What are \”all-on-8\” implants?
Losing your natural teeth affects your smile and hinders your ability to chew and speak clearly. Fortunately, dental implants are the ideal solution to your problem.
Overview of All-on-8 dental implants in Tunisia
Dental implants All-on-8 in Tunisia are a type of dental procedure in which eight implants are placed in each jaw and serve as anchors for a fixed dental bridge.
All-on-8 implants in Tunis are intended for patients whose entire arch needs to be replaced. Even distribution of chewing forces on the implants is necessary for a perfect smile, comfort, and long-term health of the implants and bone.
Because the load distribution is properly balanced in the All-on-8 concept, each implant is subject to less occlusal stress during chewing than in the All-on-4 concept.
Furthermore, All-on-8 implants offer a wider range of prosthetic options than All-on-4 implants. Since the distance between each dental implant on an arch is minimal, a dental bridge can be made from aesthetic materials like porcelain or zirconia. Eight implants support a bridge of 12 to 14 teeth.
What is the procedure for All-on-8 dental implants in Tunisia?
Step 1 - Consultation
You will need to visit your clinic for an in-depth consultation before starting your All-on-8 dental implant treatment in Tunisia. They will take X-rays and diagnostic scans to check if your jawbone is sufficient for the procedure. If not, you may need a bone graft.
Step 2 - Placement
An implantologist will place the implants into your jaw, which takes about 2 to 4 hours. Then, a temporary prosthesis is attached immediately.
Step 3 - Recovery
It takes about three months to heal, during which the gums and bone reshape to adapt to the implants. After complete osseointegration, we will take digital impressions to craft the permanent prosthesis. This could be a removable denture or a fixed bridge, depending on your preference.
Who can opt for All-on-8 dental implants?
We recommend All-on-8 dental implants in Tunisia to patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or who plan to have remaining teeth extracted and restored with implants. These implants offer a stable, long-term solution compared to ordinary dentures.
Diabetes is not a contraindication in itself: it is blood sugar control that matters, with good control significantly reducing the risk of peri-implantitis. Regarding smoking, available studies remain inconclusive[1].
What is the difference from a complete removable denture?
The fixed implant-supported prosthesis is screwed in and cannot be removed, whereas a complete denture rests on the gums. The comparative review gives the fixed solution better chewing efficiency and more stability, albeit with more technical and regular maintenance[2].
How much do all-on-8 implants cost?
The cost of All-on-8 dental implants in Tunisia is reasonable. Fees include extraction, the procedure, temporary prosthesis, and permanent bridge.
However, the cost varies depending on the type of permanent prosthesis you select and the implant brand you choose. Additionally, the price increases if a bone graft is needed: its cost depends on the volume to be rebuilt and is itemised on the quote.
FAQ All-on-8 Dental Implants
What are the benefits of All-on-8 dental implants?
All-on-8 offers aesthetic prosthetic options, evenly distributes chewing force, and limits jawbone resorption. The result closely resembles natural teeth, both in appearance and function. The bridge remains permanently screwed in.
How should I care for my implants?
Their longevity depends primarily on aftercare: peri-implantitis affects 19.5% of implant patients[3]. Brushing alone cannot clean the area under the bridge; a water flosser can reach where brushes and floss cannot.
Do I need a special routine during osseointegration?
During the healing period, watch what you eat. Avoid chewy, sticky, or hard foods. It is also essential to keep the area under the temporary prosthesis clean to prevent infection.
Is eight implants better than four or six?
The only comparative meta-analysis looks at four versus six implants: it finds no difference in survival, but lower marginal bone loss with six[4]. Beyond six, no published comparative data allows a firm conclusion. See All-on-6 in Tunisia.
Is getting All-on-8 painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation; it is not painful. The following days bring some swelling and discomfort when chewing, managed with prescribed painkillers. The discomfort subsides within about a week.
Is All-on-8 covered by the NHS?
In the UK, dental implants themselves are typically not covered by the NHS unless medically necessary. Some private dental insurance plans may offer partial coverage, but it varies widely. Since this treatment is sought abroad, we advise you to check with your insurance provider about coverage for treatment overseas.
How much does a full fixed dental prosthesis cost in Tunisia?
An All-on-8 costs £4,900 to £7,600 per jaw in Tunisia, compared to £16,000 in the UK. The quote covers the eight implants, temporary prosthesis, and definitive bridge. Bridge material and implant brand influence the final total.
When can I fly home after surgery?
Your return flight is arranged at the end of your stay, after the post-operative check-up and with the practitioner’s approval. Pressure changes do not damage the implants, but any active bleeding or swelling should be monitored on the ground rather than in the air.
