Dr. Michael Kim of Alta Loma Dental Care Implements Hybrid Dentures in Alta Loma, CA

If you’ve lost most of your teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease, then regular removable dentures are not the only quick fix. When there is a lot of bone loss in your jaws and you would like teeth that aren’t removable, then hybrid dentures are the best solution. At Alta Loma Dental Care, Dr. Michael Kim and his team work together to ensure that every one of their patients have access to the most state-of-the-art procedures in dentistry and with hybrid dentures, your smile can be one-of-a-kind.

Regular dentures that don’t replace any of the gum tissue, may often give teeth the appearance of being too large for your mouth. A hybrid denture solves this problem by replacing the gum tissue with pink acrylic between the teeth to allow the teeth to be of normal size and appearance. Hybrid dentures, also called fixed-detachable dentures are a way to replace missing teeth and gum tissue with a prosthetic attached to dental implants. A hybrid denture requires placing four or more implants in the jaw, depending on the jawbone size and shape. After the implants heal, they are connected to abutments (connectors) which can be screwed into a metal framework. The hybrid denture is fixed and does not require everyday removal like regular dentures because it is screwed into the implants.

If you have missing teeth, schedule a consultation to see if hybrid dentures are right for you.
