3-on-6 Dental Implant Bridges Melbourne - Zirconia Lab

Who does what

3-on-6 replaces a full arch with three separate bridges on six implants. Because each segment is independent, one section can be repaired without removing the whole arch.

We do not place implants. Your dentist or implant surgeon plans and performs the surgery. Our part is the teeth: we take the records, make the prosthesis in our lab in Oak Park, fit it, and repair it if it ever chips. Dentists who want to refer a case can read about our implant prosthetics lab service.

3-on-6 Implant Dentures, Precision Bridge Fabrication

> Important: Oak Park Denture Clinic fabricates the prosthetic bridge components only. We do not perform implant surgery or place implants. The surgical phase is completed by your implantologist or oral surgeon.

What Are 3-on-6 Implant Dentures?

The 3-on-6 system uses six implants to support three separate bridge segments for a full-mouth reconstruction. Unlike All-on-4 (one continuous arch), the 3-on-6 design splits the prosthetic into three independent sections.

Our role: After your surgeon has placed six implants, we design, fabricate, and fit three precision bridge segments that attach to them.

Key Advantage: Segmented Bridge Design

The three-segment approach offers practical benefits over a single continuous arch:

• Independent repairs, if one segment chips, only that section needs work
• Easier hygiene, smaller segments allow better cleaning access
• Stronger distribution, six implants distribute bite force more evenly
• Simpler maintenance, individual segments can be removed for servicing

Our 3-on-6 Bridge Fabrication Process# Step 1: Receive Case from Surgeon

Your implantologist provides the six-implant layout with positions for all three bridge zones.

Step 2: Triple Bridge Design

Our prosthetist designs three separate bridge segments, anterior and two posterior sections, optimised for your implant positions.

Step 3: Fabrication

All three segments are fabricated in our on-site lab using premium materials. Each segment is individually fitted and numbered.

Step 4: Sequential Fitting

We fit all three segments sequentially, verifying bite, aesthetics, and implant connections for each.

Co-Located Dental Care

General dentistry is provided by our co-located sister clinic at Oak Park Dental (Suite 1).

Other options we make in our lab

3-on-6 is the most involved option on this list. If you want a stable result with less surgery and cost, these are the options we make in our own lab:

• Snap-on dentures clip onto two to four implants placed by your dentist. Our denture fee is $2,200-$4,200 per arch, and the implant surgery is quoted separately by your dentist. Far fewer implants than a full-arch bridge.
• Full dentures from $1,100 per arch, made and fitted here, with no surgery.
• Immediate dentures from $1,450 per arch, fitted the same day your teeth come out, so you are never without teeth.
• Relines from $290 if your current denture is loose and you are not ready to replace it.

Not sure which fits? Book a denture assessment and we will tell you plainly what suits your mouth and budget, including when implants are worth it.
