Losing teeth can knock your confidence and daily comfort. But with 3 on 6 dental implants you can get both back. These implants are a stable long term solution that looks and feels natural, so you can eat, smile and live with ease. At Oak Park Denture Clinic we specialise in providing high quality long term dental implant solutions for Melbourne people. If you want a solution that’s functional and looks good you’re in the right place.
You’ve heard of traditional dental implants but what’s 3 on 6? The procedure involves using 6 dental implants to anchor 3 dental bridges so you can have a full set of replacement teeth without one implant per tooth. The implants are placed in the upper or lower jawbone so your prosthetic teeth feel just like the real thing.
Think of it as a balance between full mouth dental implants and traditional dentures. Instead of adhesives or clasps the 3 on 6 dental implants are fixed permanently so a stronger more secure solution.
Dental implants are designed to replace missing or damaged teeth in a way that mirrors the function of natural teeth. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to gum disease, injury or decay, dental implants can be a permanent solution that looks good and works just as well as your original teeth.
If you’ve tried traditional dentures and found them uncomfortable or inconvenient the 3 on 6 option might be just what you need. You get the benefits of dental implants without the need for multiple surgeries or complex procedures.
The process starts with an initial consultation where we assess your dental health and options. Once we’ve determined 3 on 6 dental implants are right for you we’ll proceed.
First our dental professionals will place 6 dental implants into your jawbone. These implants will be the foundation for your new teeth. If your jawbone has bone loss we may need to do a bone graft before we can place the implants. This step ensures the implants have a solid base for long term success.
After implant placement your body needs time to heal. This process allows the implants to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This can take a few months but once it’s complete the implants will be as strong as natural tooth roots.
Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone it’s time to place the dental bridges. These bridges will be attached to the implants so you’ll have a full set of artificial teeth that look and feel like your natural teeth.
When it comes to tooth replacement the 3 on 6 system has many advantages over traditional dentures or other types of implants. Let’s see:
Long Lasting Results: With proper care dental implants can last a lifetime. No need for frequent replacements or adjustments.
Natural Appearance: Your new teeth will be custom made to match the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth so you’ll have a perfect smile.
Comfort: Unlike dentures that can slip or be uncomfortable dental implants are fixed in place.
Functionality: With 3 on 6 implants you can chew and speak just like natural teeth.
Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone so bone loss is prevented and the structure of your face is maintained.
Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure but most people who are missing teeth and have healthy gums can qualify. The main consideration is the health of your jawbone. If your bone structure isn’t strong enough we may need to do a bone graft to provide a stable base for the implants.
Our dental professionals will assess you to see if 3 on 6 dental implants are right for you.
During your initial consultation we’ll go over your medical history and dental health. This will include taking X-rays and possibly 3D scans to assess the condition of your jawbone and surrounding teeth. We’ll also explain the whole process in detail so you know what to expect.
If you’re a good candidate we’ll schedule your implant surgery. The whole process from consultation to having your new teeth can take a few months but it’s worth the wait.
The cost of 3 on 6 dental implants varies depending on the number of implants, if bone grafting is required and the material used for your prosthetic teeth. While implants are a bigger upfront cost compared to dentures they are more cost effective in the long run.
At Oak Park Denture Clinic we will break down the costs for you during your consultation. We also have payment plans and options to make this life changing procedure more affordable.
Looking after your new implants is key to their longevity. Here’s how:
Brush and Floss Daily: Just like natural teeth your implants need to be cleaned daily to prevent plaque and gum disease.
Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit us for regular check-ups to make sure your implants and gums are healthy.
Avoid Hard Foods: While implants are strong they can still be damaged by hard foods. Be careful and avoid habits like chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth.
