Fix-on-Six Dentures With Mini Dental Implants Cost Less Than You Think

For many, the thought of replacing missing teeth can seem overwhelming, especially when considering the financial implications. Some people shy away from tooth replacement, believing it’s a luxury rather than a necessity. The perception that sturdy and reliable tooth replacement solutions are financially out of reach is common. This concern may be the case for systems like All-on-4®, which use conventional implants, as they can be quite costly. However, innovative solutions like Fix-on-Six, which utilizes mini dental implants, offer a more cost-effective way to restore your smile without compromising quality. Choosing Fix-on-Six means you gain a durable, stable smile that lets you enjoy life without straining your wallet. Remember, tooth replacement solutions should never feel unattainable. With options like Fix-on-Six®, a beautiful smile is achievable and more affordable.

Choosing Dental Implants for Your Dentures

Conventional dentures have long been the go-to solution for individuals with missing teeth. These removable prosthetics offer a way to restore your smile and, to some extent, improve functionality. However, despite their widespread use, conventional dentures have several notable drawbacks. One common issue is the discomfort and irritation they often cause. These dentures are not fixed in place, so they shift and rub against the gums, causing sore spots. This movement makes eating and speaking more challenging, diminishing the quality of life that dentures are supposed to enhance.

Another significant issue is the gradual bone loss that occurs in the jaw. Natural teeth stimulate the jawbone, maintaining its density and structure. When teeth are missing, this stimulation stops, causing the bone to resorb and shrink over time. Conventional dentures do not provide the necessary stimulation. As a result, the jawbone gradually shrinks and changes shape, leading to dentures that fit poorly and require frequent adjustments or replacements. Additionally, bone loss can cause a sunken facial appearance, affecting the overall structure of the face.

Since conventional dentures rest on top of the gums and are not anchored in the jaw, they don’t have the stability and function of natural teeth. Implant dentures are a modern and more effective alternative. We secure them directly into your jawbone using dental implants. This method provides much better stability and helps maintain bone density, just like natural teeth would.

Why Fix-on-Six? Comparing the Cost and Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

There are two popular implant-supported denture systems: All-on-4® and Fix-on-Six®. The All-on-4 system uses conventional implants to support a full arch of teeth. These conventional implants are roughly 5 millimeters in diameter and require a significant amount of jawbone for placement. Patients often need sufficient bone density and volume to support these larger implants. In cases of low bone density, additional procedures like bone grafting are necessary to build up the jawbone before implant placement.

In contrast, the Fix-on-Six system utilizes mini dental implants to anchor the denture. Mini dental implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter and require less bone for placement. Their compact size means they’re less invasive to place, making the procedure simpler and speeding up the treatment process. One standout feature of mini dental implants is their ability to support “immediate loading.” We can attach your new teeth the same day we place the implants, giving you immediate functionality. This feature offers a significant advantage for anyone seeking a quick and efficient denture alternative with minimal disruption to daily life.

Fix-on-Six also stands out as a more cost-effective alternative to All-on-4, primarily due to the use of mini implants. These smaller implants require less invasive procedures and reduce overall treatment time, leading to significant cost savings. Mini implants are typically half the cost of conventional implants, making Fix-on-Six an attractive option for patients looking to restore their smile without breaking the bank.

Benefits Beyond Cost: The Reliability of Fix-on-Six With Mini Dental Implants

The All-on-4® system, conveniently named, uses four conventional implants to support a denture. While this method might seem more efficient, using only four implants can have drawbacks. If one implant fails, the remaining three have to bear the extra load, affecting your dental bridge’s stability and functionality. On the other hand, the Fix-on-Six® system uses six to ten mini implants. The greater number of implants means the load is spread more evenly, providing better support and strength. With more implants, there’s less risk if one fails, as the others help maintain stability.
