What Makes Hybridge Different?
Hybridge is a state-of-the-art full arch dental implant system that permanently replaces all teeth on the upper or lower jaw with a custom-engineered prosthetic supported by strategically placed dental implants.
But here’s what truly sets Hybridge apart: while many practices offer generic implant solutions or quick-fix approaches, Hybridge is built on precision planning, superior materials, and a commitment to long-term implant and bone health.
Chrome Cobalt Substructure
At the heart of every Hybridge restoration is a chrome cobalt framework that's twice as strong as titanium.
This isn't just about strength. It's about creating a restoration that can be refreshed for decades without replacing your implants.
PMMA Teeth
Unlike zirconia or traditional denture teeth, Hybridge uses precision-milled PMMA teeth from solid material.
These teeth have natural give and flex, providing a tooth-like feel when chewing. You won't experience the hard, marble-like sensation that zirconia patients often describe.
Designed by Dentists, for Dentists
The Hybridge lab was founded 10 years ago by a prosthodontist and his brother, both practicing dentists who understood the need for a better full arch solution.
This clinical foundation means every aspect of the system is designed with real-world function and longevity in mind.
Why We Choose Hybridge Over All Other Systems
After 10 years and hundreds of cases, we’ve seen firsthand why Hybridge outperforms every other full arch option on the market.
Hybridge vs. Generic "All-on-4" Systems
| Feature | Hybridge | Generic All-on-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Planning Approach | Design ideal tooth position first, then place implants optimally to support that design | Angle implants wherever bone exists, then adapt tooth position to implant placement |
| Implant Positioning | Strategic placement to carry functional loads for longevity | Angled placement based on available bone |
| Surgical Accuracy | Custom surgical guides for precise placement as designed | Often freehand placement or basic guides |
| Multi-Unit Abutments | Minimal use; implants positioned correctly from the start | Heavy reliance on abutments to redirect and straighten angled implants |
| Bone Grafting | Performed when needed to achieve optimal implant position (especially upper arch) | Avoided to minimize cost and time; work with existing bone |
| Long-Term Focus | Implants positioned for lifetime durability | Focus on getting implants placed quickly |
Hybridge vs. Zirconia: The Critical Differences
While many practices heavily promote zirconia restorations (often with lifetime warranties), there are important health and comfort considerations:
| Consideration | Hybridge (Chrome Cobalt + PMMA) | Zirconia |
|---|---|---|
| Material Hardness | Natural tooth-like flex and give | Extremely rigid (ceramic/glass-like) |
| Chewing Experience | Comfortable, natural feel | Patients describe "chewing on marbles," audible clicking |
| Bone Health Over Time | Flex protects implant-bone relationship; 10+ year cases show stable bone levels | Rigid material transfers all force to implants, often leading to increased bone loss |
| Bulkiness | Anatomically correct sizing (strength from chrome cobalt) | Bulkier and heavier (derives strength from mass) |
| Maintenance | Clean at home with flossing and water pick; never removed | Requires removal every 1-2 years (~$1,000 per visit) |
| Between Cleanings | Stay fresh with daily home care | Can develop uncomfortable buildup and odor |
| Manufacturer Warranty Focus | Restoration AND implant longevity | Restoration warranty (doesn't address implant health) |
| Cost to Refresh | ~Cost of a crown after 10-15 years | Replacement may be covered by warranty, but implant health not guaranteed |
The Hybridge Advantage: Built to Last a Lifetime
Your Teeth Will Wear. Your Implants Won’t Fail.
Here’s the brilliant design philosophy behind Hybridge: natural teeth wear over time, and so will your Hybridge teeth. After 10-15 years of normal function, you’ll notice some wear (just as you would with natural teeth).
Here’s where Hybridge becomes exceptional:
When your teeth show wear, we simply unscrew your prosthetic and send it back to the Hybridge lab. They strip the materials down to the original chrome cobalt substructure (which we’ve never seen fail), and build you a completely new set of teeth using your original design.
For approximately the cost of a single crown, you get a refreshed, brand-new smile while your original implants continue serving you for life.
Compare this to other systems where implant failure may require complete replacement, or zirconia systems where the hard material may have already compromised your bone health.
Real-World Evidence: 10+ Years of Success
We have Hybridge cases that are over 10 years old. When we examine these long-term patients, the bone levels around their implants remain unchanged and the gum tissue stays healthy (with proper home care, of course).
This isn’t marketing. This is what we see clinically, year after year, in patients who chose Hybridge.

Are You a Candidate for Hybridge?
Hybridge is ideal for patients who:
- Have multiple missing or failing teeth in one or both arches
- Are frustrated with traditional dentures or temporary solutions
- Want a restoration that prioritizes long-term bone and implant health
- Value natural comfort and function during eating and speaking
- Need a faster, more predictable path to full mouth restoration
- Want to avoid the maintenance hassles of removable or zirconia restorations
- Are looking for a solution that can last their entire lifetime
- Desire a restoration that never needs to be removed for cleaning
Age is rarely a barrier. We’ve successfully completed Hybridge restorations for patients as young as 20 and as old as 92.
For a 20-year-old, imagine having implants that can last 70+ years with proper care, with only the teeth needing refresh every 10-15 years.
For a 92-year-old, imagine the confidence of a stable, comfortable restoration that will serve them for the rest of their life.
The Hybridge Process: Precision From Start to Finish
Comprehensive Free Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough, no-rush consultation where we spend as much time as needed to understand your situation. We'll discuss your goals, evaluate each remaining tooth, and present all your options. About 50% of our patients have consulted elsewhere first and consistently tell us they received more education and clarity here than anywhere else.
