Dentures
Missing teeth can not only be embarrassing, but can also impact your ability to eat and speak properly.
Dentures are a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth that restore both appearance and function.
Learn how dentures from the award-winning dentists at Smile Designer DDS in Arlington, VA, can help you smile again.
Restoration Tailored to Your Needs
Full dentures can restore one or both dental arches if all teeth are missing.
Three or more missing teeth in a row can be addressed with partial dentures.
A partial denture can also fill multiple gaps created by missing teeth.
Implant-Supported vs Traditional Dentures
Depending on your dental needs and preferences, dentures can be implant-supported or traditional. There are a few key differences between the two types. At your initial consultation at our Arlington office, your dentist will discuss which type is right for you.
Traditional dentures rely on suction and denture adhesive to remain in place along the gums. Implant-supported dentures use titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jaw. Once the jawbone has healed, the dentures are secured to the dental implants, eliminating the need for adhesives. Implant-supported dentures are more stable, and implants are the only restorative dentistry treatment that can prevent the jawbone atrophy that occurs with tooth loss.
While traditional dentures need to be removed for cleaning, implant-supported dentures are treated just like natural teeth. They are only removed for dental cleanings by your dentist or hygienist.

Benefits of Dentures
When you choose to receive dentures from our Ivy League trained dentists, you can experience a wealth of invaluable benefits:
Improved Quality of Life
Missing teeth can make it difficult to speak clearly or to chew your favorite foods. With dentures from our Arlington practice, you can eat the foods you love and speak normally once more.
Improved Oral Health
Tooth loss and decay can cause other oral health problems, such as infections. Extracting severely decayed or damaged teeth and replacing them with dentures can eliminate the risk of further dental issues.
Support to Surrounding Bone and Gum Tissue
Even a single missing tooth can cause bone and tissue degeneration, leading to bone loss and sagging facial features. Implants provide much-needed stimulation to the jawbone and gum tissue in place of missing tooth roots.
Prevent Excessive Wear on Remaining Natural Teeth
If you have remaining natural teeth, your bite force may be unevenly distributed, causing excessive wear on those teeth and even TMJ disorder symptoms. Dentures can restore a balanced bite, allowing you to eat and speak more naturally and distributing the wear along all teeth.
Boosted Self-Confidence
If you have been hiding your smile because you are embarrassed about missing teeth, our skilled team of dentists at Smile Designer DDS can give you the smile of your dreams with dentures. Whether you need a partial or full denture, we will give you a reason to smile with confidence.

Dr. Han is an excellent dentist. He has done extensive work on my teeth and I have not once had pain. I was always scared to go to the dentist but that fear is gone since I've been going to Smile Designer. I would recommend Dr. Han and the dental hygienists that do cleanings to everyone. Excellent practice!
