Most of our offices work with just about all dental insurance companies to help you maximize your dental benefits for the work you receive.

If you have good credit (score of 600 or higher), chances are you will qualify for financing. If you don’t have good credit, your provider may still be able to help you with payments, but will require a down payment and a steady income.

Many patients travel to receive 3 on 6™ treatment. Check with the office you're considering to find out how many trips you might expect to complete treatment. The office manager at your location will also be happy to help you plan travel and lodging.

Our 3 on 6™ patients often thousands of dollars when compared to other comparable treatment plans. Our licensed offices pride themselves on being able to offer the most competitive prices in the market. Because implants and full mouth restorations are all that we do, we get great deals on the supplies and equipment we use and our doctors are quicker and more efficient. We are also able to offer significant savings by using our own in-house lab instead of an outside lab like most offices.

Our doctors make sure that treatment is as pleasant as possible. Most providers offer general anesthesia with a dedicated anesthesiologist if you'd prefer to just sleep through the entire procedure and wake up with a beautiful new smile. Some may offer IV sedation or other options. Please check with your provider. Similar to most trips to the dentist, you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. While most patients have some level of pain in the week after surgery, most patients can manage it with over-the-counter Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Your provider may also prescribe medication in case you have pain that can't be managed with OTC medications.

Most patients feel good enough to return to work within a couple days after surgery. After the implants are placed, you will generally require a 3-4 month healing period (on a soft foods diet) for the implants before your final restorations are placed.

Absolutely not! You will leave the office the day of surgery with a beautiful new smile. During the time that the implants are healing you will have temporary bridges or in rare cases a removable option like a denture. Rest assured, you will never leave our office without teeth in your mouth!

Your doctor will work with you on getting the look of your teeth that you want, taking into consideration that a long-lasting, healthy smile are given top priority.

During your consultation, you will receive a 3D scan of your mouth and jaw bones. The health and amount of bone you have will be very important to determine whether or not you are eligible for a 3 on 6™. Your doctor will let you know during your consultation which procedures you are a candidate for.

Some patients have been told they don't have enough bone for implants when in reality they do. In cases where there is significant bone loss, there may still be solutions with the help of bone grafting or specialized zygomatic/pterygoid implants. We can often find a solution where other offices may not. It is only a small percentage of patients who don't have enough bone for the 3 on 6™. For those patients, we can usually offer another solution like the All-on-X.

The All-on-X is a larger, bulkier restoration that can feel unnatural in your mouth. Because of its size, it often requires removing bone to create space for it in your mouth. It is sometimes the best option when there is already severe bone loss. Some drawbacks to the All-on-X is that it can trap food and should be removed periodically for cleanings and to prevent infection. It is also a single unit restoration which reduces implant stimulation and increases the chances of bone and tissue loss. The 3 on 6™ uses three segmented bridges that are attached using six implants in an arch. Only the teeth are replaced so there are no fake acrylic gums, making it feel similar to having your natural teeth in your mouth again. Bone doesn't have to be removed and the six implants on segmented bridges increases implant stimulation to protect against bone loss. In addition, the 3 on 6™ does not need to be removed for cleanings or maintenance.

Most people experience a gag reflex with dentures because it can feel like using a large plastic mouth guard. It can also cause irritation and pain, speech problems, and reduce the ability to taste foods. In addition, glues must be used to prevent the denture from slipping out. Some of the glue will be ingested which is uncomfortable and unhealthy. Denture users also must avoid certain foods. Since dentures don’t provide any bone support, the bone in your jaw slowly deteriorates when you wear a denture. This changes the shape of your mouth, making it so that you’ll need to use more glue and eventually replace your dentures every few years. Dentures should be the last option for someone considering smile restoration.

Maintaining your new 3 on 6™ smile will be similar to taking care of regular teeth. If you keep them clean they should last the rest of your life. You’ll still need to brush and floss, and we highly recommend the use of a waterflosser to help keep your implants and gums very clean. Patients should schedule regular dental cleanings every 6 months. The cleanings are standard and nothing has to be removed. We also recommend you avoid smoking and drugs as these things can affect your bone density and implant longevity. A healthy diet and regular exercise will contribute to your dental and overall health.
