In its truest form, a strong support system is something we often overlook but deeply rely on—like the sturdy roots of a tree that hold it steady through the fiercest storms. It’s what transforms uncertainty into confidence, turning “Can I?” into “I will.” Support steadies us, reassures us, and empowers us to face challenges head-on. When it comes to dentures, the right support is just as crucial. Solutions like Fix-on-6 with mini dental implants offer unwavering stability and reliability. Unlike traditional dentures that may slip or feel unsteady, Fix-on-6 anchors your dentures securely, allowing you to focus on life’s moments without distractions or worry. But this solution is about more than stability; it’s about restoring the confidence that comes from knowing your smile won’t let you down. Because the right support is a reminder that you’re ready to take on life’s moments with strength and certainty.
The Downside of Traditional Dentures
There’s a unique kind of frustration that comes with dentures that don’t feel reliable. You’re trying to enjoy your favorite meal, but instead of focusing on the flavors, you’re preoccupied with whether your dentures will stay in place. Or maybe you’ve had to pause mid-conversation, worried that a slip might cause embarrassment. And then there’s the discomfort—the sore spots on your gums that never seem to fully go away. It’s like a constant reminder that something isn’t quite right.
So, why does this happen? The answer lies in how traditional dentures are designed. They rest directly on your gums, relying solely on adhesives or the surrounding tissue for support. While this setup can provide a cosmetic solution to missing teeth, it doesn’t address the root of the problem—literally.
When you lose a tooth, you also lose the root that once connected it to your jawbone. Tooth roots do more than hold teeth in place; they play a critical role in maintaining the strength and density of your jawbone. Every time you chew or bite, the roots send signals to the jawbone, stimulating it to stay healthy and strong. Without this stimulation, the bone begins to shrink—a process called resorption.
Unfortunately, dentures cannot replicate this function. They sit on the surface of your gums without providing the underlying stimulation your jawbone needs. Over time, this can lead to further bone loss, affecting the fit of your dentures and changing the shape of your face. As the gums and bone shrink, dentures become loose, creating a frustrating cycle of adjustments, discomfort, and insecurity.
Fix-on-6: What It Is and How It Benefits You
Fix-on-6 represents a true partnership between modern dentures and the innovative support of mini dental implants. Each element plays a specific role, working together to create a system that’s stable, functional, and built to last.
When we say “fix,” we mean that your denture—a custom roundhouse bridge designed to restore your smile—is securely anchored to dental implants. These implants act as replacements for tooth roots, providing stability and strength. Placed directly into your jawbone, each implant integrates through osseointegration. This natural process allows the implant to fuse with the bone, forming a solid, load-bearing foundation capable of handling the forces of chewing and biting.
The “six” refers to the number of mini dental implants typically used to support the roundhouse bridge. On average, we place 6 to 10 implants, depending on your unique needs. These implants are carefully positioned to create a balanced and stable foundation for the denture. By working together, they evenly distribute biting forces across your jaw. This design minimizes pressure on any single implant, reduces strain on your jawbone, and enhances overall comfort. Like members of a well-coordinated team, each implant plays a critical role in supporting your denture.
Together, the mini dental implants and the roundhouse bridge create a seamless partnership for Fix-on-6. The implants provide the foundation, while the bridge restores the look and function of your smile.
Mini Dental Implants: The Foundation of Fix-on-6
Mini dental implants offer a modern, patient-friendly alternative to traditional implants, particularly for those upgrading their dentures. Traditional implants, with a diameter of about 5 millimeters, require a strong, healthy jawbone for placement. Unfortunately, this isn’t always an option for patients who have experienced bone loss over time—a common issue for those who’ve worn dentures for years. To accommodate traditional implants, many patients must first undergo bone grafting, a surgical procedure to rebuild bone density.
But what if bone grafting isn’t feasible or appealing? Mini dental implants provide a solution. These implants are significantly smaller, measuring less than 3 millimeters in diameter. Their compact size allows them to be placed in areas with limited bone density, often without grafting. The placement process is minimally invasive, making it quicker, less complex, and easier to recover from than traditional implant surgery.
This is why Fix-on-Six is such an attractive option for denture wearers. The mini implants provide the necessary support to anchor a secure and stable denture, while the streamlined process removes many hurdles associated with traditional implants. It’s a solution that combines effectiveness with efficiency—a true win-win for patients looking to restore their smile with less complexity and more comfort.
