Progress isn’t about discarding the past—it’s about building on it, refining it, and expanding its reach. Time and again, we take what works and ask, how can this be better? We recognize its potential to do more, not because the original had no value. Vinyl became CDs, then streaming, not because music lost its magic but because access transformed. Handwritten letters turned into emails and texts, keeping connection alive in a faster, more accessible way. We adapt, we improve, and sometimes, we don’t even realize we settled for less until something better comes along. Tooth replacement has followed the same path. Traditional dentures provided a solution, but implant systems like Fix-on-Six expanded the possibilities. Securing a full arch of teeth with implants offers greater stability, comfort, and confidence in daily life. Instead of shifting or slipping, they stay firmly in place, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile.
Advancements like Fix-on-Six don’t erase what came before—they build on it, ensuring more people can experience the benefits of something stronger, longer-lasting, and better suited to their lives.
Bone Loss, Instability, and the Downsides of Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are a common solution for replacing missing teeth, but their design can present several challenges over time. These removable prosthetics consist of a pink acrylic base that mimics the appearance of natural gums and a set of artificial teeth. Upper dentures rely on suction to stay in place by covering the roof of the mouth. Lower dentures rest on the mandibular ridge and depend on the tongue and cheek muscles for stability. While they restore basic function and appearance, their reliance on soft tissues for support can lead to long-term complications.
One of the most significant issues with traditional dentures is bone loss, also known as resorption. Unlike natural teeth, dentures do not have root-like structures to stimulate the jawbone. Without this stimulation, the body begins to reabsorb minerals from the bone, causing it to shrink over time. As the jawbone deteriorates, the ridge that supports the denture flattens, making it harder for the prosthetic to stay in place. This progressive change leads to an increasingly poor fit, requiring frequent adjustments and replacements to maintain comfort and function.
Another common challenge is instability. Because traditional dentures are not anchored into the bone, they are prone to movement. Upper dentures rely on suction for retention, but lower dentures face even greater difficulties due to the constant movement of the tongue and the shrinking of the mandibular ridge. Over time, these factors can cause dentures to shift or even “float” while eating or speaking. This can lead to painful friction, sore spots, and frustrating interruptions during meals or conversations. Many denture wearers find themselves constantly readjusting their prosthetics, worrying about them slipping at the worst moments. Instead of restoring confidence, ill-fitting dentures can create daily struggles that impact everything from diet to social interactions.
What Is Fix-on-Six?
The key to finding a reliable and long-lasting denture solution is choosing one that interacts with your jawbone like natural tooth roots. Implant dentures do just that. We place dental implants directly into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a stable foundation that mimics real tooth roots while securely supporting a denture. There are many implant denture options available—but what makes Fix-on-Six® stand out?
Fix-on-Six is a specialized implant denture system that provides superior stability and function. This system uses six to ten mini dental implants to anchor a full-arch bridge, eliminating the slipping and discomfort associated with traditional dentures. The bridge itself is made from zirconia, a highly durable material that closely resembles natural teeth in both strength and appearance.
One of the unique advantages of Fix-on-Six is its semi-removable design. While patients never have to remove the bridge themselves, one of our dentists detaches it during routine checkups for deep cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the bridge can be customized with or without pink porcelain “gums,” depending on the patient’s needs for lip support. With its strong foundation and lifelike design, Fix-on-Six offers a long-term solution that restores not just function but confidence in everyday life.
Why Mini Dental Implants Are the Perfect Fit for Fix-on-Six
Mini dental implants are the implant of choice for the Fix-on-Six® system—but what makes them so special? Unlike traditional implants, which are larger and require more invasive surgery, mini implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter—nearly half the size of a standard implant. Their compact design allows us to place them in areas with limited bone density, making them ideal for patients who may not qualify for traditional implants. In many cases, they eliminate the need for bone grafting, streamlining the treatment process and reducing overall healing time.
The placement of mini dental implants is precise and minimally invasive. Using a patented technique, our dentist carefully creates a small pilot hole in the gum and bone before positioning the implant with accuracy. This approach causes less disruption to surrounding tissues, resulting in smaller incisions, minimal discomfort, and a noticeably faster recovery.
