The journey
How it actually went.
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.
