Australians are paying $5,000–$6,500 for a single dental implant at home. In Ho Chi Minh City, the same implant — same German and Swiss brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) — costs a fraction of that. Here's the honest, all-in breakdown, including the costs most websites leave out: flights, hotels, and follow-up.
What a dental implant costs: Vietnam vs Australia (AUD)
| Treatment | Australia (avg) | VietSmile / KDA | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant (post + crown) | $5,000–$6,500 | ~$1,700 | ~70% |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | ~$25,000 | ~$8,400 | ~66% |
| Full mouth makeover | $30,000+ | ~$9,900 | ~67% |
| Porcelain veneer (per tooth) | ~$1,500 | ~$580 | ~61% |
Vietnam prices converted from USD at the current rate and confirmed at quote. Australian figures are typical private-clinic averages.
The real, all-in cost (nothing hidden)
For a single implant, budget roughly:
Implant + crown
~$1,700 — the post and the final crown, in premium Straumann or Nobel Biocare brands.
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.
Two-trip note
Implants heal over 3–4 months. Most patients do a short first trip (placement) and a second short trip (crown), or stay/return. We plan this around your schedule.

"What if something goes wrong when I'm back in Australia?"
A fair question — and the one most sites dodge. You travel home with written warranties: lifetime on premium Straumann/Nobel Biocare implants (a manufacturer guarantee honoured worldwide), 15 years on E.max veneers and 5 years on zirconia crowns. If a problem appears at home, you get a free video review with your treating dentist via your concierge Ellie, and we provide full records and X-rays so a local Australian dentist can handle minor fixes. Covered warranty work is redone at no clinical charge if you return — you pay only travel. And if returning isn't practical, we coordinate a local repair and reimburse the reasonable cost up to the value of your original treatment. You also get a free yearly check-up at KDA.
How VietSmile makes it safe and simple
Your English-speaking concierge, Ellie, handles everything: quote, clinic bookings, airport fast-track, hotel, and 24/7 WhatsApp support throughout. One trip, one team.
