Dental Implants with IV Sedation & General Anesthesia in Northern Virginia

Missing teeth can make eating, speaking, and smiling harder than they should be. Loose dentures, gaps, or failing teeth can affect comfort, confidence, and daily life.

At NOVA Dental Anesthesia in Burke, using IV sedation or general anesthesia to make treatment calm, controlled, and comfortable. If fear, past dental experiences, medical conditions, or special needs have held you back, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to push through discomfort to get care.

We proudly serve patients across Northern Virginia, including Burke, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Vienna, Woodbridge, Chantilly, Ashburn, and Loudoun County.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed, they support crowns, bridges, or full sets of teeth (All-On-4) that stay securely in place.

Implants:

• Do not slip or shift
• Feel more like natural teeth
• Allow normal chewing and speaking
• Help preserve jawbone and facial structure

They can replace a single tooth or support larger restorations, including implant bridges and full-arch solutions such as All-on-4.

Dental Implants vs. Removable Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and often loosen over time. They may cause sore spots, limit food choices, and require adhesives.

Dental implants are anchored in bone, not soft tissue. This provides:

• Better stability
• Stronger bite force
• Improved comfort
• Less bone loss over time

Many patients choose implants because they want teeth that stay in place and feel secure.

Who May Be a Candidate?

Dental implants may be an option if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Have teeth that cannot be saved
• Struggle with removable dentures
• Want a fixed, long-term solution

Patients with anxiety, gag reflexes, special needs, or medical conditions often choose care here because of our sedation and anesthesia expertise. Each patient is evaluated individually, and medical history is carefully reviewed.

Implant Options We Offer

We tailor implant care to your needs and goals:

• Single dental implants to replace one missing tooth
• Implant-supported bridges to replace several teeth
• Full-arch implants (All-on-X) to replace an entire upper or lower arch with fixed teeth

Advanced 3D imaging allows us to plan implant placement precisely and safely.

Sedation & Anesthesia for Implant Care

Dental implant surgery can feel intimidating — especially for anxious or medically complex patients. That’s why sedation is central to our care.

We offer:

• IV sedation for deep relaxation with little memory of the procedure
• General anesthesia for complete unconsciousness during surgery

All anesthesia care is overseen by Dr. Wissam Ali, a certified dentist anesthesiologist with advanced hospital-based training. Your breathing, heart rate, and comfort are continuously monitored.
