Why patients choose HCMC for dental implants
Ho Chi Minh City has the highest density of internationally-trained implantologists in Vietnam. For complex cases — full-arch reconstruction, significant bone loss, same-day implants — HCMC offers more specialist options than any other Vietnamese city.
The year-round tropical climate means there is no bad season for travel. Patients from cold climates regularly extend their trip with a weekend in Phu Quoc (45-minute flight) or the Mekong Delta (2-hour drive). The city infrastructure is the most mature in the network: international hospitals are nearby for any backup, and the implant brands stocked are identical to Australian specialist practices.
The pooled 5-year implant survival rate in peer-reviewed literature is 94.6% (Moraschini et al. 2015 systematic review, Clin Oral Investig). This is the benchmark SmileJet holds all HCMC partner clinics to, tracking every patient outcome for 12 months post-treatment.

- —South Korean manufacturer — world's largest implant company by volume
- —SA and TSIII surface — well-documented osseointegration data

Straumann (from US$1,050)

The pooled 5-year implant survival rate across systems is 94.6% (Moraschini et al. 2015, Clin Oral Investig). SmileJet tracks all patient outcomes for 12 months post-treatment at HCMC partner clinics.
Frequently asked questions — dental implants in HCMC
How many trips to HCMC does a single implant require?
Most single implants require two trips: Trip 1 for implant fixture placement and osseointegration (healing period of 3–4 months), and Trip 2 for the abutment and crown fitting. Some cases — where immediate loading is appropriate — can be completed with a provisional crown on Trip 1, with the final crown fitted on Trip 2.
Does HCMC have the same implant brands as Australia?
Yes. SmileJet-verified HCMC clinics stock Osstem, Dentium, Straumann, and Nobel Biocare — the same brands used by Australian implant specialists. Material provenance is confirmed during SmileJet's clinic verification process.
What if I need a bone graft?
Bone grafting (ridge augmentation from US$360 / A$551; sinus lift from US$450 / A$689) is available at HCMC partner clinics. Whether a graft is needed is determined from your CBCT scan — SmileJet co-ordinates this assessment before you travel. Grafting adds 3–6 months to the overall timeline.
Is HCMC safe for implant surgery?
HCMC has multiple international-standard hospitals within 15 minutes of all featured partner clinics. SmileJet-verified clinics use Class 5 sterilisation protocols, single-use surgical kits, and digital implant planning. The city's implantologist density is the highest in Vietnam.
What affects the cost of dental implants in HCMC
The "from US$880" starting price for a single implant covers the implant fixture, abutment, and zirconia crown at Osstem or Dentium tier. Several factors determine your final cost.
Implant brand choice
Osstem and Dentium (Korean) start from US$880 including crown. Straumann and Nobel Biocare (Swiss and US) start from US$1,050. The brand determines the manufacturer warranty period and the global service network for future component needs — not the clinical outcome quality.
Number of implants
Single implant pricing applies per unit. Multiple implants placed in the same surgical session may qualify for volume pricing at some HCMC partner clinics. SmileJet confirms applicable discounts in your itemised quote — these are not assumed.
Bone grafting requirement
If your CBCT shows insufficient bone volume for direct implant placement, a bone graft or sinus lift is required before or at the time of surgery. Bone graft from A$551, sinus lift from A$689. Determined only after CBCT review — SmileJet ensures this is clarified before you book flights.
Immediate vs delayed loading
Immediate loading (provisional crown on the day of surgery) adds clinical time and a temporary prosthetic component — typically an additional A$245–350 per tooth. Delayed loading (waiting 3–4 months before abutment and crown) is standard and included in the from-price.
The HCMC implant process step by step
Most single implant cases in HCMC require two trips separated by 3–4 months for osseointegration. Here is the full sequence from first contact to final crown.
Implant brands at HCMC clinics
SmileJet-verified HCMC clinics stock four major implant systems. Your choice of brand affects price and the manufacturer's global service network — not clinical outcome quality, where all four systems exceed the 94.6% five-year survival benchmark.
Osstem
US$850–950 per implantSouth Korea
World's largest implant company by units shipped. SA surface with strong osseointegration data. 20+ years of peer-reviewed literature. Excellent value for money. Most widely placed brand at HCMC partner clinics.
Dentium
US$850–950 per implantSouth Korea
Korean manufacturer with Implantium and SuperLine systems. SA surface, similar clinical data profile to Osstem. Competitive pricing, robust long-term follow-up data in Asian patient populations.
Straumann
US$1,050–1,200 per implantSwitzerland
The global benchmark. SLActive hydrophilic surface reduces osseointegration time. 30+ years of RCT data, the most published implant system worldwide. Preferred for complex cases and patients requiring maximum clinical documentation.
Nobel Biocare
US$1,000–1,150 per implantUSA/Sweden
Nobel Active and Nobel Replace systems. Strong all-on-4 and full-arch clinical track record. Widely stocked at HCMC clinics offering full-arch restoration alongside single-tooth cases.
All prices include implant fixture, abutment, and zirconia crown. Confirm brand availability with your matched HCMC clinic before travel. SmileJet itemises the brand in every quote.
Bone grafting in HCMC: what to expect
A significant proportion of dental implant patients — particularly those who have had missing teeth for more than a year — require bone grafting before or at the time of implant surgery. HCMC has the highest concentration of oral surgeons experienced in bone augmentation in Vietnam.
Ridge augmentation (bone graft)
From US$360 / A$551 per site
Replaces lost bone volume in the implant site using processed bone material (xenograft or synthetic). Placed at the time of extraction or at a separate appointment before implant surgery. Healing period: 3–6 months before implant placement. Most commonly required in the lower front and upper premolar regions where bone resorbs quickly after tooth loss.
Sinus lift
From US$450 / A$689 per side
Required when upper back teeth are missing and the sinus floor has dropped below the level needed for implant placement. The sinus membrane is lifted and bone graft material packed beneath it. Lateral or crestal approach depending on available bone height. Healing: 4–6 months before implant placement. HCMC oral surgeons perform lateral sinus lifts routinely — availability is excellent.
Socket preservation
From US$180 / A$275 per site
Bone material placed into the extraction socket at the time of tooth removal to slow post-extraction bone loss. Recommended when an implant is planned but surgery will be delayed 3+ months. Significantly reduces the risk of needing a larger graft later. Often performed at HCMC partner clinics at the same appointment as extraction.
Do I need a bone graft?
Confirmed from CBCT scan only
The only way to determine whether a bone graft is required is from a CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scan showing 3D bone volume. Symptom-based guesses are unreliable. SmileJet coordinates your CBCT review with a verified HCMC implantologist before you travel — graft needs are confirmed in your treatment plan and itemised in your quote so there are no surprises when you arrive.
