Hybrid Dentures
A Permanent Solution for a Full, Confident Smile
Hybrid dentures are a modern, long-lasting solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. This advanced treatment replaces an entire arch of teeth using dental implants to support a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.
What Are Hybrid Dentures?
Hybrid dentures are a full-arch restoration where dental implants are placed into the jawbone to securely anchor a fixed set of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, hybrid dentures are permanently attached, meaning they don't slip, move, or need to be removed.
In many cases, patients can receive new teeth the same day as surgery.
Key Benefits of Hybrid Dentures
- Permanent, fixed teeth — no adhesives or removal
- Natural look and feel — designed to match your smile
- Improved chewing and speech
- Helps preserve jawbone and facial structure
- Faster treatment and recovery compared to traditional methods
- More cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually with implants
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Hybrid dentures may be ideal if you:
- Are missing multiple or all teeth
- Currently wear dentures and want a permanent solution
- Have failing or severely damaged teeth
- Have been told you don't have enough bone for traditional implants
- Want a stable, confident smile that looks and feels natural
Thanks to strategic implant placement, many patients with bone loss may still qualify for hybrid dentures.
The Hybrid Denture Treatment Process
1. Consultation and Digital Planning: Your dentist evaluates your oral health using advanced imaging and creates a personalized treatment plan.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implants are precisely placed in the jaw to provide strength and long-term stability.
3. Same-Day Temporary Teeth Attached: A fixed temporary set of teeth is attached the same day in many cases, allowing you to leave with a functional smile.
4. Final Restoration: After healing, a custom-designed permanent bridge is placed for optimal comfort, durability, and aesthetics.
