In the late 1990s, the All-on-4 procedure gained worldwide attention for its ability to replace an entire set of teeth using just four dental implants. For patients who had been living with dentures or severe dental problems, it seemed revolutionary — a faster, more secure alternative that could restore a full smile in a single treatment. Its popularity grew quickly, and it became the go-to solution for many full-arch restorations. But as the years passed, some significant drawbacks began to surface. To make room for the prosthetic, healthy bone and gum tissue were often removed, permanently altering the mouth’s natural structure. This led to a smile that, while functional, relied on artificial gum material to replace what had been lost — sometimes leaving patients with a less natural look and feel. Additionally, the bulky design of many All-on-4 prosthetics made cleaning more difficult, contributing to long-term maintenance challenges. The 3 on 6™ approach was created to solve these issues. Instead of removing healthy tissue, it preserves your natural bone and gums to create a smile that is fully fixed, completely natural-looking, and easier to maintain. By placing three individual bridges on six implants, the 3 on 6™ delivers the same security patients loved about All-on-4 — but with improved health, aesthetics, and long-term comfort. It’s a modern, innovative alternative that preserves what nature gave you while restoring what you’ve lost.
