Implant Cost Guide · Last reviewed October 2026
Dental implant cost in Vietnam,
explained in full.
What you pay for an implant depends on four things: the brand, the configuration, what your CBCT scan shows, and where the surgery happens. This guide explains each one, what the price includes, and what it does not. Patients typically save 60–75% against Australia, the USA or the UK, on the same Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Neodent fixtures.
The Short Answer
One price. Three parts.
Every implant quote at Picasso is a combo price. It covers the whole tooth, not just the screw in the bone.
At Picasso Dental, the price of a single tooth implant depends mainly on the brand: Neodent, Nobel Biocare or Straumann. The combo price includes the titanium fixture, the abutment and the final crown. The CBCT 3D scan and consultation are charged separately.
We place single tooth implants, 3-unit implant bridges, All-on-4 and All-on-6 per arch, full-mouth All-on-4 and implant-supported overdentures. Current rates for every brand and configuration are published in one place, on our dental costs page.
- i.Fixture The titanium implant placed in the jawbone. Brand and serial number recorded in your case file.
- ii.Abutment The titanium or zirconia connector that joins the fixture to the crown.
- iii.Crown The visible porcelain or zirconia tooth, made to your bite, shade and shape.
What Drives the Price
Four variables. No surprises.
Two patients with the same missing tooth can receive different quotes. These are the only reasons why.
The brand you choose.
The single biggest variable. All four are genuine, internationally certified systems with manufacturer warranties. We recommend a brand after seeing your CBCT, based on bone, bite and the position of the tooth.
How many teeth, and how they are joined.
A single implant carries one crown. A 3-unit bridge replaces three teeth on two implants. Full-arch cases are priced per arch, and a full mouth covers both.
What your CBCT shows.
If a failing tooth is still in place, or the bone is too thin or too short, the site is prepared first. These add-ons are quoted separately, and only when the scan shows they are needed.
Where the surgery happens.
Most implants are placed under local anaesthetic. Anxious patients and full-arch cases can add sedation, including IV sedation in our hospital-based branches.
Savings vs Home
Same fixture. A third of the fee.
Same Nobel Biocare and Straumann hardware, same manufacturer warranty, same biology. The only difference is where the surgery happens.
| Treatment | Typical saving vs Australia |
|---|---|
| Single implant, Nobel Biocare or Straumann | ~62–71% |
| All-on-4, per arch | ~62–70% |
| Full-mouth All-on-4, both arches | ~66–75% |
Savings are similar against the USA, the UK and New Zealand. Estimates compare ADA, BDA and AusDent published surveys (2025–2026) with the Picasso 2026 rate card. Current rates are on our dental costs page.
What's Included
Itemised before you fly.
Every line is confirmed in writing before treatment begins. Nothing is added at the end.
In every combo price
- The titanium fixture, from a named brand, with its serial number recorded.
- Healing abutment and final titanium or zirconia abutment.
- Screw-retained or cement-retained porcelain crown.
- Written treatment plan, digital surgical guide review and surgical placement.
- Suture removal and standard reviews at 7 days and 3 months.
- Complete case file at handover: brand, serial numbers, notes and imaging.
Quoted separately, only if needed
- CBCT 3D scan and consultation, itemised on your plan.
- Extraction of a failing tooth at the implant site.
- Bone grafting with Bio-Oss and a collagen membrane, priced by volume.
- Sinus lift, closed or open, for the upper back jaw.
- Oral or IV sedation.
- A temporary crown for non-visible positions, if you would like one.
Not included: flights, accommodation, food, emergency care unrelated to the implant, and second opinions with outside specialists.
Free for international patients
Airport pickup, hotel booking help, English and Vietnamese coordination, an insurance documentation packet and WhatsApp support before, during and after treatment. No coordinator fee and no premium for overseas patients.
Warranty, in writing
Every fixture carries the original manufacturer warranty, documented in your case file. Picasso adds a 12-month guarantee on the crown. If an implant fails to integrate within 6 months of placement, we re-place it at no cost.
Add-On Procedures
Add-ons only when the scan says so.
