Discover the Advantages of Fix-on-Six for Denture Stabilization

Struggling with traditional dentures is a daily challenge many face, but it doesn’t have to be your reality. The notion of implant dentures might seem too good to be true—a seamless solution offering the perfect blend of comfort, stability, and aesthetics. Yet, with the advent of systems like Fix-on-Six, this dream is increasingly becoming a reality for more patients. This system is not just about improving smiles; it’s about transforming lives. Our center specializes in cutting-edge dental solutions that radically change how our patients experience daily life. Thanks to mini dental implants, you don’t have to settle for the discomfort and limitations imposed by traditional dentures. Our expertise in implant dentures means we can offer you a stable, secure fit to help you feel like yourself again.

The Superiority of Implant Dentures

Implant dentures represent a significant leap forward from traditional options. They provide a solution that not only looks and feels natural but also enhances overall oral health. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, these are supported by dental implants. They are securely anchored to the jaw, eliminating the fear of dentures slipping or falling out during social interactions or while eating. This stability restores confidence in social settings and allows for a broader diet.

Different methods are used to support implant dentures, including All-on-4® and Fix-on-Six®. Both systems aim to provide a stable and permanent solution for individuals with missing teeth. However, they differ in their approach, implant technology, and suitability for patients.

Mini Dental Implants: The Heart of Fix-on-Six

The first difference between systems like All-on-4® and Fix-on-Six® is the type of implant used. The Fix-on-Six system employs mini dental implants, which are significantly smaller in diameter than traditional implants, often used for All-on-4. While conventional implants are roughly 5 millimeters in diameter, mini implants are about half this size, measuring less than 3 millimeters. Even though these implants are much more slender, they maintain a similar length to their traditional counterparts.

The smaller diameter of mini dental implants allows for a straightforward and less invasive placement process. This approach significantly reduces patients’ discomfort and healing time, making the journey toward denture stabilization faster and far more comfortable.

Another notable distinction between these systems is the implant quantity. All-on-4 relies on four implants for denture stability, whereas the Fix-on-Six utilizes approximately 6 to 10 mini implants. While the All-on-4 system might appeal due to its use of fewer implants, it’s important to consider the implications of this setup. Each implant in the All-on-4 system is larger and bears more load. If one implant were to fail, only three would remain to support the entire denture, which could compromise the stability and function of the prosthetic.

By incorporating additional implants, the Fix-on-Six system guarantees increased stability, evenly distributing bite forces across the jaw.

Fix-on-Six: Designed With You in Mind

A Cost-Effective Solution

The Fix-on-Six® system stands out for its innovative use of mini dental implants and its inherent cost-effectiveness. At its core, this system is designed with the patient’s financial and physical well-being in mind, ensuring that more people can access high-quality dental restoration without the burden of excessive costs. The use of mini dental implants significantly simplifies the surgical process. Unlike traditional implants, which may require extensive surgery, including bone grafting, the smaller size of mini implants means a less invasive procedure, fewer visits to the dentist, and, consequently, reduced overall treatment costs.

Beyond the initial procedure, the Fix-on-Six system’s durability and stability contribute to its cost-effectiveness. By preventing the bone loss associated with traditional dentures and reducing the need for future dental work, patients can enjoy a long-term solution that maintains their oral health, saving money in the long run.

Combatting Bone Loss

For those transitioning from traditional dentures, choosing an implant system is critical. This is especially true considering the prevalence of bone loss among denture wearers. The Fix-on-Six® system is ideally suited for these patients. They offer a pathway to implant dentures that accommodate the realities of their dental health.

Mini dental implants provide a stable and secure foundation for dentures, even in jaws that have experienced significant bone loss. This approach not only enhances the functionality and aesthetics of the dentures but also promotes jawbone health, counteracting the bone deterioration that often accompanies long-term denture use.
