The story
behind Hybridge

Hybridge was founded on decades of clinical experience, innovation, and a shared commitment to helping patients feel more certain about what comes next.

Our Foundation of Patient-Centered Care

Dr. Frank LaMar Sr. was an early pioneer in dental implants, learning directly from the minds who brought this revolutionary treatment to modern dentistry. In 1977, he opened Elmwood Family Dental in Rochester, NY.

His dedication to innovation, patient comfort, and comprehensive care laid the foundation for what would eventually become Hybridge.

This foundation continues to guide our approach today.

2007

Hybridge Takes Shape

After years of refining their implant and full-arch treatment protocol, the LaMars recognized an opportunity to help more patients benefit from their structured approach to tooth replacement. In 2007, that vision became Hybridge, a system designed to simplify complex dental restoration while delivering predictable, long-term outcomes.

A Dedicated Full-Arch Laboratory Expands Possibilities

In 2008, Hybridge established a laboratory focused exclusively on full-arch implant restorations.

This level of coordination ensures each stage of treatment is planned for precision, consistency, and long-term durability.

2009

Teaching the Hybridge Approach Nationwide

As patient outcomes continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Hybridge protocol, dental implant experts from across the country began seeking training in our proprietary Hybridge Full-Arch system.

We have formally trained hundreds of doctors on our clinical process, expanding access to our structured approach to dental restoration for patients nationwide.

Innovation That Improved Efficiency and Access

The LaMars continued refining the Hybridge protocol to improve efficiency and establish a new standard for the highest level of care.

In 2017, Hybridge secured a patent for Hybridge Express Digital (XD), a process that helps deliver comprehensive full-mouth dental restoration in weeks rather than months.

Advanced Surgical Precision, The New Standard Of Care

In 2022, Hybridge introduced Hybridge eXact XD, a fully guided surgical system designed to improve surgical safety, precision, and consistency in full-arch implant treatment while supporting predictable, long-term patient outcomes.

We consider this approach to be the highest standard of care in dental implant surgery.
