All-on-6 Cost in Vietnam

By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026

All-on-6 is the six-implant variant of full-arch reconstruction — used when bone volume supports six placements rather than four, giving better load distribution across the arch and improved prosthetic longevity under heavier bite forces. Across the five SmileJet Vietnamese cities, All-on-6 ranges US$7,825–US$9,650 per arch, compared with A$30,000–A$45,000 at a Sydney specialist using the same Nobel Biocare or Straumann implant components. Two trips are standard: the first for surgical placement of six implants and a same-day acrylic provisional bridge (10–14 days), and the second 4–6 months later for the final zirconia bridge fitting (5–7 days). The osseointegration biology is identical to All-on-4 — the difference is mechanical, not biological. The typical total saving for a single-arch case — including two weeks of Vietnamese accommodation — is A$16,000 or more versus Sydney. For both arches, the saving roughly doubles. All five SmileJet cities are covered by the same country-wide treatment coordination support.

Hoi An	Refer Da Nang	Refer Da Nang
Phu Quoc	Refer HCMC	Refer HCMC

Hoi An and Phu Quoc do not run All-on-6 in-house; SmileJet routes those enquiries to Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City partner clinics respectively. Both-arch pricing reflects a typical 5-8% combined-case discount versus two single-arch cases booked separately.

By bridge material

Provisional acrylic (included)

Same-trip

Acrylic with metal reinforcement, fitted same-day as surgery. Stays in for 4-6 months while gums heal and implants integrate. Functional but not designed for hard chewing.

Final zirconia bridge

+US$1,800 – +US$3,200 over base

Hardest, most natural-looking, longest-lasting. Replaces the provisional at 6 months. Premium choice for All-on-6 patients who want the longest service life.

Final titanium-supported acrylic-on-titanium (TAT)

+US$900 – +US$1,800 over base

Lighter than zirconia, easier to repair chairside, slightly less premium aesthetics. Mid-range choice.

Final acrylic-on-titanium upgrade

Often included in base

Many partner clinics include the final acrylic bridge in the base case price; only zirconia upgrades carry an additional charge.

By implant brand

Brand tier	All-on-6 per arch	Warranty
Osstem / Dentium	US$7,825	10-year warranty
Straumann / Nobel Biocare	US$9,650	Lifetime warranty

Brand premium is roughly 23% for Straumann/Nobel over Osstem/Dentium. Pooled five-year survival rates are statistically equivalent across these brands (94.6% pooled five-year survival, Moraschini et al. 2015) — the premium reflects warranty length, component-supply continuity, and prosthetic library breadth rather than a clinical survival difference.

What changes the price

Case complexity is the largest single driver of variation within a given brand and bridge material. The most common add-ons:

Bone graft per site: +US$345–605
Sinus lift, lateral approach: +US$605
Sinus lift, crestal approach: +US$345
IV sedation: +US$200
CBCT 3D scan: typically included
Same-day teeth (immediate loading): often included where torque values support it

All-on-6 vs All-on-4

All-on-6 distributes occlusal load across six implants instead of four, which improves long-term performance under heavier bite forces and is generally preferred where posterior bone volume supports it. The marginal cost premium over All-on-4 is roughly US$1,200 per arch, primarily reflecting the two additional implants and the slightly longer surgical time.

All-on-4 uses tilted distal implants to bypass low posterior bone, making it the right choice when a sinus lift would otherwise be required to place rear implants vertically. Most patients are biologically suited to either protocol; the choice usually comes down to bone volume on the CBCT scan and surgeon preference. Your treating dentist makes the recommendation after reviewing the 3D scan during your initial consultation.

Two-trip protocol

Trip 1 (10–14 days): CBCT 3D planning, surgical placement of six implants under local anaesthetic (IV sedation optional), same-day acrylic provisional bridge, and initial healing follow-ups before you fly home.

Trip 2 (5–7 days, 4–6 months later): final zirconia bridge fitting, bite adjustment sessions, and a written treatment record in English. The 4–6 month gap allows full osseointegration of the six implants before the permanent bridge is loaded.

