All-on-4 Dental Implants in Vietnam

Is it safe to get dental implants in Vietnam?

Yes, it is very safe when you choose a reputable, accredited clinic. The dental tourism industry in Vietnam is highly competitive, driving clinics to adhere to strict international hygiene standards (often ISO certified). Top clinics use the same sterilization autoclaves and protocols as Western hospitals. Furthermore, they utilize FDA-approved implant materials from global manufacturers, ensuring the hardware placed in your mouth is of the highest quality.

Why is it so much cheaper than in the West?

The cost difference is primarily due to lower operating costs in Vietnam, including rent, staff salaries, and administrative expenses. Dentists in Vietnam do not carry the same heavy burden of student debt or malpractice insurance premiums as their Western counterparts. These savings are passed on to the patient. However, the cost of the actual implant hardware (titanium posts) is similar globally; the savings come from the procedure fees and lab work.

How many trips do I need to make to Vietnam?

Typically, the All-on-4 procedure requires two trips. The first trip (7-10 days) involves extracting any remaining teeth, placing the implants, and fitting a temporary fixed bridge. You then return home for 3-6 months to allow the bone to fuse with the implants (osseointegration). The second trip (7-10 days) is for placing the final, permanent customized bridge.

What brands of implants are used?

Leading Vietnamese clinics do not cut corners on materials. They commonly use premium brands such as Nobel Biocare (Switzerland/USA), Straumann (Switzerland), and Tekka (France). Using these major brands is crucial because if you ever need maintenance back home, a local dentist will have the tools and parts compatible with your implants.

Will the procedure be painful?

Pain is managed very effectively. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, often combined with sedation (conscious sedation) to keep you relaxed. You shouldn't feel pain during the surgery. Post-operatively, there will be some swelling and discomfort, but this is usually managed well with prescribed painkillers and antibiotics. Most patients report less pain than they anticipated.

Do the dentists speak English?

Yes. In the major dental tourism hubs of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, English proficiency is excellent. Many top implantologists have studied or worked abroad in English-speaking countries. Additionally, clinics catering to international patients usually employ dedicated patient coordinators who are fluent in English (and often French or Australian accents!) to assist you throughout your journey.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes, reputable clinics in Vietnam offer robust warranties. Typically, there is a lifetime warranty on the implant posts themselves (from the manufacturer) and a 5 to 10-year warranty on the prosthetic bridge (the teeth). It is important to ask for the written warranty terms, which usually require you to maintain regular check-ups (even with your local dentist) and good oral hygiene.

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses four implants to support the arch of teeth, while All-on-6 uses six. All-on-6 offers greater stability and distribution of bite force, which can be beneficial for patients with softer bone or a heavy bite. However, All-on-6 requires more bone volume. Your dentist in Vietnam will take a CT scan to determine which option is best for your specific anatomy. The cost difference is usually minimal in Vietnam compared to the added stability.

Can I enjoy a vacation while I'm there?

Absolutely. Most patients schedule their sightseeing before the surgery or a few days after, once the initial swelling subsides. Vietnam is famous for its food, culture, and landscapes. However, you should avoid strenuous activity like heavy trekking or swimming immediately after surgery. Light activities, shopping, and relaxing at a resort are perfect post-op options.

What happens if something goes wrong back home?

Because major brands like Nobel or Straumann are used, a local specialist in your home country can access parts to tighten a screw or adjust the bridge if needed. For significant issues related to the surgical placement (which are rare), the warranty usually covers corrective treatment at the clinic in Vietnam. PlacidWay can assist in coordinating communication between you and the clinic if any post-return concerns arise.
