Vietnamese Dentists’ Expertise in All-on-4 & All-on-6
Dentists at our partner clinics are highly skilled in full-arch implantology. Many have:
- Performed hundreds to thousands of All-on-4/All-on-6 cases for international patients
- Received official training and certifications from Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA) — the original developers of the All-on-4 concept
- Used computer-guided surgery and digital 3D planning for precise implant placement and minimal invasiveness
- English-speaking teams with dedicated international patient coordinators
They understand the needs of Australian and American patients, including aesthetic requirements for the smile zone, bite force, and long-term durability.

Recommendation: All-on-4 is the most popular choice for cost-effectiveness. All-on-6 is often preferred when you want maximum long-term strength or have stronger chewing demands.
Step-by-Step Treatment Process at Partner Clinics in Vietnam
- Pre-Treatment (Before Travel) Send panoramic X-ray or CT scan. The clinic provides a detailed digital treatment plan, implant recommendation (All-on-4 or All-on-6), and cost breakdown within 24–48 hours.
- First Visit – Surgery & Temporary Teeth (5–10 days)
- Day 1: Arrival, consultation, 3D CBCT scan, final treatment confirmation.
- Day 2–3: Implant surgery (usually 2–3 hours per arch under local anesthesia or sedation). Implants are placed at strategic angles for maximum stability.
- Same day or within 24–48 hours: Immediate loading — a fixed temporary acrylic bridge is attached (you leave with teeth you can eat and smile with).
- Days 4–7/10: Check-ups, adjustments, oral hygiene instructions, and preparation to return home.
- Healing Phase (at home – 3–6 months) Osseointegration: Implants fuse with your jawbone. During this time you use the temporary bridge comfortably.
- Second Visit – Final Prosthetic Teeth (5–7 days)
- Check integration with X-ray.
- Remove temporary bridge.
- Attach abutments and place the final fixed bridge (usually zirconia or high-quality acrylic/porcelain for durability and natural appearance).
- Final bite adjustment and aesthetic check.

Note: Healing time depends on bone quality, overall health, and implant brand. Premium Swiss/Swedish implants (Straumann SLActive or Nobel Biocare) often allow faster and more predictable integration.
Healing & Recovery Phase – What to Expect
First 1–2 weeks after surgery (during/after first trip):
- Moderate swelling and bruising (peaks at day 2–3, reduces quickly).
- Soft diet for the first 2–4 weeks.
- Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication and return to light activities within 5–7 days.
During the 3–6 month healing period (back home):
- You eat, speak, and smile normally with the temporary bridge.
- Regular online follow-up with the Vietnamese clinic (photos/video calls).
- Excellent oral hygiene is critical for success.
After final bridge placement:
- Minimal additional recovery. Most patients adapt to the new fixed teeth within a few days and enjoy full chewing function.
Tips for smoother recovery:
- Avoid smoking and heavy alcohol.
- Follow soft-to-normal diet progression as advised.
- Attend all follow-up appointments (online or in-person).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- How many trips to Vietnam are needed for All-on-4 or All-on-6? Usually two trips: one for implant placement + temporary teeth, and one for final teeth.
- How long do I need to stay each time? First trip: 5–10 days (average 7 days). Second trip: 5–7 days.
- Is immediate loading (teeth the same day) possible? Yes, it is very common in Vietnam for suitable cases. You can leave the clinic with a fixed temporary bridge.
- How long is the healing time? 3–6 months between trips for the implants to integrate with the bone. Premium brands can sometimes integrate faster.
- Which is better – All-on-4 or All-on-6? All-on-4 is sufficient and more affordable for most patients. All-on-6 provides extra stability and is often chosen for stronger bite force or when bone quality allows.
- Will I be in pain during recovery? Most patients experience manageable discomfort for the first few days, controlled with medication. After that, the temporary teeth feel quite comfortable.
- Do Vietnamese clinics use the same implant brands as in Australia or the USA? Yes — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and other globally recognized systems are commonly used.
