Remember the story of The Three Little Pigs? You know, the one with the houses made of straw, wood, and bricks? Those levels of stability can be used to compare different denture options. Traditional removable dentures are like the straw house—unstable and lacking a sturdy foundation. The All-on-4 system uses conventional dental implants to provide better stability and functionality, but it still has drawbacks due to its larger implants. If you’re looking for the proverbial brick house of dentures, you need to consider the Fix on Six system. It uses mini dental implants to provide a strong, durable, and capable denture solution at an affordable price.
Understanding Your Denture Choices
Dentures have been a tool for tooth replacement for hundreds of years, but modern dentures come in one of three varieties:
- Traditional dentures: These are the dental devices your grandparents had sitting in a glass on their nightstand. This bulky pink prosthetic replaces an entire set of teeth but comes with certain challenges. They lose their fit over time, which can make eating and speaking more difficult. They also call for frequent adjustments, and their poor fit causes irritation and gum soreness.
- Partial dentures: This option is only for patients with some teeth remaining. Partial dentures fill spaces left by a few missing teeth and are anchored to existing natural teeth with a metal or plastic bracket.
- Implant dentures: Imagine a denture that’s incredibly stable, looks natural, and functions like real teeth. That’s what you get with implant dentures, which connect directly to your jawbone using dental implants. Some implant dentures are removable, and some are more permanent, but they all look, function, and feel better than traditional dentures.
The Fix on Six System Explained
The Fix on Six system is an implant denture solution that has revolutionized how we think about replacing lost teeth. It offers fantastic stability and functionality, all at an affordable price, thanks to its use of mini dental implants as a means of stabilization. Some of the benefits that Fix on Six dentures provide over traditional dentures are:
- Stability and functionality: Fix on Six uses six to ten mini implants to connect to the jaw, ensuring your dentures stay put. You can eat all your favorite foods again and won’t have to worry about your dentures slipping or falling out.
- Natural look and feel: Traditional dentures have a bulky plastic base and don’t always look like your natural teeth. But with the roundhouse bridge used in Fix on Six dentures, it’s almost like having your real teeth back. They look good, feel more comfortable, and you care for them just like you would your natural teeth.
- Cost-effectiveness: Mini dental implants are less expensive than many traditional options, thanks to their easy placement, shorter healing time, and fewer appointments needed.
The Mini Dental Implant Difference
These small-sized implants are an innovation in implant dentistry. They require a much less invasive placement procedure, meaning less discomfort and faster recovery. Because they’re so tiny, we can place more of them for added stability, and they can fit even if you have a narrow jawbone. If you think their smaller size makes them less capable than traditional implants, think again. They have similarly high success rates as their conventional predecessors and will last a lifetime if properly taken care of.
The best part? Their easier placement and much shorter healing timeline mean fewer visits to the dentist’s office. This helps mini implants cost less than traditional implants—about half as much! With all those benefits at an affordable price, even the Big Bad Wolf can’t say no to mini dental implants.
