Custom Dentures in Leesburg, VA:

4 Signs You May Need Dentures

Waiting to treat tooth loss can cause your facial muscles to sag, making you look older, and can even lead to bone loss. You may be a candidate for dentures if you are experiencing:

• Missing or Loose Teeth: Due to injury, severe decay, or periodontal (gum) disease.
• Difficulty Chewing: Persistent discomfort or pain when eating everyday foods.
• Changes in Speech: Trouble pronouncing certain words clearly due to gaps in your teeth.
• Severe Tooth Decay: Painful teeth that cannot be saved with a root canal or crown.

Types of Dentures We Offer

We understand that every patient is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Loza will help you select the best restorative option for your lifestyle and budget.

1. Complete (Full) Dentures

If you have lost all your natural teeth on your upper or lower jaw, complete dentures will fully restore your arch.

• Conventional Dentures: Placed after any remaining teeth are extracted and the gum tissue has fully healed.
• Immediate Dentures: Placed on the exact same day your teeth are removed, ensuring you never have to go without a smile while your mouth heals.

2. Partial Dentures

If you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture is an excellent option. This removable device rests on a metal or acrylic framework that attaches securely to your natural teeth, filling in the gaps and preventing your remaining teeth from shifting.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

For the ultimate in stability and comfort, we offer implant-supported dentures. By attaching your dentures directly to titanium dental implants anchored in your jaw, you never have to worry about your teeth slipping while talking or eating. Options include removable “snap-in” overdentures and permanent, fixed full-arch bridges (All-On-X).

What to Expect: The Denture Process at Leesburg Dental

Getting dentures is a journey, and our compassionate team is here to guide you every step of the way:

1. Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Loza will examine your mouth, take digital 3D scans (no messy putty impressions!), and discuss your goals.
2. Tooth Extraction & Healing: If necessary, we will gently extract unhealthy teeth. If you choose immediate dentures, they will be placed now.
3. Custom Fittings: Once your gums have healed, we will conduct a series of fittings to ensure your permanent dentures fit securely and comfortably.
4. Final Placement & Adjustments: You will leave our office with a beautiful, natural-looking smile. We will also schedule follow-up visits to make any minor adjustments for the perfect fit.
