All-on-6 Implant result
Diagnosis
The patient presented with near-total upper arch failure and significant bone resorption in the posterior regions. Multiple extractions were required before implant placement could proceed.
Treatment plan
A patient from Italy travelled to Worldwide Dental and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City after receiving quotes exceeding EUR 25,000 for full-arch implant treatment in Europe. Near-total upper arch failure and posterior bone loss had made conventional restoration impossible. An All-on-6 protocol was identified as the best long-term solution.
The surgical team at Worldwide Hospital extracted remaining failing teeth and placed six implants across the upper jaw in a single procedure. The greater number of implants provided superior load distribution compared to an All-on-4 solution, particularly for patients with heavier biting forces. A provisional bridge was seated the same day, and the definitive prosthesis was delivered after the healing period.
Total treatment cost at Worldwide Hospital was USD 7,500. The same procedure in Italy or elsewhere in Western Europe typically costs USD 22,000 to 28,000. The patient used the savings to combine treatment with an extended stay in southern Vietnam.
Frequently asked questions: All-on-6 Full-Arch Implants at Worldwide Hospital for an Italian Patient
Questions patients commonly ask after reading this story about dental treatment in Italy.
- How much did this patient save on All-on-6 in Italy?
- This patient paid USD $7,500 for All-on-6 in Italy, compared to an at-home quote of USD $28,000, a saving of USD $20,500 (73%). Dental treatment costs in Italy are typically 60 to 80 percent lower than equivalent private dental care in Australia, the UK, or the United States, primarily because of lower clinic overheads and labour costs rather than any difference in materials or technology.
- How long does All-on-6 take in Italy?
- This patient's All-on-6 treatment in Italy took 6 days. Treatment timelines vary depending on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the healing interval between implant placement and final crown or bridge fitting. A SmileJet treatment plan quote will include a personalised timeline based on your X-rays and clinical photos.
- Is All-on-6 in Italy as safe as getting it done at home?
- Implant survival rates in accredited Italy clinics are comparable to Western standards. The Moraschini 2015 meta-analysis of 7,711 implants reported a pooled 5-year survival rate of 94.6 percent, consistent with outcomes published by US and European implant societies. SmileJet partner clinics are independently verified for practitioner credentials, sterilisation protocols, and implant brand traceability before listing. Patients receive all clinical records and X-rays digitally for their home dentist.
- What implant brands are available at SmileJet partner clinics in Italy?
- SmileJet partner clinics in Italy carry internationally recognised implant brands including Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Sweden/US), Osstem (South Korea), and BioHorizons (US). The specific brand available depends on the clinic; your treatment plan quote will specify which brand is recommended for your case and why.
- How did this patient find and choose a dental clinic in Italy?
- This patient used SmileJet to request a written treatment plan and cost estimate from verified clinics in Italy. SmileJet verified clinics are screened for practitioner credentials, hygiene standards, implant brand traceability, and English-language patient coordination before listing. The patient submitted dental X-rays and a description of the problem, received a written plan within 48 hours, and booked directly through the platform. The process is free and carries no obligation to proceed.
- Can you fly home after All-on-6 surgery in Italy?
- Most patients fly home 7 to 14 days after implant surgery, once the surgical sites are stable and temporary restorations are fitted. Long-haul flights (over 8 hours) are generally fine after the first week, provided there is no active bleeding or acute swelling. Your SmileJet clinic will confirm a specific travel clearance date based on your clinical progress. Patients are advised to carry a copy of their treatment records and the surgeon's contact number in case their home dentist needs to follow up.
