What is All-on-6?
This procedure is typically performed to reconstruct a patient’s mouth when they have lost a significant number of teeth in one or both jaws. It allows the patient to replace an entire jaw of teeth with six natural-looking dental implants.
All-On-6 in Tunisia dental implants typically do not require a bone graft, making them the ideal solution for patients with low jawbone density or volume.
Since its introduction, many patients have benefited from restored teeth, and the All-On-6® dental implant offers patients a stronger and healthier replacement for dentures.
All-on-4 or All-on-6: how many implants are needed?
The meta-analysis comparing the two configurations in the maxilla finds no difference in survival of implants or prostheses. However, it does report lower marginal bone loss with six implants[1]. The cost of All-on-4 in Tunisia is lower, with equivalent technique and materials.
HOW DO ALL-ON-6® DENTAL IMPLANTS WORK?
The All-On-6 dental implant procedure in Tunisia allows for the creation of a permanent prosthesis using six dental implants. They serve as anchors for a bridge or denture.
Six implants are placed in the lower or upper jaw to permanently anchor the prosthetic teeth. After a thorough examination using digital X-rays and a cone-beam 3D scan, the dentist assesses the anatomical structures of the mouth.
The dentist will then assess bone loss and take impressions to create your new smile.
Over time, the implants placed in the jaw will fuse with the jawbone, acting as natural roots and restoring a natural smile.
BEFORE THE ALL-ON-6 DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE
The All-On-6® procedure typically does not require a bone graft. It may be necessary depending on the patient’s bone density. The dentist will evaluate and examine the mouth before beginning the procedure and will inform you accordingly.
DURING THE ALL-ON-6 DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE
The doctor places dental implants into the jaw while the patient is under local anaesthesia or IV sedation. A temporary prosthesis can then be attached to the implants during healing to give you a beautiful smile on the same day.
AFTER THE ALL-ON-6 DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE
During the first three months after the procedure, your mouth will heal. The bone and gums will change shape to accommodate the new restoration. During this period, patients should avoid eating hard or very chewy foods. After the implants fuse with the jawbone, a permanent solution is placed on the implants, such as a dental bridge or fixed denture.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ALL-ON-6 DENTAL IMPLANT
- Fast recovery.
- Enjoy meals and conversations again.
- Pearl-white smile.
- No need for removable dentures.
- Instantly reverses ageing.
- Can bite and chew food just like natural teeth.
- A lifetime solution. Dental implants are often a permanent solution for missing teeth.
WHO NEEDS ALL-ON-6® DENTAL IMPLANTS?
All-On-6® dental implant treatment is recommended for patients with a full arch of missing teeth. It is also suitable for patients with partial tooth loss who wish to have a full-arch dental implant replacing existing teeth.
The All-On-6® procedure offers a stable, long-term alternative to traditional dentures.
What is the difference from a removable denture?
An implant-supported prosthesis is screwed in and does not come out, whereas a complete denture rests on the gum. The comparative review gives the fixed solution better chewing efficiency and greater stability, at the cost of more technical maintenance[2]. Quality of life improves in both cases.
ROUTINE DENTAL CHECK-UPS AFTER ALL-ON-6® DENTAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT.
After the procedure, patients should see their dentist regularly, especially during the first three months, and then two or three times a year. To avoid complications or infections, it is essential to contact your dentist immediately if anything seems abnormal.
Once your dental implants are stable, ongoing care combined with good oral hygiene will give you a perfect smile and excellent oral health.
Accurate diagnosis and precise implant planning are essential for successful implant rehabilitation. Precise impressions and meticulous attention to detail form the foundation of successful implant prosthodontics.
A thorough understanding of the range of prosthetic components is essential and is often only acquired through clinical experience. When patients have no teeth, the face appears sunken, making the person look much older than they are; the ideal tooth placement instantly reverses ageing.
Dental implants restore a balanced, natural smile and give the lower face the support that tooth loss had removed.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Is having All-on-6 painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation: it is not painful. The following days involve swelling and discomfort when chewing, which are managed with prescribed painkillers. The discomfort subsides within about a week. A check-up is scheduled before you leave.
How long does an All-on-6 last?
Available data show no difference in survival between a four-implant and a six-implant configuration, but marginal bone loss is lower with six[1]. The actual lifespan depends mainly on follow-up and hygiene, not the number of implants.
What are the possible risks and complications?
The most common complication is peri-implantitis, an inflammation that destroys the bone around the implant. The reference meta-analysis estimates it affects 19.5% of patients and 12.5% of implants[3]. It is detected during check-ups before it becomes visible, and the earlier it is treated, the better the outcome.
Does diabetes or smoking prevent implant placement?
In diabetic patients, good glycaemic control significantly reduces the risk of peri-implantitis[4]. For smoking, studies on cessation remain inconclusive: regular follow-up matters most, as lack of check-ups increases the risk of failure 3.8-fold[4].
Should you choose titanium or zirconia?
Zirconia is offered as a supplement for the prosthesis framework, not for the implants themselves, which remain titanium. The reference review identifies all-acrylic prosthesis fracture as the main prosthetic complication[5], which explains the option.
Is All-on-6 covered by the NHS?
In the UK, dental implants are generally not covered by the NHS unless there is a medical need. Private dental insurance may provide partial coverage, but this varies widely between policies. Ask for a detailed quote before your trip to submit it to your insurer.
When can I fly after the procedure?
The return flight is arranged at the end of your stay, after the post-operative check-up and once the practitioner gives the go-ahead. Changes in pressure do not damage the implants, but any active bleeding or swelling should be monitored on the ground rather than in the air. Plan to walk during the journey.
