All-on-4 Dental Implants in South Jordan, Utah

Commonly known as all-on-4 or all-on-X dental implants, hybrid implant-supported dentures are a type of prosthesis that replaces a full set of upper and/or lower missing teeth. Hybrid dentures give patients the confidence to live life to its fullest. They permit near-full functionality when chewing and the ability to smile and laugh without any fear of displacement. With hybrids, patients don’t have to take anything out at night or fuss with messy denture adhesive. Hybrids give patients the closest thing possible to their natural teeth. 

At Copper Creek Dental, we use advanced in-house technology to help patients in South Jordan’s Daybreak and surrounding communities get back to living the life they were expecting to live. This process replaces their missing teeth with comfortable, natural-looking hybrid implant-supported dentures.

What Are Hybrid Implant-Supported Dentures?

Hybrid dentures are a prosthetic dental arch that is made up of a full set of false teeth, which are mounted in a base of pink resin that resembles natural gums. The custom-designed esthetic arch fits over your existing gums and is anchored by four (all-on-4) or more metal posts called dental implants that are surgically placed in your jaw. They don’t require nightly removal, and are maintained similarly to regular teeth.

Benefits of Hybrid Dentures

Fast Results

When dental implants are placed one at a time, biology requires that we wait for the metal implant post to integrate with your jaw before the crown can be placed. In the meantime, a metal healing cap is attached to the post, so your smile doesn’t look natural for around three to six months. 

Although hybrid dentures still require multiple appointments, you get to show off a brand-new smile faster. A temporary hybrid is placed the same day the posts are implanted so you can have a natural-looking smile throughout the healing process. There will never be a day you’ll have to go without teeth. This process takes a lot of the shock out of the experience.

Long-Lasting

Traditional dentures can easily break if you drop them. Hybrid dentures, however, are more durable and can last a lifetime as long as you keep them clean. Plus, they cannot be removed at home so you never have to worry about accidentally dropping your dentures. In our office, hybrids are made of highly esthetic, fracture-resistant zirconia. This is the same material we use to fabricate individual crowns. Our long-standing relationship with the dental lab gives you access to a lifetime guarantee of the materials when certain lab-specified criteria are met. This includes allowing them to inspect the prosthesis annually under a microscope. Often these prosthetics will outlast you.

Comfortable

We use advanced technology to take a digital impression of your mouth and design hybrid dentures that fit comfortably over your gums. Because hybrid dentures are held securely in place, they can’t slip and slide around your mouth causing painful gum irritation like traditional dentures. The complete stability of hybrid dentures also allows you to eat and speak comfortably without dietary restrictions or worrying about the prosthesis falling out. They will predictably stay exactly where they are supposed to be at all times. There is innate comfort in this perfect confidence.

Replace Missing Tooth Roots

Unlike traditional dentures, hybrid implant-supported dentures replace the function of the tooth root. The metal implant post secures the false teeth in place and stimulates the jawbone. Hybrid dentures prevent the natural process of bone resorption in which the body breaks down bone tissue that is no longer being stimulated. As a result, your face will retain its natural shape over time.

Cleansable

Regularly cleaning your dentures keeps your mouth healthy and the prosthesis in good shape. But there’s no need to soak hybrid dentures overnight like with traditional dentures. Hybrid implant-supported dentures are cleaned similarly to your natural teeth. You simply need to brush them twice a day and water floss underneath them.

Esthetics

With your input and our experience and expertise, hybrids provide a full smile that lets you laugh and enjoy life the way you should. Increased self-esteem and confidence and the ability to feel ‘normal’ again are common outcomes. It is not uncommon for patients to tear up when they see the smile they either used to have or had always dreamed of.

Functionality

Hybrids restore almost all of your natural function. They permit patients to chew hard foods, full belly laugh without fear of losing them, and communicate with confidence. In short, they let you be you.
