What a single implant actually costs

A single dental implant with crown in Vietnam costs US$850 to US$1,150 across the five SmileJet partner cities, compared with A$4,500 to A$5,500 at a Sydney specialist, a saving of approximately 75% using the same Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem, or Dentium implant system.

The price range reflects brand tier and city: Straumann and Nobel Biocare run US$1,000 to US$1,150, Osstem and Dentium run US$850 to US$950. Da Nang is typically the lowest-priced city; Hanoi and Phu Quoc sit at the top of the range. Every quoted price includes the CBCT 3D scan, surgical placement, abutment, standard crown, and all follow-up visits during the trip. Bone grafting (US$300 to US$700 per site when needed) and IV sedation (US$200 to US$400) are the most common case additions.

For single-implant patients from Sydney, total trip plus procedure cost runs A$3,200 to A$5,800 versus A$4,500 to A$5,500 for the procedure alone at home: roughly break-even on small cases, substantial savings on full-arch and multi-implant cases.

Case additions

What may add to the case

Bone grafting: US$300-700 per site, when CBCT reveals insufficient bone density. Common in patients with extended tooth-loss history.
Sinus lift: US$700-1,200 when upper-jaw implants need to extend close to the sinus floor. Adds healing time as well.
Tooth extraction (if not yet extracted): US$60-150 per tooth. Sometimes done at the placement appointment for immediate-load cases.
Premium crown materials: Zirconia at US$320-480 vs the included PFM crown. E.max for highly aesthetic anterior cases is sometimes recommended.
IV sedation: US$200-400 per session, available at most partner clinics for anxious patients. Local anaesthetic is the default.

Trip plus procedure

Trip cost added to procedure cost

For a typical Sydney-based patient on a single-implant case:

Flights x 2 (placement + crown trips): A$960-1,920
Accommodation x 9 nights total: A$540-1,350 (mid-range)
Meals + ground transport: A$360-720
E-visa fees x 2: A$76
Trip total roughly A$1,936-4,066, plus the procedure at roughly A$1,300-1,750.
Total Vietnam path: A$3,236-5,816 vs Sydney specialist A$4,500-5,500.

For single-implant cases, Vietnam vs Sydney is roughly break-even to modestly cheaper depending on travel choices. The case is worth doing in Vietnam if you also want the trip experience or you are pairing with other treatment. For larger cases (All-on-4, full mouth), the savings compound substantially. See the full savings calculation.

Planning your trip

Planning your implant trip to Vietnam

Pre-travel CBCT review

SmileJet coordinates a pre-travel CBCT scan review so the partner clinic assesses bone suitability before you book flights. If bone grafting is indicated, it is confirmed in writing in your treatment plan upfront, not discovered on Day 1 of your trip. This removes the most common source of on-arrival surprise costs in dental tourism.

One trip vs two trips: how to plan

Standard single-implant cases require two trips separated by 3 months. Patients who want to minimise trips should ask their treating dentist about immediate-load protocols, available where bone density allows. For same-day provisional crowns (flip-top or CEREC), some partner clinics can fit a temporary crown on the placement day so you leave with a functional tooth, returning only once for the final zirconia crown.

Combining implants with other treatment

Most patients who travel for a single implant also address adjacent work: whitening, veneer consultations, hygiene, or other crown replacements. Including these in the same trip maximises the return on flights and accommodation. Your treatment coordinator maps the full scope at the planning stage.

Which city for a single implant

Da Nang offers the lowest per-tooth prices in the SmileJet network. HCMC has the largest clinic choice and fastest scheduling. Hanoi suits October-April travel for heat-sensitive patients. Phu Quoc suits patients who want the 30-day visa-free entry and resort recovery. For a single-implant case, any city is clinically adequate: the decision is about trip experience.

Frequently asked

Dental implant cost in Vietnam, answered

Does the quoted price include the CBCT scan?

Yes. Every SmileJet partner clinic quote includes the CBCT 3D scan, consultation, surgical placement, abutment, and standard crown. There are no separate line items for imaging. The only additions that appear after the initial quote are case-specific: bone grafting if the CBCT reveals insufficient bone density, sinus lift for upper-jaw cases where the sinus floor is close, or a premium crown upgrade from the included PFM crown to full-contour zirconia or E.max.

Why is Da Nang cheaper than Hanoi or Phu Quoc?

Clinical quality across SmileJet partner cities is equivalent: the same implant brands, the same sterilisation standards, the same CAD/CAM crown systems. Da Nang's lower pricing reflects lower commercial property costs and a more price-competitive local dental market. For patients whose priority is the lowest possible procedure cost, Da Nang is typically the city to target. Phu Quoc sits at the higher end of the range due to the resort-destination cost base.

How does the two-trip structure affect the total cost?

Single-implant cases require two trips: Trip 1 (placement, 4 days) and Trip 2 (crown fitting, 5 days), separated by 3 months of healing at home. Each trip has its own flights and accommodation cost. For Sydney-based patients, two economy returns to HCMC cost approximately A$960 to A$1,920; 9 nights of accommodation adds A$540 to A$1,350. Patients who can combine the trip with a holiday or business travel reduce the effective trip cost significantly.

Is bone grafting always required?

No. Bone grafting is required only when the CBCT scan reveals insufficient bone volume or density at the implant site, typically in patients with extended tooth-loss history or significant gum disease. SmileJet coordinates a pre-travel CBCT review so the clinic can assess bone suitability before you book flights. If grafting is indicated, this is confirmed in writing in your treatment plan before you travel, not discovered on Day 1 of your trip.

Which implant brand gives the best value for money in Vietnam?

This depends on your definition of value. Osstem and Dentium (US$850 to US$950) are FDA-cleared Korean systems with strong 10-year outcome data in Asian populations and a substantial published evidence base. Straumann and Nobel Biocare (US$1,000 to US$1,150) carry a longer Western clinical history and slightly stronger data in soft-bone cases. For most standard single-implant cases, Osstem or Dentium represent excellent clinical value. For full-arch All-on-4 cases, many clinicians recommend Nobel Biocare for the stronger longitudinal outcome data on the specific All-on-4 system.
