3-on-6 dental implants replace a full arch of teeth using six implants that carry three connected prosthetic bridge sections. At Periovital Clinic in Tijuana, board-trained periodontist Dr. Ilse Lugo personally plans and places every 3-on-6 case, offering patients near San Diego a stable, natural-looking and well-supported full-arch restoration.

What is 3-on-6 Dental Implants?

3-on-6 is a specialized full-arch restoration in which six strategically placed implants support three fixed bridge segments that together replace a complete row of teeth. By dividing the arch into three sections over six implants, the technique makes efficient use of the implants while keeping the final result strong and stable. It offers a more efficient use of implants than some traditional full-mouth methods, which can mean a more streamlined process without sacrificing the quality of the outcome.

This approach gives patients a durable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth in an arch, restoring both oral function and the appearance of a complete smile. Because the prosthetic teeth are custom-matched to your existing smile, the finished result blends in naturally with your face.

Benefits of 3-on-6 Dental Implants

  • Enhanced stability: six implants form a robust foundation that keeps the bridge sections secure during biting and chewing.
  • Natural appearance: the prosthetic teeth are custom-designed to match your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
  • Less bone loss: the implants stimulate the jawbone, helping reduce the bone resorption that follows tooth loss.
  • Efficient design: three connected segments on six implants make practical use of each post while maintaining strength.
  • Fixed restoration: the bridges stay firmly anchored, unlike a removable denture.

Am I a candidate for 3-on-6 Dental Implants?

3-on-6 in Tijuana is a good fit for adults who need to replace multiple missing teeth across an arch and want a fixed, stable bridge solution supported by implants. Adequate jawbone to anchor six implants is important, and the implants themselves help preserve that bone over time. Dr. Ilse Lugo confirms whether 3-on-6 is appropriate at your free initial consultation, which includes a 3D CBCT scan so your bone and anatomy are evaluated precisely before planning.

How much does 3-on-6 Dental Implants cost in Tijuana?

3-on-6 cost in Tijuana is well below typical US and Canada pricing, with most patients saving 50 to 70% compared with home. Rather than list a generic price, Periovital provides an itemized written quote at your free consultation, so every part of the treatment is spelled out with no surprises and no upsell. You also receive itemized receipts suitable for FSA and HSA reimbursement.

Why choose Periovital for 3-on-6 Dental Implants?

  • Total treatment time is typically 3–6 months from surgery to final bridge. Implants are placed in a single surgery and you walk out with fixed temporary teeth the same day. The healing phase (osseointegration) takes 3–6 months while you wear the temporary, then the final zirconia bridge is fitted.

  • Yes. We always send patients home with a fixed temporary bridge attached to the implants the same day as surgery. You never have to be without teeth.

  • Periovital All-on procedures run about 60–70% less than equivalent US care. Final pricing depends on the specific configuration (number of implants, material choices). Every patient gets an itemized written quote at the consultation, with no upsell and no surprises.

  • Most adults with multiple missing teeth or severely compromised teeth are candidates. Dr. Lugo evaluates bone volume, gum health, bite, and overall medical status. Patients with diabetes, smokers, and those with limited bone often still qualify, and we'll know for certain after the CBCT scan.

  • We run a free shuttle from San Diego and our coordinator handles hotel referrals, scheduling, and cross-border paperwork. Most patients combine the consultation and surgery into a 2–4 day trip.

Great experience you can have with the dentist. They did my tooth extraction and bone graft all in an hour with no pain. This coming from someone who hates the dentist. Highly recommend.

For the first time ever, I enjoyed my visit from beginning to end to the dentist. Clean & aesthetically pleasing office, happy and helpful staff, and I was able to schedule my appointment within a day. Dr. Lugo and team showed me the problem areas and explained the process to correct. I learned more about my gums in this visit then in years prior in the USA. The team speak Spanish and English and the price for service was outstanding in comparison to what I usually pay.

Puedo empezar diciendo que es la mejor clínica que he podido encontrar — son un equipo muy bueno y profesional. Mi experiencia fue excelente, la Dra. Ilse Lugo me ayudó mucho y me aconsejó lo mejor. Ella me hizo un transplante de encías. Nunca pensé que eso se podía hacer. Ahora estoy muy agradecida con esta decisión que tomé y la confianza que regresó a mí misma.
