3-on-6 Dental Implant System in Turkey
The 3-on-6 system restores a full arch using six implants that support three separate fixed bridges — rather than one single full-arch bridge. Splitting the arch into three segments brings some practical advantages: easier cleaning between sections, and simpler repair if a single segment ever needs attention, without affecting the rest.
It’s a stable, fixed and natural-looking full-arch solution. At GD Smile Studio in Istanbul, your 3-on-6 treatment is digitally planned and every implant carries a lifetime guarantee.
How the 3-on-6 system works
Six implants are placed across the arch, and three individual bridges (each covering part of the arch) are fixed onto them. This segmented design is what sets 3-on-6 apart from a one-piece full-arch bridge:
- Three segments instead of one solid bridge
- Easier to clean between sections
- A single segment can be serviced alone
- Stable, fixed, natural-looking result
3-on-6 vs a one-piece full-arch bridge
Both replace a full arch on implants — the difference is whether the teeth are one solid piece or three sections:
| 3-on-6 | One-piece full arch | |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge design | 3 separate fixed bridges | 1 solid bridge |
| Implants | 6 | 4–8 depending on plan |
| Cleaning | Easier between segments | Cleaned as one unit |
| Repairs | Segment serviced on its own | Whole bridge involved |
| Feel | Fixed & natural | Fixed & natural |
Who is a candidate for 3-on-6?
- Adults missing most or all teeth in a jaw
- People with loose or unstable dentures
- Those wanting easy-to-maintain fixed teeth
- Patients with adequate jawbone volume
The simplest way to confirm is a free assessment of your X-rays.
The 3-on-6 procedure, step by step
Consultation & planning
We review your X-ray or CT scan and plan the six implant positions digitally — free and with no obligation.
Implant placement
Six implants are placed into the jawbone in a single session under local anaesthesia, with IV sedation available.
Temporary teeth
You leave the clinic with temporary fixed prosthetics the same day, so you’re never without teeth.
Final three-bridge restoration
After healing, your three custom bridges are fitted onto the implants for a permanent, natural-looking result.
Treatment is typically completed in two visits within about 3 months, with healing in between while the implants integrate.
Recovery & aftercare
The procedure is carried out painlessly under local anaesthesia; only minor discomfort or swelling is possible afterwards and settles quickly. You’ll start on softer foods while the implants integrate over roughly three months, then return to a normal diet.
The segmented design makes day-to-day cleaning straightforward. Keeping up good oral hygiene and regular check-ups is the key to a long-lasting result. For international patients we provide remote follow-up by WhatsApp, email or video call.
