What Is Fix-on-Six? Learn About the Accessible, Beautiful Full-Arch Replacement [Video Q&A]

Denture wearers often seek dental implant-supported solutions because their traditional false teeth don’t feel like a part of them. All too often, traditional false teeth are loose, unstable, and bulky. If your denture experience is holding you back, take a moment to discover the difference Fix-on-Six makes. This is a refined full-arch replacement system that uses mini dental implants to provide a more stable, more beautiful alternative to conventional dentures.

Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis Genello, and Dr. Andrew Knott want to help you rebuild your confidence with innovative dentistry. To that end, we’re passionate about this elegant, tried-and-true upgrade to your unreliable dentures.

What Is Fix-on-Six?

Fix-on-Six® is a premium full-arch restoration supported by anywhere from 6-10 mini dental implants. This design provides excellent stability and load distribution, supporting a more natural experience when you bite, chew, and smile.

A dental lab custom-crafts the full-arch bridge from a durable, beautiful ceramic zirconia. This material is known for its strength and realistic tooth-like sheen. Depending on the structure of your mouth, our dentists can craft a small amount of gum material to provide support for the bridge, if necessary.

By using mini dental implants instead of conventional dental implants, our dentists can complete your full-arch replacement with a gentler, more comfortable procedure. It is more affordable than permanent roundhouse bridge options, especially those that rely on conventional implants, such as the All-on-4 system. In fact, mini implant-supported dentures often cost roughly half as much as those that use conventional implants.

Fix-on-Six is also known as a semi-removable roundhouse bridge because you’ll never remove it at home. Instead, you simply come in for routine checkups, during which one of our dentists will perform a deep cleaning. This design gives patients the feeling of having their natural teeth while still allowing the dentist to occasionally remove it as needed.

The Fix-on-Six system strikes the ideal balance between luxury and accessibility. You’ll enjoy a full-arch solution that feels far truer to your old teeth while still being more accessible than permanent denture options.

Fix-on-Six® Process Step-by-Step

As a patient, what should you expect from the Fix-on-Six® process at Hazzouri Dental? First, you should anticipate that your comfort and goals for a smile makeover come first. A single dentist will take on your case and work with you through each step of the process. The Fix-on-Six experience happens in phases:

1. Free consultation and planning: The dentist learns about your goals and takes precise images of your mouth using a state-of-the-art CBCT scanner. This is a 3D X-ray machine that helps guide precise implant placement.
2. Implant placement and temporary restoration: The dentist uses a minimally invasive approach with no large incisions to place the mini implants into the jawbone. He secures a temporary replacement while a dental lab crafts your final restoration.
3. Final bridge placement: In a few weeks, the dentist will cement the custom-crafted zirconia bridge onto the implants.

After you have a confident, radiant full-arch replacement, the next step is to preserve your results with proper post-procedure care. Keep up with consistent brushing, and consider investing in a water flosser to clean under the bridge.

We also emphasize that you come in for routine follow-up visits every six months. This gives our dentists the chance to remove the bridge, provide deep cleanings, and cement it back into place. We also ensure your implants are in good condition during these visits.

Hazzouri Dental has a clear roadmap in place, so patients like you can feel confident embracing a Fix-on-Six full-arch replacement.
