All-on-4 dental implants are the most transformative full-arch tooth replacement procedure available — four strategically placed implants support a complete set of fixed, non-removable teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with full confidence. In the United States, this life-changing procedure costs $15,000–$30,000 per arch, with full-mouth treatment (both upper and lower jaws) routinely reaching $40,000–$60,000 or more. At Picasso Dental Clinic in Vietnam, the identical procedure using the same premium implant brands — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem — costs $4,500–$8,000 per arch. For full-mouth All-on-4, American patients save between $25,000 and $50,000 by choosing Vietnam. Even accounting for business class flights, a two-week stay in a luxury hotel, and two separate trips, the math is overwhelming: the savings are real, and the quality is identical. This guide breaks down every cost comparison in detail so you can make a fully informed decision.

What Is All-on-4 and How Does It Work?

All-on-4 is a full-arch dental implant protocol developed by Nobel Biocare and refined over more than two decades of international clinical research. The technique uses four implants per jaw — two placed straight in the front and two angled at 30–45 degrees in the posterior region — to support a fixed prosthetic arch of 10–14 teeth.

The angled posterior implants are the engineering insight at the heart of All-on-4. By tilting the back implants, the procedure:

  • Avoids the sinus cavities in the upper jaw, eliminating the need for sinus lift surgery in most patients
  • Maximises contact with available bone, enabling treatment even in patients with moderate bone loss who might otherwise need bone grafting
  • Achieves immediate stability, allowing temporary fixed teeth to be attached on the same day as surgery
  • Reduces total implant count from the 6–8 traditionally used for full-arch replacement, lowering surgical complexity and cost

All-on-4 is distinguished from removable dentures by its fixed nature. The teeth do not come out at night, do not require adhesives, and restore approximately 90% of natural biting force — compared to 20–25% for conventional dentures.

The Real-World Savings After Travel Costs

Even for American patients adding business class flights and premium accommodation, the savings are extraordinary:

ExpenseEstimated Cost
Business class return flights (LA/NY → Hanoi)$4,000–$6,000
14-night luxury hotel in Hanoi$1,500–$3,000
Meals, transport, and activities$1,000–$2,000
Total travel costs (2 trips combined)$12,000–$22,000
Savings on full-mouth zirconia All-on-4$34,500–$45,000
Net saving after all travel costs$22,500–$33,000

Most American patients fly economy or premium economy, bring a companion, and still return home with $30,000–$40,000 in net savings compared to US pricing. For comparison with Australian All-on-4 dental tourism costs, see our related guide: All-on-4 Cost: Vietnam vs Australia 2026.

What Is Included in Vietnamese All-on-4 Pricing

At Picasso Dental Clinic, the quoted All-on-4 price is all-inclusive. American patients are sometimes surprised by what is covered, because US dental billing typically separates every component into individual line items:

  • Pre-treatment CBCT 3D scan (cone beam CT imaging)
  • Initial in-person consultation and treatment planning
  • All necessary tooth extractions prior to implant placement
  • Four dental implants per arch (in your chosen brand and system)
  • Guided surgery using 3D-printed surgical templates for precision placement
  • IV sedation or local anaesthesia during surgery
  • Immediate temporary prosthesis (fixed teeth on day of surgery)
  • All post-operative appointments and prescribed medications
  • Laboratory fabrication of final permanent prosthesis
  • Final delivery, fitting, and bite adjustment

In the United States, a complete All-on-4 treatment plan often separates the implant surgeon’s fees, the prosthodontist’s fees, the CBCT scan, the surgical guide, the temporary prosthesis, and the final prosthesis into individual invoices. The cumulative result is frequently higher than even the headline price quoted upfront.

Implant Brands: Same Systems, Fraction of the Cost

One of the most common concerns among American patients is whether Vietnamese dental clinics use the same implant brands as the United States. At Picasso Dental, the answer is unequivocally yes:

Straumann (Switzerland)

The world’s most widely placed dental implant system. Picasso Dental uses Straumann BLX implants for All-on-4 cases — the system specifically engineered for immediate loading protocols. BLX features Straumann’s proprietary SLActive surface, which accelerates osseointegration (bone bonding) by up to 50% compared to standard surfaces. The same implant you would receive at a top US oral surgery centre.

Nobel Biocare (Sweden)

The inventor of the All-on-4 concept. Nobel Biocare’s NobelActive and NobelParallel implants are the gold standard for the protocol that Picasso Dental’s surgeons use. Nobel Biocare implants carry a lifetime warranty on the fixture and have the most extensive published clinical documentation of any implant system.

