Fixed Locator
Fixed dentures, often referred to as fixed implant dentures or permanent dentures, provide a lasting solution for those who have lost multiple teeth. These dentures are permanently anchored to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. This permanent attachment ensures that the dentures do not move or shift, providing a sense of security that is unmatched by traditional removable dentures. Fixed dentures are meticulously crafted to match the natural appearance of your teeth, offering a seamless blend with your existing dental structure.

Initial Consultation & Planning
Dr. Tarek begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your specific needs for fixed locator dentures. During this phase, he develops a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual oral anatomy and health requirements. This detailed planning ensures optimal implant placement and the best possible outcomes for your fixed locator prosthesis.
Implant Placement Surgery
Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step is the surgical placement of dental implants. This procedure involves inserting small titanium posts into the jawbone, which act as anchors for the fixed locator dentures. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. After the implants are placed, a healing period of several months is usually necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Temporary dentures may be provided during this period to maintain aesthetics and functionality.
Denture Attachment & Final Adjustments
After the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the final stage involves attaching the fixed locator dentures to the implants. Custom-made to match the natural appearance of your teeth, these dentures are designed for a precise fit and maximum comfort. The dentures are securely fastened to the locator attachments on the implants, ensuring a stable and permanent solution. Dr. Tarek will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the fit is perfect and that your bite is properly aligned. Once the procedure is complete, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of fixed locator dentures, including improved chewing ability, enhanced speech, and a confident smile. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your oral health and the condition of the dentures.
