Hybrid Dentures
Implant-supported hybrid dentures combine the stability of implants with the full-arch restoration of dentures — for a permanent, confident smile.
Overview
The Best of Implants and Dentures — Combined
Hybrid dentures — also known as fixed implant dentures or All-on-4 restorations — represent one of the most advanced solutions for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, hybrid dentures are permanently fixed to dental implants embedded in the jawbone, providing unmatched stability, comfort, and function.
At Gateway Family Dentistry in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Gailey places the implants and designs the hybrid prosthesis in-house. Typically supported by four to six implants per arch, hybrid dentures eliminate the need for adhesives, prevent the bone loss associated with removable dentures, and let you eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Hybrid dentures are a life-changing solution for patients frustrated with loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures or those facing extensive tooth loss. If you're looking for a permanent, fixed alternative, Dr. Gailey will walk you through the entire process from consultation to final restoration.
Benefits
Why Choose This Treatment
Permanently Fixed
Hybrid dentures are screwed into implants — they don't come out. No adhesives, no slipping, no embarrassing moments.
Preserves Jawbone
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.
Eat Anything
With implant-level stability, you can bite into apples, corn on the cob, steak — foods that are off-limits with traditional dentures.
Long-Lasting Solution
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The prosthesis itself typically lasts 10-15 years before needing replacement.
Process
What to Expect
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Gailey assesses your bone density with 3D imaging, reviews your health history, and determines if you're a candidate for hybrid dentures.
Implant Placement
Four to six dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is attached the same day so you never go without teeth.
Healing Period
Over 3-6 months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a rock-solid foundation.
Final Prosthesis
Once healed, your custom-designed permanent hybrid denture is fabricated and secured to the implants. The result is a beautiful, functional full-arch restoration.
