Replace your missing teeth with a 3 on 6™ in Mexico and enjoy savings of up to 70% when booking with Dental Departures.

This innovative full mouth restoration procedure replaces all of the teeth on your upper, lower or both jaws, using six implants. It is seen as a more secure, convenient and aesthetically impressive alternative to traditional dentures, and in most cases multiple single implants.

What Is a 3 on 6?

If you have never heard of a 3 on 6, there may be a good reason why: this revolutionary new procedure was only pioneered in 2015 by Dr. Randy Roberts as an alternative to other treatments, such as dentures or All-on-4s® .

As the name suggests, the system uses six implants per jaw onto which three separate bridges are attached (two implants supporting each bridge). Made from zirconia or porcelain, these bridges perfectly align with each other to complete a full arch of straight white replacement teeth.

The bridges never need to be removed and patients are simply advised to maintain a conventional oral hygiene routine, including daily flossing and brushing.

What Are the Advantages of 3 on 6?

Benefits of a 3 on 6 smile restoration:

• Provides a natural-looking white smile

• Restores full function: patients are able to eat, speak and laugh normally without worrying they will fall out

• Low maintenance; patients need not return the dentist once they have been fitted, nor take them out for cleaning every night (as with dentures)

• The three separate bridges provide excellent support and are able to withstand strong biting pressure

• Teeth are aligned against the natural gum line, preserving the existing jaw bone

• 3 on 6 treatment is competitively priced compared to other implant-supported teeth replacement systems

What Does 3 on 6 Treatment in Mexico Involve?

Your treatment in Mexico will be divided into two stages:

1. The placement of six implants (or 12 in the case where teeth in both jaws are being replaced). Impressions or 3D images of the mouth are also made during this first appointment so that the three bridges fit snuggly upon your return.

2. The placement of the made-to-measure bridges (one front bridge and two side bridges per jaw).

This second stage can only be completed once the implants have fused with the jawbone ( during a process called osseointegration ) and the gums have fully healed. This can take between four and six months; thus, two trips to your chosen dentist in Mexico are required.

While two journeys abroad are required, patients booking through our site are still able to realize considerable savings—a testament to how much more affordable 3 on 6 treatment is in Mexico.

Note: If a patient has any remaining teeth, these will need to be extracted either in Mexico or at your local dentist 3 on 6 before treatment commences.

How Can I Know 3 on 6 Treatment Is for Me?

Three on six procedures are typically carried out on middle-aged or older patients seeking a full mouth makeover due to tooth loss or damage. In general, good bone density is required. Upon arrival in Mexico, your dentist will confirm your suitability by inspecting your mouth, as well as conducting diagnostic tests using digital x-rays and other state-of-the-art equipment, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

To save an unnecessary journey, you may wish to arrange for x-rays taken at your local dentist and sent to your dentist in Mexico who will be able to provide an initial recommendation. Our Customer Care Team can assist with this, at no charge to you.
