A Stable, Natural-Looking Alternative to Traditional Dentures
At The Foleck Center, we proudly offer implant-supported dentures to patients throughout Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton, and the greater Southeast region. Using advanced dental implant technology, this innovative tooth replacement solution provides unmatched comfort, stability, and confidence—far beyond what traditional dentures can offer.
Missing teeth shouldn’t stop you from smiling, eating, or living with confidence. At The Foleck Center, we specialize in life-changing dental implant solutions that look and feel completely natural.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are full or partial dentures that are anchored to the jaw using dental implants. Instead of resting on your gums or relying on adhesives, these dentures securely attach to titanium posts embedded in your jawbone. There are two main types:
- Removable Implant-Supported Dentures: Snap onto implants for daily removal and cleaning.
- Fixed Implant Dentures (All-on-4 or All-on-6): Permanently affixed to implants for a non-removable, natural feel.
This restorative option is ideal for individuals missing most or all of their teeth and offers greater stability and function than traditional dentures. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your bone structure, health, and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable solution.
Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that rest on the gums or depend on neighboring teeth for support, dental implants integrate directly with your jawbone—just like natural tooth roots. This unique foundation makes them the most stable, comfortable, and long-lasting tooth replacement option available today. Dental implants not only restore your ability to eat and speak with confidence but also deliver results that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer significant improvements in both comfort and oral health when compared to conventional options:
- Improved Stability: No slipping or shifting while speaking or eating
- Enhanced Chewing Power: Eat a wider range of foods comfortably
- Natural Look & Feel: Custom fit for optimal aesthetics and function
- Straight-forward Care: Can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth
- No Adhesives Required: Secure hold without messy pastes or glues
- Jawbone Preservation: Implants stimulate bone tissue to reduce loss
- Better Speech: Reduced clicking or slurring often caused by loose dentures
- Reduced Gum Irritation: More comfortable fit with fewer sore spots
By supporting your jaw structure, implant dentures also help prevent facial sagging and maintain a more youthful appearance than traditional dentures.
Preserve Your Bone, Your Smile, and Your Youthful Appearance
When natural teeth are lost, the underlying bone begins to deteriorate over time—causing the face to appear sunken or aged. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that actively prevents this process by stimulating the jawbone just like natural roots do. By maintaining bone density and supporting facial structure, implant-supported dentures help you keep a fuller, more youthful look while protecting your long-term oral health.
Fixed Partial Dentures (Implant-Supported Bridges)
For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, fixed partial dentures, also known as implant-supported bridges, provide a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution. These bridges are either secured to crowns or dental implants, creating a stable and lifelike appearance. They are ideal for patients seeking non-removable restorations that closely mimic the function and look of natural teeth.
