Implant Bridge Dentures:
The chewing power of natural teeth

Enjoy the Natural Look The permanent hybrid bridge pictured above replaces teeth and gums for a more natural look. In comparison, the old style bridge gives you the unnatural "long tooth" look and reveals to the world that they are not your natural teeth.

The Ultimate All Teeth Replacement

The ultimate all teeth rehabilitation is the screw down implant bridge or better known as the hybrid bridge. The term hybrid bridge is used because when a person is missing all their teeth for a long time the jaw bone and gums shrink. The bridge not only must replace the missing teeth but also the lost bone and gums. (See the image on the right.)

• The bridge/denture is permanently attached to the implants.
• There is no need for removal.
• The chewing power is similar to your natural teeth.
• The cost is considerably more than the other two solutions
• There must be adequate bone

The Chewing Power of Natural Teeth

This type of tooth replacement does not rest on the gums as does the snap down denture. It is a significant benefit because this eliminates the problems associated with the occasional sores that can develop under a denture which rests on the gums. Moreover, the chewing power is much greater than a denture. It is equal to the chewing power of natural teeth.
