Washington, DC Dental Implants Built to Last
One team, from planning to final crown.
Join the WaitlistA permanent answer for a missing tooth.
Losing a tooth changes more than your smile. It changes how you bite, how you speak, and, over the years, the shape of the bone beneath it.
Washington, DC Dental implants replace missing teeth from the root up: a small post placed in the jaw takes over the job of a natural tooth root, and a custom crown restores the tooth you see and chew with.
At DCStylishSmile, we handle every stage at our K Street office. Dr. Bukai plans your case in 3D, places the implant himself, and restores it with a crown made to match your natural teeth.
Why have your implant placed here?
Every implant case at our Washington, DC practice is planned digitally and placed by Dr. Bukai, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Here is what that looks like in practice.
-
One doctor, start to finish
We plan, place, and restore implants under one roof. You keep the same doctor and the same team from your first scan to your final crown, instead of being referred across town partway through treatment.
-
Digitally guided placement
CBCT 3D imaging lets us evaluate your teeth, bone density, joint health, and airway before discussing treatment. From that scan, we build a guided surgical plan and use photogrammetry to place the implant exactly where the plan says it belongs.
-
Laser-assisted care
Laser dentistry supports implant treatment across our practice, often with less bleeding, less post-operative discomfort, and faster healing than traditional techniques.
-
Comfort built into the plan
Nervous about oral surgery? We've got you. Nitrous oxide is available to keep you relaxed, and we schedule implant visits so you never feel rushed through them.
What if you have lost bone under a missing tooth?
Bone loss rarely rules out implants; it usually just changes the order of treatment. A tooth that has been missing for a while takes some of its supporting bone with it, and an implant needs solid ground. When your CBCT scan shows the bone needs help, we build grafting into your plan.
Each one gives your implant a stable foundation before it's placed.
Your first implant visit.
Your consultation starts with a conversation and a CBCT scan, and ends with a plan you understand.
Dr. Bukai walks you through what the scan shows, which options fit your mouth and your goals, and what your timeline and investment look like before you commit to anything. Curious how an appointment here feels? Our new patient experience walks you through it.

In their own words.
-
I was previously hiding my smile. Dr. Bukai explained my treatment plan in layman’s terms and made me feel more and more comfortable. My new crowns are AMAZING. Dr. Bukai is like Michelangelo.
Max B. -
Three dentists before Dr. Bukai couldn’t find a solution. Dr. Bukai had one right away. One single visit, no extra costs, no sales pitches. No pain during and after. His human sensibility to know what to do — and his continued dental education — did not hurt in my case either.
Michael M. -
Dr. Bukai and his staff are always very accommodating especially when I have an issue with my teeth. Whenever I consider going to a dentist that is closer to me I always remember their service and tell myself, “Nah! Why should I want to do that!"

Dental Implant FAQs
How much do dental implants in Washington, DC cost?
There is no single price, because no two cases ask for the same treatment. The total depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether grafting is needed first, and the type of restoration on top. You'll have a clear number after your consultation, before anything begins. To keep treatment workable, we offer CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Financial, and our in-house membership gives uninsured patients a discount on care.
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and a stable medical history are candidates. Bone loss is the most common obstacle, and grafting resolves it for many patients. The honest answer comes from your CBCT scan, which shows Dr. Bukai your bone, sinuses, and nerve positions in detail before he recommends anything.
How long does implant treatment take?
A single implant typically spans a few months from placement to final crown, because the post needs time to bond with your bone before it can carry a bite. Grafting adds healing time at the front of the process. At your consultation, you'll get a timeline for your specific case.
Does my insurance cover implant treatment?
Coverage for implants varies widely by plan. We're in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, and United Concordia, and we file with most PPO plans out-of-network. We verify your benefits before your appointment and explain what your plan will and won't cover.
What is recovery like after implant placement?
Plan on a few quieter days while the surgical site settles; most discomfort is manageable and temporary. Because we use laser-assisted techniques where appropriate, healing often involves less bleeding and less soreness than patients expect. You'll leave with clear aftercare instructions, and Dr. Bukai follows your healing at scheduled check-ins.
