Dental Implant Cost: Vietnam vs Australia 2026 — Complete Price Comparison
Compare dental implant costs in Vietnam vs Australia for 2026. Single implants, All-on-4, All-on-6 prices with total trip cost analysis and savings breakdown.
Last updated: April 19, 2026
Dental implants remain the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, but the cost difference between Vietnam and Australia continues to be substantial in 2026. Australian patients can save 60% to 80% on dental implant procedures by traveling to Vietnam — even after factoring in flights, accommodation, and meals. This complete price comparison breaks down every cost so you can make an informed decision. For clinic recommendations, see our guide to the top 10 dental clinics in Hanoi for dental implants.
Why Are Dental Implants So Expensive in Australia?
The high cost of dental implants in Australia reflects several factors that drive up prices across the board:
- Overhead costs — Australian dental practices face high rent, staff wages, insurance premiums, and regulatory compliance costs
- Laboratory fees — Domestic dental labs charge significantly more than labs in Vietnam
- Limited competition — Fewer implant specialists relative to demand keeps prices elevated
- No Medicare coverage — Dental implants are classified as major dental work and are not covered by Medicare, leaving patients to pay out of pocket or rely on limited private health insurance rebates
- Multi-appointment model — Each visit to an Australian implant specialist may involve separate consultation fees, imaging fees, surgical fees, and prosthetic fees

| Single implant — Korean (Osstem/Dentium) | $900–$1,200 | $1,400–$1,850 | $4,000–$5,000 | $6,150–$7,700 | 75–78% |

All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch for additional support, often recommended for patients with sufficient bone density who want maximum stability.
| Procedure | Vietnam (USD) | Vietnam (AUD) | Australia (USD) | Australia (AUD) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-6 per arch (acrylic) | $5,500–$7,500 | $8,500–$11,500 | $25,000–$35,000 | $38,500–$53,800 | 78–79% |

The choice between Swiss/Swedish and Korean systems often comes down to budget — Korean implants offer excellent outcomes at a lower price point, while Straumann and Nobel Biocare provide the longest clinical track record.
How Long Do You Need to Stay in Vietnam for Dental Implants?
The timeline depends on your treatment plan:
- Single implant (first visit): 3–5 days for implant placement, then return in 3–6 months for the crown
- Single implant (immediate loading, if eligible): 5–7 days for implant and temporary crown in one trip
- Multiple implants: 5–7 days for the surgical phase
- All-on-4: 7–14 days, including extractions, implant placement, and temporary prosthesis fitting
- All-on-6: 7–14 days, similar timeline to All-on-4
Most patients plan two trips to Vietnam: the first for implant placement and the second (3–6 months later) for final prosthesis delivery. Some patients combine their dental trip with a vacation to explore Vietnam’s attractions between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Australian private health insurance cover dental implants in Vietnam?
Most Australian private health insurance policies do not cover dental treatment performed overseas. However, the savings on dental implants in Vietnam are so significant that patients save thousands even without insurance reimbursement. Some policies may offer partial reimbursement for overseas dental work — check with your provider before traveling. Even without any rebate, you will still save 60–80% compared to Australian prices.
Are dental implants in Vietnam the same quality as Australia?
Yes. Leading clinics in Vietnam use the same premium implant systems — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem, and Dentium — that Australian practices use. The titanium implants, abutments, and porcelain crowns are identical products from the same manufacturers. The difference in cost comes from lower overhead, labor, and laboratory fees in Vietnam, not from lower quality materials.
How do I choose between Korean and Swiss/Swedish implant brands?
Korean implant systems like Osstem and Dentium have strong clinical evidence and offer excellent long-term success rates above 95%. Swiss (Straumann) and Swedish (Nobel Biocare) systems have the longest clinical track record — over 50 years of research — and are considered the premium standard worldwide. If budget is your primary concern, Korean implants are an excellent choice. If you want the most extensively documented system, choose Straumann or Nobel Biocare.
How long should I stay in Vietnam for dental implants?
For a single implant placement, plan 3–5 days for your first visit. For All-on-4 dental implants, allow 7–14 days. Most implant patients need two trips: one for implant surgery and one for final restoration 3–6 months later. Your dentist at Picasso Dental will provide a detailed timeline based on your specific treatment plan.
What happens if I need follow-up care after returning to Australia?
Picasso Dental provides a comprehensive warranty on all implant work and maintains communication with patients after they return home. For routine follow-up, any Australian dentist can monitor your implants with standard X-rays. If an issue arises that requires the treating dentist, Picasso Dental offers remote consultations and can coordinate follow-up care during your second visit.
Is it safe to get dental implants in Vietnam?
Vietnam’s top dental clinics maintain international standards of infection control, sterilization, and clinical protocols. Picasso Dental Clinic uses hospital-grade sterilization equipment and follows strict cross-infection control procedures. Their implant specialists have placed thousands of implants with success rates comparable to Western clinics. Vietnam is also a safe, welcoming country for international visitors, with modern infrastructure and excellent healthcare facilities in major cities.
Can I get dental implants and a dental crown in the same trip?
Absolutely. Many patients combine multiple procedures during their dental trip to Vietnam. If you need both implants and crowns or porcelain veneers on other teeth, your dentist can plan the treatments to be completed efficiently within a single visit. This is one of the key advantages of dental tourism — you can address all your dental needs at once and maximize your savings.
How do I get started with a dental implant consultation?
Contact Picasso Dental Clinic through their website or email with a recent panoramic X-ray (OPG) or CBCT scan. The team will review your case, provide a detailed treatment plan with itemized costs, and help you plan your trip. The initial consultation and treatment planning are complimentary for international patients.
