Have questions or need assistance? We’re here to help!
What Is Full Arch Reconstruction?
Full arch reconstruction is an advanced dental procedure that replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a custom prosthetic supported by multiple dental implants.
Unlike traditional dentures or generic implant systems, we use the Hybridge restoration system, a proven solution featuring a chrome cobalt substructure (twice as strong as titanium) paired with PMMA teeth milled from solid material.
This permanent solution improves oral health, chewing strength, and facial appearance, offering superior comfort and function that feels remarkably natural.
Why Choose Hybridge Over Other Full Arch Solutions?
Not all full arch restorations are created equal. While many practices offer generic “all-on-4” systems or zirconia restorations, we’ve chosen Hybridge for specific reasons that benefit our patients’ long-term health and comfort.
Precision Planning & Placement
The Hybridge system begins with optical scans of your existing teeth and bite relationship. We design your ideal tooth position first, then overlay this design onto your jawbone anatomy to find the optimal implant placement.
Using custom surgical guides, we precisely place implants exactly as designed in the lab, dramatically reducing placement errors compared to freehand techniques.
Superior Materials
The Hybridge prosthetic features a chrome cobalt substructure that's twice as strong as titanium, combined with PMMA teeth that provide a tooth-like feel during chewing.
This construction offers the perfect balance of strength, function, and natural sensation.
Optimal Load Distribution
Unlike all-on-4 systems where implants are simply angled wherever bone exists, Hybridge implants are strategically positioned to carry functional loads for maximum longevity and bone health.
While this may require additional grafting (especially in the upper arch), the result is implants designed to last your entire lifetime.
Hybridge vs. Zirconia: Understanding Your Options
Many practices heavily promote zirconia restorations, often with lifetime warranties. While zirconia is strong and relatively inexpensive to produce, there are important differences you should understand:
| Feature | Hybridge | Zirconia |
|---|---|---|
| Material Feel | Natural tooth-like give and flex during chewing | Hard, rigid—patients describe it as “chewing on marbles” |
| Sound While Eating | Quiet, natural | Audible clicking and banging of teeth together |
| Implant & Bone Health | Natural flex protects bone; cases show stable bone levels after 10+ years | Rigid material transfers all force directly to implants, often leading to increased bone loss over time |
| Size & Comfort | Anatomically correct sizing—chrome cobalt provides strength without bulk | Bulkier and heavier (gets strength from mass of material) |
| Maintenance | Clean at home with flossing and water pick—never needs removal | Must be removed every 1-2 years for professional cleaning (~$1,000 per visit) |
| Between Cleanings | Stay comfortable and fresh with daily home care | Can develop uncomfortable buildup and odor between professional cleanings |
| Longevity Plan | Teeth wear naturally after 10-15 years; refresh for cost of a crown while keeping original implants | Restoration may last longer, but doesn’t address implant health over time |
| Long-Term Investment | Implants designed to last your lifetime when properly maintained | Focus on restoration warranty, not implant longevity |
The Hybridge 10-15 Year Advantage
Here’s what makes Hybridge remarkable: your teeth will naturally wear after 10-15 years of function (just as natural teeth do). When this happens, we simply unscrew your prosthetic, send it to the lab where they strip it down to the original chrome substructure (which never fails), and build you a new set of teeth.
For roughly the cost of a single crown, you get a completely refreshed smile, and your implants, when properly maintained, have the best chance of lasting your entire lifetime.
We’ve successfully completed Hybridge restorations for patients as young as 20 and as old as 92. Imagine telling a 20-year-old that their implants could fail in 10 years versus explaining that the teeth will wear naturally, but we can replace them while the implants last a lifetime. That’s the Hybridge difference.

FAQs About Full Arch Restoration
Got questions about full arch restoration? We’ve got answers.
How does full arch restoration compare to dentures?
Full arch restorations provide a permanent, stable solution without adhesives or slipping. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported restorations preserve jawbone health, restore natural chewing function, and look and feel like real teeth. With Hybridge specifically, you get a restoration that never needs to be removed. You maintain it at home just like natural teeth.
What is the Hybridge system and why do you use it?
Hybridge is a full arch restoration system we’ve trusted for over 10 years. It features a chrome cobalt substructure (twice as strong as titanium) with PMMA teeth that provide natural feel and function. Unlike generic systems or zirconia, Hybridge is designed with precision planning and surgical guides for optimal implant placement, promoting long-term bone health. The Hybridge lab has been around for 10 years, founded by practicing dentists, and our decade-long experience with this system has shown exceptional results.
What is the recovery time after implant placement?
Most patients resume daily activities within a few days. Full healing takes about 3-6 months as the implants integrate with the jawbone, ensuring long-term stability. You’ll have temporary teeth that allow for normal function during this period.
Will I need a temporary set of teeth?
Yes, a custom temporary restoration is placed the same day as your implant procedure. This allows you to eat, speak, and smile while your implants heal and your final set of teeth is prepared.
How long do Hybridge restorations last?
With proper care, your implants have the best chance of lasting your entire lifetime. The teeth themselves will naturally wear after 10-15 years of function (similar to how natural teeth wear). When this happens, we simply unscrew your prosthetic, send it to the lab where they strip the materials down to the chrome substructure (which never fails), and build you a new set of teeth. For approximately the cost of a crown, you get a refreshed smile without replacing the implants.
How do I maintain my Hybridge restoration?
Hybridge is designed to be permanent. It never needs to be removed for cleaning. You maintain it at home by flossing and using a water pick to keep the prosthetic clean and your gums healthy. Regular dental check-ups ensure everything stays comfortable and functional. This is very different from zirconia restorations that require removal every 1-2 years at additional cost.
Why is Hybridge better for my bone health than zirconia?
Because Hybridge has natural flex in the teeth (unlike rigid zirconia), chewing forces are better distributed, protecting the implant-bone relationship. We have cases over 10 years old where bone levels remain stable and gum tissue stays healthy. With zirconia’s rigidity, we often see more bone loss over time due to the direct force transfer to implants.
Will my restoration feel natural when eating?
Yes. Hybridge’s PMMA teeth provide a tooth-like feel when chewing, not the hard, marble-like sensation that zirconia patients often report. The material has appropriate give, making eating comfortable and natural without the audible clicking or banging associated with ceramic materials.
Are full arch restorations covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by provider. Some dental and medical insurance plans offer partial coverage. We provide flexible financing options and assist in verifying insurance benefits to make treatment accessible. Our costs are competitive with other practices in the Henderson area, and we offer discounts for patients who pay upfront.
Am I too young or too old for this procedure?
We’ve successfully completed Hybridge restorations for patients as young as 20 and as old as 92. For younger patients especially, the ability to replace worn teeth after 10-15 years without replacing implants means your implants can truly last a lifetime with proper care.

I met with Dr. Patel for the first time, also and he was very professional. The staff here is always very friendly and accommodating.
I live in Arizona, but I travel to Nevada to see my dentist at Comprehensive Dental. Dr. Le is the best dentist I’ve ever been to or witnessed. She is kind and patient and top-notch at what she does.
