What Is a Hybrid Denture?

In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann explains what hybrid dentures are and how they provide a fixed, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Patients in Kaysville and Greater Salt Lake City, UT, are invited to book a free consultation to explore their options.

Many patients who wear traditional dentures express frustration with the flanges—the parts of the denture that extend into the gums. These flanges can often cause discomfort, sore spots, and irritation.

For these cases, we recommend a hybrid denture. A hybrid denture eliminates the extended acrylic flanges, making it far more comfortable to wear. It is also more aesthetically pleasing, as it does not cover as much of the gums. This design is particularly appealing to patients seeking both comfort and improved appearance.

Hybrid dentures are securely anchored using six to eight implants, ensuring a firm fit that prevents movement. This stability allows you to chew, speak, and function normally without the common issues associated with traditional dentures. With a hybrid denture, you can enjoy a secure, comfortable, and natural-looking restoration.
