Full-arch restoration is a long-term decision, especially when treatment involves travelling abroad. Learn about All-on-6 dental implants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from costs and treatment time to long-term care, with treatment planning by implant specialist Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Tan Saigon Implant Center.

What are All-on-6 implants?

All-on-6 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses six dental implants in one jaw to support a fixed prosthetic bridge. The implants act as stable anchors for a new set of fixed teeth, helping restore chewing function, appearance, and oral comfort for patients with multiple missing or failing teeth.

Unlike removable dentures, the replacement teeth are securely attached to the implants. The exact implant position, prosthetic design, and whether All-on-6 is suitable depend on your bone condition, bite, gum health, and overall treatment needs. A 3D CBCT scan and clinical assessment are typically used to plan the treatment.

For international patients considering All-on-6 dental implants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the first step is a personalized evaluation to determine whether All-on-6—or another full-arch solution such as All-on-4—is the right option for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-6?

All-on-6 may be considered for patients with extensive tooth loss, failing teeth or dentures. Suitability depends on bone volume, gum health, bite, remaining teeth and the planned restoration.

Compared with the All-on-4 approach, All-on-6 includes two additional implants in the posterior areas, providing additional support for a full-arch restoration. This may contribute to load distribution across the restoration and can be considered when planning for the stability, function and long-term restorative needs of a 14-tooth prosthetic arch.

Suitable cases for All-on-6 implants include:

Complete Tooth Loss

Denture to Fixed Teeth

Advanced Periodontal Disease

Missing Teeth with Severe Bone Loss

Failing Bridges with Bone Loss case

Previously Failed Dental Implants case

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Which Fits Your Case?

There is no single answer to whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is better. The right option depends on your bone condition, bite, remaining teeth, chewing needs and the design of your final restoration.

In this real case, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Tan explains why he recommended All-on-6 instead of All-on-4, and how the decision was made based on the patient’s individual condition.

Why Might Six Implants Be Recommended?

All-on-6 dental implants provide a fixed full-arch solution supported by six strategically positioned implants, helping restore stability, chewing function and a natural-looking smile.

• Fixed & stable: More secure than removable dentures.
• Better chewing: Supports everyday eating function.
• Full-arch restoration: Replaces a complete arch without one implant for every missing tooth.
• Natural appearance: Custom-designed to suit your smile and facial features.
• Long-term function: Proper hygiene and regular maintenance support lasting results.

Suitability depends on your bone, gum health, bite and overall treatment needs.

For international patients with limited time, All-on-6 treatment may be planned within an initial 7–10 day visit, with temporary fixed teeth provided shortly after implant placement when clinically appropriate. The definitive restoration is completed after the healing period.

How much do Full-arch All-on-6 implants cost?

The cost of All on 6 dental implants varies by country, and Vietnam stands out as one of the best places for All-on-6 dental implants abroad, offering high-quality treatment at a significantly lower price:

• Turkey: $10,000 – $20,000
• Thailand: $15,000 – $25,000
• USA: $20,000 – $40,000
• Canada: $20,000 – $40,000
• Australia: $25,000 – $45,000

How Does All-on-6 Treatment Work?

For patients travelling to Ho Chi Minh City for All-on-6, time away from home is an important part of the decision.

At Saigon Implant Center, suitable cases can be planned and completed within around 7–10 days, with temporary fixed teeth typically provided within 48 hours after implant placement so patients can begin eating and speaking more comfortably during the healing period.

From the initial consultation to implant surgery and follow-up, the treatment is organized around a clear timeline before you return home.

DAY 1: CONSULTATION & TREATMENT PLANNING

CBCT imaging, digital scanning, and clinical evaluation are performed to assess your oral condition.

Based on these findings, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Tan and the implant team create a personalized treatment plan.

 

DAY 2: DENTAL IMPLANT SURGEY

Dental implants are placed using guided surgery for greater precision and predictable outcomes.

Most multiple dental implants placement procedures take approximately 1–3 hours, providing a strong foundation for dental restoration.

 

DAY 3 – 4: TEMPORARY TEETH

A fixed temporary restoration is designed and adjusted to restore aesthetics and basic chewing function.

Our team will monitor your healing progress, provide post-operative guidance, and ensure a comfortable recovery before you return home.

DAY 5 – 7: COMPLETION OF PHASE 1 & RETURN HOME

Patients receive their fixed temporary teeth and a final check-up before returning home.

After 4–6 months of healing, they return to Vietnam to receive their final new teeth.

After All-on-6: What Happens When You Return Home?

After completing the initial stage of your All-on-6 dental implant treatment at Saigon Implant Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, you can return home and continue the healing process according to the treatment plan established by your dentist.

