Replace Missing Teeth At Mountain Shadows Family Dentistry

What Are Hybrid Dentures And Fixed-Detachable Prostheses?

Hybrid dentures, or fixed-detachable prostheses, are dentures that attach to four or more implants in the jaw. They do not rub against the gums like removable dentures can, and they work much more like natural teeth, opening up a wider range of food possibilities to the patient.

Taking Care Of Your Fixed-Detachable Prosthesis

Because hybrid dentures are not removable, the cleaning process is different than with traditional dentures, and it’s also a little different from cleaning natural teeth. In order to maintain healthy gums and jaw bone, it is critical to clean under and around the dentures as well as cleaning the actual teeth. We also recommend that you come in to Mountain Shadows Family Dentistry on a regular basis so that we can remove them for professional cleaning.

Am I A Candidate For A Hybrid Prothesis?

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 719-598-3502 or email us to schedule an appointment so that Dr. Holsteen can get you on track to having the confident smile you deserve.

I've been seeing Dr. Holsteen since 1992! The staff is wonderful! They are friendly and they talk to you! They are not robots! (Not to mention they play my favorite oldies station on Pandora when I go in!) I love these professionals because they make you feel at home!
