Frequently Asked Questions
The 3 on 6™ system replaces a full arch of teeth using three individual <a href="/services/cosmetic-dentistry/dental-bridges/">dental bridges</a> supported by six dental implants. Unlike a removable denture or a single acrylic bridge, the result is fixed in place and functions like natural teeth.
<a href="/services/dental-implants/all-on-4/">All-On-4</a> restores an arch with one full-arch prosthesis carried on four implants. The 3 on 6™ uses six implants and three separate bridges, which spreads the load differently and means a single section can be addressed without disturbing the whole arch. Dr. Hughes will explain which approach suits your jaw at your consultation.
Yes. The bridges are fixed to the implants and are not taken out at night — only your dentist removes them. You care for them much as you would natural teeth, with daily cleaning and regular check-ups.
Suitability depends on the volume and quality of bone available to hold six implants, and on the health of your gums. A <a href="/technology/cone-beam-ct-scan-imaging-hughes-dental-arts-implant-center/">CBCT scan</a> and examination establish that. Where bone is limited, grafting or a <a href="/services/oral-maxillofacial-surgery/sinus-lift/">sinus lift</a> may be recommended first.
Hughes Dental Arts Implant Center is among the select practices trained and authorised to offer the 3 on 6™ system, so the treatment is planned and placed here in Herrin.
