Dental Implant FAQ'S
The 3-on-6 Implants procedure involves several steps:
- Consultation: A dental professional evaluates your oral health and creates a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: Six implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Healing Phase: A healing period is required for the implants to integrate with the bone.
- Prosthetic Attachment: Once healed, a custom prosthetic is attached to the implants.
Candidates typically include individuals with multiple missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density. A thorough consultation will determine if you are a suitable candidate and if any preparatory procedures are needed.

The benefits of 3-on-6 dental implants at Perio Vital Clinic include:
- Enhanced stability and durability for a secure bite.
- A natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Prevention of bone loss in the jaw, promoting long-term oral health.
- A quicker recovery time compared to traditional full-arch solutions.
The timeline can vary, but the initial implant placement can often be completed in one visit. The healing phase may take several months, depending on individual factors. Once healed, attaching the prosthetic typically takes a few weeks, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure due to local anesthesia. Post-operative pain can usually be managed with prescribed medications and typically subsides within a few days.

Caring for your implants involves regular brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth. Routine dental check-ups are essential to monitor the health of your implants and overall oral hygiene.
With proper care and maintenance, 3-on-6 dental implants can last many years, often up to 10-15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene practices are crucial for their longevity.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, implant failure, or nerve damage. However, these risks are relatively low when performed by an experienced dental professional.
