Implant-supported Hybrid Dentures in Singapore

Having done this over the course of many years, our patients do not report much discomfort or pain after the procedure. The usual response is that it is a little tender or “raw” on the day of surgery but by the day after our patients are fine, may resume activities and do not need pain relief any more

The All on 4 protocol was specifically designed for patients who have very little or thin bone in either jaw. Such levels of bone which prevents the ideal placement for 4 or 6 implants.Hence, the All on 4 protocol relies on angulating the implants to engage as much bone as possible while avoiding:

1. Interfering with the maxillary sinus (in the upper jaw) or
2. Interfering with the mandibular nerve (in the lower jaw)

After a consultation with one of our experienced surgeons, we will be able to advise you on the bone levels you have and whether or not anatomical structures like the maxillary sinus or the mandibular nerve will prevent ideal placement of 4 to 6 implants.If this is the case with you, then the All on 4 protocol of angulating the implants will be a better solution.However, if you do have sufficient bone and anatomical structures do not present a challenge, then Implant supported hybrid dentures will be an optimal solution for you.

Granted most of our patients prefer a fixed set of teeth. However, a removable one is an option. Some patients like the idea of being able to remove their own set of teeth for cleaning etc. Even the removable set in anchored or “clicked” into the 4 or 6 implants in your jaw, so it does not move at all. It is not like a conventional denture which moves a lot. An implant supported fixed denture cannot be removed by you, it is fixed in your mouth. An implant supported removal denture “clicks” unto the implants which makes it very comfortable for chewing, speaking and function. It also allows you to remove the set of teeth to clean underneath if you wish.

A hybrid denture is a dental implant created to enhance the stability and durability of your dentures. Similar to dentures that can be taken out, hybrids rest on the surface of the teeth and gums. Nevertheless, they are fastened with screws onto the dental implant and cannot be detached without the assistance of an implant dentist.

An oral appliance supported by implants replaces multiple teeth simultaneously. It bears a resemblance to a conventional denture. However, instead of sitting on your gums, a denture supported by implants connects directly to your jawbone through dental implants.

Hybrid dentures are perfect for individuals looking for a long-lasting, extremely secure option that delivers the top aesthetic and functional outcomes. Overdentures provide an excellent choice for individuals who opt for a removable option that provides better stability and comfort compared to conventional dentures.

With appropriate maintenance, overdentures supported by hybrid dental implants have the potential to be long-lasting, unlike conventional removable dentures that need to be replaced every five to seven years.

Zirconia implants are commonly chosen for implant-supported dentures due to their stability, strength, and minimal chance of negative reactions.

It is important to clean your implant dentures regularly by rinsing underneath and brushing the attached plate and artificial teeth with a recommended polish and denture brush, even if you can sleep with them. Regularly cleaning your prosthetic can help prevent gum disease and implant failure.

Implant-supported dentures offer a superior quality of life in comparison to traditional dentures. They are the top choice for completely restoring the function and look of real teeth. Yet, there are several factors that could lead someone to opt for the conventional choice instead.

The implant-denture is supported by and rests on the gum, requiring only 4-5 implants instead of 7-10 like an implant bridge.

Hybrid dentures leave the roof of the mouth exposed, allowing the roof of the mouth and gums to feel natural and unaffected. Gum irritation is reduced by not relying on the gums to secure the denture. Furthermore, there will be no need to be concerned about dentures moving around and there will also be an improvement in bite force.

You can still clean them without having to purchase a sonic cleaner or Efferdent. Hybrid fixed dentures should be cleaned with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, just like natural teeth.

China, Dentures made from porcelain are more durable due to porcelain’s superior strength compared to acrylic.
