3 on 6™ dental implants offer a revolutionary treatment for those seeking a permanent and natural-looking restoration for missing teeth.

This affordable procedure offers a comfortable and convenient solution, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence, just like you would with your natural teeth. You don't have to settle for dentures or a smile you're not happy with. With 3 on 6™ implants, you can enjoy a fully restored smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
How Do 3 on 6™ Dental Implants Work?
Permanent Strength and Stability
The six implants are strategically placed to provide a long-lasting solution for your missing teeth. This permanent foundation not only supports your replacement teeth but also helps to preserve your jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.
Seamlessly Beautiful
Three beautiful, bright, and incredibly strong zirconia bridges are attached to the implants. These bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth in terms of size, shape, and color, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. You'll enjoy a fully restored smile that looks and feels completely natural.
A Secure and Comfortable Fit
With no acrylic mouthpiece, eating and speaking feel just like using your natural teeth. You'll experience a comfortable and secure fit, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about slippage or discomfort.
Effortless Oral Care
Maintaining optimal oral hygiene with 3 on 6™ implants is simple. No glues or special rinses are needed; brushing and flossing are all that is required to keep your new teeth clean and healthy. This makes it easy to incorporate your 3 on 6™ implants into your daily oral care routine and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
The 3 on 6™ Process
1. Personalized Consultation and Planning
Your 3 on 6™ journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Davis. He will examine your mouth, discuss your needs and goals, and use advanced 3D imaging to plan your implant treatment. This detailed planning process ensures that your implants are placed precisely and strategically to provide optimal support for your restoration.
2. Implant Placement
On the day of your implant surgery, you'll receive anesthesia to ensure comfort. Dr. Davis will then surgically place six dental implants in your jawbone, providing a stable base for your restoration. These implants are strategically positioned to maximize support and minimize the need for bone grafting. You will have temporary teeth placed while your implants heal, allowing you to maintain a natural-looking smile during the healing process.
3. Healing and Osseointegration
A healing period of several months will follow the procedure. This allows the implants to fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new teeth. During this time, you'll be closely monitored to ensure proper healing and integration of the implants.
4. Zirconia Bridge Fabrication
Once the implants have fully integrated, a dental lab will custom-make your zirconia bridges. These bridges are meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth in terms of size, shape, and color, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. Zirconia is a strong and durable material that provides excellent support for your replacement teeth.
5. Prosthesis Placement
Once your zirconia bridges are ready, you'll return to our office for their placement. These bridges will be securely attached to the implants, providing a fixed and permanent restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. You'll be able to enjoy a fully restored smile with renewed confidence.
