A New Smile, From Both Arches Up.

When: Standard full-arch reconstruction. Rear implants angled to take advantage of available bone, often avoiding the need for sinus lifts.

Best for: Most patients · Faster surgery · Most economical full-arch option.

Trade-off: Slightly less load distribution than All-on-6.

When: Adequate bone volume permits the additional implants. Improved load distribution, smaller cantilevers, longer-term stability.

Best for: Patients prioritising long-term durability · Heavy bite force · Younger patients with decades of expected function ahead.

Trade-off: Higher cost than All-on-4.

When: Anatomy or load demands a non-standard configuration. Complex cases, asymmetric bone loss, or extreme parafunction.

Best for: Cases where neither All-on-4 nor All-on-6 fits cleanly · Decided after CBCT.

Trade-off: Pricing and timeline customised per case.

When: Upper jaw bone differs significantly from lower. Common scenario, since the upper jaw is softer bone and often has sinus considerations the lower does not.

Best for: Asymmetric anatomy · Optimising cost-to-stability ratio.

Trade-off: None, this is often the most rational choice.

Solutions: Sinus lift augmentation (open or closed), zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone, or pterygoid implants in the rear of the upper jaw. We tell you on day one whether bone is the limiting factor.

Solutions: Block grafting, ridge augmentation, or shorter implant designs (Straumann short implants). The lower jaw heals faster than the upper, grafting timelines are typically 4 months.

Two of our six branches operate inside accredited hospitals (Vinmec Da Nang, Link General Da Lat) with full emergency medical support, anaesthesiology and on-site cardiology consultation for medically complex patients.

Available at our hospital-based branches for patients who prefer to be fully asleep during the longer surgical sessions full-mouth cases require. Administered by qualified anaesthesiologists.

The standard for most full-mouth surgeries. Patient is conscious but deeply relaxed, typically remembers little of the procedure. Recovery is faster than general anaesthesia.

If you have previously placed implants that have failed, we can often integrate or replace them within a new full-mouth plan. Bring any records you have, we work with whatever brand was originally used.

Soft food, no smoking, no straws, no vigorous rinsing. Mild swelling is normal and peaks around day 3. Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed. Provisional bridges in place throughout.

Provisional bridges worn while implants integrate. Soft-to-normal diet progression. WhatsApp check-ins with our team if you have travelled home.

Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush. A water flosser is the single most useful tool, full-arch bridges have hard-to-reach undersides that floss alone struggles with. Interdental brushes for around the implant heads.

Professional cleaning of the bridges, soft-tissue check around each implant, visual inspection. Identical to a natural-tooth recall, slightly longer because there are more surfaces to clean.

Standard 12-month X-ray to confirm bone levels around each implant are stable. Standard practice for all implant patients globally.

Smoking is the single biggest threat to implant longevity. Untreated peri-implantitis is the second. Hard objects (ice, pen caps, fingernails) are unkind to bridges and implants alike. Heavy grinders may need a night guard.

Long-term clinical literature consistently reports implant survival in the 98 percent range over 10 years for healthy patients placed by experienced clinicians, confirmed by the systematic review of Moraschini et al. (2015) covering more than 14,000 implants across 23 studies. Full-arch protocols (All-on-4, All-on-6) show comparable survival.

Failure to integrate at one or more positions (rare). Peri-implantitis (gum disease around an implant). Bridge fracture or chipping. Anaesthesia-related complications (mitigated by hospital-based delivery).

CBCT 3D imaging before every surgery. Autoclave sterilisation. Medical history screening with cardiology / endocrinology clearance where indicated. Genuine brand fixtures only. Surgical planning reviewed before any incision. On-site emergency medical support at our hospital-partner branches.

If an implant fails to integrate within 6 months, we re-place it at no additional cost. If a bridge fractures within the warranty period, we replace it. We don't invoice you to fix our own work.

Smoking roughly doubles implant failure risk and significantly increases peri-implantitis. With 12 implants in play, the cumulative risk over a full mouth is meaningful, we strongly recommend stopping at least 2 weeks before surgery and remaining smoke-free for 8 weeks after.

Full-mouth surgery typically takes 5 hours under IV sedation or general anaesthesia. Performing it in a hospital-based branch (Vinmec Da Nang, Link General Da Lat) means cardiology, anaesthesiology and emergency medicine are all on-site. We strongly recommend this for medically complex patients.

Full upper or lower arch missing or failing. Four strategically placed implants supporting a complete fixed bridge of 14 teeth.

Six implants per arch with improved load distribution. Recommended where bone volume permits and maximum stability is the priority.

Learn about All-on-6 →

Fewer implants (typically 4 per arch) supporting a removable overdenture that snaps onto them. More economical alternative to fixed bridges.
