Spanish There’s an old saying that says, “When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.” While we generally agree with this wisdom, there’s been an innovation in tooth replacement technology that’s so simple, effective, and provides so many benefits that it really is almost too good to be true. We’re talking about Fix-on-Six® dental implants, an evolution of the All-on-4® denture system. This revolutionary denture system is made possible by using mini dental implants, a slim, effective, and more affordable way to replace missing teeth. Dr. Brent Bradford, a leading expert in mini implant dentures, is at the forefront of this change. With his knowledge and experience, he helps patients achieve a more stable, comfortable, and confident smile.
The Limitations of All-on-4
The All-on-4 dental implant system has been a popular denture choice, offering a stable solution for complete tooth replacement. However, despite its benefits, All-on-4 has certain limitations, mostly stemming from its use of traditional dental implants. These larger implants need more jawbone to place; if you don’t meet that requirement, a bone grafting procedure can be necessary. They also have an invasive placement technique that involves incisions and stitches and a lengthy healing timeline that takes at least three months and up to a year. These constraints can make the process less ideal for some patients, particularly those who have experienced significant bone loss.
Why Fix-on-Six Is the Better Option
The major advantage of the Fix-on-Six system is its use of six to ten mini dental implants. We strategically place them in the jawbone to provide a more secure and stable base for a full arch bridge. Mini implants are less than half the thickness of traditional implants, which makes them a suitable option for those who have experienced bone loss. It also means their placement procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only a tiny pilot hole. With the help of a local anesthetic, you won’t feel a thing, and the entire process takes about 15 minutes.
Benefits of Fix-on-Six Dental Implants Over Other Denture Options
Choosing Fix-on-Six dental implants over All-on-4 or traditional dentures provides several advantages, thanks to their use of mini dental implants:
- Streamlined placement and healing: The placement procedure for mini implants is minimally invasive, virtually pain-free, and can be done in minutes. Afterward, you’ll only feel minor discomfort that will be gone in a day or two. For long-term healing, mini implants will be fully fused with the jawbone in about three weeks. Compared to the months-long healing process of traditional implants, mini implants come out on top.
- Increased stability and comfort: Patients enjoy enhanced stability and comfort with more implants supporting the bridge. They also experience increased biting and chewing power, and the higher number of implants reduces the chances of the prosthesis causing discomfort or failing.
- A more natural look and feel: Patients often report that their Fix-on-Six implant-supported dentures feel more like their natural teeth than traditional dentures, significantly boosting confidence and quality of life.
- Suitable for varying bone densities: Because Fix-on-Six uses mini implants, it can be an option for patients who might not qualify for All-on-4 due to reduced bone density.
- Affordability: Mini implants cost about half as much as traditional implants thanks to their simpler placement, shorter healing time, and fewer appointments needed.
