For Australians · AUD pricingDental Implant Cost in Vietnam vs Australia: from A$2,300 per Tooth (2026)
Australian practices commonly quote A$3,000–$7,000 for one implant with crown, and most extras cover won’t pay for treatment overseas. In Ho Chi Minh City, a premium-brand implant + crown starts from A$2,300. Below: published Australian prices, what your health fund does and doesn’t do, and the full trip cost.

Your A$2,300+ quote, line by line
- Fixture: a premium Straumann or Nobel Biocare implant as standard, named on the quote — ask if you'd like a lower-cost brand compared side by side.
- Crown timing: if the bone is strong enough, you may leave with a crown within days. If not, you fly home on a temporary and the permanent crown goes on at a shorter second visit, or with your dentist in Australia. The quote tells you which plan you're on.
- Number of trips: one in many cases — confirmed only once the dentist has seen your X-rays or CT scan.
- Accommodation: priced separately from treatment. Most patients budget 5–7 nights; we'll book somewhere near the clinic if you ask.
- Aftercare: 18 months of free follow-up care at the clinic (check-ups, adjustments, X-rays, cleaning and scaling).

The real, all-in cost (nothing hidden)
For a single implant, budget roughly:
Implant + crown
From ~$2,300 — the post and the final crown, in premium Straumann or Nobel Biocare brands. Budget-brand options from about $1,400.
Return flights
$600–$1,200 from most Australian capital cities to Ho Chi Minh City.
Hotel, 5–7 nights
$300–$560 for comfortable, central accommodation near the clinic.
Total: well under half the Australian price — and you get a holiday.
Trip note
Often one trip. Where bone quality allows, a crown can be fitted within days (immediate loading); otherwise a temporary is placed and the final crown is fitted at a short follow-up visit or by your local dentist. We plan this around your schedule.

Published Australian price guides: Odontologie lists about A$3,000–$7,000 per implant with crown, porcelain veneers at A$1,000–$2,500 per tooth and All-on-4 at A$20,000–$35,000+ per arch (Odontologie (Australian practice cost guide)); EVP Dental lists single implants from A$4,641 including implant, abutment and zirconia crown (EVP Dental).
Most Australian extras policies pay nothing for treatment received outside Australia — Bupa and Peoplecare say so in their policy documents — so overseas work is generally self-funded. Extras limits are also modest: Peoplecare’s example extras product pays 60% for major dental up to a combined $1,000 a year.
Vietnam Airlines flies daily nonstop to Ho Chi Minh City from Melbourne and Sydney, and three times a week from Perth (Vietnam Airlines winter 2026 schedule); other cities usually connect through one of those or an Asian hub.
