Implant-Supported Dentures in Sterling, Leesburg & Aldie, VA

If your current dentures feel loose, uncomfortable, or make it difficult to eat and speak confidently, implant-supported dentures can provide the stability and comfort you’ve been missing. At NOVA Implant & Perio Specialists, led by Dr. Jean-Claude Kharmouche, we design custom implant-anchored dentures that look natural, fit securely, and allow you to enjoy life without adhesives or slipping.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a modern alternative to traditional removable dentures. Instead of resting on the gums alone, the denture attaches to dental implants placed in the jawbone, creating a stable and secure foundation.

How They Work

2 to 6 implants are placed in the jaw
The denture securely snaps or locks onto the implants
The result: a natural-looking smile that stays firmly in place

This solution allows for improved stability, better chewing ability, and long-term jawbone support.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

No slipping or clicking — your denture stays in place

Eat a wider variety of foods comfortably

Speak clearly without worrying about dentures shifting

Preserves jawbone and prevents facial collapse

No messy adhesives required

Smaller, more natural-feeling denture design

The Implant-Supported Denture Treatment Process

Step 1 — Personalized Consultation

We evaluate your oral health, review goals, and take 3D CBCT imaging to plan treatment precisely.

Step 2 — Implant Placement

Implants are placed using minimally-invasive, computer-guided techniques for accuracy and comfort.

Step 3 — Healing Period

Over several weeks to months, implants integrate with the jawbone, forming a strong foundation.

Step 4 — Attachment of the Denture

Your final custom denture is designed to match your smile and securely attach to the implants.

Who Is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

You may be a good candidate if you:

Are missing most or all of your teeth
Want to replace loose or uncomfortable dentures
Have sufficient jawbone for implant support
Prefer a fixed or semi-fixed denture option

What If You Have Bone Loss?

Bone loss is common after tooth loss — but solutions exist.
Dr. Kharmouche can perform bone grafting if necessary, or recommend techniques that allow placement even with limited bone.
