The Short Answer
A 10-day Hanoi itinerary suits Australian and New Zealand patients whose first implant trip involves more than a single straightforward implant — multiple implants, a bone graft, a sinus lift, or a combination of implant work with other dental treatment. The extra days over a standard 7-day trip go toward a longer recovery buffer and, in some cases, a second procedure appointment within the same visit (such as a graft review before placement). It still does not complete the entire implant process in one visit — the final crown is fitted on a separate, shorter second trip 3–6 months later once your jawbone has fully integrated with the implant.
Who Needs 10 Days Rather Than 7
This longer itinerary is typically recommended for patients who:
- Are having 3 or more implants placed in the same visit
- Need a bone graft or sinus lift before or alongside implant placement
- Have more complex bone conditions requiring extra healing observation before flying home
- Are combining implant treatment with other procedures during the same trip
If you’re having a single, straightforward implant with adequate bone, a shorter 7-day trip is usually sufficient — see the seven-day implant itinerary guide instead.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Arrive via Noi Bai International Airport |
| Day 2 | Consultation and CBCT 3D scan |
| Day 3 | Bone graft or sinus lift, if required |
| Day 4–5 | Rest and initial healing check |
| Day 6 | Implant placement surgery |
| Day 7–8 | Recovery days, light activity only |
| Day 9 | Post-op check-up; sightseeing if cleared |
| Day 10 | Final check and departure |
Where no graft is required, days 3–5 can shift earlier, effectively giving more buffer or free time — your dentist’s treatment plan determines the exact sequencing for your case.
What This Trip Includes Clinically
- Consultation and CBCT scan
- Bone grafting or sinus augmentation, if your case requires it
- Implant fixture placement (multiple, if applicable)
- Temporary crowns or healing caps
- Post-op reviews before departure
The final porcelain crowns are not included — those are fitted on the second trip once integration is confirmed, similar to a single-implant case but scaled to however many implants you’ve had placed.

Why the Old Quarter Flagship Suits a Longer Visit
A 10-day stay benefits from being based somewhere with easy access to more than one thing to do between appointments. Picasso Dental Clinic’s flagship at 16 Phố Châu Long, Ba Đình is walking distance from Trúc Bạch Lake, close to West Lake (Hồ Tây), and a short taxi from the Old Quarter — useful across a longer stay with more free days than a 7-day trip allows. It’s roughly 35–45 minutes from Noi Bai International Airport. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, who has placed implants since 2001 and has handled full-arch and grafting cases extensively, typically oversees more complex multi-implant treatment plans at this location.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- Does my case genuinely need the full 10 days, or could 7 be enough?
- If a graft is needed, how many days of healing before implant placement in the same trip is realistic?
- What happens if healing after the graft is slower than expected during my visit?
- What’s included in the itemised AUD/NZD quote, and what could add extra days or cost?
- How is the second trip’s timing and length different from this first one?
Your Next Step
Send a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan for a remote assessment so your dentist can confirm whether your case needs the full 10 days or fewer, and whether grafting is likely. Request a remote implant assessment and itemised quote in AUD or NZD before booking flights.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need 10 days instead of 7 for dental implants in Hanoi?
Ten days typically accommodates bone grafting or multiple implants in a single visit, both of which need more recovery observation than a single straightforward implant placement.
Does the 10-day trip complete the whole implant process?
No — it covers placement (and grafting if needed), plus healing observation. The final crown is fitted on a second, separate trip roughly 3–6 months later.
Can grafting and implant placement happen in the same 10-day visit?
In some cases yes, if the graft heals enough to allow placement within the trip; in other cases the graft needs months to fully integrate before an implant can be placed at all, requiring a separate future visit. Your dentist determines this from your scan.
Is a 10-day trip more expensive than a 7-day trip?
The extra days themselves don’t have a clinic fee, but the trip usually involves additional procedures (grafting, multiple implants) that do carry their own costs — see the indicative pricing table above, and always request an itemised quote.
How do I know if my case needs grafting before I book?
Only a CBCT scan can confirm bone volume and whether grafting is needed. Send your imaging for a remote assessment rather than guessing from symptoms alone.
