All-on-4 Osstem with full-arch Zirconia bridge, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Diagnosis
Severely compromised dentition across both upper and lower arches with advanced gum disease, bone loss, and multiple failing teeth. Full-arch reconstruction required on both jaws.
Treatment plan
Marco had been managing a deteriorating smile for years. Advanced gum disease, bone loss, and failing teeth across both arches had left him with limited options. Back in Houston, the quote for a full-mouth reconstruction with All-on-4 on both jaws came in at over USD $40,000. He started looking elsewhere.
After researching dental tourism options, Marco chose Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The city has a well-established network of specialist implant clinics experienced with full-arch cases for international patients, and Osstem implants, a globally trusted South Korean system used widely in the US and Australia, were available at the clinic he selected.
Implant Placement
Remaining compromised teeth across both arches were extracted and four Osstem implants were placed per jaw, eight implants in total. Temporary full-arch prosthetics were fitted the same day, restoring Marcos bite and appearance immediately. Osstem implants are one of the worlds most clinically validated implant systems, with over 10 million placements globally and a long track record in the US market.
Final Zirconia Bridges
Once osseointegration was confirmed, full-arch Zirconia bridges were fabricated and fitted to both the upper and lower jaws. Zirconia was chosen for its combination of strength, natural-looking translucency, and long-term stain resistance, making it the preferred material for permanent All-on-4 restorations.
Both arches rebuilt. Bite restored. Total cost: USD $20,000 in Vietnam versus USD $40,000+ in Houston.

Dental treatment costs in Vietnam are typically 60 to 80 percent lower than equivalent private dental care in Australia, the UK, or the United States, primarily because of lower clinic overheads and labour costs rather than any difference in materials or technology.

- Is All-on-4 in Vietnam as safe as getting it done at home?

The Moraschini 2015 meta-analysis of 7,711 implants reported a pooled 5-year survival rate of 94.6 percent, consistent with outcomes published by US and European implant societies.

- Can you fly home after All-on-4 surgery in Vietnam?

Long-haul flights (over 8 hours) are generally fine after the first week, provided there is no active bleeding or acute swelling. Your SmileJet clinic will confirm a specific travel clearance date based on your clinical progress. Patients are advised to carry a copy of their treatment records and the surgeon's contact number in case their home dentist needs to follow up.
