The Short Answer
A bone graft and dental implant package in Hanoi — grafting material, healing time, then the implant fixture, abutment and crown — typically totals AUD 1,600–2,800 at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi Old Quarter flagship, depending on the graft type and implant brand chosen. A comparable package in Australia commonly runs AUD 4,800–8,300, since the underlying grafting materials (autograft, Bio-Oss) and implant systems used in Hanoi are the same internationally recognised brands used in Australian clinics — the price gap reflects lower Vietnamese clinical labour and lab costs, not a different standard of material. This is a general guide, not a personal quote: whether you need a graft at all, and which type, can only be confirmed after your dentist reviews your CBCT scan.
Who Needs a Bone Graft Before an Implant
Not every implant case needs grafting. A graft is typically recommended when a CBCT scan shows the jawbone at the implant site is too thin, short, or soft to anchor a fixture securely on its own — often the result of a tooth having been missing for years, gum disease, or a sinus sitting close to the upper jaw. If your dentist reviews your scan and finds adequate bone volume, you may skip grafting entirely and go straight to placement. This page is written for patients who have already been told grafting is likely, or who want to budget for the possibility before their consultation.
What the Package Normally Includes
A bone graft and implant package at the Hanoi flagship is typically quoted as two linked stages, not one flat fee:
- Bone grafting stage — grafting material placed at the implant site, plus a membrane if guided bone regeneration (GBR) is used to hold the graft in place while it integrates
- Healing period — the grafted bone needs time to mature before it can safely hold an implant
- Implant stage — the fixture, abutment and crown, placed once your dentist confirms the graft has taken
It does not automatically include sinus augmentation (a related but separate procedure for upper back teeth), sedation beyond standard local anaesthetic, or your CBCT scan if one isn’t already on file. Ask for a written, itemised quote covering both stages before you commit to travel dates.
Indicative AUD Pricing by Graft Type
| Component | Typical Hanoi price (AUD)* | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Autograft (small, 0.25cc) | 240–290 | Uses your own bone, often from a nearby site |
| Bio-Oss graft (0.5cc) | 480–580 | Synthetic/bovine-derived, widely used |
| GBR collagen membrane | 180–360 | Sized to defect; small/medium/large |
| Sinus augmentation (closed) | 420–500 | Only if upper back teeth are involved |
| Implant fixture + abutment + crown (Osstem) | 1,400–1,650 | See brand table below for premium options |
*Approximate AUD conversion from VND list pricing as of 21 July 2026; ask for the current quote in AUD at time of booking since exchange rates move. VND prices remain the source of truth — see the Vietnam dental implant cost guide for the full breakdown, and the bone grafting page for grafting-specific detail.
Implant Brand Options Once the Graft Has Healed
| Implant brand | Origin | Typical combo price (AUD)* |
|---|---|---|
| Osstem | South Korea | 1,400–1,650 |
| ETK / Neodent | France / Brazil (Straumann Group) | 1,650–1,850 |
| Nobel Biocare | Switzerland | 2,150–2,350 |
| Straumann | Switzerland | 2,150–2,350 |
Your dentist will factor the graft outcome into which brand and protocol suits your case — a wider fixture or delayed-loading approach is sometimes preferred after grafting, and this is a clinical call made in the chair, not something to pre-select.
Realistic Timing for Australian Patients
A graft-plus-implant case is the longest-timeline implant path, and it is important to plan around it rather than against it:
- Trip 1 (3–5 days): Consultation, CBCT scan, and bone graft placement.
- Healing period (4–9 months): You fly home. Grafted bone needs time to mature and integrate — this varies by graft type and individual healing, and cannot be shortened for scheduling convenience.
- Trip 2 (3–4 days): Return to Hanoi for implant placement once imaging confirms the graft has taken.
- Second healing period (3–6 months): A further wait for the implant itself to osseointegrate.
- Trip 3 (2–3 days): Final crown fitting.
Some cases combine stages or need fewer trips if bone volume is only marginally short — but this is only confirmed after your scan.
Comparing a Like-for-Like Plan From Australia
| Item | Australia (AUD) | Hanoi, Osstem (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation + CBCT | 150–350 | Included in plan |
| Bone graft + membrane | 900–2,200 | 420–940 |
| Implant fixture + abutment + crown | 4,000–6,500 | 1,400–1,650 |
| Indicative total | 5,050–9,050 | 1,820–2,590 |
Flights, accommodation and the extra time off work for three trips instead of one are real costs on the Hanoi side — a graft case involves more travel than a straightforward single implant, so budget accordingly.

Questions to Ask Before You Book
- Does my CBCT scan actually show I need a graft, or could I go straight to implant placement?
- Which graft material is recommended for my case, and why that one over the alternatives?
- How many separate trips will this realistically take given my specific bone situation?
- What happens if the graft hasn’t fully healed by my planned second trip date?
- Is the sinus involved, and if so, does that change the plan or cost?
- What is included in the package price versus billed as a separate line item?
Your Next Step
A graft-and-implant case is exactly the kind of plan that should not be estimated from a description alone. Send a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan for a remote assessment so your dentist can tell you, before you book flights, whether grafting is actually needed, what type, and a realistic three-trip (or fewer) timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bone graft plus implant cost in Hanoi in AUD?
Expect roughly AUD 1,600–2,800 for the combined package at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi flagship, covering the graft, membrane if needed, and the implant fixture, abutment and crown. The exact figure depends on graft type and implant brand.
How do I know if I actually need a bone graft?
Only a CBCT scan can confirm this. Your dentist measures bone height and width at the implant site; if it falls short of what’s needed for stable placement, grafting is recommended. Avoid budgeting for a graft — or ruling one out — before this scan is reviewed.
Does a bone graft add much time to my overall trip count?
Yes, typically one extra trip and several extra months of healing compared with a straightforward implant. Most Australian patients with a confirmed graft need plan for three trips total rather than two.
Is autograft or synthetic graft material better?
Both are established options with different tradeoffs — autograft uses your own bone and often integrates predictably, while Bio-Oss and similar synthetic materials avoid a second surgical site. Your dentist recommends the type based on defect size and location, not a universal “better” option.
Can the graft and implant be done in the same visit?
Generally no. Grafted bone needs months to mature before it can safely support an implant fixture — combining both in one visit risks implant failure. Some marginal cases may allow a shorter gap, but this is confirmed only after imaging and clinical assessment.
What if the graft doesn’t heal as expected?
Your dentist reassesses with follow-up imaging before proceeding to implant placement. This is one of the reasons an itemised quote and a realistic timeline matter more than a fixed date — healing pace varies by patient and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
