Your journey to a secure, natural-looking smile begins with a thorough consultation. During this visit, your dentist will assess your oral health, jawbone density, and gum condition to determine if you’re a good candidate for hybrid implants. This process may include:

Digital X-rays and impressions

3D Cone Beam CT scans for precise bone mapping

Evaluation of nerve and sinus locations to plan optimal implant placement

Once you are confirmed as a candidate, a customized treatment plan is created. This plan outlines:

The type and number of implants needed

Implant placement locations

The design and material of your hybrid denture

Any additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts

Your permanent hybrid denture is securely attached to the implants. The dentist will make any necessary adjustments to optimize comfort, fit, and bite function, ensuring a natural feel and appearance.

If you have remaining natural teeth that must be removed to accommodate the hybrid denture, extractions will be performed—often on the same day as implant placement. If no teeth remain, this step is skipped.

Titanium implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as secure anchors for the hybrid denture. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Following implant placement, a healing phase of 3 to 6 months is necessary for osseointegration—the process where implants fuse with your jawbone. This critical stage ensures a stable, durable foundation. A temporary denture is typically provided for comfort, function, and appearance during this period.

After successful osseointegration, precise impressions are taken to design your final hybrid denture. The dental lab will craft a custom prosthesis—often with a titanium framework and natural-looking artificial teeth—for a perfect fit.
