"All-on-x" Dentures
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implant-Supported Fixed-Detachable Prostheses & Hybrid Dentures
All-on-4 and all-on-6 implant-supported fixed-detachable prostheses and hybrid dentures provide patients with a full-arch restoration retained by strategically placed dental implants. This method uses four to six implants positioned according to available bone, restorative space, AP spread, angulation requirements, and prosthetic design goals to support primary stability, load distribution, and emergence profile. The screw-retained superstructure accommodates a milled or cast framework — available in chrome-cobalt or titanium bar configurations — with T-base or multi-unit abutment connection options for screw-retained seating, depending on the implant system and restorative workflow. A titanium verification jig is recommended at the try-in appointment to confirm passive fit of the bar framework before final prosthesis delivery. The gingival aspect can be finished with aesthetic gingival shading or pink porcelain to replicate natural soft-tissue contours and conceal the metal substructure in the esthetic zone.
Hybrid Zirconia Bridges & Dentures
Screw-retained zirconia prostheses with multiple connection options. Hybrid zirconia bridges and dentures are fabricated using high-strength monolithic or layered zirconia, contributing to optimal esthetics, translucency, and fracture resistance. Clinical connection types include:
T-Base / multi-unit abutment connection: Implant-level or abutment-level titanium base for screw-retained seating, depending on implant system and restorative workflow
Chrome-cobalt bar: Cast metal substructure for multi-implant splinting
Titanium bar: Milled titanium framework with optimized strength-to-weight ratio
Definitive restoration teeth can be fabricated using FCZ, PFZ, high-translucent zirconia, PFM, or pressed glass ceramics depending on esthetic demand and occlusal requirements. Staining and chipping are drastically reduced with the monolithic zirconia option.
Hybrid Acrylic Dentures
Hybrid acrylic dentures are screw-retained implant-supported prostheses that use traditional acrylic denture material for the gingival base and pre-formed or milled denture teeth for the occlusal surface. Each prosthesis is individually designed by an experienced master technician to optimize tooth position, occlusal scheme, and phonetic contours. Hybrid acrylic dentures remain a preferred full-arch restorative option for cases requiring case planning flexibility, repairability, and delivery within shorter clinical timelines. Next Dental Lab's hybrid acrylic dentures offer a natural feel and function compared to removable overdentures, with the stability of implant retention. For practices submitting a digital case, our team supports streamlined full-arch restorative workflows.
