For patients who need to replace a full arch of teeth, hybrid dentures are the closest thing to a natural smile that modern dentistry can offer. Fixed directly to the jaw via dental implants, they look, feel, and function in a way that traditional dentures simply cannot replicate. At Elevated Dentistry, Dr. Bottorff has mastered the restorative side of hybrid dentures— crafting results that are not only functional, but genuinely beautiful.
What Are Hybrid Dentures?
Hybrid dentures, commonly referred to as “All on 4” or “All on X,” are a full-arch restoration anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, they are not removable, do not shift, and do not require adhesives. They are designed to be a long-term, fixed solution that preserves the jawbone, supports facial structure, and restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
The Art of the Restoration
At Elevated Dentistry, Dr. Bottorff focuses on the restorative phase— the design, fit, and final result that you see and feel every day. This is where artistry and technology meet. Every hybrid denture is custom-crafted to complement your facial features, skin tone, and natural proportions. The goal is never a smile that looks like dentures— it's a smile that looks like yours.
Patients are often surprised by how natural the result feels. There's no bulk, no movement, no awareness that something is “in” your mouth. Just teeth that work the way teeth are supposed to work— including the ability to eat the foods you love without restriction.

What to Expect
Surgical Phase
Implant placement is performed by an experienced oral surgeon that we work closely with. Working with a trusted partner is paramount to the success of hybrid dentures. The number and position of implants are determined based on your bone density and anatomy, with the goal of providing the most stable foundation possible for your final restoration.
Restorative Phase
Once your implants have integrated and healed, Dr. Bottorff takes over. Using precise digital impressions and meticulous attention to detail, he designs and places your final restoration— ensuring a fit, function, and aesthetic result that meets the high standard Elevated Dentistry is known for.
