Spanish The All-on-4 implant system involves using conventional dental implants to restore your smile. With these implants secure in your jawbone, you can ensure that your smile stays in place! However, not everyone is eligible for this implant system. Conventional implants are large and require ample jawbone structure for placement. Many patients lack the necessary jawbone to secure a conventional implant, as missing teeth lead to the loss of bone mass and volume over time. Fortunately, Dr. Fine at Fine Dental Care has a much more stable solution! With the Fix-on-6 system, utilizing innovative mini dental implants, patients like you can restore their smile without the hassle!
How the Fix-on-6 System Works
The Fix-on-6 system saves patients both time and money, as it uses mini dental implants. These amazing titanium posts are the smaller and sleeker versions of the conventional implants used in the All-on-4 treatment.
At Fine Dental Care, Dr. Fine always starts with a free implant consultation. At this appointment, he will take a comprehensive 3D X-ray of your smile to assess the quality of your bone. Unfortunately, many patients are ineligible for conventional implants, requiring them to undergo additional procedures that add to the cost and healing time. However, mini implants allow most patients to restore their smiles, often without additional procedures, as they require much less bone.
Mini implants are less than 3 millimeters in width and feature a unique one-piece structure. Unlike conventional implants, mini implants involve a minimally invasive procedure that requires no incisions or sutures.
Instead, Dr. Fine creates a small pilot hole in your jaw and gently secures 6 to 10 mini implants in place. Once inserted, these implants are immediately stable enough to support your denture! While you may need to stick to softer foods for a few weeks, this process is much simpler and faster than the conventional implant process.
Conventional implants have many components, requiring different placement appointments for each piece! Between appointments, conventional implants require ample healing for your implant to stabilize. In contrast, mini implants feature a sleek one-piece design, enabling Dr. Fine to place them in a single appointment with no healing period required!
Due to their smaller size and single titanium structure, mini implants are almost half the cost of their conventional counterparts.
Fix-on-6: the Semi-Removable Option
Implant dentures come in a variety of options, all with different levels of removability.
The Fix-on-6 implant denture is semi-removable, meaning that while you never remove it, Dr. Fine will at routine dental visits. Secure on 6 to 10 mini implants placed strategically around your jaw, this restoration provides a stable and secure bite!
Unlike traditional dentures, the Fix-on-6 denture doesn’t need a bulky denture base. Instead, Dr. Fine secures a roundhouse bridge to your implants, replacing the entire arch of your smile. A roundhouse bridge is similar to a dental bridge, but with a sleek horseshoe design that follows the curve of your smile. Without a denture base, this restoration anchors directly to your implants, creating an incredibly natural appearance!
Just like your natural teeth, a Fix-on-6 roundhouse bridge provides effective chewing and a secure smile. With this restoration, people may not even be able to tell you have a denture in!
At your free implant consultation, Dr. Fine will determine if you’re eligible for the Fix-on-6 implant system to secure your smile.
