Complex Restorative
Full mouth reconstruction in Ho Chi Minh City
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Full mouth reconstruction addresses severe dental deterioration across both arches — combining implants, All-on-4 or All-on-6, crowns, veneers, bone grafting, and extractions in a coordinated multi-trip plan. HCMC's oral surgeons and restorative dentists perform these complex cases routinely for international patients.
What full mouth reconstruction involves
Unlike a smile makeover (purely cosmetic) or All-on-4 (single arch), full mouth reconstruction is a multi-discipline treatment plan that may involve oral surgery, periodontics, implantology, and prosthetics — across both arches. Each patient's plan is different. Common components include:
Cost range for full mouth reconstruction in HCMC
Because every FMR case is unique, there is no fixed package price. The following ranges reflect typical HCMC costs based on common case profiles:
All ranges indicative. An exact quote requires a comprehensive CBCT scan and clinical review. SmileJet coordinates this with the HCMC clinic before you travel.
Typical trip structure for FMR
Full mouth reconstruction typically requires 3 trips to HCMC over 6–12 months. The exact structure depends on your treatment plan.
Surgical phase
Extractions, bone grafting (if required), implant placement, temporary prosthetics fitted. This is the longest and most intensive trip — plan for rest days after major surgery.
Osseointegration check + prosthetic phase begins
Implant integration confirmed via CBCT. Final impressions for bridges and crowns taken. Zirconia restorations fabricated (48–72h in clinic ceramics lab). Fittings begin.
Final restorations
All final crowns, bridges, and veneers fitted and adjusted. Bite checked and balanced. Full documentation provided. Final care instructions in English.
Implant systems used in HCMC full mouth reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction cases at HCMC partner clinics use the same implant systems as Australian oral surgeons. The pooled 5-year implant survival rate across systems is 94.6% (Moraschini et al. 2015, Clin Oral Investig). Your HCMC treating clinician will confirm the appropriate system based on bone density and case complexity.
Osstem / Dentium (budget)
South Korean manufacture. World's highest-volume implant companies — HCMC clinicians have exceptional familiarity with these systems. Osstem SA and TSIII surfaces offer well-documented osseointegration rates. Recommended for cost-sensitive reconstructions with adequate bone volume. From US$880 per fixture.
Straumann (premium)
Swiss manufacture. The benchmark implant system globally — 30+ years of RCT data, SLActive hydrophilic surface (fastest documented osseointegration among major systems). Preferred for complex full-arch cases and patients who require maximum long-term data assurance. From US$1,050 per fixture.
Frequently asked questions — full mouth reconstruction in HCMC
How is full mouth reconstruction different from All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a single-procedure, full-arch implant solution — four implants supporting a complete arch bridge, for patients who are edentulous or near-edentulous on one or both arches. Full mouth reconstruction is a broader term covering combined multi-discipline treatment — implants, crowns, veneers, bone grafts, periodontal treatment — planned across both arches for patients with complex mixed dental conditions.
How many HCMC trips does full mouth reconstruction require?
Typically 3 trips over 6–12 months. Trip 1 (10–14 days) covers the surgical phase — extractions, bone grafting, implant placement, and provisional prosthetics. Trip 2 (5–7 days, 3–6 months later) confirms osseointegration and begins the prosthetic phase. Trip 3 (3–5 days) delivers final restorations. Complex cases may require additional visits.
Will my HCMC treating team co-ordinate with my dentist at home?
Yes. SmileJet provides a full patient record including CBCT scans, treatment plan documentation, implant batch numbers, and prosthetic records. These are shared with your home dentist for their records. HCMC treating clinicians are available for remote follow-up consultations via SmileJet where clinically relevant.
What is the treatment coordination support for full mouth reconstruction?
The SmileJet treatment coordination support covers implant fixture failure (osseointegration failure), crown and bridge defects, and veneer failure within 12 months of final restoration. Given the complexity of FMR cases, SmileJet maintains close follow-up with both the patient and the HCMC treating clinic throughout the guarantee period.
Full mouth reconstruction in HCMC vs at home
The saving on a full mouth reconstruction is the most compelling case for dental travel — typical HCMC cases cost 65–80% less than equivalent treatment in Australia, New Zealand, or the UK.
| Case profile | HCMC (AUD) | Australia (AUD) | Net saving (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both arches All-on-4 (full edentulous) | A$20,500–30,600 | A$70,000–120,000 | A$45,000–90,000 |
| Upper arch All-on-4 + lower crowns + veneers | A$18,360–27,540 | A$60,000–90,000 | A$38,000–65,000 |
| 6–8 implants + full arch crown overlay | A$21,420–33,660 | A$65,000–100,000 | A$38,000–70,000 |
| Partial reconstruction (4–6 implants, one arch) | A$9,180–16,830 | A$30,000–55,000 | A$18,000–40,000 |
Net saving estimates after deducting A$4,000–6,000 for three HCMC trips (flights, accommodation, living costs). Treatment costs in AUD at 1 USD = 1.53 AUD. Australia prices indicative from AHPRA-registered specialist oral surgeon published rates.
How HCMC clinics plan complex full mouth cases
Full mouth reconstruction at HCMC partner clinics involves a structured pre-treatment planning process. These four criteria determine how the case is sequenced and how many trips are required.
CBCT-led bone assessment before any commitment
Every full mouth reconstruction case at SmileJet-verified HCMC clinics begins with a CBCT scan — either submitted from your home city before travel or taken at the first HCMC appointment. The CBCT maps bone volume at all proposed implant sites, sinus proximity, and nerve canal positions. This data determines whether bone grafts or sinus lifts are required, which implant lengths and widths are clinically appropriate, and whether the All-on-4 angulation protocol is feasible without grafting. No surgical commitment is made before the CBCT review is complete and the treatment plan is in writing.
Arch-by-arch treatment sequencing
For cases involving both arches, HCMC clinicians plan the sequence based on bone healing requirements and the patient's functional priority. Typically the arch with greater bone loss or more extractions is treated first — allowing osseointegration to begin while the second arch is prepped. Cases involving both All-on-4 arches are frequently completed in the same surgical session to minimise total trip count. The HCMC clinic prepares a written week-by-week treatment sequence before the first appointment.
Prosthetic material selection matched to case complexity
Full mouth reconstruction involves decisions about provisional (temporary) materials as well as final restorations. HCMC partner clinics use acrylic or PMMA provisionals during osseointegration periods — these are designed for function and appearance but with understanding that the final zirconia bridges are fitted at Trip 2. For the final restorations, the material choice (monolithic zirconia vs layered zirconia vs E.max for cosmetic zone teeth) is planned by the ceramist in collaboration with the treating clinician before the case begins.
Systemic health review and risk stratification
Complex full mouth reconstruction cases are assessed for systemic health factors that affect healing and osseointegration: diabetes (HbA1c reviewed), anticoagulant medications, bisphosphonate history, immune-suppressive conditions, and smoking status. HCMC partner clinics with oral surgeon involvement have documented protocols for managing medically complex cases. If your case has systemic health factors, SmileJet ensures the matched clinic has documented experience with your specific condition before travel.
Start your HCMC reconstruction assessment
Complex cases require a CBCT review before quoting. Send your existing scans and SmileJet will coordinate a full treatment plan from a verified HCMC oral surgeon. No charge for the assessment.
