Full-Arch Restoration

All-on-6 dental implants in Ho Chi Minh City

By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026

All-on-6 uses six implants per arch – two more than All-on-4 – for cases where bone density, arch width, or biting force requirements make the extra fixation points clinically indicated. HCMC's oral surgeons perform All-on-6 routinely. From US$7,900 per arch (A$12,087).

All-on-6 vs All-on-4 – which do you need?

All-on-4 All-on-6
Implants per arch 4 6
Bone volume required Moderate (angled posterior implants work around limited bone) Higher (6 points need adequate bone volume across the arch)
Primary indication Most full-arch cases – good all-round option Higher biting force, wider arches, or where extra stability is clinically indicated
HCMC price from US$6,700 (A$10,251) US$7,900 (A$12,087)
Australian price from A$20,000 per arch A$28,000 per arch
Treatment trips 2 (surgery + final bridge) 2 (surgery + final bridge)
Osseointegration period 3–6 months 3–6 months

Which is right for you?

Your HCMC treating clinician determines this from your CBCT scan – not from symptoms or preference. Most full-arch cases are appropriately treated with All-on-4. All-on-6 is typically indicated where: (1) bone density is high and arch is wide; (2) the patient has a strong biting force (bruxism history); or (3) the clinician determines six points provide a meaningfully better distribution of load for your specific arch anatomy. SmileJet will confirm which protocol is indicated in your case before you travel.

The two-trip protocol

Trip 1 (7–10 days)

Surgery + temporary prosthetic

- Day 1: Arrival in HCMC, rest
- Day 2: Consultation, CBCT scan, final treatment plan
- Day 3: Surgery – 6 implant fixtures placed, temporary fixed prosthetic fitted same day
- Days 4–7: Recovery in HCMC – soft diet, hotel rest, gentle city walking
- Day 7–8: Post-op check, travel clearance issued
- Fly home with a functional temporary prosthetic – eating and speaking normally
Trip 2 (3–5 days, 3–6 months later)

Final bridge fitting

- Day 1: Arrival, rest
- Day 2: Osseointegration confirmed, final bridge impressions/scan
- Day 3: Final zirconia bridge fitted and adjusted
- Day 4: Final check, care instructions, departure
- Return home with permanent full-arch restoration

Who is a good candidate for All-on-6?

Good candidates

Adequate bone density across the full arch
CBCT confirms sufficient bone volume for 6 fixture placements without extensive grafting
Strong biting force or bruxism history
More implants distribute load better – clinically appropriate for heavy grinders
Wider arch anatomy
Some arch widths benefit from the additional posterior fixation points that All-on-6 provides
High aesthetic expectations for full-arch work
More implants can support a prosthetic with improved load distribution and potentially longer lifespan

May need All-on-4 instead

Significant bone loss in posterior regions
All-on-4's angled posterior implants are specifically designed to work around bone loss – often more practical than grafting for All-on-6
Sinus proximity
If sinus anatomy limits posterior implant depth, All-on-4's tilted approach is often the better solution
Budget constraints
All-on-4 delivers a full-arch restoration at a lower price point – clinically appropriate in most cases

All-on-6 implant survival and brand choice in HCMC

The pooled 5-year implant survival rate across systems is 94.6% (Moraschini et al. 2015, Clin Oral Investig). HCMC partner clinics offer two brand tiers for All-on-6 – both with strong clinical foundations.

Osstem / Dentium Straumann / Nobel Biocare
Origin South Korea Switzerland / USA
All-on-6 HCMC price (per arch) From US$7,900 (A$12,087) From US$9,500 (A$14,535)
Clinical data 20+ years RCT data 30+ years RCT data
Surface technology SA/TSIII – osseoconductive SLActive – hydrophilic, faster integration
Best for Cost-sensitive patients; equivalent outcomes Complex cases; maximum data assurance

HCMC is Vietnam\'s All-on-6 referral centre. Phu Quoc and Hoi An refer complex full-arch cases to HCMC oral surgeons. Year-round tropical climate means no seasonal scheduling pressure for the 3–6 month osseointegration window between trips.

Frequently asked questions – All-on-6 in HCMC

Why does HCMC handle All-on-6 cases from Phu Quoc and Hoi An?

HCMC is Vietnam's most sophisticated implant centre. Its density of All-on-6 specialists, CBCT imaging capability, and international hospital backup make it the preferred referral destination for complex full-arch cases from smaller Vietnamese resort cities. SmileJet routes All-on-6 cases to HCMC by default.

Is All-on-6 permanent?

The implant fixtures are permanent – they fuse with the jawbone and do not require removal. The zirconia bridge is fixed (not removable) and designed to last 15–20 years under normal function. The bridge may eventually need replacement after 15–20 years, but the fixtures typically remain in place indefinitely.

How do I recover in HCMC after All-on-6 surgery?

The first 3–5 days after surgery involve swelling, soft-diet eating, and rest. Most patients are comfortable for gentle city walks by Day 4. A weekend in Phu Quoc (45-minute flight) or the Mekong Delta (2-hour drive) is feasible during the recovery window if you feel up to light travel. Your HCMC treating clinician will confirm your fitness to travel before you leave the clinic district.

Is bone grafting always required for All-on-6?

Not always – but more often than for All-on-4. All-on-6 places 6 implants including at the far posterior of the arch, where bone loss from tooth absence is common. Bone augmentation (ridge augmentation from US$360 or sinus lift from US$450) may be required and is identified from your CBCT scan before travel. These costs are itemised separately in your quote.

What is the NZD and GBP cost of All-on-6 in HCMC?

All-on-6 per arch (Osstem) starts from NZ$13,825 or £6,241. Both arches from NZ$24,150 or £10,902. The same treatment in New Zealand or the UK would typically cost NZ$35,000–50,000 or £20,000–35,000 per arch respectively.

All-on-6 total two-trip budget for Australians and New Zealanders