The implants then enter the osseointegration stage, during which the jawbone gradually bonds with the implant surface to provide the stability needed for the final fixed teeth. This process typically takes around 3–6 months, although the timeframe varies depending on bone condition and individual healing.

During this period, your treatment does not simply stop when you leave Vietnam. Our team maintains communication with you, follows your healing progress when needed, and plans the next stage of treatment in advance.

For international patients, aftercare is part of the All-on-6 treatment plan from the beginning — not something that ends when you board your flight home.

Before You Leave Vietnam: Your First Follow-Up

Before your flight home, we schedule a follow-up appointment of approximately 30 minutes.

During this visit, your dentist will:

• Check the implant sites and provisional teeth after several days of eating and normal use.
• Assess your initial healing progress.
• Make any necessary bite adjustments to the provisional restoration.
• Confirm that you are ready to travel home.
• Review your instructions for oral hygiene, diet and care of your provisional teeth.

This final check gives you a clear understanding of what to do during the next stage of healing before you leave Vietnam.

What Happens During the All-on-6 Healing Period?

After implant placement, the implants begin osseointegration, the biological process in which bone forms around and bonds with the implant surface. This provides the foundation for the definitive fixed restoration.

For many patients, the healing process can be broadly understood as follows:

First 24–72 hours: Mild swelling, tenderness or discomfort may occur. Rest, a soft diet and following your dentist’s post-operative instructions are important.

Around 1 week: Many patients can gradually return to normal daily activities and work, depending on their individual recovery and the dentist’s advice.

2–6 weeks: The gum and surrounding tissues continue to heal while the implants become progressively more integrated with the bone. Excessive biting forces should still be avoided.

Around 3–6 months: Osseointegration is typically assessed before proceeding with the definitive fixed teeth. The actual timing depends on clinical healing rather than a fixed calendar date.

You do not normally need to remain in Vietnam throughout the entire healing period when your dentist confirms that you can return home. You can continue your recovery at home while following the care plan and scheduled follow-up arrangements.

How Is My All-on-6 Treatment Followed Up Remotely?

Returning home does not mean you have to manage the healing period on your own. For international patients, remote follow-up can help maintain communication with the treating dental team between visits to Vietnam.

Depending on your treatment plan, follow-up may include:

• Online communication: Discussing your recovery, eating comfort and general progress with the dental team.
• Progress photos: Sending photographs of the gums and provisional teeth when requested, allowing the team to review visible changes between appointments.
• Care guidance: Receiving ongoing advice about oral hygiene, diet and caring for your provisional teeth during osseointegration.
• Pre-visit assessment: Reviewing the information available before your next trip so the team can prepare for the next stage of your All-on-6 treatment.

Your treatment remains connected to the original clinical plan even while you are back home.

When Do I Need to Return to Vietnam?

You generally do not need to return to Vietnam immediately after the initial All-on-6 treatment. The timing of your next visit depends mainly on implant healing and stability.

• Around 3–6 months: The implants may be assessed for osseointegration and stability.
• Once the implants are clinically ready: Your next visit can be scheduled for the preparation and fabrication of your definitive fixed teeth.

Before you book your flight, our team can discuss the expected timing, appointments and estimated length of stay for your next visit. This helps international patients plan their travel without returning to Vietnam simply to wait for the implants to heal.

Tip for international patients: Let your dental team know when you expect to be available for your next trip. Your anticipated healing timeline can then be considered when arranging the next appointment and prosthetic stage.

What Happens During Your Next Visit?

Your next visit focuses on checking the implants and completing your definitive fixed full-arch restoration. Depending on your individual treatment plan, the process may include:

• Implant and gum assessment – Checking healing and implant stability, with X-ray or CBCT when clinically indicated.
• Digital scanning and bite records – Capturing the information needed to design your definitive restoration around your bite and oral structures.
• Design and try-in – The restoration may be digitally designed using CAD/CAM and evaluated for shape, shade, smile line, speech and bite.
• Final fitting – Once the restoration meets the planned clinical and functional requirements, the fixed teeth are attached to the implants and checked for comfort, bite and cleanability.
• Post-restoration instructions – You receive guidance on caring for your All-on-6 teeth and a follow-up plan for ongoing maintenance.

Your appointments and expected stay can be planned in advance, allowing you to organize your flight, accommodation and time away from work more confidently.

Can My Local Dentist Be Involved?

If an in-person dental examination is needed while you are at home, relevant information about your All-on-6 treatment and treatment history can be provided to your local dentist to support ongoing care.

For international patients, this creates a more practical approach to long-term implant care: your treatment is carried out in Vietnam, while appropriate routine dental care and examinations can also be managed closer to home when clinically suitable.
