Implant Dentures in Alexandria
If you’re tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures—or if you’re missing most or all of your teeth—implant dentures may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Permanent Solutions That Look & Feel Natural
What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures—also called implant-supported or snap-in dentures—are a type of full-arch restoration anchored by dental implants. Rather than resting directly on your gums like traditional dentures, these dentures are stabilized by several implants placed in the jawbone. The result is a secure fit, improved function, and a natural-looking smile that feels more like your own teeth.
At Alexandria Oral Surgery, Dr. Jeffrey Rothman and Dr. Vincent Nguyen provide secure, long-lasting implant-supported dentures to restore your smile, confidence, and comfort. With advanced technology and specialized training, our surgeons ensure every step of your treatment is seamless, safe, and tailored to you.

The Implant Denture Process
1
Consultation & Planning
We begin with a thorough evaluation, including 3D imaging, to assess your bone structure and oral health. From there, we’ll determine if you’re a candidate for implant dentures and create a personalized treatment plan.
2
Implant Placement
Using advanced techniques, your surgeon will place 4–6 dental implants in the jawbone to support your denture. Sedation options are available to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
3
Final Restoration
Once the implants have healed and integrated with the bone, your dentist will attach a custom-made denture to the implants. The result is a full-arch restoration that looks and functions like a natural set of teeth.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between implant dentures and regular dentures?
Traditional dentures sit on the gums and can move or shift, especially while eating or speaking. Implant dentures are anchored to dental implants in the jaw, making them much more secure, stable, and natural-feeling.
Do implant dentures hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the implant procedure, which can be managed with local anesthesia and sedation. Mild soreness after surgery is common and typically resolves within a few days.
Are implant dentures removable?
Yes, some implant dentures are designed to be removable by the patient for easy cleaning, while others are fixed in place and only removable by a dentist. We’ll help you choose the best option for your needs.
How long do implant dentures last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, the implants themselves can last a lifetime. The denture portion may eventually need to be repaired or replaced due to normal wear.
Am I a candidate for implant dentures?
You may be a candidate if you are missing most or all of your teeth, are in good overall health, and have adequate jawbone density. During your consultation, we’ll assess your health and goals to determine the right solution for you.