Osstem (South Korea)

The most widely placed implant brand in Asia, with over 15 million implants placed globally. Osstem TS III SA implants offer excellent primary stability and a large body of supporting clinical data, with published success rates above 97% at 10 years. This system offers outstanding value for patients seeking a reliable implant at a lower cost than European brands.

All implant components used at Picasso Dental are sourced directly from authorised distributors. Authenticity certificates are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I realistically save on All-on-4 in Vietnam vs the USA?

For full-mouth All-on-4 with Straumann or Nobel Biocare implants and a zirconia prosthesis, American patients save $34,500–$45,000 at the treatment level. After accounting for two return trips from the US to Vietnam (including premium flights and luxury accommodation), the net saving is typically $22,000–$35,000. For acrylic prostheses with Korean implants, savings are lower but still reach $19,500–$31,500 before travel costs. Every patient’s situation is different — get a personalised cost estimate by contacting Picasso Dental’s international coordinator team.

Do I need to make two trips to Vietnam for All-on-4?

Most patients make two trips. The first trip (10–14 days) covers the full surgical phase: consultation, CBCT scan, implant placement, and immediate temporary teeth. You leave Vietnam with a fixed set of functional teeth. The second trip (5–7 days), approximately 4–6 months later, is for delivery of your final permanent prosthesis. Some patients with straightforward cases and good bone quality can complete the full process in a single extended trip of 14–21 days — your implant specialist will advise after reviewing your CBCT scan and clinical situation.

Are the implants used in Vietnam the same as in the USA?

Yes. Picasso Dental uses Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem implants — the same systems used at leading oral surgery and implant centres across the United States. All implant components are sourced from authorised distributors, and authenticity documentation is available on request. The implants are identical; only the price is different, due to Vietnam’s significantly lower cost of living, labour, and overhead compared to US dental practices.

Does my US dental insurance cover All-on-4 in Vietnam?

Most US dental insurance plans do not provide international coverage, or if they do, cover only a nominal amount ($1,000–$2,000) under major dental benefits. Medical tourism insurance, however, can be purchased to cover complications and follow-up care during your time abroad. Many American patients treat the Vietnam cost as a cash transaction and still save far more than any insurance benefit they might access at home. Some FSA and HSA accounts can be used to fund dental treatment abroad — check with your plan administrator.

How do I plan my trip from the United States to Vietnam?

The most common routing from the US East Coast is via Tokyo (Narita or Haneda) or Seoul (Incheon) to Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport — approximately 22–24 hours total travel time. From the US West Coast, the trip is 18–20 hours. Vietnam Airlines, Korean Air, Japan Airlines, and Cathay Pacific all offer reliable connections. Picasso Dental’s coordination team assists with accommodation recommendations, airport transfers, and logistics — so you arrive organised and stress-free.

What is the All-on-4 recovery like?

The first 48–72 hours after surgery involve swelling and mild-to-moderate discomfort, well managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients are comfortable enough to sightsee and dine out (soft foods) within 3–5 days of surgery. Full healing of the soft tissue takes 2–3 weeks, while implant osseointegration (bone fusion) completes over 3–6 months. During this period, the temporary prosthesis is fully functional — you can eat, speak, and smile normally. The final prosthesis is stronger and more aesthetic than the temporary. For full post-operative guidance, review our complete dental implant procedure guide.

Can I compare All-on-4 vs traditional implants to decide which is better for me?

All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch, while traditional full-arch implant protocols use 6–8 individual implants. All-on-4 is faster, less surgically complex, and significantly lower in cost — making it the dominant choice for full-arch replacement in 2026. Traditional protocols may be preferred in specific clinical situations, such as very high bone density or when supporting hybrid removable prostheses. Our guide on All-on-4 vs traditional implants covers this comparison in detail.

What if I need additional procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts?

One of the advantages of the All-on-4 technique is that the angled posterior implants frequently eliminate the need for sinus lifts and bone grafts, even in patients with moderate bone loss. If your CBCT scan reveals that additional bone augmentation is required, this will be included in your treatment plan and quoted upfront. Picasso Dental does not add unexpected charges during treatment — the quote provided after your CBCT review is fixed. Bone grafting and sinus lifts in Vietnam cost $300–$800 per site, compared to $2,000–$5,000 per site in the United States.
