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.
After Dr. Hansen put her teeth in, they handed her a mirror. She was speechless. Just tears of joy for several minutes. She was crying. Dr. Hansen’s assistants were crying. A dental hygienist in the other room heard what was happening and started crying because she was so happy for Tara. It was amazing. That evening Dr. Hansen texted her. “Now that you have had a chance to eat with them, what do you think? And what does your family think?”
Her response: “It’s awesome. I cannot thank you enough, truly. My daughter keeps smiling at me so I will smile back. I love it!”
Jack came to us from Deary, about a 45-minute drive. He got an upper partial denture and a lower Hybridge. He wanted our help because he had loose, broken teeth that hurt. It was hard to chew. It was hard to talk, and he was afraid to smile.
Now he smiles. You can see the difference in the before and after video – the spontaneous willingness to smile is there now. He can eat the foods he loves again.
Darrel is from Potlatch, Idaho, about half an hour away. He couldn’t eat and didn’t smile much because he had so many broken teeth. He really wanted to do something, but he was afraid of the surgery. He researched for a couple of years, meeting with dentists in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. He decided to get himself taken care of in our office. He is able to eat again without choking on unchewed food. He smiles at everybody.
Paige is from Moscow. She had leukemia as a child and had loose, unreliable teeth ever since. She couldn’t eat most foods, including apples and corn on the cob, because her front teeth were loose and hurt, and she was afraid they’d fall out. Paige has not been comfortable smiling for years because of the appearance of her teeth. She wanted whiter, straighter teeth and the ability to eat foods that she used to enjoy. She wanted to feel more confident; she didn’t want to be afraid of her teeth falling out anymore. With Hybridge® her confidence is restored, she can smile, laugh, and eat what she wants again. She’s no longer in pain and loves to smile.
Monique had not eaten hard foods for about ten years when she came to visit Dr. Clay Hansen about restoring her smile. Her top four front teeth were loose, unsightly, and uncomfortable. She wanted to eat apples, carrots, and other hard foods again.
Dr. Hansen removed the four damaged teeth and replaced them with dental implants so she can smile, laugh, and eat what she wants again. Watch the video to see her transformation and don’t hesitate to call if you have similar concerns.
Scott is from Kamiah which is about 1 hour and 45 minutes away. He had broken teeth and his mouth hurt for years, unable to eat some of the foods he enjoys. We did an upper Hybridge for him, and now he can smile and eat without mouth pain anymore.
For years, Suzette had worn bottom dentures that never fit her properly. She had been to two different denturists, neither of whom was able to give her teeth that were comfortable. “Most of the time, I’d be taking them out, putting them in my pocket. That’s how I lost some.”
She had researched implants before but had a fear of the procedure. However, having been without dentures for a month, and after extensive online research, she found Dr. Hansen. “I was at the point where I needed to do something.” Watching all of the video testimonials about patients receiving their Hybridge® system helped her overcome her fear.
Now that the Hybridge® procedure is done, she is happy to say it went much better than she expected. “I have not felt my mouth feel like this for probably 20 years…It’s like having my own regular teeth again.” She is happy to report that now she can eat anything, including her favorite, Cobb salad.
Tosha had a denture made for her just a few years ago, and she hated it. The denturist made her a second one, and she hated that one, too. She was embarrassed to smile. She essentially became a recluse, avoiding social situations, because she was so self-conscious abut the appearance of her smile. Additionally, she said she couldn’t eat anything because of her bottom teeth being in such bad shape.
With Hybridge®, the things she was most looking forward to were: being able to smile with confidence, talking without hiding her teeth, and eating again. She loves her new smile and she is able to eat the foods she loves! She smiles spontaneously now, and finds herself smiling naturally, without worrying about or trying to hide it. She speaks and interacts with people with confidence again and no longer feels like she needs to hide her teeth.
Pam has known for many years that she would someday need to remove all of her teeth. She couldn’t eat because she was in so much pain. Now she can eat the healthy foods she loves and isn’t in constant pain.
