LOCATOR® vs. LOCATOR R-Tx®: What is the difference?

If you have an edentulous (or soon to be edentulous) patient who needs a full arch smile restoration but is not a good candidate to go straight into a fixed solution, you may be weighing the options for removable implant-retained solutions. At Zest Dental Solutions, we offer two removable implant-retained options: The original LOCATOR and LOCATOR R-Tx. R-Tx was created as the next generation of the original LOCATOR abutment system, but there are still a few reasons why you may want to opt for the original. Every case is unique, so your decision will depend on your patient’s needs and lifestyle as much as the differences between these two treatment options. To make an informed decision, it is important to understand the differences, features, and benefits of each option.
