Fix-on-4: the replacement of a total tooth loss – understandably

Many people still opt for a removable tooth replacement, a prosthesis, for a complete loss of a lower or upper tooth. However, these often cause discomfort when eating or talking because they are unstable and fall out easily.

Fortunately, there is now a more comfortable and aesthetic solution to this problem, called Fix-on-4. In the current issue of our article series, we asked Dr. Zoltán Marton, the leading dentist at Marton.Dental dentistry in Mosonmagyaróvár, about this.

 

Fix-on-4. What exactly does this English term mean?

Dr. Marton: This complete denture, as the name suggests, is fixed at four points in the lower or upper jaw using dental implants. Thanks to the implants placed, a long-term, safe and permanent solution is created and the prosthesis is very similar to natural teeth, both aesthetically and in use.

 

What are the benefits of this fixed denture?

Dr. Marton: Only four implants are needed to fix the entire denture, so they do not move or fall out, and there is no need for denture adhesive or overnight removal. The Fix-on-4 denture has a minimum of artificial teeth, which makes it easy to clean without removing the denture, and you can eat and drink with no restrictions, even with just your own teeth, after the final transfer. Another very important factor is that the new teeth reduce facial indentation, which softens the features and rejuvenates the overall appearance.

What should I expect if I choose the Fix-on-4 solution?

Dr. Marton: The process may seem simple, but it requires a high level of expertise and years of experience, which Marton.Dental dentistry naturally has. Treatment starts with an x-ray and a consultation with a specialist. If Fix-on-4 is the right solution, the four implants are placed under local anaesthetic at a pre-arranged appointment, and a temporary replacement is made with screws that afternoon, so you can leave smiling after the first procedure.This is followed by a 4-month healing period, during which time the implants will have ossified. The impression is taken in the healed state, and the dental laboratory will prepare a customized, fixed restoration in a short time. This is then fixed with four screws, so that our patients can enjoy the benefits of Fix-on-4 technology from the very first moment.
