What All-on-4 involves at Phu Quoc clinics
Pre-surgical assessment
A CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray are reviewed before your trip is confirmed. SmileJet assesses bone volume, sinus proximity, and implant angulation suitability. Only straightforward cases — adequate posterior bone, no bilateral sinus lift required — proceed on the island.
Implant placement (Day 1–2)
Four implants are placed under local anaesthetic with sedation available. The posterior two implants are angled at 30–45 degrees to avoid the sinus and maximise bone contact. A temporary acrylic bridge is fitted the same day or next morning.
Recovery and temporaries
The first 3–5 days involve soft food only, gentle oral hygiene, and low physical activity. Phu Quoc's beach setting — and access to soft tropical foods — suits this phase well. Short snorkelling or pool sessions after day 5 are generally fine.
Final prosthesis — Trip 2
Osseointegration takes 3–6 months. You return for the final zirconia or acrylic full-arch prosthesis on a second trip. Each new Phu Quoc entry begins a fresh 30-day visa-free window. Complex All-on-6 or bilateral sinus lift cases are referred to HCMC.
What affects All-on-4 cost in Phu Quoc?
Implant brand chosen
Osstem and Dentium (South Korean) are the lower-cost tier — from A$10,251 per arch. Straumann and Nobel Biocare (Swiss/US premium) start from A$12,240 per arch. Clinical outcomes are comparable; brand choice affects cost and prestige.
Bone grafting required
Patients with significant bone loss may need bone grafting before or during implant placement. Each graft site adds A$536–A$842 to the total cost. CBCT assessment before travel confirms grafting requirements and total cost.
Prosthesis type
Temporary acrylic bridge (Trip 1) and final zirconia or acrylic bridge (Trip 2) are both included in the Phu Quoc quote. Zirconia full-arch bridges are the premium option — stronger and more aesthetic than acrylic. Confirm what is included in your itemised quote.
Single arch vs dual arch
Single-arch All-on-4 (upper or lower jaw only) from A$10,251. Dual-arch (both upper and lower) from A$20,502. Most patients treat both arches — the per-arch saving on dual-arch cases is modest, but the combined treatment reduces total trips required.
All-on-4 in Phu Quoc — frequently asked questions
Can I get All-on-4 done entirely in Phu Quoc?
Straightforward single-arch cases with adequate bone volume can be completed on the island. The surgical trip (Trip 1) and the final prosthesis fitting (Trip 2, 3–6 months later) both happen at the Phu Quoc clinic. Complex cases requiring bilateral sinus lifts or zygomatic implants are referred to HCMC partner clinics before any island booking is confirmed.
How much cheaper is All-on-4 in Phu Quoc vs Australia?
A single arch All-on-4 with Osstem implants starts from A$10,251 in Phu Quoc. The equivalent in Sydney or Melbourne typically runs A$28,000–38,000 per arch — a saving of up to A$27,749 on a single arch, and over A$55,000 for a dual-arch case.
What implant brands are used?
Osstem (South Korean, budget tier) and Straumann (Swiss, premium tier) are the two main options at SmileJet-verified Phu Quoc clinics. Osstem offers excellent clinical outcomes at a lower price point — it is the most widely used implant brand in Asia. Straumann is the global gold standard and carries a price premium of roughly 20%.
Is the 30-day visa-free window enough for All-on-4?
Yes — for Trip 1. All-on-4 surgery plus the temporary bridge fitting typically takes 3–5 clinic days. The 30-day window covers the procedure plus recovery time comfortably. Trip 2 (final prosthesis) is a second separate entry, which also qualifies for a fresh 30-day visa-free window.
Can I snorkel or swim after All-on-4 surgery?
Avoid ocean swimming and snorkelling for the first 5–7 days after implant placement. Pool use at your own pace from day 5 is generally fine. Full water activity resumes around day 10. The Phu Quoc clinic provides a detailed post-op guide at discharge.
Questions to ask before committing to All-on-4 in Phu Quoc
Is the final prosthesis zirconia or acrylic?
The base All-on-4 price at some clinics uses an acrylic temporary as the final prosthesis, with zirconia as an upgrade. At SmileJet-verified Phu Quoc clinics, confirm whether the Trip 2 bridge is milled zirconia or reinforced acrylic, and what the price difference is between them. Zirconia is stronger and more aesthetic for long-term use.
What bone grafts are anticipated?
Ask whether your pre-travel imaging indicates any bone grafts are likely. Each graft site adds from A$536 to the total cost. Knowing the graft expectation before you fly avoids cost surprises after arrival. SmileJet reviews your OPG or CBCT before confirming cost estimates.
Will both trips happen at the same clinic?
Trip 1 (placement) and Trip 2 (final bridge) can both be completed at the Phu Quoc clinic. Some patients opt to have Trip 2 at an HCMC clinic or their home dentist if they cannot return to Phu Quoc. Confirm the Trip 2 protocol and what documentation the Phu Quoc clinic provides for a remote crown-fitting clinician.
Is IV sedation available?
All-on-4 placement under local anaesthetic is standard practice. IV sedation for patients with surgical anxiety is available at some but not all Phu Quoc clinics. If sedation is a firm requirement, confirm its availability at your specific clinic before booking. Sedation adds cost and requires a longer post-operative recovery period before safe discharge.
