LOCATOR FIXED® is a revolutionary FIXED full-arch treatment that uses the exact same abutment and workflow as the original removable LOCATOR attachment system.
Its all in the inserts and housings! Whereas the Removable LOCATOR solution uses a flexible nylon insert and silver housing, the FIXED offering uses proprietary rigid inserts and a special gold housing.
With LOCATOR FIXED, you can easily convert your existing LOCATOR Removable overdentures into a permanent FIXED prosthesis, without the need for any changes to the underlying LOCATOR abutments. You just need a minimum of four implants to begin the LOCATOR FIXED journey.

1. The patient can easily transition between fixed and removable solutions without changing abutment. Increase case acceptance for patients who do not want a denture but cannot afford traditional screw retained solutions.
2. The staged treatment planning allows for a pay as you go approach for you and your patient.
3. Chairtime savings due to no screws or cement needed for installation or hygiene appointments (prosthesis can be removed and seated in seconds).
4. Less need for bone reduction due to shorter prosthetic space requirements vs other fixed systems.
The Green inserts are designed to provide fixed retention for 4 implant or all-on-4 cases.
The Blue and Tan inserts are used in combination on 5+ implant cases.
Blue inserts are used in the mid-arch between the anterior and posterior implant positions. Tan inserts are used in the anterior and posterior positions of an arch.
