Question 3

What is Invisalign and am I a candidate?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets. Most adults and teens with mild to moderate misalignment are candidates. Dr. Abdeen offers free Invisalign consultations — book online or call (703) 991-6136.

Question 4

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant typically lasts 15–25 years. Implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
