Dental Implant Options

All-on-4 vs. Hybridge: What’s the difference?

When comparing full-arch dental implant options, the number of implants matters, but it is not the only thing to consider. Both options are designed for people with missing, failing, or no-longer-predictable teeth who are considering a fixed, long-term solution

What's the All-on-4 Technique?

  • Typically uses 4 implants to support a full-arch of  replacement teeth on the upper or lower jaw.
  • While effective in certain cases, this approach places a  significant load on a limited number of implants.
  • If one implant fails, the full-arch may be compromised  because a full-arch needs the support of at least 4 implants.
  • Treatment details can vary by provider, lab, materials used,  and planning process.

What's the Hybridge Full-Arch System?

  • Hybridge Full-Arch dental implants support a full-arch of  teeth on the upper or lower jaw with 5 to 6 implants.
  • Added implant support helps distribute biting forces more  evenly, creating a more stable foundation.
  • The treatment process is guided by prognosis evaluation and  treatment planning.
  • Combines implant support, restoration design, lab coordination,  and long-term function into one coordinated approach.
