What Are Hybrid Dentures and Fixed-Detachable Prostheses?
Fixed-detachable prostheses, commonly referred to as hybrid dentures, are secured to a minimum of four implants placed within the jaw. Unlike removable dentures, which can cause friction against gum tissue, hybrid dentures function considerably more like natural teeth, allowing patients access to a broader variety of foods.
Taking Care of Your Fixed-Detachable Prosthesis
Cleaning hybrid dentures requires a different approach than caring for either traditional removable dentures or natural teeth, since hybrid dentures remain fixed in place. Keeping the gums and underlying jaw bone healthy depends on thorough cleaning both beneath and around the denture structure, in addition to cleaning the prosthetic teeth themselves. Periodic professional appointments are also recommended, during which the dentures can be removed to allow for a more thorough cleaning than is possible at home.

If you are tired of wearing traditional dentures and have always wanted fixed teeth, you could be a good candidate for a set of hybrid fixed-detachable dentures. Call 856-424-7477 or email us to schedule an appointment so that Dr. Donn can get you on track to having the confident smile you deserve.
