Hybrid upper dentures: advantages and features
The smile is one of the first things we show when we meet someone. Having a beautiful smile is not only good for aesthetics, but also is a sign of good health. So, if you are looking at the different options you have, today we are going to talk about the upper hybrid prosthesis.
This treatment is suitable for patients who are searching for a fixed solution over dental implants. This type of prosthesis is screw-retained and remains fixed. It is important to highlight that it is the best solution if our teeth don’t look natural and there is a significant loss of bone and gum. Another important aspect is that the hybrid prostheses don’t have palate and are more comfortable to wear than other options, being the most aesthetically pleasing choice.
Materials used for upper hybrid prostheses
Upper hybrid prostheses are those that are placed in the upper jaw. Different types of materials are used to make them:
- pink resin, with different shades, to resemble the patient’s gum.
- The internal structure, which gives strength to the prosthesis, is made of metal, usually titanium.
- The teeth are made of white resin, acrylic, and as always, there are different types, shapes, colours, and quality.
- The titanium screws, the link between the dental implants and the hybrid prosthesis itself.
But how long does a hybrid prosthesis last? The most important thing when you use a hybrid prosthesis, just like any other type, is to go for a check-up with your dentist to make sure it is working properly.
It may vary from one person to another, as each case is different, but, in general, its durability is long. It is also essential to note that if you follow a good maintenance and care routine for your dentures, you will prolong their life.
Care and cleaning of the upper hybrid denture
Dental hygiene is a must with a hybrid denture. After every meal, it is essential to clean the entire area around the dental implants, with even more emphasis on cleaning just before going to sleep, as less saliva is produced during the night and this means that we do not have it’s protective effect, causing cavities or gum disease.
Consistency in cleaning is crucial, but so are the products used. A medium-hard brush and a specific paste for gum problems should be used, together with a dental irrigator. In this way, the prosthesis will be maintained with the best possible hygiene, extending its life.
