What are implant-supported dentures?

Dentures are often used by people who have lost all or most of their teeth. Anyone who has worn dentures knows that they can be quite a nuisance. They can be a great way to make chewing and speaking easier, but they also have downsides. Dentures can be difficult to keep in place when eating, which is one of the most common complaints.


Implant-supported dentures are more stable than traditional dentures. This is because they are attached to one or several dental implants. Thus, they are a lot less likely to slip or fall out of place than traditional dentures.


Implant dentures are available in many different shapes and sizes. However, these are the two main types:


  • Removable: dentures that can be removed and cleaned at night
  • Fixed: dentures that are fast in place and must be brushed just like natural teeth


Not only do implant-supported dentures provide a more comfortable fit and easier maintenance, but they also look and feel natural, so much so that it's nearly impossible to tell these from your natural teeth.

Common Questions about Implant-Supported dentures

Here's a list with answers to the most common questions our patients ask about implant-supported dentures. You can call us or make an appointment if you do not see your question below.

  • What is the material of implant-supported dentures?

    Our patients wonder if people will be able to tell they are wearing dentures. With implant-supported dentures, there is no need to worry! The acrylic resin used to make the dentures gives them a perfect shine and color, making them look like natural teeth. You can keep them a secret because most people won't even notice!

  • How durable are dentures supported by implants?

    Dentures of high quality are durable enough to withstand daily pressures such as chewing and tearing food. They also remain securely in place. The titanium alloy used in the dental implants that attach to your dentures is responsible for this. This material is perfect for osseointegration - the process where your jawbones fuse around the implant and grow during the healing phase. You can be sure that this type of denture can handle the bite!

  • Does the surgery hurt?

    We are committed to your comfort and satisfaction! We will make every effort to keep you calm when you visit our dental office for your new teeth. Modern dentistry uses improved tools which are easier to use, and more patient-friendly than those of the past. Our expert dentists are highly trained and have a lot of experience working with patients. This ensures that the treatment will go smoothly. After your surgery, we will also give you tips on how to deal with any discomfort or swelling.

  • How long will these new teeth last me?

    Your implant-supported dentures will last many years with proper oral hygiene. Dental implants are generally made from titanium and last a lifetime. Dentures can be replaced but if they are taken care of, they will last for 10-20 years. If you need to replace them, you can easily create a brand-new set.

IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES: BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

You have several options when it comes to selecting dentures. New River Valley Dental Care recommends implant-supported dentures as they have many advantages over traditional dentures:


  • No slippage
  • More comfort
  • Self-confidence can be improved
  • Cleans easier
  • Strengthened chewing power
  • Healthier gum tissue
  • Jawbone loss can be reduced
  • The discreet replacement of teeth
  • Durability
  • Quality of life improved

What is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

A bridge is used to replace multiple missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges are often the best option for restoring multiple-tooth gaps. The traditional restoration methods of fixed bridges and removable partials can weaken the nearby bone due to their reliance on nearby teeth. Implant-supported bridges, however, integrate with natural bone more seamlessly for a stronger solution.



Bridges are made by placing one or more implants, depending on the number of missing teeth. Temporary teeth are then attached to these implants until a permanent bridge is attached. This design looks like real teeth and allows you to speak and chew properly.

All on 4, 6 or X Dental Implants

It can be embarrassing to lose all or most of your natural teeth. This can also reduce your quality-of-life. It can be difficult to eat or speak without your natural teeth. People who have missing teeth may also be self-conscious and shy away from social situations.


However, it's more than that. Did you know that the loss of your permanent teeth could also lead to a cascade of other oral health issues? Common issues are these:


  • a loss of bone mass within your jaw
  • jawbones with altered shape
  • weaker bite
  • difficulty eating your favorite foods


You may have experienced the challenges that come with missing teeth. Imagine how your life would change if you were able to restore your smile. Would you be able to smile confidently again?


We have some good news: You can improve your oral hygiene and get back your confidence. You can schedule an appointment at New River Valley Dental Care for All-on-4, or All-on-6 dental implants.

What are All-on-4, 6, or X Dental implants?

Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth. It is a relatively simple procedure which involves implanting a titanium rod deep into your jawbone. After the post has healed, we attach your brand-new crown.


But, what if all or most of your teeth are missing? Dentures were the only option in the past. They could slip out of position, cause irritation to your cheeks and general discomfort. Our dental team in Christiansburg, VA, can now restore a complete arch of teeth using just a few implants. Read on to find out more about the different types of implants.

  • All on Four Implants

    This procedure involves the placement of four dental implants in strategic locations within your jawbone. After the implants have fully healed, our dentists will attach a full set of replacement teeth to restore your smile.

  • All on Six Implants

    The All-on-6 dental implant procedure is similar to the All-on-4 except we use six dental implants to secure your replacement teeth. It is important to consider the amount of bone available in your jawbones and how healthy it is. This will determine which treatment is best for you.

  • All on X Implants

    All-on-X refers to a simpler way of describing a surgical procedure that replaces multiple missing teeth using fewer dental implants. Depending on the health and size of your jawbones, you may require 4, 6, or 8 dental implants. The phrase "All-on-X", simply means that your teeth have been replaced by X number of dental implants.

The All-on-4, 6, or X tooth replacement options offer many benefits

Why choose All-on-4, 6, or X dental implants for your smile restoration project? These tooth replacement options offer incredible benefits you can't get from traditional dentures:


  • Alternatives to permanent tooth replacement
  • A much stronger ability to bite
  • New teeth that feel, look and perform just like natural teeth
  • Maintain your jawbone health
  • Restore your confidence
  • No more dietary restrictions
