Treatment with Dental Implants in Woodbridge, VA
If you’re missing teeth, dental implants can give you a strong, secure, and natural-looking smile that lasts. Implants can help you eat your favorite foods again, speak clearly, and feel confident when you smile or laugh. At our Woodbridge dental office, Dr. Cavallo offers complete treatment all in one place.
Dr. Cavallo will take care of your entire dental implant process. He will place the implant and attaching the final crown, bridge, or denture. This means you won’t need to visit multiple specialists. Everything is done right here in our comfortable office and designed with your care and peace of mind in mind.
Our friendly dental team is here to support you throughout the entire process. We take time to explain every step of your treatment so you’ll always know what to expect and feel confident in your care. The general process is as follows:
- Implant Placement: Dr. Cavallo will place the dental implant in your jawbone during a simple procedure. This is done in the office with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. After placement, your implant post needs time to heal and bond with the bone. This healing process is called osseointegration and takes about three to six months.
- Abutment Placement: Once your implant post fully heals, Dr. Cavallo will place the abutment. This piece connects the implant post to your restoration. You need more time for your gums to heal around the abutment.
- Restoring Your Smile: Once you’re fully healed, Dr. Cavallo will attach your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. In some cases, he may be able to place a temporary tooth during your first visit, so you can leave the office with a complete smile. Once healing is complete, you’ll receive your permanent restoration, made to match your natural teeth.

The Parts of a Dental Implant
A dental implant consists of three parts: the post, abutment, and restoration. We surgically implant the titanium post into your jawbone to replace the tooth root. An abutment sits just below the gum line to secure the new tooth to the implant. A restoration or artificial tooth can either be a dental crown, dental bridge, or denture. Dental implants offer both restorative and cosmetic dentistry benefits.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implant treatment offers many benefits if you’re missing one or more teeth:
- 95% or higher success rate
- Improved bone and gum health (compared to alternative restorations)
- Avoids degradation of healthy teeth (as in conventional bridgework)
- Improves the appearance of a smile and the lower face
- Patients can enjoy a healthy diet without restrictions
- No worry of slippage or dentures “falling out”
Patient Review
Are You A Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’re missing one or more teeth and want a long-lasting and natural-looking solution, you might be a good candidate for dental implants. Dr. Cavallo often recommends dental implants because they help restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. They also help keep your jawbone healthy and support your overall dental health for years to come.
During your visit, Dr. Cavallo will take time to learn about your dental and medical history. He will carefully check your teeth, gums, and jawbone to make sure implants are the right choice for you. He will also ask about your smile goals so he can create a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Thanks to modern dental techniques, most patients can get dental implants. If you have issues like gum disease, bone loss, or weak jawbone structure, Dr. Cavallo can recommend treatments to improve your oral health before placing the implants. These treatments may include bone grafting, sinus lifts, or deep cleanings to build a strong, healthy foundation for your implants.
Dr. Cavallo will guide you every step of the way to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and confident about your care.
Why Choose Dr. Cavallo For Dental Implants?
An early adopter of implant dentistry for the replacement of lost teeth, Dr. Cavallo has been placing dental implants since 1986 and offers full dental implant services from planning to the final placement of a lifelike prosthetic tooth. There is no need to coordinate the surgical phase of treatment, and Dr. Cavallo can ensure consistent care in his Woodbridge dental office.
Dental implants look, feel, and work just like real teeth! They replace missing teeth so you can eat and chew normally again. You’ll be able to laugh, smile, and talk with confidence. You won’t have to worry about your teeth slipping or moving.
Because the implant is placed directly into your jawbone, it also helps keep the bone healthy. This can prevent bone loss, which often causes your face to look older and can lead to other dental problems. Dental implants are a great option for both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. They help your smile look its best while also improving your overall dental health.
