What is a hybrid denture? A hybrid denture is a cross between a removable implant-supported denture and a fixed bridge. Because a hybrid denture is secured into place with fixed screws, it can only be removed by the clinician for periodic maintenance.
Benefits of Hybrid Dentures
Whether you choose an all-ceramic restoration or a final restoration made from a metal framework covered by acrylic resin, a hybrid implant denture offers restorative options unmatched by any removable appliance. Some of the added benefits include:
A more affordable way to restore an entire dental arch than dental implants that replace individual missing teeth
Look, function, and feel like natural teeth
Stability; offers maximum support from the dental implants
More convenient for patients because they do not need to remove the appliance
Embarrassment is avoided because friends and loved ones never see the patient without their teeth
Less bulky than traditional dentures or even removable implant-supported dentures
Taste buds and temperature sensors are more fully exposed
Because the restoration is fully supported by implants, gum irritation is eliminated