Trip cost added

For a typical Sydney-based patient on a single-arch All-on-6:

Flight (single trip, 10-14 days): A$480-960
Accommodation x 14 nights: A$840-2,100 (mid-range)
Meals + ground transport: A$560-1,120
E-visa fee: A$38
Trip total roughly A$1,918-4,218, plus procedure at A$11,950-14,750.
Total Vietnam path: A$13,868-18,968 vs Sydney specialist A$30,000-45,000.

All-on-6 carries a slightly larger absolute saving than All-on-4 because the Sydney baseline is higher. Roughly A$16,000-26,000 saved per arch, even after factoring in two weeks of Vietnamese accommodation. For both-arch cases, the saving roughly doubles.

All-on-6 Vietnam FAQ

Is All-on-6 worth the extra cost over All-on-4?

For patients with sufficient posterior bone volume, All-on-6 is generally preferred by oral surgeons for its load distribution. Six implants spread bite forces more evenly across the arch, reducing the stress per implant — particularly relevant for patients with strong bite forces or heavier posterior occlusion. The marginal cost premium (roughly US$1,200 per arch) is modest relative to the overall case cost. If your CBCT shows adequate posterior bone, your treating dentist may recommend All-on-6 as the more durable long-term option.

Which Vietnamese city is best for All-on-6?

Ho Chi Minh City has the largest All-on-6 surgical volume in Vietnam and the widest choice of full-arch specialists. Hanoi's top partner clinics have strong full-arch experience and a cooler recovery climate (October–April). Da Nang handles standard All-on-6 well and suits patients combining treatment with beach recovery. Hoi An refers complex full-arch cases to Da Nang. For All-on-6 specifically, HCMC and Hanoi are the primary cities for patients wanting maximum specialist depth and scheduling flexibility.

Does All-on-6 require bone grafting?

Not always. All-on-6 is suited to patients with adequate posterior bone who do not require the tilted-implant approach of All-on-4. Where posterior bone volume is borderline, bone grafting may be recommended to provide sufficient support for vertically-placed rear implants. The CBCT 3D scan at the first consultation confirms whether grafting is required. Patients who need sinus lifts for upper-jaw cases should factor in additional healing time of 4–6 months before implant placement. SmileJet coordinates a pre-travel CBCT review to confirm bone suitability before you book flights.

How do I compare All-on-6 quotes from multiple Vietnamese clinics?

Ask each clinic to confirm: which implant brand is included in the quoted price; whether the quote is for the provisional acrylic bridge only or includes the final zirconia bridge; whether CBCT 3D scanning, abutments, and temporary bridge are included; and whether bone grafting or sinus lift would trigger additional charges identified after arrival. SmileJet standardises all partner clinic quotes to a common line-item format so you are comparing equivalent scope — not base price against a fully-loaded price.

All-on-6 vs All-on-4: practical differences

Load distribution: why six implants?

Six implants spread the bite load across a wider surface area of the jawbone. All-on-4 concentrates load on four points, with the rear two implants angled to compensate. All-on-6 uses two additional vertical rear implants for a more even distribution. Patients with heavy bite forces, bruxism (teeth-grinding), or denser bone architecture typically benefit from the extra two implants.

Cost difference in Vietnam

All-on-6 costs roughly US$1,300-2,250 more per arch than All-on-4 in Vietnam (US$7,825-9,650 vs US$6,500-7,400). For both arches, the total premium is US$2,600-4,500. On a total-trip basis from Sydney, this is A$3,978-6,885 extra — a meaningful but not prohibitive difference for patients where the anatomy supports and clinician recommends six implants.

Surgery duration and recovery

All-on-6 surgery runs approximately 30-45 minutes longer per arch than All-on-4 due to the two additional implant placements. Post-surgical recovery is similar: soft food for 6-8 weeks, healing osseointegration over 4-6 months before the permanent bridge fitting. Trip length for the placement visit is the same — 10-14 days.

Bridge compatibility

All-on-6 is compatible with the same bridge options as All-on-4: provisional acrylic same-day, final acrylic-on-titanium (TAT), or full-contour zirconia on the second trip. Zirconia bridge cost is comparable between All-on-4 and All-on-6 — the extra implants are the main cost driver, not the bridge itself.
