If you are tired of wearing your dentures or if your denture is loose and ill-fitting, perhaps Dental Implants are for you. The All-on-4 or Teeth-in-a-Day procedure, explained below, will help you get rid of your dentures and provide you with permanent teeth.
Let us answer some questions you might have about dental implants. Hopefully, it will help you make an informed decision that youll feel good about whether you have just one tooth to replace or all your teeth!
First, lets get some of the common misconceptions about dental implants out of the way. Sometimes, people think that dental implants are painful, involve a complicated procedure, are uncomfortable, require long periods of recovery, or are too expensive.
Dental implants are virtually pain-free and require no downtime. Youll have zero downtime with a dental implant procedure. The discomfort level has been compared to getting a filling. While you may experience some minor swelling in the first few days, it can be easily controlled with over-the-counter pain medicine.
Dental implants are better than bridges or dentures. They last longer. Theyre more comfortable. And they dont damage any of your surrounding teeth, unlike bridges. They also fit into your mouth just like your natural tooth would while dentures have been reported to be uncomfortable and look fake.
Dental implants are cosmetically appealing. They look natural and they are professionally-matched to your current tooth color, so they blend right in with your natural teeth giving you a full, confident smile.
Dental implants are comfortable. Because the appliance mimics your tooths natural root, dental implants are very comfortable and feel just like your natural teeth in your mouth. After the procedure is complete, youll forget you even have them!
Dental implants are surprisingly affordable. Its likely that your dental implants will last a lifetime. You can expect to pay only a few thousand per tooth. Most reputable practices offer affordable payment plans that make them even more affordable. Anddepending on the reason for the implant, some insurances may even cover the procedure!

I always feel like family when I come for my appointments. I needed implants due to periodontal disease and got the best care. Recently a gum graft was necessary to prevent any future bone or gum issues in one quadrant. I was handled with care and compassion and am healing well

My regularly scheduled appt was in 6/22 at noon! Again as aways, not only was I greeted with a smile & friendly hello by the front desk, but I didn't even wait a few minutes before my hygienist met me to move me back into the dental chair! Inquiring if I had any issues, the dental hygienist listened attentively to my problem and related the information to Dr K. who immediately entered the to confirm my issues. Dr K examined me & relieved my concerns mentioning that my tissue was still healing but looked remarkably well! I was glad to get the good news and Dr K made me feel welcomed to come in anytime saying "patients are always welcomed in the office". I can't say enough good things about all of my experiences about Dr K and this periodontist office! My regularly scheduled appt was 2 PM on Wednesday. The front lobby/office is wonderfully maintained! As aways, not only was I greeted with a smile & friendly hello by the front desk, but I didn't even wait more than a few minutes before my hygienist met me to move me back into the dental chair! My hygienist was extremely friendly and very gentle! No pain but thorough cleaning & exam! The hygienist did find an area of concern which she made a note of & continued with the teeth cleaning! Within about 30 minutes, Dr K checked in! Dr K examined me in detail and discussed the area of concern & suggested a follow-up appointment to do a procedure to address the problem area! In the lobby, at the front desk, I was able to conveniently schedule the next follow-up appointment to address my problem area!! However once home, I did have to follow-up by telephone to schedule my next regular hygienist teeth clearing exam for 3 months! The entire experience was pain free, timely, friendly, and professionally completed. Dr K and staff exceeded my expectations! Job well done! Washington Periodontics is a friendly and welcoming place. I was scheduled to have the first appointment for a mouth guard. The dental hygienist saw me right on time and the procedure was done within a couple of minutes using a laser device hooked up to a laptop! The experience was quick and I was out of the office in just about 29 minutes! My regularly scheduled appt was 8 AM on Thursday! Not only was I greeted with a smile & friendly hello by the front desk, but I didn't even wait more than a few minutes before my hygienist met me to move me back into the dental chair! My hygienist was extremely friendly and very gentle! Within about 30 minutes, Dr K checked in! Dr K examined me in detail and discussed daily dental cleanings, after which we conveniently scheduled another regular teeth clearing for 3 months! The entire experience was pain free, timely, friendly, and professionally completed. Dr K and staff not only exceeded my expectations but probably her own! Job well done! It exceeded my expectations... first I accidentally arrived the day before my scheduled spot and the Dr was enough to see me anyway! Secondly the appointment to clean my teeth went smoothly as Thr Dr has soft & gentle touch! Finally the checkout was smooth and I was able to schedule my next appointment easily! The office looks great .... clean & Brite! My scheduled appointment was

A very nice ambiance and warm welcome. However, Me and Dr. K ended the treatment plan discussion when I learned their practice was FFS( Fee for Service) at the consultation. Why one star? Here is why... The very "friendly" dental assistant/ receptionist recommended extraction and implant, while all I needed was a gum graft. Practice managers should stress the importance of knowing and understanding one's roles and limitations. She isn't qualified to give ANY medical advice that the Doctors didn't confirm.

I had another outstanding appointment with Dr. Karapetian. I highly recommend her and her practice if you need an honest opinion or professional help. My surgical procedure was done on time, very professionally, and with concern that I suffer minimun discomfort. My overall care was outstanding. I have been going to this dental practice for many years.. Dr Karapetian is very professional, gentle and pleasant and I recommend her highly. Karen, her dental hygienest, is excellent. All members ot this practice take extra care to insure a patient's safety duing these uncertain times.

My most recent visit to Washington Periodontics was yet another 5 -star-worthy affair. Each staff person was extremely professional and did their best to make me feel comfortable. I observed the same professionalism and cordiality being given to other patients present. COVID-19 safety protocols are still in place. The office is definitely a very sanitary environment and is a testimony to Dr. Karapetian's high standards of care for her patients.

I had a deep cleaning with Karen today and a check-up with Dr. K. The cleaning was almost completely painless; no novocaine injection needed. Excellent job, and my gums feel completely normal afterwards. no pain or discomfort at all.
