3-on-6 Dental Implants & Full Mouth Restoration with Dr. Porchia James

If you are searching for a long-lasting solution for missing or failing teeth, our 3-on-6 dental implant procedure offers a secure, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. At our practice, we specialize in full mouth dental implants and advanced implant-supported bridges designed to restore both function and confidence.  You keep more jawbone and gums for a beautiful natural smile.

​

What to Expect During Your 3-on-6 Procedure

The 3-on-6 dental implant procedure typically takes 4–6 hours, depending on whether you are restoring one arch (upper or lower) or undergoing a full mouth restoration.  Using state-of-the-art technology and precision surgical techniques, Dr. James places six dental implants per arch to support a fixed, non-removable bridge. Before you leave the office, your same-day temporary bridge will be securely attached, so you walk out with a functional, beautiful smile the very same day.

​

Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next 3–4 months, your dental implants will integrate naturally with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This healing phase allows your bone and gums to stabilize, creating a strong, long-term foundation for your permanent teeth.  This step is essential to ensure your final restoration fits with maximum precision, comfort, and durability.

​

Your Custom Zirconia Bridge

Once healing is complete, we begin crafting your final zirconia bridge, a premium material known for its strength, aesthetics, and longevity. This phase takes place over 5–6 weeks and includes several appointments to perfect your smile design.

​

During this time, you will work closely with Dr. James to customize:

• Tooth shape and size

• Smile symmetry

• Shade and brightness

• Overall facial harmony

The result is a fully customized, natural-looking smile built to last for years.
