What Is the Procedure for Dentures? How Long Will I Need to Stay in Tunis?

A week in Tunis should typically be enough time for your new dentures, which includes being measured up, the dentures being crafted for you and for the dentist to fit them and make any minor adjustments before you go home. The time required may even be less if you require partial dentures rather than full dentures and you don’t need any teeth extractions .

If you are having extractions, you should be aware that your mouth will need time to heal afterward. The dentist will fit a “healing” (or “immediate”) denture, which is a temporary, lighter denture made from acrylic; you will normally be advised to wear this for around three months. Permanent, heavier dentures can only be placed once the gums have healed. It is also worth bearing in mind gums tend to shrink as they heal, which is another reason for waiting a little while before getting measured up for your permanent dentures.

Although porcelain used to be the traditional material for dentures, many patients nowadays prefer lighter acrylic dentures because they are more comfortable. There is no reason why you cannot continue to use the healing denture for much longer if your gums haven’t shrunk too much and the denture requires only minor adjustment, which a local dentist at home can easily do.

Another alternative is to have your teeth taken out by a dentist at home at least three months before you travel to Tunis.

Can I Rely on the Quality of Dental Care in Tunis?

Tunisia is an established dental tourism destination and has had plenty of investment to produce modern facilities that use the latest technologies and adhere to internationally renowned health and safety protocols.

There is only one dental school in Tunisia, accepting only the crème de la crème of candidates. Undergraduate training takes five years and is carried out in the UK; upon the successful completion of examinations and a year’s internship, students can finally practise as fully-qualified dentists. After that, dentists must take regular, ongoing training to specialise and to keep up-to-date for the rest of their careers.

Stay in the Medina — a World Heritage Site since 1979. If you prefer beaches and the sea air then head to La Marsa, the old summer capital of pre-Colonial Tunisia, or Sid Bou Said, a pretty clifftop town with whitewashed buildings overlooking the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
