Dental implants are widely regarded as the most effective way to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants replace both the root and crown of the tooth, creating a solution that looks, feels, and functions like your own natural teeth.
As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Withers has placed thousands of implants for patients in Fairfax and across Northern Virginia. He uses advanced diagnostics such as cone-beam CT imaging to ensure precision, safety, and predictable outcomes, even in complex cases.
A dental implant can provide better long-term results for replacing missing teeth. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, so they are very secure. Implants are designed to mirror the tooth structure and stimulate the jawbone, which helps to prevent bone loss. Since they are made of titanium, they are also resistant to tooth decay.
“I needed an implant to support a crown for a tooth I lost. Dr. Withers was recommended by another dentist to do the implant. Dr. Withers was knowledgeable, explained the process, and provided the cost upfront. When I went in to have the work done, the office staff was superb. I never had any delay in the waiting room - in fact I usually arrived a few minutes early and was taken back before my actual appointment time. Dr. Withers was quick too - it seemed that I was in and out in no time. All of the staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome.” — Joe, 5-Star Review
“Absolutely phenomenal practice. I am scared of dentists and was referred to him for a failing implant. Not only were they able to save my implant with a new laser treatment, but they explained the whole process to me and a way I understood.” — Faiad, 5-Star Review

Dental implants are one of the most reliable ways to restore missing teeth, but not every patient is immediately ready for treatment. During your complimentary exam and 3D scan, Dr. Withers will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and overall medical history to determine if implants are right for you.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have one or more missing teeth
Want a stable alternative to removable dentures or bridges
Have healthy gums free of active periodontal disease
Have adequate jawbone density, or are willing to undergo bone grafting if needed
Are in good overall health with no conditions that interfere with healing
Even if you have been told you are not a candidate elsewhere, Dr. Withers has advanced training and technology to treat complex cases, including patients who require bone grafting, sinus lifts, or other preparatory procedures.
We want every patient who visits our Fairfax office to feel informed and confident when beginning implant treatment. While dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, insurance coverage can vary greatly depending on your provider and plan. Some portions of treatment, such as preparatory procedures or restorations, may be eligible for partial reimbursement.
To make the process easier, we also offer a complimentary exam and 3D scan, a $300 value.

Dental implants are a versatile treatment that can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch. At our Fairfax practice, Dr. Withers provides a full range of implant-supported restorations so patients can find the right solution for their unique needs.
Dental Crown
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, a single implant paired with a dental crown restores the root and tooth for a natural-looking, permanent solution.
Dental Bridge
If you are missing several teeth in a row, implants can support a bridge that fills the gap without relying on or damaging adjacent teeth.
Dentures
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a secure, stable alternative to traditional removable dentures. By anchoring the denture to multiple implants, this solution prevents slipping, improves chewing function, and helps preserve jawbone health over time.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
For patients with extensive tooth loss or severely compromised teeth, All-on-4 provides a fixed full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants. This option restores function and stability for those who may not be candidates for traditional full-arch methods.
In select cases, implants can be placed and restored with a temporary prosthesis on the same day, allowing you to leave the office with a functional smile while your implants heal. This approach provides immediate improvement in appearance and confidence without waiting months for results. No matter the extent of tooth loss, implant dentistry offers stable, long-lasting results that improve both oral health and quality of life.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their ability to provide a permanent solution for tooth loss. They're designed to last for decades and in many cases, a lifetime.
The titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots by integrating with the jawbone and becoming a stable foundation for restorations. With proper oral hygiene and regular professional care, most patients never need to replace the implants themselves. However, the crowns, bridges, or dentures attached to them will eventually require replacement due to normal wear and tear.
As a board-certified periodontist with over 30 years of experience, Dr. Withers uses advanced planning and precise surgical techniques to maximize implant longevity in Fairfax. By addressing factors like gum health, bone density, and bite alignment, he ensures that your investment in implants is built to last.
