Hybrid Dentures: A Permanent Solution for Tooth Loss
Expert Care with Dr. Ali Obeidi
If you’re dealing with significant tooth loss and bone deterioration, hybrid dentures—also known as fixed-detachable dentures—may be the ideal solution for you. At Elite Dental Specialists, Dr. Ali Obeidi offers this advanced treatment to provide patients with a long-lasting, comfortable, and beautiful alternative to traditional removable dentures.
What Are Hybrid Dentures?
Hybrid dentures combine the best of both worlds: the stability of dental implantsand the full-arch restoration benefits of dentures. They are secured in place with four to six dental implants, which act as a strong foundation for your new set of teeth. Unlike removable dentures, hybrid dentures are permanently fixedin place and can only be removed by your dental provider.
This solution is especially beneficial for patients with:
- Extensive tooth loss
- Significant bone resorption
Discomfort or dissatisfaction with loose, removable dentures
Why Choose Hybrid Dentures?
- Natural Look and Feel– Custom-designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums
- No Slipping or Clicking– Securely attached to implants for stable speech and chewing
- Preserves Bone Health– Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing further bone loss
- All-in-One Solution– Replace both teeth and lost gum tissue in one streamlined restoration
- Improved Quality of Life– Smile, speak, and eat with complete confidence
How the Process Works
- Consultation & Planning
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including a 3D CBCT scan to assess your bone levels and oral health. Dr. Obeidi will create a fully customized treatment plan just for you. - Implant Placement
Four to six dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to create a stable foundation. In many cases, a temporary prosthetic can be attached on the same day. - Healing & Integration
Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a solid anchor for your final restoration.
Final Prosthesis
Once healed, your custom-designed hybrid denture—typically crafted from zirconiaor high-quality acrylic—is permanently fixed in place, providing a seamless and strong smile.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for hybrid dentures if you:
- Have multiple missing or failing teeth
- Are currently wearing loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Have experienced bone loss in the jaw
- Want a secure, long-term solution that doesn’t come in and out
Dr. Obeidi will perform a full assessment to determine if hybrid dentures or another implant solution is right for your needs.
