All-on-4: Vietnam vs India — 2026 AUD comparison
All-on-4 at Picasso Dental AUD 7,060–12,435/arch vs India AUD 5,000–12,000. Vietnam wins for SYD/MEL; India suits Perth. Full AUD comparison.
India and Vietnam both offer All-on-4 implant-supported arches at a fraction of Australian prices, and both are legitimate options for Australian patients — but the right choice depends on your departure city and how carefully you can vet your provider. Top JCI-accredited Indian clinics price All-on-4 at AUD 5,000–12,000 per arch, which is at or below Picasso Dental Clinic's AUD 7,060–12,435. However, All-on-4 is a complex surgical procedure where quality and aftercare matter enormously. For Sydney and Melbourne patients, the direct 8–9 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh City versus a 12–15 hour journey to Indian cities is a significant practical advantage. For Perth residents, direct flights to Mumbai make India genuinely competitive.
Price comparison: All-on-4 implants
| Picasso Dental (Vietnam) | India JCI-accredited clinic | Australian specialist | |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 single arch (PMMA/acrylic) | AUD 7,060–9,500 | AUD 5,000–8,000 | AUD 23,000–30,000 |
| All-on-4 single arch (zirconia bridge) | AUD 10,000–12,435 | AUD 8,000–12,000 | AUD 30,000–38,000 |
| Full mouth (both arches, PMMA) | AUD 14,120–19,000 | AUD 10,000–16,000 | AUD 46,000–60,000 |
| Full mouth (both arches, zirconia) | AUD 20,000–24,870 | AUD 16,000–24,000 | AUD 60,000–76,000 |
India prices are for JCI-accredited or equivalent top-tier clinics using international-brand implants. Prices from unaccredited providers may be lower but with increased quality risk.
Flight comparison from Australia
Sydney or Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City: 8–9 hours direct. Daily services from Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Asia. Return fares AUD 600–1,100. For two All-on-4 trips, total flying time is approximately 32–36 hours.
Sydney or Melbourne to Mumbai/Chennai/Bangalore/Delhi: No direct services. Routing via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Doha takes 12–15 hours. Return fares typically AUD 900–1,600. For two trips, total flying time is 48–60 hours.
Perth to Mumbai or Delhi (direct Qantas): 10–12 hours. For Perth patients, two All-on-4 trips to India involve similar total flying time to two Vietnam trips from Sydney. This makes India a genuinely competitive option for Perth residents.
Ho Chi Minh City’s subtropical climate, manageable post-surgery diet options, and English-speaking clinic environment make it a comfortable recovery base. Indian dental cities — particularly Chennai and Bangalore — also have established medical tourism infrastructure including recovery accommodation near clinics.
Protocol and quality notes
All-on-4 is the most complex and consequential dental procedure available in the tourism market. It requires a fully digital planning workflow (CBCT scan, surgical guide fabrication), experienced oral surgeons, and a dental laboratory capable of producing full-arch provisional and final prostheses.
India’s best All-on-4 clinics — concentrated at JCI-accredited hospital-based dental centres in Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai — meet this standard. The challenge is that the Indian dental market also includes many providers who are not at this level. Patients must look beyond price to verify: (1) specific implant brand and model; (2) surgeon credentials and All-on-4 case volume; (3) CBCT scan availability on-site; (4) lab location and certification.
Picasso Dental Clinic offers a pre-travel online consultation where patients submit OPG X-rays and photographs, receive a CBCT recommendation, and receive a written treatment plan with implant specifications and AUD pricing before booking flights.
When to choose each destination
Choose Vietnam (Picasso Dental Clinic) if:
- You are based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Adelaide
- You want a direct flight and a clinic with a clear Australian patient track record
- You prefer transparent AUD pricing and English-language communication at every step
- You want to save 60–80% versus Australian specialist prices with lower travel risk
Choose India if:
- You are based in Perth or Darwin and can access a direct flight to Mumbai or Delhi
- You have identified a specific JCI-accredited Indian clinic independently and verified the surgeon’s qualifications
- The lower price point at top Indian clinics (AUD 5,000–8,000 vs AUD 7,060 at Picasso) is a deciding factor
- You have family or support in India during recovery

Frequently asked questions
Is All-on-4 at Indian clinics safe for Australian patients?
At JCI-accredited or NABH-accredited Indian implant centres, All-on-4 is performed to international clinical standards with experienced oral surgeons and reliable implant systems. The concern is the wide variation in Indian dental pricing — a very low-priced All-on-4 quote may reflect a non-accredited provider using non-branded implant systems. For a procedure of this complexity and cost, verify accreditation and implant brand before committing to any overseas clinic.
How does the All-on-4 timeline compare between Vietnam and India?
The treatment timeline is the same: implant placement with provisional teeth on day one, 3–4 months of osseointegration, then final prosthesis fitting on the second trip. Both countries require two trips of 7–10 days each. The difference is travel time per trip — 8–9 hours to HCMC versus 12–15 hours to most Indian dental cities from Sydney or Melbourne.
What implant brands are used for All-on-4 at Picasso Dental Clinic?
Picasso Dental uses Nobel Biocare (the original All-on-4 patent-holder), Straumann, and Osstem for All-on-4 cases. Nobel Biocare is preferred for patients specifically wanting the original All-on-4 protocol. Top Indian All-on-4 clinics also use Nobel Biocare and Straumann. Confirm the brand in writing in your treatment plan — it affects both the cost and the long-term implant documentation available to your Australian prosthodontist.
