Hybrid Implants
Hybrid implants are used to replace several or all of your missing teeth by placing posts into the jawbone to create a sturdy restoration.
Overview
Hybrid implants are utilized to replace many lost teeth for both cosmetic reasons and for overall functionality. They’re titanium posts, which are surgically inserted in the top and bottom arches of the mouth. Hybrid implants are attached to the jawbone and may subsequently be connected to crowns or dentures. Brian Wong D.D.S. P.A. (formerly Stonebriar Dental) in Frisco, TX, directed by Dr. Brian Wong, offers customized hybrid implants to recreate patients’ gorgeous smiles. Made from top-of-the-line, durable materials for a comfortable fit, hybrid implants look like real teeth and last five or more years.
Best Candidates
The best candidates for the hybrid implant procedure are any man or woman that is missing quite a few or all of their teeth. Tooth loss might be caused by a trauma, decay, or genetic disorder. Hybrid implants might also be a great alternative for those who want a long-term answer for the replacement of their missing teeth. You should also have mostly healthy gums and normal bone surface so the implants can be properly integrated. Before recommending any dental procedure, one of our board-certified dentists will assess your oral health to ascertain whether hybrid implants are the best solution.
What to Expect
Prior to beginning your procedure, your dentist will obtain CT scans, digital x-rays, or impressions to assess for the placement of your implants. Hybrid dental implants are typically surgically inserted while you are under general anesthesia. Once they’re anchored into the top and bottom jawbone, your dentist could attach dentures or a temporary crown to the structure, while your permanent structures are being created. This will also help to ensure that the implants have enough time to incorporate into the jaw. Once the hybrids are fully integrated, your dentist will secure the permanent fixtures.
Follow-Up
A follow-up appointment could be recommended a couple of weeks after the addition of your permanent crowns or dentures to be able to check the comfort and fit. Your implants must be taken care of in exactly the same manner as your original teeth. It is imperative that you continue to undergo standard dental examinations and checkups. When cared for responsibly, hybrid implants may last around ten years.
Insurance Coverage
The cost of your dental treatment will be based on your insurance carrier and your current benefits. Before your treatment, our staff will contact your insurance provider to figure out your potential out-of-pocket expenses. Brian Wong D.D.S. P.A. also accepts medical financing to help make your dental procedures more reasonable.
