Hybrid Dental Prosthesis

A hybrid denture is a type of denture used to replace missing teeth in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional dentures, hybrid dentures have a special design that does not cover part or all of the palate. This provides a more natural appearance and comfort.

Hybrid dentures are usually fixed with implant-supported dentures or adhesives. With implant-supported dentures, titanium implants are placed in the jawbone and the dentures are attached to these implants. In this way, the dentures are held more securely in the mouth and the chewing function is performed more effectively.

Hybrid dentures have several advantages. We can list these advantages as follows,
