Say Goodbye to Dentures Slipping
If you want dentures that do not slip or become loose while talking or eating, consider the benefits of mini implants with Dr. Withers to complement your treatment in Fairfax, VA. This procedure is less involved and more affordable than traditional implants. They can be performed to hold dentures in place or to replace a single missing tooth.
Enjoy Daily Activities with Comfort and Confidence
One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional dentures is that they can slip or become loose when the wearer is eating and speaking. Receiving dental implants in conjunction with dentures can eliminate this problem because the dentures are attached to the implants. Mini dental implants can be an attractive alternative to traditional implants for this purpose because they hold the dentures in place and allow the patient to eat, smile, talk, and enjoy daily activities with comfort and confidence. It is also a procedure that can replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth. Treatment boasts a 95 percent success rate and can be an affordable alternative to traditional dental implants when paired with dentures. Dr. Withers can replace a single tooth with a mini dental implant and implant crown in less time than it would take to place a traditional crown.

Implant Supported Dentures - Fairfax, VA
Permanent Dentures Improve Your Lifestyle in Fairfax, VA
The Comfort of a Secure Fit
Implant supported dentures fit right on top of a set of dental implants to provide a very secure fit. This type of bond eliminates the risk of slipping and looseness associated with traditional dentures. They can be removed easily for cleaning. You could also choose fixed implant supported dentures that look and function just like your natural teeth.
Dentures Supported by Dental Implants in Fairfax, VA
Dr. Withers can fit a set of implant supported dentures right over dental implants. This type of bond is very secure, making implant supported dentures a preferred option over regular dentures. These implant dentures can be removed for cleaning purposes, but some patients may choose fixed implant supported dentures which work just like your permanent teeth.
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures Include:
- Increased stability
- Eat and speak with confidence
- Minimal discomfort
- Strong and secure fit
- No clicking sounds
No Adhesives or Pastes
Since traditional dentures sit on top of the gums, they can cause bone deterioration and complications such as slipping. They can also make embarrassing clicking sounds when eating or speaking. Implant supported dentures are anchored in the mouth with dental implants through an attachment designed with metal bars or studs. They fit on top of the implants and create a very strong fit. No adhesives or pastes are necessary because the implant supported dentures do not shift or slip. These dentures can be removed for cleaning purposes, or patients have the option to receive fixed implant supported dentures which look and function just like permanent teeth.
Bar-Retained Dentures
Three or more dental implants are place into the jaw bone with bar retained dentures. In this type of attachment, a set of metal bars are placed on the gum line between each implant and the denture sits on top of these bars. Bar retained dentures do not have complications such as rubbing against the gums or discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
Stud or Ball Retained Dentures
Ball retained dentures are also known as stud attached dentures and create a strong fit with a ball and socket mechanism. The base of the denture is designed with a series of sockets that line up with balls that are placed right on top of the dental implants connected to the jaw bone. This allows for an open palate denture and is less likely to slip and move. One of the biggest benefits of this type of attachment is that it restores the patient’s ability to eat and speak without difficulty.
