At Nova Premier Dental, we offer permanent denture services in our office near McLean, VA and Falls Church, VA as a solution for your missing teeth.
Permanent dentures are also known as “All on 4” dentures, or a “fixed denture” and they are exactly that, a denture that is fixed and attached onto implants by a prosthodontist like Dr. Huang.
Permanent dentures combine dentures and dental implants to create a permanent option to replace sections of missing teeth. Once dental implants (the artificial roots) have been surgically placed, we can then attach a set of dentures to these implants. This allows you to have natural-looking teeth that will function with no movement, as close as you can get to your original real teeth. No one would be able to tell that they aren’t the teeth that you were born with.
Like dentures, permanent dentures are made of a variety of different materials. They come in acrylic (with hidden strength-bearing metal frameworks), or more commonly used nowadays, tooth colored Zirconia (as hard as artificial diamonds). At the end of the process, we highly recommend a night guard to be fabricated and worn at night to protect your investment. Standard routine professional cleanings and maintenance are also required to ensure your implants and permanent denture stay healthy.
Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry that focuses on dental prostheses. A prosthodontist is required when complicated dental treatments require a skill set above and beyond a general dentist might have to ensure restoring the optimal esthetics and function to your smile. A prosthodontist may work in conjunction with another dental specialist such as an oral surgeon to achieve your optimal outcome.
At Nova Premier Dental, we strive to make our dental clinic a comfortable welcoming home for you.You’ll always get individual services and the time that you need to make decisions. We understand that the choice between permanent dentures and another tooth-replacement option is a big one that will impact you for the rest of your life. We’re always happy to give a second opinion or go over the process with you again.
