ArchONE Dental Implant FAQs

Dental implants are the best long-term solution for tooth loss, and the best choice if you wish to return to an active, healthy lifestyle. Medical-grade titanium posts are permanently anchored to your jaw, functioning like the root of a tooth. Prosthetic crowns are then placed onto the posts to replace the tooth visible above the gums. The result is permanent teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are virtually immune to infection, damage, and decay, preventing continued gum disease and bone loss. Dental implants are guaranteed for 5 years and are designed to last a lifetime.

If you have missing or damaged teeth, suffer from severe gum disease, or have endured trauma to the mouth, you’re a good candidate for dental implants. Even if you’ve already suffered extensive bone loss, you can benefit from dental implants.

Nobody will suspect a thing. Dental implants will look just like natural teeth. You’ll be able to smile, eat, and live confidently and comfortably.

We offer single tooth implants, multiple implants, and our ArchONE full arch implant system.

If you have several missing or damaged teeth, you may choose to replace them one by one with dental implants. However, this can be a long process that is also quite costly. An alternative approach to restoring a smile is our ArchONE full arch dental implant system, an all-in-one solution for smile restoration that’s made of the highest quality materials and is done by nationally renowned implant surgeons.

One doctor. One office. One price. This is our revolutionary approach to the ArchONE Full Arch Implant System. Your entire journey is guided by one experienced doctor. From your initial consultation to your new smile, our on-site lab, advanced technology, and in-house anesthesiologist make the process seamless, stress-free, and completed in just one day. The ArchONE full arch implant system offers one clear, all-inclusive price with no hidden fees.

Our full arch dental implant system typically use six implants, while All-on-4s® use only four. Using six dental implants provides a more even load distribution and reduces the stress placed on each individual implant. In our experience, our six-implant procedure has consistently led to more long-term stability and success.

At other offices, dental implants can cost you over $25,000 per arch, and even more with additional costs that are not included! Some offices charge extra for things that ArchONE considers standard, like prosthetics, sedation, and after-care, and they have up-charges if you want the highest-quality materials. Shop around, and make sure to compare apples to apples. When you do, you’ll find that ArchONE really does offer the best quality and the best price at the same time. We offer the highest quality full arch implants for the best value in Northern Virginia. Our “One Price” promise means that your up-front quote will include the highest quality work and materials, prosthetics, sedation, after-care, and everything else, including a 5-year guarantee.

The number of doctors you see, the offices you visit, and the skill of your practitioners can all affect your total cost. Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad are very experienced implant dentists. Their skill and excellent relationships with implant and prosthetic companies keep your costs down. The entire procedure is also done in one office with one doctor, so there are minimal overhead expenses to cover.

Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad care deeply about their patients. They know how important dental implants can be to creating a full life, and they always ensure that their dental implant procedures are as affordable as possible for their patients. And, since we promise not to change your initial quote, you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees and expenses.

ArchONE dental Implants are extremely successful (hear from real ArchONE patients). Most studies show that dental implants have 97-98% success rate – much higher than any other procedure in medicine. For example, the success rate of experienced implant surgeons, like Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad, is even higher than average, at 98-99%.

Our full arch dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, and we offer a 5-year guarantee on our procedures. As long as you keep your regularly scheduled hygiene appointments up to date, we fully guarantee our dental implants for 5 years.

As with any major surgery, there are risks involved with ArchONE dental implant procedures. However, these risks are extremely rare. Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad have the experience and knowledge to take care of any complications that do arise. Plus, once the treatment is completed, our 5-year guarantee means that you’ll have nothing to worry about. You’ll be able to discuss all of the specifics of your procedure with Dr. Ruparelia or Dr. Muhammad before you begin.

On the day of your procedure, you’ll leave our office with fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Your permanent implants will be in place, and you’ll have a temporary prosthesis fixed to the implants. Once you’ve fully healed from your surgery, you’ll come back in for your permanent prosthesis.

We’ll do everything possible to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad are certified in sedation dentistry, so you have the option of not feeling anything. Our practice also has an anesthesiologist on staff, which is a unique benefit for you. Most patients choose general anesthesia; however, local anesthesia is also an option. Patients are usually very surprised at how little discomfort they feel following the procedure.

Recovery is generally very quick, though you’ll have some discomfort after your procedure. Most patients are able to eat normally and return to work after 4-5 days.

You will care for your ArchONE dental implants as you would natural teeth. Dr. Ruparelia, Dr. Muhammad, and the rest of the team will advise you on how to best brush, floss, and generally take care of your new teeth.

In a word, yes.

During your procedure, all of the bacteria that cause your periodontal disease will be removed, and your new ArchONE dental implants will prevent it from ever coming back. Bone loss will also be stabilized, since your dental implants will bear the load normally taken on by your natural teeth. This load-bearing allows your jaw to do what it’s designed for, which strengthens and maintains natural bone health.

You will work exclusively with Dr. Ruparelia, Dr. Muhammad, and their team. At many dental centers, patients need to go to one office for their prosthetic consultations, another for the surgery, with a whole array of different assistants and hygienists.

You’ll meet with your doctor during your initial consultation, and they will continue to work with you during every step of your treatment. Your doctor will be the only one handling the treatment. You will be supported by one highly trained team, and all the treatment will take place in one location.

Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad are highly trained implant dentists. They are both skilled in prosthetic and surgical aspects of dental implant procedures. While other dentists may be proficient in one area or the other, few can do both, and even fewer with Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad’s expertise and success rates. In addition to achieving extremely high success rates, Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad have an extensive knowledge base and considerable experience to allow them to continually innovate newer, better, and more efficient ways of performing dental implant procedures. Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Muhammad have trained with the best in the field of modern dentistry. They continue seeking opportunities to expand their knowledge and improve their patients’ experiences.

The first step toward your new smile is to schedule a consultation. The consultation is complimentary, and during it, you will learn what to expect and whether this mode of treatment is right for you. If you have decided to follow through with our ArchONE Procedure, the next step is to undergo a pre-procedure examination.

During the pre-procedure exam, you’ll meet with Dr. Ruparelia or Dr. Muhammad, who will help you determine your implant needs. You and your doctor will discuss what you’d like your new teeth to look and feel like. At this step, your treatment plan for your ArchONE procedure will be finalized.

After your ArchONE procedure, you’ll be able to leave our office with a brand new, natural-looking smile! These full arch dental implants will look, feel, and function like authentic teeth. We recommend that you take a few days following your procedure to take things easy. You’ll be able to return to your normal lifestyle after this brief period of ease.

Most patients will be able to resume eating normally and return to work within a few days after their procedure. Over the next couple of weeks, your gum tissues will heal, enabling you to see how you feel with your new teeth. A few weeks after your surgery, your implant dentist will personally make sure everything is healing just as it should. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled a few weeks after your surgery to check on the status of your recovery.

Once you’ve given your mouth the proper time to heal and your dental implants have stabilized, it’s time to receive your new, permanent teeth! The appearance and functionality of these implants will resemble that of natural teeth.

You will take care of your new teeth just as you would with your natural teeth! No specialty care instructions are necessary!

It can be easy to feel discomforted with your smile if a part of your smile is missing. Dr. Ruparelia, Dr. Muhammad, and our team can help you feel confident in your smile once again. With our full arch dental implants streamlined system, you’ll be able to leave our practice with a brighter, healthier-looking smile!