When the bone or the site needs work before an implant can go in, each item is quoted on its own line. Your CBCT on day one tells us what, if anything, is required.
| Procedure | When it is needed |
|---|---|
| Extraction, simple | A failing tooth is still present at the implant site |
| Extraction, difficult | Multi-rooted, fractured or impacted tooth |
| GBR bone graft (0.25cc) | Minor bone defect at the implant site |
| GBR bone graft with Bio-Oss (0.5cc) | Moderate bone defect, grafted at the same time as placement |
| Block graft or autograft | Significant ridge deficiency, staged before the implant |
| Sinus lift, closed (osteotome) | Upper jaw, not enough bone height below the sinus floor |
| Sinus lift, open (lateral window) | Severe upper jaw bone loss, 4+ mm of lift needed |
| Oral sedation | Anxious patients, standard-length procedures |
| IV sedation, hospital-based | Full-arch surgery, at Vinmec Da Nang or Link General Da Lat |
Every add-on is confirmed in writing before it goes ahead. Clinical detail on each technique is on our bone grafting and sinus lift page.
Why It Costs Less
Lower overheads. Identical hardware.
The price difference is structural. It is not a sign of a lesser implant or a shorter protocol.
Labour
An implant surgeon in Vietnam earns substantially less than one in Sydney, London or New York, for the same training pathway and clinical scope. Labour is the largest cost in any surgery, and this gap accounts for most of the difference.
Clinic overheads
Rent, utilities, insurance and support staff in Hanoi or Da Nang run at roughly 20–25% of the equivalent in Sydney or London. The saving goes into the rate card.
Exchange rates
Treatment is priced in VND. Paying from AUD, USD or GBP widens the gap further in your home currency.
The fixture is the same
The same Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Neodent fixtures, from authorised channels, with the same boxes, serial numbers and warranty certificates. The titanium does not get cheaper. Only the labour around it does.
What it does not mean
No lower-grade hardware, no shortcuts in surgery, no weaker sterilisation. CBCT-guided planning, torque-controlled placement and autoclave sterilisation, to the standards in the international implant literature.
Volume, done properly
Our implant team has placed 1,000+ implants and completed 200+ All-on-X full-arch cases. High volume, performed correctly, goes with fewer complications, not more.
Travel Costs

Protect Yourself
Six rules. Any clinic.
Six checks that protect any patient travelling for implants. Picasso meets all six by default. If a clinic resists any of them, walk away.
Get the brand and serial number in writing.
A reputable clinic names the exact brand before surgery and records the serial number in your case file afterwards. If a clinic quotes a "Korean brand" or will not name the fixture, it may be off-brand or grey-market.
Confirm combo, not fixture-only.
Some clinics advertise an "implant price" that covers only the titanium screw, then add the abutment and crown on top. Ask whether the price includes fixture, abutment and final crown, and get the answer in writing.
Insist on CBCT, not just a panoramic X-ray.
A 2D panoramic X-ray cannot measure bone width, locate the nerve accurately or show horizontal defects. Any clinic giving a final price without CBCT data is guessing.
Get a written plan before you travel.
Send your CBCT or panoramic X-ray before booking flights. Ask for a line-item quote naming the brand, the components, the number of appointments and any add-ons. We provide this remotely, at no charge.
Question a premium brand at a bargain price.
A genuine Nobel Biocare or Straumann fixture has a real cost to the clinic. A quote far below typical rates means either the fixture is not genuine or the price will rise once you are in the chair.
Ask for the warranty on paper.
Genuine fixtures come with manufacturer warranty documentation. Ask to see it before treatment. If a clinic cannot produce it, the fixture or its supply chain may be compromised.
Insurance & Payment
Pay in stages. Claim at home.
How to pay, and how to get the most back from your insurer.
Foreign insurance
We do not bill foreign insurers directly. You receive an itemised English invoice, CBCT images, X-rays, clinical notes and implant serial numbers to submit. Australian, UK and US plans typically reimburse 30–60% when documentation is complete and a predetermination was obtained.
Predetermination
Before you travel, ask your insurer for a predetermination using the codes for implant placement (D6010), abutment (D6056) and crown (D6065 or equivalent). We help you prepare it. It is not a guarantee of payment, but it gives you a figure to budget against.
Payment methods
Visa, Mastercard and Amex. Bank transfer in USD or VND. Cash in VND for amounts below 50,000,000 VND. We do not accept foreign cheques, crypto or third-party finance.
Staged payments
For All-on-4 and full-mouth cases: a deposit at consultation to confirm your surgical date, the surgical balance on the day of placement, and the bridge balance at final fitting. No interest and no full payment upfront.
Quote validity
Written quotes are valid for 90 days. We do not change prices mid-treatment or add items that are not in the original plan without your written approval.
