When Tooth Loss Isn’t Small — This Is the Fix
Sometimes an emergency takes more than one tooth. When that happens, implant-supported dentures are how you get stability, function, and confidence back without the runaround. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on adhesive to stay in place. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone with implant posts, which means they stay put when you eat, talk, and laugh. They’re removable for cleaning, but during the day you won’t be thinking about them — and that’s the point.
Placed In-House, Start to Finish
Dr. Johnson handles the implant placement and the restoration here, in one practice. No referrals, no coordinating between a surgeon and a separate lab, no gap in your care. We use 3D imaging before we start so placement is precise and your outcome is predictable.
When This Is the Right Next Step
Implant-supported dentures are a great option for patients who’ve lost most or all of their teeth and want more stability than traditional dentures offer, without the higher investment of full mouth implants. If you’re not sure which is the better fit, we’ll talk through both at your consultation and give you an honest recommendation.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture anchored to the jawbone with dental implants rather than resting on the gums. The implants provide a stable foundation so the denture doesn’t shift or slip. At DentCare Now, the entire process — from implant placement to final fitting — is handled in-house by Dr. Johnson.
How much do implant-supported dentures cost in Fairfax, VA?
Cost varies depending on how many implants are needed and the type of denture used. We’ll provide a full breakdown at your consultation — no surprises. Insurance typically does not cover implants. Elite Protection Plan members receive 10% off. Financing is available.
Are implant-supported dentures painful to get?
We numb the area completely before we start, so you’ll feel pressure but not pain. Laughing gas is available for extra support. There’s some soreness after the implant placement, which is normal and resolves within a few days. Most patients find the process much more manageable than they anticipated.
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
The implants themselves are designed to be permanent. The denture portion will need to be replaced or adjusted over time as normal wear occurs, but with proper care most patients get many years out of them. We’ll give you realistic expectations at your consultation.