She very carefully and thoughtfully researched her options to make the best choice of where to get her teeth removed and replaced and with whom. Pam finally decided to get her restoration done with Dr. Clay Hansen in Moscow ID. Pam loves her new smile!
Irene had a lower partial that was uncomfortable and moved around. After dealing with pain and discomfort for a while, she removed it and was just eating in the front of her mouth using the upper denture that she liked and the few natural front teeth she still had. A friend of hers had her teeth done with Dr. Hansen and told her how it changed her life, so Irene came to Palouse View Dental to see Dr. Hansen and see what he could do to solve her problems and restore her life and smile.
Once Irene got the Hybridge® lower arch, she was able to eat what she wants and enjoy life without the hassle and pain of a partial or denture moving around while she eats. She loves how easy they are to care for. Watch the video to hear the whole story from Irene.
Sometimes you don’t need a total restoration. You just need a dentist to listen to your concerns and present you with a solution. Dr. Hansen suggested Randy restore a damaged tooth with a crown.
Actual patient Randy was embarrassed and uncomfortable with smiling for many years. After his new crown with Dr. Hansen, he smiles all the time!
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.
Sandra came to Palouse View Dental because her teeth hurt all the time. She couldn’t chew or drink without pain, and it had interfered with her health. She was also embarrassed to smile. The after photo shows Sandra right after she got her new teeth. She couldn’t stop smiling!
“I absolutely love how my teeth look! Thank you so much. This is the best dentist office I’ve ever been to. They are very welcoming, very easy people to talk to, and they’re truly there for you. There was hardly any pain during my procedure or after, and I’m just trilled with my smile.” –Sandra
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!
“My wife encouraged me to finally do something about my teeth after decades of discomfort. They’d been wearing down for years and deteriorating just like my father’s teeth had. I didn’t want to end up like my dad, so I reached out to Dr. Clay Hansen for help restoring my smile. I’m so pleased with the results. After several crowns and veneers, now I can smile again!” –Dave
Laura lives over 50 miles away, an hour’s drive. She chose Dr. Hansen’s office over going to a dentist in a bigger city that’s closer because of the great things she heard about Dr. Hansen. Now that she can eat what she wants again, Laura is most excited about eating raw carrots, nuts, and other hard foods that were painful to eat before her Hybridge® restoration.
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.
Karen is from here in Moscow. She had an upper denture that didn’t fit well or look good. She was looking forward to dentures that would stay in and look better. The photos speak for themselves. She is very happy with her new upper denture!
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

“To have the implant done was even easier than I thought it would be. Today I got my new crown on the implant, and it feels just like what I had before I lost my tooth.”
“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
“In the past couple of years I had two teeth extracted and replaced with implants. Dr. Hansen put in the implants and I didn’t have any pain whatsoever.” –Blake
“My smile before was terrible and I had two broken front teeth, and my teeth were crooked and I pretty much just didn’t smile. I had a lot of restorative work done. I have crowns, two bridges, and I feel a whole lot better. My confidence is restored and I’m much more outgoing than I was.” –Cathy
“I started out by coming in for the free consultation. Dr. Hansen and I created a plan to fix the infection and replace the upper teeth with the denture I have. I feel a lot better physically and mentally.” –Chris
“I was sick when I started losing teeth because I’ve had a nice smile my whole life. My family and friends are just crazy about them since they think they look so natural. I love them.”
“I had an abscessed tooth that was a constant source of irritation. From the initial consultation to the placement of the crown was about four to five visits. I thought there would be a lot of pain involved, but really it wasn’t like that at all. The implant procedure was very mildly sore after having the implant done. So now that it’s in, the tooth looks just like the other teeth around it, and I’m really happy.” –Mike
“I broke a tooth and my son had been here, so he referred me. I came in and had my tooth pulled and it healed within a few weeks. I’ve been very happy with my implant. The healing of the gum was faster than having it pulled initially. I slept through the whole procedure, and was listening to music, and using the massager. It was like a spa. I’ve recommended this place to anyone.”
“My tooth was fractured during an accident as a child. The whole process was painless and I now I can’t even tell I have an implant. Thanks Dr. Hansen!”
