All-on-4 dental implants in Vietnam
Full-arch tooth replacement on four implants: the highest-value dental tourism procedure in Vietnam. Fixed teeth same-day as surgery. Single 10-14 day trip. Available across all five SmileJet cities at verified clinical standards.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement protocol developed by Nobel Biocare and Dr. Paulo Maló. Four titanium implants are placed in the upper or lower jaw (two vertical at the front, two angled at the back at 30-45 degrees) to support a fixed bridge of 10-14 replacement teeth.
The angled rear implants are the core engineering insight. By tilting them, the protocol reaches denser bone in a part of the jaw where bone tends to remain even when teeth have been missing for years. This eliminates the need for bone grafting in most cases and reduces the total implant count from the 6-8 required by a traditional full-arch plan.
The result is a fixed bridge that does not come out, does not move while eating, and looks like natural teeth. Patients leave surgery the same day with a working set of temporary teeth (the provisional bridge), then receive the final permanent bridge before they fly home.
All-on-4 vs. All-on-6: All-on-4 suits most patients. All-on-6 adds two more implants for patients with heavier chewing forces, bruxism, or wider arches. Your CBCT scan determines which protocol is appropriate for your bone density and jaw anatomy.
All-on-4 prices across the five SmileJet cities
Prices are per single arch. Both arches together (upper and lower in the same trip) typically run US$12,500-14,500. See clinic-level pricing in the section below.

The All-on-4 trip timeline
All-on-4 closes in one 10-14 day trip across all five SmileJet cities. You arrive, recover, and leave Vietnam with a fixed set of permanent teeth.
Land in your chosen city, rest, hydrate. Day 2: panoramic X-ray and CBCT 3D scan, full treatment plan walkthrough, written quote confirmed, implant brand and bridge material selected.
All four implants placed under local anaesthetic (IV sedation available). Surgery takes 2-3 hours. A fixed acrylic provisional bridge is fitted the same day, so you walk out with functional teeth.
Light activity only. Soft diet. Clinic follow-up on Day 5 to confirm initial healing and check provisional bridge fit. Anti-inflammatories and antibiotics as prescribed.
Rest and light tourism. Your gums stabilise. On Days 8-9: final impressions taken for the permanent bridge. The dental lab fabricates over the next 4-5 days.
Try-in and bite adjustment of the permanent zirconia or titanium-acrylic bridge. Final cementation. You fly home with a definitive, fixed full-arch restoration.
Some cases with more complex healing profiles benefit from a second 5-7 day trip 6 months later to upgrade the provisional to the permanent bridge. This is case-by-case and confirmed at the Day 2 consultation.
Implant brands and bridge materials
Straumann (Switzerland)
The premium implant brand used for All-on-4 at top-tier SmileJet partner clinics. SLActive surface technology for faster osseointegration. Batch documentation provided on request.
Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA)
The brand that developed the original All-on-4 protocol. Nobel Active and Nobel Parallel CC are the most common systems used by partner clinic implantologists.
Osstem and Dentium (South Korea)
Korean implant brands with extensive clinical validation, now used in high-volume practices across Vietnam. Cost-effective without compromising clinical outcomes at the verified-clinic tier.
Zirconia permanent bridge
Premium, hardest, most aesthetic. Monolithic or layered zirconia. No acrylic, no metal substructure. Colour-stable over decades. Typical additional cost: US$800-1,600 per arch. Lifespan: 10-15 years.
Titanium-acrylic hybrid bridge
Mid-range option. Titanium bar with acrylic teeth pressed over it. Lighter than zirconia, repairable chairside if one tooth chips. Lower upfront cost. Lifespan: 7-10 years before replacement.
Acrylic provisional bridge
Fitted same-day as surgery. Restores immediate function and appearance during the healing phase. Replaced with the permanent bridge before departure in the single-trip protocol.
Why Vietnam for All-on-4
Largest absolute saving of any dental procedure. Single implants save US$3,500-4,000 per implant; All-on-4 saves US$15,000-25,000 per arch over Sydney or London specialist pricing. Full-mouth (both arches) savings compound to US$30,000-45,000. No other dental tourism procedure has this level of absolute dollar saving available.
Single-trip protocol. Vietnam is one of the few markets where the 10-14 day single-trip protocol is the standard, not the exception. You arrive, get implants, recover with temporary teeth for a week, collect the permanent bridge, and fly home. No three-month healing window between visits: that is the traditional single-implant protocol, not All-on-4.
Mature implantologist training. All-on-4 has twenty years of published outcome data. Vietnamese implantologists at the partner clinic tier trained in the protocol either through the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology network or internationally in South Korea, Japan, or Germany. The technique is not experimental at any SmileJet partner clinic.
Choice of five recovery environments. You will spend 10-14 days in-country with several of those in light recovery. Hoi An for UNESCO Ancient Town pace, Phu Quoc for resort beach recovery, Da Nang for coastal mid-pace, Ho Chi Minh City for climate-controlled urban recovery, Hanoi for cool-weather café culture. The clinical outcome is identical across all five cities; the recovery environment is yours to choose.
Which city for All-on-4?
Clinical outcomes are equivalent across all five SmileJet cities. Choose based on where you want to spend your 10-14 day recovery.
Ho Chi Minh City
Maximum clinic choice. Indoor air-conditioned recovery. Year-round direct flights from AU, NZ, UK. Best for decisive, schedule-led patients who want the largest clinic network.
Da Nang
Beach-walk distance from several partner clinics. My Khe Beach for easy light walks during recovery. Good flight connections to Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore.
Hoi An
The slowest recovery pace. UNESCO Ancient Town lantern streets, river cycling, minimal stimulation. Fly into Da Nang (DAD) and transfer 30 minutes by car.
Hanoi
Cool dry weather October to April, particularly comfortable for managing post-surgical swelling. Old Quarter cafes, walking culture, direct flights from Australia via Singapore.
Phu Quoc
Visa-free for all passports flying direct. Resort beach recovery. Smaller clinic network but full SmileJet verified standards apply for All-on-4 cases.
