All-on-6 cost in Vietnam
Single-arch All-on-6 pricing across the five SmileJet Vietnamese cities, broken out by bridge material, by case complexity, and by city.
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 and improved prosthetic longevity under heavier bite forces. Across the five SmileJet Vietnamese cities it ranges US$7,825 to US$9,650 per arch, compared with A$30,000 to A$45,000 at a Sydney specialist using the same Nobel Biocare or Straumann components. Two trips are standard: surgical placement plus a same-day acrylic provisional (10 to 14 days), then the final zirconia bridge 4 to 6 months later (5 to 7 days). The osseointegration biology is identical to All-on-4; the difference is mechanical, not biological. Typical single-arch saving, including two weeks of accommodation, is A$16,000 or more versus Sydney; for both arches it roughly doubles.
What All-on-6 costs in each city
Single-arch and both-arch ranges across the five SmileJet cities. Hoi An and Phu Quoc route All-on-6 enquiries to Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City partner clinics respectively.
| City | Single arch (US$) | Both arches (US$) |
|---|---|---|
| Hanoi | $7,825 – 9,650 | $15,300 – 18,800 |
| Ho Chi Minh City | $7,950 – 9,790 | $15,600 – 19,200 |
| Da Nang | $7,825 – 9,650 | $15,400 – 18,800 |
| 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 to 8% combined-case discount versus two single-arch cases booked separately. | ||
Provisional and final bridge options
Provisional acrylic (included)
Same-trip
Acrylic with metal reinforcement, fitted same-day as surgery. Stays in for 4 to 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.
Brand tier and warranty
| 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. | ||
Case complexity add-ons
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
Why six implants, and when
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.
How the treatment is staged
Trip 1 (10 to 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 to 7 days, 4 to 6 months later): final zirconia bridge fitting, bite adjustment sessions, and a written treatment record in English. The 4 to 6 month gap allows full osseointegration of the six implants before the permanent bridge is loaded.

Total Vietnam path from Sydney
For a typical Sydney-based patient on a single-arch All-on-6:
- Flight (single trip, 10 to 14 days): A$480–960
- Accommodation x 14 nights: A$840–2,100 (mid-range)
- Meals and 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.
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 to 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 to 8 weeks, healing osseointegration over 4 to 6 months before the permanent bridge fitting. Trip length for the placement visit is the same, 10 to 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.
