Hybrid Prosthesis
A hybrid prosthesis can be an excellent option for individuals with specific dental conditions or concerns. We proudly offer this solution to our Concord, NC, patients!
What Are Hybrid Dentures?
Hybrid dentures, or fixed-detachable prostheses, are attached to four or more implants in the jaw. Unlike removable dentures, they do not rub against the gums and work much more like natural teeth. People enjoy hybrid dentures because they open a wider range of benefits, such as more food options, improved stability, and an attractive smile.
Am I a Candidate for a Hybrid Prosthesis?
If you are tired of wearing traditional dentures and have always wanted fixed teeth, you could be a good candidate for hybrid fixed-detachable dentures. While the suitability for hybrid prosthesis may vary based on individual circumstances, here are some common candidates who can benefit from this treatment:
- Patients who have lost all or a significant number of their natural teeth
- Patients with inadequate bone support
- Individuals who have struggled with conventional dentures
- Patients with a desire for improved aesthetics
- Patients who want to improve speech and function
Am I a Candidate for a Hybrid Prosthesis?
Hybrid dentures require a specific cleaning process that differs from traditional removable dentures and natural teeth. It is crucial to follow these guidelines for effective cleaning to ensure the longevity of your hybrid dentures and maintain healthy gums and jawbone:
Thorough Cleaning: Clean both under and around the dentures to remove any food particles or debris that may accumulate. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or an interdental brush to clean the areas where the dentures meet the gums, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning routine.
Special Attention to Teeth: Pay extra attention to the artificial teeth on your hybrid dentures when cleaning them. Brush them gently with a non-abrasive toothpaste to maintain their appearance and functionality.
Regular Professional Cleaning: Visiting Zsambeky, Chaney, & Associates regularly for a professional cleaning is highly recommended. Our dental team has the expertise and tools to thoroughly clean your hybrid dentures, ensuring their optimal hygiene and longevity. During these visits, we will safely remove the dentures, clean them professionally, and examine your oral health.
