For many denture patients, the dream of having permanent, stable teeth feels out of reach. However, modern dental technology has revolutionized the process of converting removable dentures to fixed solutions, making this transformation more accessible than ever. Converting removable dentures to fixed implant solutions represents a significant opportunity to improve patient quality of life while expanding practice capabilities. The predictability and efficiency of modern systems like LOCATOR FIXED™ make this treatment option increasingly accessible to a broader patient population.
A recent long-term study published in the November 2023 issue of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology provides compelling evidence for the effectiveness of implant-supported solutions in improving patients' quality of life. Read on to explore why this journal asserts that LOCATOR provides a better quality of life than traditional bar overdentures.

When facing edentulism, many patients end up choosing removable implant restorations over fixed restorations due to a lack of awareness, budget, or previous misconceptions. As a skilled clinician, it may be easy for you to see the benefits of a fixed restoration yourself, but knowing how to make that accessible to your patient base can be easier said than done. That’s why it’s important to understand the factors that may lead a patient to favoring one treatment or the other and how you can guide them to choose the solution that will best fit their needs and lifestyle.
