may notice that your facial shape is changing as your jawbone continues to shrink. Dental implants are the only truly long-term solution—and most natural-looking solution—for replacing your missing teeth. Considered the “gold standard” in tooth replacement, dental implants restore your oral health, smile aesthetics, and dental function and do so for decades!
Our founding dentist at Momentum Dental, Dr. Tamesha Morris, is experienced in providing dental implant treatment, leveraging advanced technology and high-quality materials to ensure the long-term success of your dental implants in Woodbridge and Bristow, VA. Having placed and restored thousands of dental implants right in our office, we can help you experience a life of health, function, and confidence with dental implants and permanent new teeth!
Your Custom Dental Implant Options
Dental implants are one of the most versatile tooth replacements available, able to replace any number of missing teeth. They’re made up of three components—post, abutment, and restoration—that mimic the function of natural teeth. Secured in your jawbone, dental implants can support crowns and bridges, and even dentures and full arch restorations. Dental implants used to increase the stability of a modified denture, which snaps securely to the implants placed in the jawbone, are called implant supported dentures. For patients with many or all missing teeth, dental implants can permanently support a full, fixed zirconia bridge of artificial teeth. Full arch dental implants make it possible to eat any type of food with life-like, strong teeth. In all cases, dental implants improve your ability to eat comfortably, feel confident in a complete smile, and live an overall healthier and better quality of life.

Dental Implant Treatment Process
Your dental implant treatment at Momentum Dental is personalized to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with our implant dentist in Woodbridge and Bristow, VA, where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take x-rays and a CBCT scan, and create a custom treatment plan. Using our iTero® intraoral scanner, we’ll also create a smile simulation, so you can see the results of treatment before we begin! If you need tooth extractions or bone grafting, we’ll be able to determine if these need to be completed before your implant surgery or if they can be performed in the same surgical visit. With advanced technology and relaxing sedation dentistry, you’ll then receive comfortable surgery in a following visit that takes just a few hours.
During surgery, each dental implant post will be placed in strategic locations in your jawbone avoiding nerves and optimizing longevity and aesthetics. We guarantee this by using a custom-made surgical guide that fits over your gums and directs us in placing your dental implants in pre-planned positions. In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment. As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile aesthetics until you receive your permanent, custom-made dental implant restoration. This restoration is designed through a collaboration between our implant dentist and our partnering dental lab to ensure the most personalized, functional, and natural results for your new smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients who come to Momentum Dental are candidates for dental implants.
The Lasting Benefits of Dental Implants
- Dental function for proper biting and chewing
- Aesthetic restorations for a natural look and feel
- Complete smile makeover to dramatically boost confidence
- Improvements to oral health and physical health

Making Dental Implants Affordable
Along with lasting, life-changing advantages, dental implants also come with a higher initial cost than traditional alternatives. But as the closest thing to natural teeth, the higher cost of dental implants is immediately matched by the dramatic improvements to your self-esteem, oral health, and systemic health. This boost in the quality of your life cannot be understated. We recognize these transformative effects which is why we do everything we can to make your dental implant treatment at Momentum Dental affordable.
