Dentures & Partials in Arlington, VA

Dr Mooney showing a patient their digital dental impressions Are you interested in tooth replacement but uncertain which type is right for you? Dentures are a reliable, time-tested solution, whether you have a few missing teeth or need full arch replacement. At Clarendon Family Dentistry, we work with you to ensure your replacement teeth function comfortably and complement your appearance.

Types of Dentures We Offer

We offer several types of dentures at our Arlington, VA, dental office to suit various needs and preferences:

Removable Full Dentures — These dentures replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are typically made from a combination of acrylic resin and lightweight metals for a natural look and comfortable fit.
Removable Partial Dentures — Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth and are anchored to remaining teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
Implant-Retained Dentures — For added stability and comfort, dentures can be stabilized with dental implants. This option offers peace of mind with a secure fit that eliminates the risk of movement and improves your ability to chew and speak confidently.

Clarendon Family Dentistry would love to be part of your plan to restore your smile with dentures. Please call our Ashburn, VA, dental office at (703) 522-8894 to schedule a consultation appointment so we can get started!

Why Choose Dentures and Partials?

Forget clunky, fake-looking dentures. Modern dentures look, fit, and feel better and offer many benefits!

No Long Waiting Period

Unlike dental implants, which require a longer waiting period for healing and integration, dentures offer a quicker solution to replacing missing teeth. You can restore your smile and functionality without the extended treatment timeline associated with implants.

Renewed Confidence

Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore the natural appearance of your smile. Improved aesthetics, along with the regained ability to eat and speak comfortably, significantly boosts your confidence and overall comfort in social interactions.

Affordable Alternative

Dentures are a cost-effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. They offer significant improvements in function and appearance at a fraction of the cost of more extensive restorative options like implants, making them accessible to a broader range of patients.

The Denture Process

Dr Mooney showing a patient their digital results Getting dentures is a step-by-step process that we make as smooth as possible:

Initial Consultation — Our denture dentist performs a comprehensive exam and discusses your goals and expectations to recommend the best denture option.
Digital Impressions — Advanced imaging technology captures impressions of your teeth and gums and creates a precise model of your mouth.
Wax Try-Ins — Before we finalize your dentures, a wax try-in version lets you preview its fit and appearance. This allows us to make necessary adjustments and ensure you are completely satisfied with the look and feel before proceeding.
Final Denture Fitting — Once your dentures are ready, we'll adjust them as needed to ensure they fit comfortably. Dr. Mooney will also guide you on caring for and maintaining your new dentures.

It’s common to experience some frustration with new dentures as your mouth gets used to the new feel. Be patient with yourself and remember we are here to support and guide you and make adjustments as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you make dentures?

We are pleased to offer beautiful, realistic-looking dentures for our Arlington, VA, patients. Dr. Brigid Mooney takes great care to ensure your replacement teeth look natural and complement your smile.

Types of Dentures

Let’s look at the two main types of dentures:

Full or Complete Dentures — This is the solution you need if you are missing all or most of your teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both arches.
Partial Dentures — Dr. Mooney recommends partials for patients who have most of their teeth but want to fill in missing tooth gaps. The partials are designed with the same care as full dentures but are held in place with metal or acrylic clasps attached to adjacent teeth.

Realistic Modern Dentures

Whether you need a full set of dentures to complete your smile or a partial to fill in missing tooth gaps, we will customize your prosthetic. If you’re considering dentures, it’s important to know they look nothing like their older counterparts. The base of modern dentures is a lighter, more flexible material, and the replacement teeth are individually crafted with the latest materials to replicate the appearance of natural teeth.

How do I know if I need a full denture or a partial denture?

The choice between full and partial dentures depends mostly on how many teeth you’re missing and the health of you’re remaining teeth. This is something that you and your dentist will talk through after they’ve completed a thorough evaluation of your teeth and oral health.

Full dentures are generally used in cases where someone has lost all or most of their teeth in one or both arches. They are a good option in such cases because they replace all of your teeth on one or both arches.

Partial dentures work a bit differently. They are used to replace a few missing teeth while you still have remaining healthy teeth. Partial dentures are anchored to your existing teeth using metal clasps or other types of precision attachments. You’re a candidate for partial dentures if you still have strong, healthy teeth that can support the appliance.

At Clarendon Family Dentistry, we also offer implant-supported dentures for people who need replacements for full arches of missing teeth or for people with a few missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures provide excellent stability and comfort by securing your dentures with dental implants. These types of dentures are anchored to your jawbone and won’t move when you are eating or talking.

Schedule Your Denture Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Mooney will examine your mouth and discuss your specific needs. She’ll evaluate the condition of your remaining teeth, your jawbone structure, and your lifestyle to figure out the best solution for you. If you are ready, give us a call at (703) 522-8894 to discuss your tooth replacement options.
