What are 3-ON-8 dental implants?
3-ON-8 dental implants replace a full arch of teeth using eight titanium implants to support fixed, screw-retained teeth. In Dr. Jose Moguel’s protocol, the final restoration is delivered as three segmented zirconia bridges per arch, designed for strong bite support, predictable function, and easier long-term maintenance.
How 3-ON-8 protocol works
The protocol is built around two ideas: stronger foundation and segmented fixed teeth. Eight implants per arch are placed in strategic positions to distribute chewing forces. After healing, three separate zirconia bridges are fabricated to work together as one smile. The segmented design makes the restoration feel stable and also reduces the “all-or-nothing” risk of a single long bridge.
Titanium implants –
the foundation
- Eight medical grade titanium implants per arch are placed in strategic positions.
- These implants are designed to integrate with your jawbone and act as artificial roots.
- The distribution of 8 implants provides more support and redundancy than lower implant counts.
Segmented zirconia bridges –
three per arch
- Instead of one long full arch bridge, 3-ON-8 uses three individual zirconia bridges per arch.
- Each bridge is screw retained on several implants, which improves stability and load sharing.
- Zirconia is chosen for its strength, durability and natural looking tooth color.
Regenerative technologies that support healing
- When clinically indicated, 3-ON-8 may include bone grafting to rebuild resorbed areas.
- PRP / PRF, laser and ozone therapies can be used to support healing and reduce bacteria.
- These additional treatments help create a favorable environment for long term implant success.
3-ON-8 vs. ALL-ON-4 and ALL-ON-6
If you are choosing between full-arch options, the two things that matter most are (1) how many implants support your bite and (2) whether your teeth are one long bridge or a segmented design. Those choices affect stability, redundancy, and how simple it is to service the restoration later.
ALL-ON-4 uses four implants per arch and is usually the most budget-friendly fixed option. ALL-ON-6 uses six implants per arch to add support and improve load distribution. 3-ON-8 uses eight implants per arch and delivers three segmented zirconia bridges per arch, which adds the highest support and the most “backup” if one area ever needs service.

Who is a good candidate for 3-ON-8?
3-ON-8 is designed for patients restoring a full upper arch, lower arch, or full mouth who want a fixed solution with maximum stability. Candidacy depends on health history, smoking status, bone levels, and clinical goals. Dr. Moguel’s team confirms eligibility using an exam and 3D imaging. 3-ON-8 is the right choice for you if:
- You want fixed teeth, not removable dentures
- You want a higher-implant-count solution for added support
- You want segmented zirconia bridges for long-term serviceability
- You prefer a solution that makes segment level maintenance and repairs simpler in the future
- You are traveling to Los Algodones and want an all-inclusive pathway

Frequently asked questions about 3-ON-8
Your 3-ON-8 cost depends on whether you are restoring one arch or both arches, how many extractions you need, your bone quality, and whether grafting or additional regenerative support is recommended.
Many patients choose Mexico because the overall cost is typically significantly lower than comparable treatment in the U.S., even after travel. 3-ON-8 is the premium full-arch option, so it is usually priced above ALL-ON-4 and ALL-ON-6. The most accurate way to know your price is a personalized quote after diagnostics and treatment planning.
Both options replace a full arch with fixed teeth supported by implants. With 3-ON-8, you typically receive eight implants per arch and three segmented zirconia bridges, which increases support and adds redundancy. ALL-ON-4 uses four implants per arch and commonly supports a single full-arch bridge.
3-ON-8 is positioned as the premium option for patients who want maximum stability and a segmented design. ALL-ON-4 is often chosen when you want a fixed solution with a lower implant count and a lower overall investment. Your bone levels, bite forces, and goals determine which option fits you best.
Most full-arch cases are completed in two main visits, with a healing period in between. Your first visit is typically focused on surgery and temporary teeth. In our recommended journey, that visit is planned as about five days in Los Algodones.
After the surgery, you usually heal for several months while the implants integrate. Once you are ready, you return for the final zirconia bridges and bite adjustments. Your exact timeline depends on healing, grafting needs, and your treatment plan.
Safety depends on the clinic, the surgical team, and your individual health profile. Los Algodones has a long history as a dental tourism destination, and many international patients travel there for full-arch treatment.To keep your treatment as predictable as possible, you should share your full medical history, follow the pre-op and post-op instructions, and plan for appropriate recovery time. If you have complex medical conditions, it can also help to discuss your travel and surgery plans with your primary physician
Dental implants are designed as a long-term foundation. When they integrate well and you maintain good oral hygiene, they can last many years, and often decades.
Zirconia bridges are highly durable, but every restoration can require maintenance over time, especially if you grind your teeth or have a heavy bite. Regular checkups, professional cleanings, and wearing a nightguard when recommended can help protect your result.
Packages vary by case, but an all-inclusive plan typically combines diagnostics, surgical planning, implant placement, temporary teeth for the healing phase, and final zirconia bridges. When clinically needed, it can also include extractions, grafting, sedation options, and regenerative support.
Your written treatment plan and quote should clearly list what is included for you. If you want, you can request a detailed breakdown during your consultation so you can compare options with confidence.
