What do I do with patients with non-LOCATOR overdenture attachment systems?


A:  LOCATOR offers distinct benefits compared to other overdenture systems. It is able to provide patients the choice of an affordable fixed, full-arch solution OR a removable overdenture solution. The patient is also able to easily switch back and forth between fixed and removable if conditions require.

However, if there isn’t a need to make changes, you should try to service the overdenture attachment system that is currently in place. That means working with the company that manufactures the overdenture attachment system.

If you’re faced with an overdenture system which is no longer in production, such as the Implant Direct GPS overdenture attachment system, or difficult to get parts and support for, you should consider switching to the LOCATOR overdenture attachment system. 

LOCATORs are compatible with over 95%+ of the implant systems on the market today. LOCATOR overdenture attachments are compatible with Straumann implants, MIS implants, Zimmer Biomet, and many other implant manufacturers on the market. You
