Implant-Supported Dentures in Centreville
Centreville is a rapidly growing western Fairfax County community with abundant shopping, dining, and family recreation, and when it comes to implant-supported dentures, the community trusts the team of periodontists at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Alexandria. Implant-supported dentures are overdentures anchored to dental implants rather than resting on the gums alone, providing dramatically improved stability, comfort, and chewing efficiency.
Many of our implant-supported dentures patients travel from Centreville — a drive of only about 25 minutes — because they value the combination of periodontal expertise and personalized attention we provide. Traditional dentures can slip, cause sore spots, and accelerate bone loss. Implant-supported dentures eliminate these problems by attaching securely to implants, restoring confidence in eating and speaking.
Why Precision Periodontics
Board-certified periodontists serving Centreville.
Our periodontists can often place as few as two to four implants per arch to support a denture with snap-on or bar-retained attachments. The result is a secure, comfortable fit that feels far more natural than conventional dentures. Our team includes six board-certified periodontists — Drs. Zalewsky, Alani, Artis, Daru, Lakkis, and Ganesh — giving Centreville patients access to a depth of expertise unmatched in the DC metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implant-Supported Dentures FAQ for Centreville Patients
What is the difference between implant-supported dentures and regular dentures?
Regular dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesive for retention. Implant-supported dentures anchor to two to six dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing dramatically better stability, chewing power, and comfort. They also prevent the ongoing bone loss that conventional dentures cause.
Do implant-supported dentures need to be removed at night?
It depends on the type. Overdentures (snap-in) should be removed nightly for cleaning the denture and the attachment components. Bar-retained and screw-retained implant dentures are fixed and stay in place at all times — they are cleaned like natural teeth while in your mouth.
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. The denture prosthesis typically lasts 10 to 15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Attachment components (clips, O-rings, locators) may need replacement every one to two years as they wear with daily use.
Can my current denture be converted to an implant-supported denture?
In many cases, yes. If your existing denture is in good condition, your periodontist can retrofit it to attach to newly placed implants by adding locator housings. This can be a cost-effective option, though a new denture designed specifically for implant support often provides superior fit and aesthetics.
