Receiving Hybrid Dentures

Dentures can help you regain your smile after serious tooth loss. Partial dentures work around your remaining teeth, with hidden clasps keeping the set in place. Many people assume full dentures must be supported by adhesive, or with natural suction. However, these are not your only options. Hybrid dentures use the support of dental implants to stay in place. This form of support can limit problems related to keeping your dentures from moving in your mouth. The implants can also avoid friction affecting your jaw ridge, and reduce your risk of losing material in your jawbone.

Receiving Your Dental Implants

For a set of hybrid dentures, you will receive a sequence of mini implants. These smaller posts are less taxing on your jaw, which is especially important for patients who have suffered depletion in the area. The posts will need time to heal after placement. During this process, your bone will actually fuse with the implants.

Hybrid Dentures Provide Stability And Jawbone Support

By providing new stimulation in your jaw, dental implants can help you avoid losing bone. Tooth roots help sustain your jaw by creating stimulation – your implants will replace that lost effect. With support from implants, you will not have to rely on adhesives or suction to hold your dentures in place.

The Connection Between Gum Disease And Tooth Loss

Because it can do so much harm to the area surrounding teeth, gum disease has been determined to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. One way to help preserve your teeth is to keep your gum tissue healthy. A periodontal treatment from your dentist can help you accomplish this.
