When searching for a reliable tooth replacement solution, it’s easy to get swept up by flashy promises from companies that seem to pop up overnight. They claim they can replace missing teeth with less hassle and lower cost, as if they’ve reinvented the wheel. The appeal is undeniable—we all want something that works well without breaking the bank! However, it’s always a good idea to ask questions and make sure the solution is right for you. So, how can you distinguish between a trustworthy option and just good marketing? The dentist’s experience is key. With over 30 years in the field, Dr. Miller at Bent Tree Dental has witnessed countless trends. He knows what works and what doesn’t, ensuring that you’re getting a proven solution tailored to your needs. Whether you’re considering Stabili-Teeth or other alternatives like All-on-4, it’s important to find a provider who prioritizes your long-term health and satisfaction. At Bent Tree Dental, we’re committed to doing just that.
Understanding Stabili-Teeth Alternatives
Providers like Stabili-Teeth® offer a “full mouth restorative alternative.” But what is this option an alternative to? Traditionally, systems like All-on-4® have been the go-to solution for full-mouth tooth replacement with dental implants. This method replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four traditional implants. While this may be effective for some, two factors have raised concerns for some patients: the size of the implants and the number of posts used.
The traditional dental implants used in systems like All-on-4 are about 5 millimeters in diameter, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. For implants of this size to work, the patient needs an ample jawbone to support them. Many patients require bone grafting to build up the bone, which adds complexity and recovery time.
Additionally, while four implants might seem reasonable, it’s important to consider how biting and chewing forces are distributed. With only four traditional implants, each one carries a heavier load. If one fails, the others endure extra pressure, potentially jeopardizing the entire system.
What does the Stabili-Teeth alternative to All-on-4 look like? The approach combines smaller implants with traditional ones, creating a mix of sizes. While this method allows for more flexibility, it raises concerns about invasiveness and healing. Given their size, traditional-sized implants disturb more of your gum and bone tissue. Naturally, this slows down the tooth replacement process. It’s like trying to speed up in a car while towing a heavy load—the mini implants allow for quicker healing, but the larger implants act like extra weight, making the recovery process slower and more difficult.
Fix-on-Six®: Exploring Stabili-Teeth Alternatives
Just about any implant provider will tell you that traditional implants and mini dental implants offer distinct healing journeys because of their size difference. Mini dental implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter—about the width of a toothpick. Because they are half the width of traditional implants, mini implant placement is much less invasive. This key difference simplifies the procedure and shortens the treatment timeline. Plus, mini dental implants also allow for “immediate loading,” meaning Dr. Miller can often attach the final restoration right after placement, reducing the overall wait time for a restored smile.
As an alternative to Stabili-Teeth, we offer the Fix-on-Six® system, which uses six to ten mini implants to support a roundhouse bridge. Similar to other options that incorporate more implants, this approach ensures even force distribution along the jaw. However, because Fix-on-Six relies exclusively on mini implants, the path to full mouth restoration is faster, more convenient, and less invasive than other methods.
When choosing between implant systems, wouldn’t you prefer a minimally invasive option that delivers the same reliable results? Other providers may mix mini and traditional-sized implants, but with the Fix-on-Six technique, you can look forward to quicker results and a more comfortable procedure. And, you still receive the benefits of more implant support but without the extended waiting period!
