If you need dentures or implant supported dentures or prefer to go fixed full arch dental implant route, he’s the professional to trust.
When considering full mouth teeth replacement, you have three main options. Each offers different levels of function, aesthetics, and long-term value.
Not all tooth replacement options are the same. This guide helps you understand the differences between removable and fixed solutions, so you can choose the one that’s right for your smile and lifestyle.
"Most Economical"
"Highly Recommend-Best Value"
"Closest to Natural Teeth"
LOCATOR FIXED is a revolutionary FIXED full-arch treatment that uses the exact same abutment and workflow as the original removable LOCATOR attachment system.
It’s all in the inserts and housings! Whereas the Removable LOCATOR solution uses a flexible nylon insert and silver housing, the FIXED offering uses proprietary rigid inserts and a special gold housing.
With LOCATOR FIXED, you can easily convert your existing LOCATOR Removable overdentures into a permanent FIXED prosthesis, without the need for any changes to the underlying LOCATOR abutments. You just need a minimum of four implants to begin the LOCATOR FIXED journey.
Each solution mentioned above comes with its own set of life-changing advantages as well as its own unique price. After performing a thorough oral examination, reviewing 3D cone beam CT scans, and learning more about your specific goals, Dr. Gleave will provide a treatment plan and payment plan that meets your particular needs and specifications. Although full arch fixed dental implants are frequently what we recommend, we understand this treatment can have a higher price tag. That’s why we partner with trusted third-party financing companies and will file on behalf of your dental, and at times medical, insurance policies to ensure you receive a manageable monthly payment.
