With three treatment objectives, Jennifer had three main objectives
Just weeks after her Hybridge treatment began, Jennifer receives her permanent upper and lower Hybridge teeth mounted on dental implants, and she can now eat the foods she enjoys and smile confidently. Best of all, her teeth are permanent and with that comes the confidence she had hoped for.
A person with complex dental issues often stops experiencing life by becoming reclusive, and separates themselves from life experiences. Since life is filled with many special moments, with joy, laughter, and time with family and friends, Dr. Hansen is dedicated to transforming your smile and your life so you can get out and enjoy life as it’s meant to be lived.
Eric got a denture over 8 years ago that he never wore because it fit so poorly. “I had a denture that wouldn’t ever stay in place. My bottom teeth were starting to fall out. I really want to go back to eating the food I like, but can’t anymore”, Eric said when he came to Dr. Clay Hansen’s office.
Eric was most looking forward to eating the foods he likes (steak, nuts, and turkey). He also was looking forward to being able to eat without choking on pieces of food that were too big to swallow whole. We were able to get him upper and lower teeth that stay in all the time using the Hybridge® system. Now he eats corn on the cob, steak, nuts, and all of his favorite foods. He loves that he can eat again and that they never come out, improving his lifestyle.
Joe wanted fixed implant dentures so he could eat the foods he enjoys and smile without feeling embarrassed. After dealing with painful and broken teeth for nearly twenty years, he started looking for a place where he could get his teeth restored near his home in Coeur d’Alene. He found Dr. Hansen’s office online and after visiting other local dentists, decided it was worth the nearly 100-mile trip to see Dr. Hansen. He’s so glad to have found Dr. Hansen’s office because of the great experience he had with Dr. Hansen and his team. Also, the treatment plan got him done months before other doctors, with a cost significantly less. Joe was even able to eat chicken strips on his way home from getting his new teeth!
Tara had broken, painful teeth for several years before she met us. Eating was painful and she simply could not eat most foods. She has been embarrassed of smiling for years. She’d been suffering for long enough that her youngest daughter really had no experience with seeing her mom smile. With Hybridge®, Tara was able to smile again. “It’s awesome. I cannot thank you enough, truly. My daughter keeps smiling at me so I will smile back. I love it!” –Tara
Savannah of Coeur d’Alene made the drive to Dr. Hansen’s office in Moscow and she’s so glad she did. She was in constant pain due to her failing teeth, and was on a liquid diet which she not only hated, but felt she was starving to death slowly. Now she’s eating better than she has in years and has the confidence to smile again and talk without covering her mouth.
“I was on a liquid diet and I felt like I was wasting away having these problems with my teeth. Life was hell. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t do anything without always being in pain. With Dr. Hansen, the process to get Hybridge® teeth was better than I thought it could be. Now I can eat again!” –Savannah
Steve was embarrassed about his smile and knew that his poor oral health was affecting not only his confidence, but his overall health. His goal was to have a mouthful of beautiful, healthy teeth to replace his worn, damaged teeth which would allow him to eat what he wants, look amazing, and help improve his health. He also didn’t want teeth that came in and out, so with the help of Dr. Clay Hansen, he discovered that Hybridge® was the perfect choice for him. Steve loves his new smile!
“I don’t think we sat at the dinner table with my kids and family for over a year. I started looking into the implant solution. It’s an investment. I wanted the something that would be the best quality, and for them to last for life. Thanks to my doctor, I can eat whatever I want. They literally changed my life.” –Kristin
“Now that I have my teeth, I’m everywhere. I feel really good being out there. Thanks to my Hybridge® doctor, I can eat anything I want. There are so many things that I didn’t realize I was missing and I feel so much better health-wise now that I can eat. I mean, they literally changed my life.” –Kristin
“I was brushing my teeth on a Saturday morning and my tooth fell out into the sink. I was devastated. I knew back then that something needed to be done. The Hybridge doctor set it all up for me in a plan along with a time-frame we were going to get this completed in. As soon as I left the office with my new teeth, I told my wife to stop and we got a burger. I’m so grateful this has been done to me. Now I can smile with all the confidence in the world.” –Tom
Over several decades, Tom had teeth break and had to have them pulled one at a time. The before photo shows his situation when Dr. Hansen met him. Tom did Hybridge® when he was 91-years old because he wanted to feel and look young again, eat what he wants, smile, and laugh again without feeling embarrassed of his teeth.

“My teeth hurt all the time before my restoration with Dr. Hansen. I’m a retired chef and I was losing weight and not able to eat the foods I love. With Hybridge®, I was able to end the cycle of tooth failure, costly procedures, discomfort, loss-of-function, and embarrassment. I feel so much better and won’t be embarrassed to talk anymore. My Hybridge® teeth feel stronger and less bulky than my old denture did.” –Scott
Trish has worn a denture for a couple of decades and it was time to get a new one using the latest technology, in addition to a lower partial. Thanks to Dr. Hansen, she is looking forward to being able to chew for the first time in years and feels amazing.
“I’m so excited about how great my smile is! This is what my teeth looked like in my 20s, and it’s amazing how comfortable they feel compared with what I used to have. Thanks, Dr. Hansen.”–Trish

“I studied this office for quite a while and wanted a dentist who could do the implants and everything. I had missing teeth, and my mouth was just not comfortable. I had severe sinus problems. Dr. Hansen and his team got me through the process, and they encouraged me.” –Mary
For patients with severe tooth loss, Dr. Hansen recommends implant supported dentures. Four or more implants hold the custom-designed full-arch prosthesis in place permanently. Resting firmly against the entire gum line, these dentures provide an unparalleled fit and look. Patients will often experience a boost in confidence after they get their implant dentures, and feel and look young again!

A dental implant is an appliance used to replace the roots of teeth. The implant is surgically attached to the jaw bone and an artificial tooth is attached to the top of the implant, creating a natural looking, undetectable replacement for the missing tooth.
Dental implants with artificial teeth are the closest thing to regrowing your natural teeth. They are strong, stable, durable and virtually undetectable. By filling gaps left by missing teeth, implants can provide better chewing ability and head off jaw joint problems.
Dr. Hansen has taken many courses in placing and restoring dental implants, creating traditional dentures, cosmetic dentures, full-mouth restorations, fixed implant teeth, the Hybridge® dental implant bridge, and other full-arch replacements in order to better serve his patients with the latest technology and techniques. In fact, Dr. Hansen dedicates over ten times the required time each year to training.
Our denture patients experience the same “WOW!” effect that our patients who have had expensive full-mouth cosmetic makeovers do. In fact, with our modern techniques and materials, no one even has to know you wear dentures. Request a free consultation today!
Implant supported dentures are the best choice for replacing a full set of upper or lower teeth.
The dental implants our dentures are attached to are designed to last for a lifetime.
Enjoy food, sports, and laughter like you used to without worrying about your smile.
The Hybridge full arch is not an implant, but is instead a full arch prosthesis restoration that can be done in two weeks. The conventional approach to dental implants, usually includes porcelain crowns or bridgework which are ideal for a few missing teeth, but for replacement of a complete arch are not ideal. All-on-4 or other full-arch replacement systems take up to 6 months to complete. Learn more about the Hybridge system here.
While the average dental implant procedure takes between three and six months, your Hybridge treatment may take as few as two weeks to complete. Treatment duration varies based on having teeth or no teeth at the start of treatment, if bone grafting is needed, if the prosthetic is on the top or bottom jaw, or if there are any dental infections
Implant fixed Hybridge teeth are permanent teeth removable only by your dentist and only when needed. When cleaning your teeth you'll brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth.
