What a Review Covers

What We Check in Your Implant Plan

Implant success is published at over 95%. When one does fail, the cause is usually a planning decision or missed maintenance, so that is where a second read looks first.

  • Were the nerves located on a 3D scan before any surgery?
  • Is a printed surgical guide used to set each post's angle and depth?
  • Does bone or gum need treating before an implant can hold?
  • Is there a cleaning schedule to keep peri-implantitis away?

Your medical history and medicines are reviewed at the consultation and built into whatever plan you leave with.

The Warranty

What Does the Five-Year Warranty Cover?

Any part that fails inside five years is replaced free of charge, as long as you keep your cleanings every six months.

01

Implants

Implant procedures carried out at the practice are covered for five years; the titanium post itself is meant to stay for life.

02

Veneers and crowns

Cosmetic restorations designed and fitted here fall under the same five-year terms.

03

Full arches

All-on-4 arches are covered as well, with the one condition that applies to everything.

The Condition

What Is Required to Keep the Warranty?

Precare is the practice's maintenance program: a general cleaning twice a year, scheduled with the office that treated you, which for a Burke patient treated on Duke Street means Alexandria.

Implant work rarely ends because of the post. It ends when the tissue around it, gum and bone, breaks down, and a six-monthly cleaning is when that is spotted while it can still be reversed.

  • Cleaning twice a year
  • At the office that placed your implant
  • Nothing else is required to keep the warranty

Questions

Second Opinion Questions

Anything not answered here, ask the office directly: a question about your own case gets a specific answer.

Is there a fee for a second opinion if my implant plan came from another practice?
No. Reviewing someone else's implant surgery plan costs nothing, whoever drew it up or did the work.
What should I bring from my current dentist?
The plan or quote, and any X-rays or scans already taken. You will also have a cone-beam scan here, so the plan can be checked against your real bone volume.
When does the five-year warranty start?
On the day the work is fitted, and it runs for five years from then.
What if a part fails?
Ring the office that treated you and describe the problem; there is no claim form. The part is made again and refitted at no charge, which the in-house laboratory makes possible.The warranty in full →
Can a second opinion change the price as well as the plan?
Sometimes it changes both. Bring the estimate you were given and ask.
Should Burke patients use the Alexandria or the McLean office?
Either: both are roughly 23 minutes away without traffic, the same team works at each, and Dr. Nahlah treats patients at both.The Tysons Corner office →
