All-on-4, All-on-X, 3 on 6... I'm confused!
We get it, the terms can get very confusing. All-on-4 is a treatment concept developed by Nobel Biocare in 1977. Historically it has been very popular and many alternative variations of this treatment came into existence in the years following. The biggest variations were how many implants to use. While All-on-4 is a trademarked procedure, All-on-6 and All-on-X refer to these variations with varying numbers of implants used in the restoration.
The 3 on 6™ was developed in 2012 and was designed to correct some of the problems of the All-on-X style restorations. Most notably, All-on-X restorations generally require removal of bone from the patient's mouth to make room for the bulky acrylic gums. The 3 on 6™ on the other hand only restores the teeth and preserves the patient's bone. It is a more conservative and hygienic approach to full mouth restoration and functions and feels more natural for the patient.
Before making a decision, learn about the benefits of 3 on 6™ treatment.
Not only is the 3 on 6™ a safer, more natural treatment,
we also save our patients on average $18,400
from their comparable full mouth treatment plan!
"I didn't want the fake gums, dentures.
I'm going to be smiling at everybody. They may send me to a psychiatrist I'm smiling so much. I love it, I'm beautiful."

Real Patients. Real Transformations.
Sleep peacefully, wake up with your new smile
Full sedation under general anesthesia is offered at our office. You can sleep peacefully while your beautiful new 3 on 6™ smile is placed. We also offer immediately loaded dental implants. This means new temporary teeth will be placed the same day you receive your implants. From day 1 you will have an incredible new smile.

01
Free Consultation
Everything begins with a free consultation with a 3 on 6™ certified doctor. They will take scans of your mouth which they will use to determine if you are a candidate for the 3 on 6™.
At this initial consultation, they will also go over payment and financing options with you and determine if and when you would like to begin treatment.
02
Implant Surgery
At the following appointment, the implant surgery will take place. This can be done with local anesthesia or you can choose to be sedated. Surgery usually takes 3-4 hours for an arch, or 6-8 hours for a full mouth. You will wake up with a set of beautiful temporary teeth in your mouth.
After this surgery, the implants will need to heal for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. During this time you will be on a soft foods diet. Our dental lab will design your new smile with the input you've given to your doctor on the shape and shade of the teeth.
03
Second Set of Bridges
After your implants are healed and strong, you will receive an updated set of temporary bridges. Anesthesia is not necessary for the replacement of the bridges. These temporary bridges will give you and your doctor the chance to make any final recommendations to the shape and shade before you get your final zirconia teeth.
04
Final Zirconia Teeth
Your final zirconia bridges will then be made by our in-house 3 on 6™ dental lab specialists. A final appointment will be scheduled in which the doctor will place your final bridges and ensure that it meets all of your expectations. Patients can be in their final bridges anywhere from 4-8 months after surgery, depending on the complexity of the case and patient requests.
Your new 3 on 6™ smile will be beautiful and permanent. You don't have to ever remove it and can maintain it with simple brushing and flossing. You can smile, speak, kiss, and chew with confidence!
