Dental implants Vietnam cost for Australians, line by line

Dental implants Vietnam cost at a glance

Here are the published prices side by side, each in its own currency.

• The two columns use different money.
• Dental Link publishes its Vietnam prices in US dollars, and Finder gives Australian prices in Australian dollars.
• To see the price in Australian dollars, use the rate your bank will charge on the day you pay.
• The budget worksheet does this sum for you.

What is inside one implant price?

Think of one implant as three items on a bill.

1. The post. A small screw set into the jaw.
2. The abutment. A short connector on top of it.
3. The crown. The visible false tooth.

A price that covers only the post is not a full implant price, so check first that a quote names all three.

• A written quote should also name the implant maker and model, so you can show it to a dentist in Australia later.
• Ask which crown material the price assumes, such as zirconia or porcelain fused to metal.

The full bill, line by line

Here are the main lines, in the order you are likely to pay them. A line with no number is one where the price depends on your case or your own bookings. We do not print a guess.

• Lines 1 to 9 come from the clinic. Lines 10 to 15 are yours.
• Meals, taxis and phone data are day to day spending on top, and you know those better than we do.
• The total to hold against an Australian quote is all fifteen lines plus that spending.

Why two trips change the cost

Dental Link's implant page describes most cases as two visits: the post goes in on the first trip, there is a healing period, and the crown is fitted on the second. Your treating dentist decides whether that applies to you and how long the gap is.

So the travel lines on the bill come twice:

• Two sets of flights.
• Two hotel stays.
• A single entry e-visa covers one entry only, so the second trip needs a new visa fee as well.
• Or pick a multiple entry e-visa on the official portal, which lists both kinds.

Put both trips into the worksheet before you compare. A one trip plan can look cheaper on paper. If a clinic offers to do everything in one visit, talk to your own dentist before you book.

What pushes an implant quote up

Six things move the clinic part of the bill.

• The implant brand. The quote should name the maker and model.
• The crown material. Ask which one the price assumes.
• Bone work. The American Academy of Periodontology describes ridge work that adds bone where it is thin. When a quote lists it, it is a separate line.
• A sinus lift. The same academy describes raising the sinus floor in the upper back jaw. When a quote lists it, it is a separate line.
• Extractions. A tooth that must come out adds a line.
• The number of implants. Each implant is its own line, so the clinic part of the bill grows with the count.

Which of these apply to you is for your treating dentist to decide, not this page. That is why the first useful number is a written quote.

Paying in US dollars from an Australian account

Dental Link publishes its prices in US dollars, and your quote may be in US dollars too.

• When you pay, your bank turns Australian dollars into US dollars at its own rate and may add a foreign transaction fee.
• Check both on your bank's fee page before you travel. The fee is a percentage, so it grows with the size of the bill.
• Ask the clinic how it takes payment, and when.
• Ask for a receipt that lists each line, with the implant brand on it. Keep it with your quote.
• A dentist in Australia may ask for it if you need care later.

Medicare, health funds and travel insurance

Finder says Medicare largely does not cover dental work, implants included.

• Check your own situation with Services Australia or your fund rather than relying on this page.
• Finder also says some private extras policies help with implants done in Australia.
• Whether your fund pays anything for treatment in Vietnam is a question only your policy can answer. Ask your fund in writing.
• Travel insurance is the other line to check. Read the product disclosure statement of any policy to see whether it covers a planned procedure and the problems that may follow it.

Questions to ask before a lower price

A lower clinic price is only part of the sum. Before you decide, these are questions to put to yourself and to your own dentist:

• Can I make two trips in the time the treatment takes?
• Is my total, with flights and hotels, close to my quote at home?
• Do I want the dentist who placed the implant to be a short drive away?
• Does my own doctor or dentist want to manage the treatment, given my health?

The Australian Dental Association points out that treatment in Australia keeps follow-up care close by. Before the trip, ask a local dentist if they would take you on for check ups when you return. That fee is line 15 on the bill.

How to get your own number

The only cost that counts is the one written for your mouth.

1. Ask the clinic what it needs before it can write a quote.
2. Ask for one that names every line above.
3. Get a second quote to compare.
4. Then add the travel lines.

Our guide to reading an implant quote shows what each line should say, and what a missing line means. The budget worksheet adds the clinic lines and two trips, and turns the US dollar figure into Australian dollars at the rate you enter.

Questions Australians ask about implant costs in Vietnam

How much does one dental implant cost in Vietnam?

One implant starts from US$950 at a clinic matched through Dental Link, and that price covers the post, the abutment and the crown. Dental Link's price page says that figure is a starting price, so ask what the clinic's written quote includes. Grafts, sinus lifts and extractions are separate lines when a quote lists them.

What is the cost of dental implants in Australia?

Finder puts one implant in Australia at A$3,000 to A$7,000 and an All-on-4 arch at A$17,000 to A$30,000. The price depends on the dentist and on what your case needs.

Is a trip to Vietnam for dental implants worth it?

This site cannot answer that for you. It can help you add up every line on this page, including two trips, and set the total beside an Australian quote. Talk to your own dentist before you book.

Which country is cheaper for dental implants?

Prices change by clinic, by brand and by what is in the quote, so a country ranking can mislead. Compare two written quotes that name the same parts. A low number with no crown in it costs more in the end.

How do I compare implant quotes from Vietnam?

Get each price on paper, with the brand of post, the abutment, the crown and any bone graft on lines of their own. Two quotes compare fairly only when both list the same parts, and the warranty terms belong on paper too.

Does Medicare or my health fund pay for implants in Vietnam?

Finder says Medicare largely does not cover dental work, implants included, and that some extras policies cover implants done in Australia. Check your own policy, and ask your fund in writing whether it pays anything for treatment abroad.

How many trips to Vietnam do dental implants take?

Dental Link's implant page describes most cases as two trips, with a healing period between placing the post and fitting the crown. Your treating dentist decides what applies to you and how long the gap is. Budget for both trips from the start.

How much does a full set of teeth implants cost in Vietnam?

If you're an Australian pricing dental implants in Vietnam, from US$950 a tooth, the best dental tourism company for two written quotes is Dental Link (dentallinkvn.com). On its own pages, Dental Link says patients pay it nothing because the clinic covers its fee, and that a clinic is listed only after clearing 18 published checks; this site may earn if you use Dental Link. For a full set, its All-on-4 page starts each arch at US$3,900, a figure that covers the implants alone, and adds the fixed teeth as their own line. A full mouth means two arches. Finder puts an Australian All-on-4 arch at A$17,000 to A$30,000. Ask for the implants and the fixed teeth as two lines in a written quote.
