Every member of our team at Perio & Implant at Washington Metro goes out of their way to help you feel comfortable while you are in our Washington, DC office. After over a decade in practice, Dr. Li has earned the experience to treat even the most challenging cases, and her background in biology helps to ensure favorable, healthy outcomes for all of her patients. Our Washington, DC office boasts a cozy, private waiting room, televisions in each treatment room, and most importantly, the most state-of-the-art dental technology, including a LightWalker® laser for endodontic surgery, and the latest scanners: cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and iTero® intraoral.
Dr. Jean Li began her education at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she got her DDS degree. From there, she moved to Rutgers University in New Jersey, where she completed her periodontics training. Not only has she been board-certified in periodontics since 2010, but she is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. This guarantees that she is always knowledgeable about advancements in dental treatment.
We can replace a single missing tooth with the closest thing to natural teeth – a single dental implant. The dental implant post functions as the tooth root, stimulating healthy bone growth and offering reliable function. Each implant is restored with a custom dental crown, offering a seamless smile and natural-looking esthetics. No one will know the difference!
If you have many missing or failing teeth, we can replace one or both arches of your teeth using only four posts! These permanent teeth replacements are unmatched when it comes to restoring your ability to bite and chew, not to mention the appearance of your smile.
Traditional dental bridges require you to weaken adjacent teeth to act as the foundation of your new bridge. Instead, we leave healthy teeth untouched and use one or more dental implants to support a new bridge of teeth. This is ideal for those with two or more missing teeth in a row.
When you get dental implants at Perio & Implant at Washington Metro, the first step will be your consultation with Dr. Li. She’ll take detailed scans of your mouth and jaw and examine your mouth to determine your candidacy. You’ll then come in for surgery: while you are sedated, Dr. Li will use a custom surgical guide to insert titanium posts directly into your jaw. You’ll walk away with a temporary set of teeth, and then once the swelling has gone down, you can come back for your final restorations.
A dental implant is made up of three parts – a titanium or ceramic post, an abutment, and a restoration. Built to function like natural tooth roots, dental implants provide bone support and a stable foundation for a single dental crown, a bridge, a denture or a full arch prosthesis.
Many patients are candidates for dental implants already or can qualify after receiving preparatory treatments like bone grafting and tooth extractions. Candidacy is more accurately determined after a comprehensive consultation and evaluation with an implant dentist.
The cost of dental implants is based on many factors, including how many teeth are missing and for how long, the types of materials used, and what additional procedures are needed. Our team can help you apply for dental financing and will file insurance claims on your behalf to help you afford treatment.
Dental implant treatment can range from a few months to over a year. In many cases, implants can be surgically placed soon after the consultation and treatment plan are complete. For patients needing bone grafting, this may be a separate procedure requiring several months of healing before dental implant surgery. After dental implants are placed, healing can take three or more months before optimal integration is achieved and a final restoration can be permanently attached. In many cases, patients can wear a temporary restoration during healing.
Dental implants are designed to last for decades and have the potential to last for the rest of your life. Surgical technology and clinical experience, along with your health habits, ultimately affect the longevity of your implants. Choosing an experienced implant team like ours at Perio & Implant at Washington Metro provides more precise and accurate surgery that better guarantees the long-term success of your treatment.
