Dental Implant Success Story - Jason’s Journey with Dr. Rigby at Rigby Dental in Sandy, UT

My little 2-year-old when he saw that my teeth were removed, he says, oh daddy. No, it was a heartbreaker.

Name’s Jason Besendorfer. I’ve been a tattoo artist slash student for the last 25 plus years, genetically and predisposed to dental problems. Teeth are what people see when they look at your face. It’s the first thing that they’re drawn to is a person smiled. I was looking at implants and that’s where Dr. Rigby and I landed. I’m looking to smile ear to ear, the day I have them

Ready. Now he’s got a fix prosthesis that he’s able to eat and chew pretty much anything he wants. Today’s a good day. Let’s get him a mirror.

Oh my gosh, guys

The staff is so kind. I couldn’t recommend anybody other than this place to anyone.


If you are considering an upper or lower full arch implant retained solution, every Hybridge solution includes a completely customized prosthetic restoration supported by permanent titanium dental implants.

Implants provide the stimulation necessary for bone growth and health. The prosthesis is attached to the implants, and will only be removed at our dental office. The Hybridge procedure consists of placing 5-6 implants on the upper and/or lower arch. You do not need a dental implant for each one of your missing teeth. A natural-looking smile made right here in the United States. Hybridge restorations are designed in a state-of-the-art specialty laboratory – using the most advanced materials for long-term strength and durability.

Hybridge® Gen4

The Hybridge Full Mouth Restoration replaces all of the teeth on either the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.

Special Moments

Fully Functional Set Of “Teeth In A Day”!

Dental implants are changing the way people live. Because the implants are made of titanium and the bar is a chromium cobalt frame, it gives up to 95% chewing function back. Once the implants have integrated into the bone, it serves as a strong, long-lasting foundation for your new teeth. Implants will also prevent future bone loss in the jaw. A person who has lost their teeth regains the ability to go back to eating the foods they love. Patients with dental implants can eat and smile with confidence.

Hybridge Dental Implants FAQs

How does Hybridge differ from traditional removable dentures?

One of the biggest differences is stability. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removed daily, while a Hybridge restoration is secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This creates a more stable foundation for eating, speaking, and smiling. Many patients appreciate the confidence that comes from knowing their teeth remain securely in place during everyday activities without the movement that can sometimes occur with removable appliances.

Who is a good candidate for Hybridge dental implants?

Many adults who have lost most or all of their teeth, have failing dental work, or are frustrated with dentures may be candidates for Hybridge treatment. Good candidates generally have sufficient jawbone to support implants or are eligible for procedures that improve implant support. A consultation and diagnostic imaging help determine whether Hybridge is the right solution for your specific needs and goals.

Can Hybridge help improve speech difficulties caused by missing teeth?

Yes. Missing teeth and unstable dentures can affect pronunciation and speech clarity. Because Hybridge restorations are securely attached to implants, many patients find it easier to speak naturally and confidently. While there may be a brief adjustment period, patients often experience improved speech compared to situations where teeth are missing or removable dentures shift during conversation.

What foods can I eat after completing Hybridge treatment?

Many patients look forward to enjoying a wider variety of foods after treatment. Once healing is complete and your implants have successfully integrated with the jawbone, the restoration is designed to provide excellent stability during chewing. Individual recommendations vary, but patients often find they can comfortably enjoy foods that may have been difficult or impossible to eat with missing teeth or traditional dentures.

How do I care for a Hybridge restoration?

Although Hybridge teeth are not natural teeth, they still require proper daily care and professional maintenance. Patients should follow all hygiene instructions provided by their dental team and attend recommended follow-up visits. Regular cleanings and examinations allow the Rigby Dental team to monitor implant health, evaluate the restoration, and help ensure long-term success. Consistent care is important for protecting your investment.

How long can Hybridge dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to serve as a long-term tooth replacement solution. Longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, overall health, lifestyle habits, and regular professional care. Many patients enjoy their implant-supported restorations for many years. Maintaining healthy gums and bone around the implants plays a critical role in preserving both function and appearance over time.

Why do patients choose Hybridge instead of replacing teeth individually?

For patients missing an entire arch of teeth, replacing every tooth individually may not always be the most practical approach. Hybridge uses strategically placed implants to support a full-arch restoration, reducing the number of implants required while still providing excellent support and function. Many patients appreciate the combination of efficiency, durability, and natural-looking results that this treatment approach can offer for comprehensive smile restoration.
