What is mobile dentistry?

Mobile dentistry brings dental care directly to patients who cannot easily travel to an office, using portable equipment to provide exams, cleanings, and treatment in the home or a care facility. It is designed for homebound patients, seniors, and others with mobility challenges, ensuring they can maintain oral health without the difficulty of transportation to a dental office.

Who can benefit from house-call dental care?

House-call dental care benefits homebound patients, seniors with limited mobility, individuals with disabilities or complex medical conditions, and anyone for whom traveling to an office is difficult or impossible. It is also valuable for families caring for an aging parent who can no longer manage dental appointments on their own. We bring care to wherever the patient lives.

What treatments can be done at home or in a facility?

Many services can be provided on-site, including exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, denture fittings, relines and adjustments, and care for tooth pain or infection. More complex procedures may still require an office or specialist, but a great deal of routine and comfort-focused care can be delivered in the home or facility setting.

How do I arrange dental care for an elderly parent?

Contact us to discuss your parent's needs, mobility, and living situation. We coordinate scheduling with you and any caregivers or facility staff, and we communicate clearly about what care is recommended. Our goal is to make arranging dental care as simple and stress-free as possible for families managing the needs of an aging loved one.

What dental issues are common in seniors?

Common issues include dry mouth, often caused by medications, which raises decay risk; root decay along exposed root surfaces; gum disease; ill-fitting dentures; and difficulty maintaining oral hygiene due to limited dexterity. Addressing these protects comfort, nutrition, and overall health. Regular care helps catch and manage these problems before they worsen.

Why does oral health matter so much for seniors?

Oral health is closely linked to overall health, especially in older adults. Poor oral health can affect nutrition, contribute to infections, and is associated with conditions like heart disease and pneumonia. Comfortable, functional teeth or dentures also support eating, speaking, and dignity. Maintaining oral health is an important part of healthy aging.

How much does mobile or senior dental care cost?

Costs depend on the services provided and the visit setting. The treatments themselves are priced similarly to in-office care, and there may be an additional fee for the convenience of on-site visits. We provide clear pricing in advance and can discuss insurance, including how Medicare and supplemental plans may or may not apply to dental services.

Do you work with caregivers and facility staff?

Yes. We coordinate closely with family caregivers and care facility staff to schedule visits, understand each patient's needs and medical history, and follow up on recommended care. Clear communication with the people supporting the patient is essential to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate dental care for seniors and homebound individuals.

Can patients with dementia receive dental care?

Yes. We provide gentle, patient care for individuals with dementia or cognitive challenges, adapting our approach to keep them calm and comfortable. We work with caregivers to choose the best time and setting and to communicate in reassuring ways. Maintaining oral health and comfort is important for these patients, and familiar surroundings often help the visit go more smoothly.

Dental Implants

Implant-Supported Teeth

Implant-supported teeth replace multiple missing teeth, or a full arch, using dental implants as a stable foundation rather than relying on the gums or remaining teeth for support.

Implant-Supported Teeth Explained

Implant-supported teeth replace multiple missing teeth, or a full arch, using dental implants as a stable foundation rather than relying on the gums or remaining teeth for support. Instead of one implant per tooth, a small number of strategically placed implants can support a fixed bridge or a full set of teeth, restoring the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. This approach is often referred to as full-arch restoration or by treatment names such as All-on-4. At Nova Dental Care of Vienna, implant-supported teeth offer a life-changing option for patients who have lost many teeth or who are tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures. Because the replacement teeth are anchored to implants fused with the jawbone, they do not slip, click, or require adhesives, and they let you eat the foods you love and speak and smile with confidence. Implant-supported teeth also help preserve the jawbone, which naturally shrinks when teeth are missing. Treatment is customized to your needs, ranging from an implant-supported bridge that replaces several teeth in a row to a complete fixed or removable full-arch solution. The result is a permanent, secure, and natural-looking restoration designed to last.

Throughout treatment, we keep you comfortable and informed, and we make sure your new teeth fit, function, and look exactly the way they should before we consider the job done.

Four simple steps, every time.

From the moment you sit down to the moment you leave, here's what a routine cleaning and exam looks like at our Chantilly office.

Plan

We take 3D scans and evaluate your jawbone to design the precise number and position of implants needed to support your new teeth, and preview your final result.

Place

The implants are placed into the jawbone during a planned surgical appointment. In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be attached the same day.

Heal

Over several months the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a permanent, stable anchor for your final teeth.

Restore

Once healed, your custom final bridge or full-arch prosthesis is attached, delivering teeth that look natural, feel secure, and function like your own.
