When it comes to rebuilding your entire smile and replacing multiple missing teeth at once, you’ll be presented with the option of dentures or dental implants. While dentures are less invasive and less expensive, dental implants offer superior long-term function, comfort and stability. Deciding between dentures and dental implants can be a difficult decision.
At Montevallo Family Dentistry, we give patients the options to have both! Our hybrid fixed dentures allow patients to avoid the drawbacks of traditional dentures while still enjoying the affordability and quicker outcome of a denture versus dental implants.
A hybrid fixed denture using the All-on-4 dental implant concept is a type of full-arch dental restoration that combines dental implants and a fixed prosthesis to replace a full set of missing teeth. The All-on-4 concept utilizes four dental implants strategically placed in the jawbone to support the denture. The hybrid fixed denture is a durable, non-removable prosthesis that is secured to the implants, providing stability, functionality, and an improved aesthetic appearance for individuals with multiple missing teeth or complete edentulism (tooth loss).
Traditional dentures are not for everyone. In fact, many patients become frustrated with removable dentures that fall out of place, irritate their gums and cause jaw bone loss over time.
A hybrid fixed denture addresses several common drawbacks associated with traditional removable dentures, including:
By addressing these drawbacks, a hybrid fixed denture offers enhanced comfort, stability, functionality, and overall satisfaction compared to traditional dentures.
The All-on-4 hybrid denture concept has been proven as a patient-preferred and dentist-approved solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. In fact, the success and satisfaction proof is in the statistics:
It's important to note that individual outcomes may vary depending on your oral health, bone density and other factors. By scheduling a visit with Dr. Shunnarah, we can explain what you can personally expect from a hybrid fixed denture.
