Still Wearing Dentures? There’s a Better Option in Franconia & Alexandria, VA
If you rely on dentures and feel frustrated by slipping, discomfort, or difficulty eating, you’re not alone. Many denture patients across Franconia and Alexandria, VA believe this is simply “part of the deal.” The truth is — it doesn’t have to be.
At Alexandria Center of Dentistry, we help denture patients transition to permanent dental implant solutions that restore confidence, comfort, and function.
Common Denture Problems We Hear Every Day
Denture wearers often tell us they struggle with:
-
Dentures moving or slipping while talking
-
Difficulty chewing meats, fruits, or crunchy foods
-
Gum soreness and pressure spots
-
The need for adhesives
-
A sunken or aged facial appearance over time
These issues often worsen as the jawbone shrinks — a natural process that dentures cannot prevent.
Why Dentures Cause Bone Loss (and Why It Matters)
Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums. They do not stimulate the jawbone, which leads to bone loss over time. As the bone shrinks:
-
Dentures fit worse
-
Facial features change
-
Stability continues to decrease
Dental implants, on the other hand, are placed directly in the jawbone — helping preserve bone and maintain facial structure.
From Dentures to Full Arch Dental Implants
For patients missing all or most of their teeth, Full Arch Dental Implants offer a secure, long-term alternative to dentures.
This advanced treatment allows a full set of fixed teeth to be supported by dental implants — giving you:
-
A non-removable, stable smile
-
Strong biting and chewing ability
-
No adhesives or slipping
-
A natural look and feel
Many of our implant patients were previously denture wearers who wished they had made the switch sooner.
Can Denture Wearers Get Dental Implants?
Yes — even long-term denture patients may still be candidates for dental implants. During a comprehensive consultation at our Franconia dental office, Dr. Attia evaluates:
-
Bone quality and structure
-
Gum health
-
Medical history
-
Your personal goals
Modern implant dentistry offers solutions even for patients who were once told they had “no bone.”