Advanced Digital Planning
Initial Records & Optical Scanning
We capture detailed optical scans of your existing teeth and analyze your bite relationship. We discuss what you want your smile to look like and how you want to function.
Lab-Based Design
Your scans go to the Hybridge lab where they design your ideal tooth position first. This is critical: we determine where your teeth should be for optimal function and aesthetics BEFORE deciding where to place implants.
3D Implant Planning
Once we know where your teeth should be, we overlay that design onto your jawbone anatomy (via CBCT scan). This allows us to find the optimal position to place implants in the bone as it relates to tooth position and function.
Unlike all-on-4 systems where implants are simply angled into available bone and then corrected with multi-unit abutments, Hybridge implants are positioned from the start to carry the load properly for longevity and health.
Custom Surgical Guide Fabrication
Based on the precise digital plan, we fabricate custom surgical guides that fit in your mouth during surgery. These guides allow us to place implants exactly as designed in the lab, dramatically reducing the potential for placement errors that can occur with freehand techniques.
Guided Implant Placement
On surgery day, we use your custom guides to place implants with precision. When necessary (especially in the upper arch), we perform bone grafting to ensure implants are positioned optimally, not just placed wherever bone happens to exist.
You receive temporary teeth the same day. You'll never be without a smile.Healing and Integration (3-6 Months)
Your implants integrate with your jawbone while you function normally with temporary teeth. This osseointegration period is essential for long-term stability.
Final Hybridge Restoration
Your custom Gen 4 Hybridge prosthetic (98% of cases use this premium option) is delivered. Featuring your chrome cobalt substructure and precision-milled PMMA teeth, it's designed for decades of comfortable, natural function.

FAQs About Hybridge Full Arch Restorations
Got questions about hybridge restoration? We’ve got answers.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for Hybridge?
If you have multiple failing or missing teeth, or if you struggle with dentures, you may be a good candidate. During your free consultation, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation including digital scans and clinical exam to confirm you have adequate bone support and overall oral health for Hybridge implants. If grafting is needed, we’ll discuss that as part of your comprehensive plan.
Why do you exclusively use Hybridge instead of other systems?
After 10 years and hundreds of cases, we’ve seen the superior long-term results that Hybridge provides. The combination of precision planning, surgical guides, superior materials (chrome cobalt and PMMA), and focus on implant-bone health makes Hybridge the gold standard. We have patients with 10+ year old Hybridge restorations showing stable bone levels and healthy gum tissue—that’s the kind of long-term success we want for every patient.
What's the difference between Hybridge and the zirconia restorations I see advertised?
The main differences are in material properties and long-term health outcomes. Zirconia is extremely hard and rigid, which can lead to uncomfortable chewing (patients describe it as feeling like marbles) and increased bone loss over time due to direct force transfer to implants. Zirconia also requires removal every 1-2 years for cleaning (~$1,000 per visit), and becomes bulkier to achieve strength. Hybridge’s chrome cobalt and PMMA construction provides natural flex that protects bone health, feels comfortable during chewing, and never needs removal—you maintain it at home like natural teeth.
Is the Hybridge procedure painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort, similar to other dental implant procedures. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure you remain comfortable. Any post-procedure soreness typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long do Hybridge restorations last?
Your implants, when properly positioned using the Hybridge system and maintained with good home care, have the best chance of lasting your entire lifetime. The teeth themselves will naturally wear after 10-15 years of function (similar to natural teeth). At that point, we refresh your restoration for approximately the cost of a crown—you get new teeth while keeping your original implants.
Will I have to go without teeth during the process?
Absolutely not. You receive a custom temporary restoration the same day as your implant surgery. You’ll never be without your smile, and you can eat, speak, and function normally while your implants heal.
How do I care for my Hybridge restoration?
Hybridge is designed to be permanent and never needs removal. You care for it at home by brushing daily and flossing or water-flossing around the implants to keep your gums healthy. Regular dental checkups (typically 2-4 times per year) allow us to monitor your implant stability and overall oral health. This is dramatically easier than zirconia systems that require professional removal for cleaning.
What is the recovery time after implant placement?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. You’ll have some dietary restrictions during the first week (soft foods), but you can function normally with your temporary teeth. The implants then integrate with your jawbone over 3-6 months, creating the secure foundation for your final restoration.
Why does Hybridge sometimes require bone grafting when other systems don't?
This is actually one of Hybridge’s advantages. We don’t just place implants wherever bone exists (like all-on-4 systems often do). We place implants where they need to be for optimal long-term load distribution and bone health. If that requires bone grafting, especially in the upper arch, we do it—because the goal is implants that last your lifetime, not just implants that are quick to place.
What makes Dr. Hendrickson qualified to place Hybridge restorations?
Dr. Hendrickson is not only a certified Hybridge provider but also a national Hybridge trainer, teaching other dentists how to achieve optimal results with this system. With over 10 years of exclusive Hybridge experience and hundreds of cases completed, he brings a level of expertise that most providers simply don’t have. This means better planning, more precise execution, and superior long-term outcomes.
How much does Hybridge cost compared to other options?
While we discuss specific costs during your free consultation (since every case is unique), Hybridge represents exceptional long-term value. When you consider that your implants can last a lifetime, you never pay for removal/cleaning appointments, and you can refresh your teeth for the cost of a crown after 10-15 years, the lifetime cost of Hybridge is often lower than systems that seem cheaper initially but require ongoing maintenance or earlier replacement. We offer flexible financing options and work with your insurance to maximize any available benefits.
