Secure Your Smile with Predictable Implant-retained Dentures

Implant Retained Dentures in Alexandria VA

For many, traditional dentures can be a constant source of worry. They make chewing difficult, and there’s always the uncertainty of when they might slip or, worse yet, fall out—whether at dinner with friends or while playing with your grandkids. If your current dentures are old, worn out, and no longer fit properly, it’s time for a switch. Upgrade to a new, custom set with implant-retained dentures in Alexandria, Virginia. Expertly placed at The Bell Dental Group, implant dentures provide improved comfort, function, and confidence!

What are implant-supported dentures?

Fed up with poorly fitting dentures? Implant dentures are a revolutionary solution for extensively missing teeth in the upper, lower jaw, or both. Traditional dentures rest solely on the gums, becoming unstable or uncomfortable over time as gums shrink because of prolonged tooth loss.

Implant dentures combine the stability of implants and the aesthetics of dentures. The dentist anchors a fixed or removable prosthesis on implants strategically placed in the mouth. Implant-supported dentures are stable and predictable, eliminating the need for nightly soaks and messy adhesives.

What can I expect from the procedure?

Like every treatment, the journey to transforming your smile with implant dentures starts with a consultation. The doctor will inspect your teeth and gums with digital X-rays and scans to determine your eligibility for the procedure. Most patients are relieved to learn that bone grafting is rarely necessary. The doctor skillfully maximizes the existing bone for a strong and stable foundation.

Our trusted oral surgeon carefully places a pre-determined number of implants in the jawbone with a single surgical procedure. The number of implants often ranges between 2 and 6, depending on your oral health needs. Your implant surgery is carefully executed, maximizing your comfort and satisfaction.

After surgery, your implants need 4-6 months to integrate with the jawbone. The osseointegration process helps the implants to form a rock-solid foundation for your replacement tooth. Once your implants are fully healed and integrated, Dr. Alonzo Bell will fit a custom-made denture into your implants. Your brand-new teeth look real, and your chewing and speaking ability is restored to near perfect.

Are implant-supported dentures worth it?

Living with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures means constantly adjusting how you eat, speak, and smile. Implant dentures are a welcome relief for patients seeking a more stable and reliable teeth replacement system.

Here are the benefits of implant-supported dentures.

Natural aesthetics: Your new teeth look so natural that most people won’t notice they are replacement teeth.
Improved stability: Your restoration is anchored in the jawbone with dental implants. Implant dentures don’t rock, move, or slip when eating or talking.
Jawbone preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone to maintain its health and stability.
Renewed oral function: Eat, speak, and smile naturally without worrying about your teeth.
Durability: Dental implants are built for long-term durability; many patients will never need to replace them.
Improved comfort: Each set of implant dentures is precisely designed to fit your mouth comfortably. The result is a secure, customized fit that feels more like natural teeth rather than a bulky prosthetic.
