Permanent Dentures & Implant Dentures in Centreville, VA

If you’re missing many teeth—or it’s simply the right time—we can consider dentures for you. Do you want traditional dentures that rest on the gums? Or would you like to see a state-of-the-art solution: implant dentures?

Implant-supported dentures replace your teeth with denture appliances that are anchored with dental implants. You can have dental implants placed in your jaw at our office, then have us customize and attach your permanent dentures. We’ll keep you comfortable in our family-friendly office at Centreville Dental Wellness Center, near Manassas and Chantilly, VA.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Each denture replaces an arch of teeth. It can be anchored to as few as two implants or as many as six, depending on the patient. Our Centreville patients appreciate them because this type of denture:

  • Lasts a Long Time: Permanent dentures can work for many years without needing adjustments or repairs. Their sturdy implant bases protect them from wear and keep them secure.
  • Won’t Fall Out or Move: Because they are attached securely to implants, these dentures can’t accidentally slip or pop out while you’re eating, speaking, smiling, or doing anything else.
  • Works Like Natural Teeth: Your permanent dentures will look natural and chew every type of food like they’re new teeth. You won’t have to avoid hard, crunchy, sticky foods at all.
  • Strengthens Your Jawbone: When dental implants bond to your jaw, the bone is naturally stimulated to grow. This helps to keep your jaw healthier for years to come, along with sometimes improving facial shape for some patients.

We take care of every part of the dental implant process here at Centreville Dental Wellness Center. We use an advanced CT scanner and surgical guides to precisely place your dental implants. And we can customize your dentures in the right colors and materials to look indistinguishable from real teeth.

Implant Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures

Some patients are happy with their traditional dentures, while others want to quickly switch to implant dentures—or opted out of traditional dentures from the beginning. We want you to choose the option that works for you, so here are some of the main features of each type of denture.

Traditional Dentures in Centreville, VA

Old man with traditional dentures in CentrevilleOur conventional dentures can look great and work well for many patients. They rest on the gums, and they stay in place with dental adhesive and suction. They allow our patients to use a low or moderate bite force on their food. You may need to chew on softer foods than you used to.

Because you are not paying for dental implants, the cost of customizing and placing your dentures may be lower with the traditional type.

Traditional dentures press on your gums, which can be uncomfortable for some patients. This pressure can also wear down the jawbone over time. Since the jawbone is not stimulated to grow, it can deteriorate and lose density, which can make it weaker, along with changing your facial shape.

We’ve noticed that some patients develop a slight lisp or another speech issue with traditional dentures. They also have to take them out every night to give their gums a break and clean their dentures. But, again, many patients use traditional dentures and are happy to have great teeth again.

Implant-Supported Dentures near Manassas and Chantilly, VA

Implant dentures stay securely in place—just like natural teeth. That’s because they’re attached directly to the jaw through dental implants, which are effectively titanium tooth root replacements. Your implant dentures:

  • Won’t fall out.
  • Don’t slip.
  • Let you chew any type of food.
  • Help strengthen your jawbone.

We can craft them to stay in place as permanent dentures. Or you can choose removable snap-in dentures that come out when you want to take them out for cleaning or sleeping (but that will never come out accidentally).

Because implant-supported dentures involve dental surgery to place two to six implants per arch, they cost more than traditional dentures. We can discuss the specific cost of the surgery and the dentures, adding up your total before we get started.

Am I a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

Centreville man with implant supported denturesWhen you visit Centreville Dental Wellness Center for a permanent dentures consultation, we’ll check your jawbone density, gum health, general readiness for minor surgery, and more. We’ll use our state-of-the-art CT scanner to model the implant area and find the precise sites for implantation.

If we find that your jaw is too thin in a necessary implant site, we may recommend a bone graft. This is a simple procedure of adding more bone or bone-like material to the jaw. It stimulates the jaw to grow to prepare you for implant surgery.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Dr Vakay and her team has been extraordinary. Very professional, very competent, and very caring. The culture exudes kindness and caring. Dr. Vakay's follow up with her patients is unusual in my experience . She called me in the evening to ask how I was doing. I have never had a doctor do that for me.

Tim S.

A colleague recommended Dr. Abel and my first time there was the best dental experience I have had in 43 years. I had my 2nd appt earlier this week. Another great experience. Everything from reception, cleaning, to leaving was great. The hygienist was so gentle, yet did an extremely thorough job. Excellent dental practice!!

Robin S.

The best dentist in the DMV! I have loved coming here and the office is incredible - you will not be dissatisfied and they take great care of thier patients. I would highly recommend this office.

Kelley M.

I've been coming into this office for years and every time they've been so warm and accommodating. Dr. Vakay and the whole staff really puts in every effort to make sure her patients are taken care of with the most high quality work. She fixed my Maryland Bridge so now my teeth look amazing and my smile gives me so much more confidence! I could not recommend this office enough!

Sydney C.

I have been using this practice for many years. The staff continues to be professional and thorough. The front desk staff is well versed in insurance practices and billing. They help me understand my benefits better than my insurance provider. Holly is a very professional dental hygienist who addressed several teeth and gum health issues by giving very practical tips for me to implement for better personal dental hygiene. Dr. Abel's practice is well run! They use the latest imaging technology that support accurate diagnostics. You will not be dissatisfied.

Charles I.

Professional, personable and all around AWESOME! I've been a fan since day 1 and can't say enough about this team! From the front office to the back, these folks take the edge off of "going to the dentist". Dr. Vacay leads the way with her expertise, gentle hands, and personal touches (she texted me on the evening of what I thought was a pretty minor procedure that day just to see if I was comfortable-WOW! Her assistant Christina really knows her stuff and moves with precision and a gentle touch. From the moment I walk in to the warm greetings of Sogand, Tonia, and Jessica, to the moment I walk out, I hardly remember I was "just at the dentist". Thank you, Centreville Dental Wellness Center! You make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience!!

Anastasia P.

I'm a current patient, doing a search of dentists that treat TMJ, and found Dr Vakay. Words cannot express her concern, a concrete pathway of treatment to make my mouth, my bite, all normal again. She is a wonderful find, has taken care of other issues on my teeth I'm so happy I found her! Thank you Dr Vakay for giving me my bite back!!! Also all staff from front desk to dental hygienist Could not be more satisfied!!
