3-On-6™ FAQs
Common questions about 3-On-6™ full-arch treatment. If yours isn't here, call us.
How much does 3-On-6™ cost?
3-On-6™ with zirconia bridges is approximately $34,950 per arch, including your consultation, 3D planning, surgery, temporary teeth and final bridges. Your fee is confirmed in a written quote. Payment plans and early release of super may help — see Pricing & Packages.
Will there be any extra costs?
Your written quote lists everything included. The most likely extras are a CBCT scan at an external radiology clinic, bone grafting if it's needed, and travel and accommodation if you're coming from outside Hobart. We'll tell you about any of these before you commit.
How many implants does 3-On-6™ use?
Usually six implants in the lower jaw and six to seven in the upper, supporting three separate bridges.
Am I suitable for 3-On-6™?
Most adults with failing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can be assessed. Suitability depends on your bone, gum health and general health. Your consultation and CBCT scan will show whether 3-On-6™ suits you, and if it doesn't, we'll explain the alternatives.
Can I clean 3-On-6™ bridges like natural teeth?
Yes. Because there are gaps between the three bridges, you can brush, floss and use interdental brushes around each implant. Regular maintenance visits are still essential.
How long does treatment take?
Usually about three months from surgery to your final bridges. The surgery happens over two days in Hobart, and you leave with fixed temporary teeth.
Can I have a consultation if I live interstate?
Yes. The consultation can be done by telehealth, and we'll refer you for a CBCT scan near home. Most patients need two or three trips to Hobart in total. See travelling to Hobart for treatment.
What is recovery like?
Expect swelling and discomfort for the first few days, usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief. You'll be on a soft diet while your implants heal, and we'll give you written instructions.
I'm anxious about surgery. What can you offer?
Let us know at your consultation. We'll explain each step and plan breaks. Nitrous oxide is available, and we can discuss whether general anaesthesia suits you for full-arch surgery. See sedation options.
What if one bridge needs repair?
Because 3-On-6™ uses three separate bridges, one can usually be removed by your dentist and repaired without disturbing the others. Your implants and bridges are covered by our 10-year guarantee, subject to regular check-ups.
