Hybrid dentures are an excellent way to replace all of your missing teeth on the same dental arch.
They are better than traditional dentures because they are secure and provide better chewing ability.
Plus, hybrid dentures are permanent, and so it’s like having your natural teeth again, only better. Find out why Exceptional Dentistry recommends hybrid dentures and if this procedure is right for you.
What are Hybrid Dentures?
A hybrid denture is a type of denture, meaning it replaces all the teeth on a dental arch.
They are similar to traditional dentures, but they are stabilized through locator attachments, connecting several or more dental implants for maximum support. And, unlike a traditional implant that requires months of healing before the process can be completed, with hybrid dentures, your implants and replacement teeth can all be installed in a single day. Best of all, you can receive your hybrid dentures with no need for certain more invasive procedures.
That means there is no need for:
- Bone graft
- Sinus lift
- Sutures
- Extensive recovery
Are Hybrid Dentures Right for Me?
The ideal candidate for this procedure either has:
- Lost all of their teeth
- Has multiple bad teeth not worth replacing
- Wears dentures or a partial denture
Many people who receive hybrid dentures may not be good candidates for standard dental implants because they lack sufficient bone density or have too many teeth to replace. The implants used during the installation of hybrid dentures are placed in the frontal part of the jaw, which has a greater density. Additionally, with hybrid dentures, we can replace all of your missing teeth on a single dental arch using only four implants instead of an implant for every single tooth.
Why do Patients Choose Hybrid Dentures?
Cost:
As mentioned earlier, for patients with significant tooth loss, hybrid dentures are a much more efficient alternative to traditional dentures or single implants.
Convenience:
When anchored by the four implants, your new replacement teeth will not slip or shift in the mouth. You also won’t have to remove your dentures for cleaning; they’ll be installed permanently in your mouth, and cleaning them is as easy as brushing your teeth.
Nutrition:
If you’ve been living with significant tooth loss, your food options may be limited. By making the decision to receive hybrid dentures to restore your smile, you regain your chewing ability and can eat anything you want without worrying about your teeth slipping or popping out, as dentures sometimes do.
Better Bite:
Hybrid dentures, when installed by an expert dentist, also restore the proper alignment of your bite. Thanks to their training in the principles of neuromuscular dentistry, Drs. Pat Carroll and Deb Shoemaker consider the neuromuscular dimensions of your mouth when installing your new dentures. That means they will work to find and restore the ideal bite alignment.