Deposit refunds
If CBCT reveals a medical reason not to proceed, or you change your mind before clinical work begins, the deposit is refunded in full. Consultation and CBCT fees are non-refundable, as is the surgical fee once clinical work starts.
Patient Reviews
Upfront costs, in their words.
From real Google reviews by patients who travelled in for implant treatment. 4.9 stars across 3,000+ reviews and six branches.
"
I had all upper jaw implants and 2 bottom jaw implants. The practice is spotlessly clean and hygiene practices are at the highest level. The sense of pride and excellence starts with the implant dentist through to the front desk. The costs are upfront and more than satisfactory compared to Australia.
Michael Vandekamp
"
My visits to Picasso were by far and away the best dental treatment and care I have experienced. I had four crowns, a large filling, an old amalgam removed, the first stage of three implants and an Invisalign tray. I not only received top class dental care, it was so cost effective in comparison to having all this work undertaken at an Australian dental practice.
Gerald Mair
"
From the day I started texting them from Australia, I knew I had made the right choice getting dental implants. I can't give enough praise for the dentist and his wonderful nurses and front desk staff. My temporary implants look great. Looking forward to my return to Picasso Dental.

What patients ask most before they book flights.
How much does a dental implant cost in Vietnam in 2026?
At Picasso Dental, the price of a single tooth implant depends mainly on the brand: Neodent, Nobel Biocare or Straumann. The combo price includes the titanium fixture, the abutment and the final crown. The CBCT scan and consultation are charged separately. Current rates for every brand are on our dental costs page.
How much cheaper are implants in Vietnam than in Australia, the USA or the UK?
Patients typically save 60–75% compared with private practice in Australia, the USA or the UK, on the same Nobel Biocare or Straumann fixtures. Against Sydney or Melbourne, the saving is around 62–71% on a single implant and 66–75% on a full-mouth All-on-4.
What does the implant combo price include?
The titanium fixture, the abutment and the final porcelain or zirconia crown, plus treatment planning, surgical placement, suture removal, standard post-op reviews, implant serial number documentation and a complete case file. Extraction, bone grafting, sinus lift and sedation are quoted separately and only when the CBCT scan shows they are needed.
How much does All-on-4 cost in Vietnam?
All-on-4 at Picasso is priced per arch, by implant brand (Neodent, Nobel Biocare or Straumann); a full-mouth case covers both arches. You receive a written, line-item quote after CBCT review. Current rates are on our dental costs page.
Why do dental implants cost less in Vietnam?
Lower labour costs, lower clinic overheads and favourable exchange rates, not lower-grade materials. Picasso Dental uses the same Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Neodent fixtures supplied in Sydney, London and New York, with the same manufacturer warranties.
Are there hidden costs?
No. You receive a full written treatment plan with line-by-line pricing before any treatment begins. The consultation and CBCT scan are itemised on the plan, and add-ons appear only when the CBCT shows they are necessary.
How much does it cost to fly to Vietnam for implants?
Return economy flights to Hanoi or Da Nang typically cost 800–1,400 AUD from Sydney, 700–1,100 GBP from London and 1,000–1,500 USD from the US west coast. Mid-range hotels in Da Nang or Hoi An cost 35–80 USD per night. See the three example budgets above.
Do you accept dental insurance from abroad?
Picasso Dental does not bill foreign insurers directly. We provide a full documentation packet (itemised invoice in English, CBCT, X-rays, clinical notes and implant serial numbers) for you to submit. Most Australian, UK and US plans reimburse 30–60% when documentation is complete.
How do I avoid being overcharged for implants abroad?
Get the implant brand and serial number in writing, confirm the price includes fixture, abutment and crown, insist on a CBCT scan before any quote, and get a written treatment plan before you book flights. A reputable clinic provides all four without being asked.
Can I pay in instalments?
For All-on-4 and full-mouth cases, yes. Payment is staged with treatment: a deposit at consultation, the surgical balance on the day of placement and the bridge balance at final fitting. International patients pay by Visa, Mastercard, Amex or bank transfer in USD or VND.
Are there extra fees for international patients?
No. Implant prices are the same for international and domestic patients. Airport pickup, hotel booking assistance, English-language coordination and insurance documentation are provided at no additional charge.
What if I need a follow-up after I return home?
You leave with a complete case file: implant brand, serial numbers, surgical notes, CBCT and X-rays. Any qualified dentist anywhere can service your implant with it, and we answer questions on WhatsApp at any time.
