1. Existing bone loss due to periodontal disease or abscess: If bone has already been lost from inflammation or infection, it is best to immediately graft the site following tooth extraction. It is much easier and cheaper to correct the defect at the time of tooth extraction than reconstructing it later which requires more invasive and expensive procedures.

2. Following extraction of teeth in the upper front area (smile zone): The bone is extremely thin in this area and following tooth loss, the bone almost always shrinks and diminishes in dimension. This results is inadequate bone and gum tissue and poor aesthetic results, no matter what the replacement option. Immediate bone grafting will prevent bone and gum tissue shrinkage and the unsightly defects that results. Bone graft will preserve the bone dimension and gum line creating a natural and cosmetic result following implant replacement.

3. Delayed implant placement: If a tooth has been extracted and there is normal healthy bone, but the patient does not desire implant placement right away for whatever reason, then the site should be grafted. This is done to preserve the bone and prevent it from shrinking. An implant can be easily placed later with predictable results. If not grafted, a defect can result, making it much more difficult and more costly to correct later.

I have used Tysons Dental as my provider since 2008. Dr. Alex and his staff have provided excellent service. I had extensive oral surgery; Implants, crowns, etc,; a year ago and it was quite successful. However, I would like to describe a recent event which demonstrates his commitment to his patients.
While brushing my teeth one day I discovered a hard foreign substance in my mouth. Upon examination I found it was a small piece from a broken screw. My first thought was that part of my recent oral surgery had broken loose so I went to Tysons Dental with the piece. I was seen almost immediately. Turns out the screw was part of an implant that was installed by another dentist approximately 15 years ago and the screw had broken off leaving part in the implant. Dr. Alex outlined the possibilities which ranged from quite expensive, replace the entire implant with an up to date appliance, to moderate. The moderate option depended upon whether Dr. Alex could “tease” the part of the screw within the implant out and install a new screw. Using a dental probe he was able to remove the remainder of the screw and install a new one. I appreciate the fact that he could identify and accomplish the least expensive and least inconvenient alternative.

Dr. Alex and his staff have been kind and caring. I had terrible anxiety about seeing a dentist, but they put me at ease from my first visit. I had 2 implants, a bone graft, and a crown done while sedated. I had very little pain afterward and am very pleased with the results. Trenna and Mariela are wonderful, as is Dr. Alex. I can’t recommend Tyson’s Dental enough.

If you dread going to the dentist, than you are going to the wrong place. I love going to the dentist at Tyson’s Dental. The staff is amazing, friendly, and always available to answer my questions. My hygienist, Trenna, not only gets her job done well and with a high level of professionalism but makes me laugh and have a good time during the whole process.

I have been going to Dr. Alex for years and have always had perfect check-ups,,,,,until I needed I had a tooth ache. All in one day, I received an extraction, bone graft, and implant in a matter of hours. It was great getting it over with all in one afternoon. Six months later, I am doing great. No issues and no problems. Dr. Alex is our family dentist.

Going the extra mile

My first visit Tysons Dental Associates was for a simple cleaning by Trenna, who has since become my favorite hygienist. Trenna greeted me with a smile and supported me when my teeth weren’t exactly perfect. They took many x-rays to confirm the visual results. Trenna and my Dentist, Dr. Adele Michael, explained in detail what had to be fixed and why it probably happened in the first place. Who knew that I was grinding my teeth?! I was drawn to Tysons Dental in the first place because of the sedation services they offered. Therefore, I was able to use those services for my dental procedure. I fell asleep and when I woke up, the heavy duty work was already done. I was able to use a porcelain crown in the front to give a more realistic look to the cap as well as using white fillings versus some ugly metal color for the others. Since my original procedure I’ve come in for follow up appointments and Tanny, my Dental assistant, always does her best to ensure I know everything that is going on around me and that I am completely comfortable during my visits. No issue went unaddressed; even any cosmetic issues were immeditaly discussed and my options were presented. The whitening trays I used significantly improved my smile and I know they will continue to help me the more I use them. Of course there was no reason to worry about any expenses not covered by insurance because they offer financial plans so I could pay what I was able to each month. Finally, all the staff in the front office is awesome! They know me by name, check me in immediately without have to fill out any paper work, and are always willing to let me talk their ear off. Marilia, Hina, Kim, Sobia, and Anna really make a difference in my overall experience at Tysons Dental Assosicates.

For many years Tysons Dental Associates has been my choice for all my dental needs. Most recently this has included crowns and periodontal surgery. In one instance this involved a “smash mouth” sports accident where I was left in quite a mess. Dr. Alex was able to fit me with temporary crowns the same evening- (approximately 2 hrs. after the accident), that greatly lowered the state of extreme anxiety that I was in. In each situation and with each of all the different procedures that I have had over the years, from basic cleaning to the more involved connective tissue grafting and porcelain crowns, I have experienced the best care and attention that one could ask for. From one who definitely experiences the “white coat” nervousness, (and they don’t even wear white coats at Tysons Dental), I received the best professional and patient care that one could hope for, and always with great results and no complications. I send my special appreciation to Dr. Alex for all the years and all the good work. I thank Dr. Sperling for the many hours of care and attention, the front desk staff Marilia and Hina for keeping the dollar numbers straight, the wonderful attention from the hygienists Trenna and Natalya, and the very professional care from the medical assistants Deysi, Mariela, and Anna.

I needed a bridge replacement which was long overdue. I consulted with Dr. Osinovsky whom I had not worked with before. Upon his examination he advised I could be a candidate for an implant and I decided to give it some thought. I was pleased at the prospect to replace a tooth but was concerned about the cost. I finally decided to go ahead and have it done upon completion of the necessary bridgework. I was more than pleased at the results and must admit the expense was well worth it. Dr. O is an extremely careful and thorough professional in every sense of the word. He is gentle and precise and I am more than satisfied with all the work I have had done. In addition, my new hygienist, Natalia, was a pleasant surprise, discovered today on my first cleaning with her. She, too, is totally professional and a pleasure with regard to being gentle yet thorough and careful in all respects. All in all, this was a completely positive experience both physically and aesthetically.
