An implant-supported fixed bridge on six titanium posts—better known as an “All-on-6” or “All on Six”—could be a life-changing solution if you are missing all or most of your teeth.

Instead of paying potentially over GBP 30,000 back home for a full mouth rehabilitation, why not travel to Giza , across the Nile from Cario in Egypt and save up to 70% when booking with Dental Departures.

dental bridge is essentially a prosthetic bridge of replacement teeth attached to an abutment secured onto one or more dental implants. A full-arch bridge comprised of a whole row of replacement teeth ( porcelain crowns), attached to six dental implants for this particular procedure.

It should also be noted that other systems using different dental implant brands may use any number of implants (usually between four and eight), depending on your particular circumstances and the specialist’s opinion.

The permanent bridge sits under the gumline like your original teeth, with the All-on-6 in Giza presenting the following advantages:

• Better stability: you can eat any food you want

• They don't slip or fall out—particularly when eating and talking

• No need to remove them: clean and maintain them just like your own teeth

• You don't have to remove and clean them every night.

• Excellent quality aesthetics and natural look

• In Egypt, it’s much more affordable than back home

Consultation, evaluations and the dental implant surgery, whereby six titanium posts are then inserted into the jawbone and the gum stitched over the implant. Estimated duration of stay in Giza: 3-5 days.

It will take around three to four months for the implant to properly fuse with the bone and for the gums to heal.

2. Final restoration, where an abutment (or "cap") is affixed to the now-secure implant. These abutments allow for the full-arch fixed bridge to be permanently secured in place. Estimated duration of stay in Giza: 3-5 days.

With a trip to Egypt, however, patients can expect to make savings of at least two-thirds compared to dentists in the UK, Germany and the US, as the table below shows:
