Understanding Implant Pricing
Dental implant costs vary significantly between countries — and within Vietnam itself. This page provides honest pricing context for Vinmec Picasso and explains what goes into the cost.
What’s Included in the Price
An implant quote at Vinmec Picasso typically includes:
- Initial consultation and treatment planning — including preliminary assessment
- CBCT 3D scan — required for accurate implant planning (not optional)
- Implant surgery — surgical placement by specialist surgeon
- Implant component — the titanium fixture (Straumann)
- Healing period monitoring
- Final crown — Emax or Zirconia ceramic, fabricated in our lab
- Follow-up appointments included in standard timeline
What may be quoted separately:
- Bone grafting (if required — not all cases need this)
- Sinus augmentation (for upper jaw cases with low sinus floor)
- Pre-treatment (periodontal treatment if required before implant)
Always ask for an itemized quote in writing.

International Cost Comparison
To illustrate the value proposition — approximate prices for the same Straumann single implant system:
| Country | Approximate Cost (USD equivalent) |
|---|---|
| Australia | $3,500–6,000 |
| United States | $3,000–5,500 |
| United Kingdom | $2,500–4,500 |
| Singapore | $2,500–4,000 |
| Vietnam (Vinmec Picasso) | Contact for quote |
Same Straumann brand. Same implant components. Significantly different price.
The savings are not because of inferior materials or shortcuts — they reflect lower operating costs, lower labor costs, and a different market structure.
Additional Procedures Pricing
| Procedure | Price Reference |
|---|---|
| Bone grafting (small) | Contact for quote |
| Bone grafting (larger/block) | Contact for quote |
| Sinus augmentation (lateral window) | Contact for quote |
| Sinus augmentation (transcrestal) | Contact for quote |
Calculating Your Total Cost Including Travel
For international patients, the full cost comparison should include:
Vietnam (Vinmec Picasso):
- Implant treatment cost
- Return flights to Da Nang
- Accommodation (4–5 star hotel: ~$50–150/night)
- Meals, local transport, tourism
At home:
- Treatment cost only (usually much higher)
For most Australian, UK, or American patients spending $3,000–5,000+ on a single implant at home, the Vietnam option (treatment + flights + 1–2 weeks holiday) still comes out significantly cheaper — and you get a holiday.
Getting an Accurate Quote
An accurate price requires examination. We cannot provide final pricing from photos alone, because:
- Bone volume must be assessed by CBCT scan
- Adjacent teeth and bite must be evaluated
- Any pre-treatment needs (bone graft, periodontics) must be identified
Steps to get your quote:
- Remote preliminary assessment: Send photos and existing X-rays to Vinmec Picasso
- Receive estimated range: Based on photos and your description
- Book consultation visit: Examination, CBCT, full treatment plan
- Receive final itemized quote in writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are implant prices so much lower in Vietnam? Lower cost of living, lower labor costs, and lower overhead — not lower quality materials. Straumann charges the same for their implants globally; the difference is in everything else around it.
Is there a warranty on implants? Vinmec Picasso provides warranty terms in writing. Straumann implants carry manufacturer guarantees. Discuss specifics at consultation.
Can I pay in USD or AUD? Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the standard currency. Discuss payment options when booking.
What if I need follow-up care after returning home? You receive full documentation to share with your local dentist. For implant monitoring, any dentist with X-ray capability can check bone levels. We provide remote consultation for non-emergency questions.
