Hybrid dentures are a cross between a regular denture and a fixed bridge. When there is a lot of bone loss in your jaws and you would like to have a prosthesis that is fixed and not removable a Hybrid Denture is the best solution. I you have extensive gum and bone loss a regular porcelain bridge that doesn’t replace any of the gum tissue would give the teeth the appearance of being way too large for your mouth. A Hybrid Denture solves this problem by replacing the lost bone and the lost gum tissue with pink acrylic or pink ceramics between the teeth to allow the teeth to be of normal size and naturally looking.

Hybrid Dentures, are also called: Hybridge Dentures,  Hybrid Bridge, Fixed Removable Dentures,  Hybrid Implant Dentures,  Fixed Dentures, All on Four,  All on Six, All on Eight,  Immediate Hybrid Dentures, Pretteau Bridge, Fixed hybrid, Screw-Retained Hybrid Restorations, Screw-Retained Hybrid Bridge, Fixed-Detachable Dentures, Fixed-Detachable Bridges, Fixed Hybrid Implant Bridge, among other terms.

To design a Hybrid Denture, four, six, eight or ten dental implants are placed in the jaw bone depending on the amount and quality of the remaining tissue then the Hybrid Denture is screwed onto the implants.  The result is a new set of teeth that are cosmetically placing, strongly attached to your jaw bones that restore the use and enjoyment of real teeth.

Hybrid Dentures are permanently attached to your jaw bone and can only by remove by your dentist every 4 or 6 months for cleaning and maintenance. Hybrid dentures are made at Paternina Dental Center of modern ceramics materials that are very strong and look beautifully natural.
