Living with severe periodontitis—a chronic gum disease that leads to tooth loss, bone recession, and ongoing pain—can take a heavy toll not only on oral health but also on a person’s confidence and quality of life.

For Christian Soubrier, an Austrian national, this was his daily reality. After years of unsuccessful treatments across Europe, including visits to well-known dental hubs in Turkey and Hungary, he remained dissatisfied—not only with the results but with the lack of compassion and understanding he experienced from dental professionals.

His turning point came unexpectedly during a trip to Vietnam, where a consultation at Saigon Implant Dental Center changed the course of his dental journey forever.

A Long and Frustrating Search for the Right Care

Christian’s battle with periodontitis had been ongoing for many years. The disease had caused:

  • Severe gum inflammation
  • Significant tooth loss
  • Progressive bone recession

Despite seeking help across multiple European countries, Christian struggled to find a clinic that offered both advanced solutions and empathetic care.

Many proposed budget-driven or one-size-fits-all treatments, and none provided a plan that truly addressed his complex bone loss. Worse, he felt treated more like a case number than a human being, leaving him frustrated and hopeless.

Discovering Saigon Implant Center in Vietnam

While visiting Ho Chi Minh City for vacation, Christian came across Saigon Implant Center and decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tan, hoping for a fresh perspective.

From the very first meeting, Christian noticed the difference in approach:

✅ Patient-focused consultation: Dr. Tan took the time to listen carefully, review detailed scans, and explain the underlying causes of Christian’s condition.

✅ Comprehensive treatment plan: Instead of the previously suggested “All-on-4” solution, Dr. Tan recommended a more suitable “All-on-6” implant procedure, which provided greater stability given Christian’s extensive bone loss.

✅ Clear and compassionate communication: For the first time, Christian felt his concerns were truly understood and addressed with empathy, not just clinical detachment.

The proposed treatment was more extensive—and understandably more costly—than Christian’s original plan. However, he recognized the importance of choosing the right long-term solution rather than opting for a compromised approach that might fail later.

With financial support from his bank, Christian made the decision to invest in the best care possible.

The Treatment Journey: Advanced Implants with a Human Touch

Christian’s treatment plan involved several critical steps:

  • Pre-surgical care: Before the implant procedure, Dr. Tram treated a dental abscess to ensure a healthy oral environment for surgery.
  • Extractions and bone preparation: The team carefully removed remaining compromised teeth and prepared the jaw for implant placement.
  • All-on-6 dental implants: Dr. Tan performed the surgery, strategically placing six implants for maximum stability despite significant bone loss.
  • Custom temporary acrylic teeth: Crafted by Dr. Van, the temporary prosthetics were designed with precision to provide aesthetic appeal and immediate functionality.

Throughout the process, Christian was impressed by the coordination among specialists, the high level of skill, and the gentle, patient-centered approach of the entire team.

Even with temporary teeth, Christian experienced dramatic improvements right away:

✅ He could smile again without embarrassment.

✅ He was able to eat comfortably—even foods he had avoided for years.

✅ He felt cared for as a person, not just a patient.

“I was amazed by the professionalism and empathy I received at Saigon Implant Center. From the reception team to Dr. Tan, Dr. Van, and Dr. Tram, everyone treated me with respect and genuine kindness. I finally felt I was in the right hands.”

Why Christian’s Experience Was Different

Christian’s story illustrates the unique value that Saigon Implant Center offers:

  • Tailored treatment plans based on medical needs, not just cost.
  • Advanced implant techniques that address complex cases like severe bone loss.
  • Minimally invasive, precise procedures that ensure comfort and long-term stability.
  • Compassionate care and clear communication that build patient trust.

Medical Tourism Expands Access to Better Care

Christian’s case highlights how international dental tourism can provide more advanced and compassionate solutions than what’s sometimes available locally.

Personalized Solutions Matter for Complex Cases

Choosing an All-on-6 over All-on-4 was critical for Christian’s long-term stability and function. Proper assessment ensures the best outcomes.

Financial Planning Enables Optimal Care

Christian’s decision to secure bank support allowed him to invest in a solution that will serve him for years to come.

Compassion Improves the Patient Experience

Christian’s dissatisfaction in Europe stemmed not just from treatment plans but from a lack of empathy. In Vietnam, he found both advanced care and genuine human connection.

Precision and Artistry in Implant Dentistry

The temporary acrylic teeth crafted by Dr. Van were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, boosting Christian’s confidence immediately.

Integrated Care Yields Better Outcomes

The collaboration between Dr. Tan, Dr. Tram, and Dr. Van ensured that infections were resolved, surgery was smooth, and aesthetics were addressed—all in one coordinated plan.
