Hybrid implant prosthetics have emerged as an innovative and versatile solution for patients seeking tooth replacements in Chesterfield, MO. These prosthetic restorations offer a unique combination of fixed and removable options, providing patients with the best of both worlds. 

At Chesterfield Valley Dental, we’re proud to offer hybrid implant prosthetics as part of our comprehensive dental implant services. 

What Are Hybrid Implant Prosthetics?

Hybrid implant prosthetics, often called implant-supported hybrid dentures, are a modern solution designed to address the limitations of traditional dentures and provide a more secure and comfortable alternative to removable dentures.

1. Fixed and Removable Elements—Hybrid implant prosthetics include a fixed implant-supported bridge that attaches securely to dental implants and a removable denture that can be easily detached and reattached by the patient.

2. Stability and Security—The fixed portion of hybrid prosthetics is anchored by dental implants, providing stability and security. Patients can enjoy speaking and eating without worrying their teeth will slip or shift out of place. 

3. Easy Maintenance—Patients can remove the denture for thorough cleaning and oral hygiene, making it simpler to care for their oral health.

4. Aesthetics and Function—Hybrid implant prosthetics are designed to look and function like natural teeth. They offer improved aesthetics, speech, and chewing capabilities compared to traditional dentures.

The Hybrid Implant Prosthetics Procedure

1. Consultation and Evaluation—Our dental professionals will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if hybrid implant prosthetics are the right choice for you.

2. Dental Implant Placement—Our skilled implant dentist will surgically place the implants into your jawbone to serve as anchors for the prosthetic teeth. 

3. Fixed Bridge Attachment—Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, a custom-designed fixed bridge is attached to the implants, serving as a foundation for the removable denture. 

4. Removable Denture Placement—The removable denture or prosthetic arch is securely attached to the fixed bridge. Patients can easily snap it into place or remove it as needed.
