Zygoma Implant result
Diagnosis
Trinh Hung Phat presented with severe maxillary and mandibular bone atrophy from long-term complete denture use. Posterior bone height measured under 3mm in both sinus regions, ruling out conventional implants. The degree of resorption required a zygomatic implant approach to anchor the upper arch without bone grafting.
Treatment plan
Trinh Hung Phat had worn full upper and lower dentures for years following progressive bone loss that made conventional implants impossible. Multiple clinics had declined his case. Worldwide Dental and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, a specialist centre for complex implant reconstructions, accepted him for a full clinical assessment and designed a protocol matched precisely to his anatomy.
The surgical team placed 4 Zygoma implants anchored in the dense cortical bone of the zygomatic arch, bypassing the atrophied jaw bone entirely, combined with 2 conventional implants per jaw for added anterior stability. Both the upper and lower jaws received full-arch Zirconia bridges, delivering a permanent, fixed smile across both arches in a single surgical visit. A provisional bridge was seated on the day of surgery. The definitive Zirconia bridges were fitted and adjusted over the following week.
The total cost of treatment at Worldwide Hospital was USD 40,000, covering 4 Zygoma implants, 2 conventional implants per jaw, and full-arch Zirconia bridges for both arches. The same scope of work at a specialist centre in the United States typically runs USD 80,000 to 90,000, making Vietnam a destination that delivers an identical clinical result at roughly half the price.

Questions patients commonly ask after reading this story about dental treatment in Vietnam.
- How much did this patient save on Zygoma implant reconstruction in Vietnam?
- This patient paid USD $40,000 for Zygoma implant reconstruction in Vietnam, compared to an at-home quote of USD $85,000, a saving of USD $45,000 (53%). 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.
- How long does Zygoma implant reconstruction take in Vietnam?
- This patient's Zygoma implant reconstruction treatment in Vietnam took 7 days. Treatment timelines vary depending on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the healing interval between implant placement and final crown or bridge fitting. A SmileJet treatment plan quote will include a personalised timeline based on your X-rays and clinical photos.
- Is Zygoma implant reconstruction in Vietnam as safe as getting it done at home?
- Implant survival rates in accredited Vietnam clinics are comparable to Western standards. 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. SmileJet partner clinics are independently verified for practitioner credentials, sterilisation protocols, and implant brand traceability before listing. Patients receive all clinical records and X-rays digitally for their home dentist.
- What implant brands are available at SmileJet partner clinics in Vietnam?
- SmileJet partner clinics in Vietnam carry internationally recognised implant brands including Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Sweden/US), Osstem (South Korea), and BioHorizons (US). The specific brand available depends on the clinic; your treatment plan quote will specify which brand is recommended for your case and why.
- How did this patient find and choose a dental clinic in Vietnam?
- This patient used SmileJet to request a written treatment plan and cost estimate from verified clinics in Vietnam. SmileJet verified clinics are screened for practitioner credentials, hygiene standards, implant brand traceability, and English-language patient coordination before listing. The patient submitted dental X-rays and a description of the problem, received a written plan within 48 hours, and booked directly through the platform. The process is free and carries no obligation to proceed.
- Can you fly home after Zygoma implant reconstruction surgery in Vietnam?
- Most patients fly home 7 to 14 days after implant surgery, once the surgical sites are stable and temporary restorations are fitted. 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.
