Dental Implants in Hampton, VA

Restore Your Smile with Permanent Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect your confidence, oral health, and ability to chew properly. At Hampton Oral & Facial Surgery, we specialize in dental implants in Hampton, VA, offering long-term solutions for patients with missing or damaged teeth. Our team, led by Dr. Brad Trotter, provides expert implant placement using advanced techniques to ensure durability, comfort, and a natural appearance.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. These implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implants integrate with the jawbone, preventing bone loss and offering a more natural look and feel.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Patients choose dental implants because they offer:

Long-Term Durability – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Improved Oral Function – Eat, speak, and chew confidently without slipping or discomfort.
Natural Appearance – Implants look and feel like real teeth.
Bone Preservation – Helps maintain jawbone structure and prevent deterioration.
Enhanced Comfort – No need for adhesives or removable appliances.

The Dental Implant Process

At Hampton Oral & Facial Surgery, we follow a precise, patient-focused approach to implant placement:

Consultation & 3D Imaging – We use advanced 3D CT Scanning to assess your jawbone structure and determine implant eligibility.
Bone Grafting (if needed) – Some patients may require bone grafting to strengthen the jawbone before implant placement.
Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone under IV sedation or general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
Healing & Osseointegration – Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone, ensuring stability.
Abutment & Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a natural finish.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most patients with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should:

Have sufficient jawbone density or be willing to undergo bone grafting
Be in good overall health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions
Be non-smokers or willing to quit to promote proper healing
Maintain good oral hygiene for long-term implant success

If you have multiple missing teeth, All-on-X implants may be an alternative for full-mouth restoration.

FAQs – Dental Implants

How long do dental implants last?: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or prosthetic attached to the implant may need replacement every 10-15 years due to normal wear.

Is getting dental implants painful?: The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. Some soreness is expected after surgery, but it can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

How long does the dental implant process take?: The entire process, including healing and osseointegration (fusion with the jawbone), typically takes 3 to 6 months before the final crown or prosthetic is placed.

Can I get dental implants if I have bone loss?: Yes! If you have insufficient jawbone, bone grafting may be recommended to create a stable foundation for implants.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?: Coverage varies by provider. While some insurance plans may cover part of the procedure, financing options are available at Hampton Oral & Facial Surgery to make treatment more affordable.
