All-on-6: Vietnam vs India — 2026 AUD comparison

All-on-6 at Picasso Dental AUD 10,175–16,955/arch vs India AUD 7,000–14,000. Vietnam wins for east-coast AU; India suits Perth. AUD guide.

For Australian patients considering All-on-6, both Vietnam and India offer prices far below what Australian prosthodontists charge, but they suit different patient profiles. Picasso Dental Clinic prices All-on-6 at AUD 10,175–16,955 per arch; top JCI-accredited Indian clinics typically charge AUD 7,000–14,000 per arch. India is cheaper on paper — but for Sydney and Melbourne patients, the 12–15 hour journey to Indian dental cities versus an 8–9 hour direct flight to Ho Chi Minh City adds real practical cost over a treatment requiring two trips. Perth residents are in a different position: direct Qantas flights to Mumbai make India genuinely accessible. In all cases, the emphasis for a procedure of this complexity should be on verifying clinical quality, not chasing the lowest price.

Flight comparison from Australia

Sydney or Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City: 8–9 hours direct. Daily services from both cities. Return economy fares AUD 600–1,100. Two-trip total: approximately 32–36 hours flying.

Sydney or Melbourne to Mumbai/Chennai/Bangalore: No direct services from Sydney or Melbourne. Via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur takes 12–15 hours. Return fares AUD 900–1,600. Two-trip total: approximately 48–60 hours flying. Additional cost of accommodation and transfers in a larger, more complex Indian city (compared to a concentrated medical tourism hub) is also a factor.

Perth to Mumbai (Qantas direct): 10–12 hours. This narrows the flight-time gap considerably for Perth-based patients. Two All-on-6 trips from Perth to Mumbai: approximately 40–48 hours total — comparable to two Sydney–HCMC trips.

Protocol and quality notes

All-on-6 requires the same comprehensive diagnostic and planning process as All-on-4: CBCT volumetric scan, digital surgical guide, experienced oral surgeon, and a laboratory capable of full-arch provisional and final prosthetics. India’s top hospital-based dental centres — Apollo Dental in Chennai, Manipal in Bangalore, and specialist implant practices in Mumbai — handle high volumes of international patients and meet these requirements.

Picasso Dental Clinic conducts CBCT-based digital planning for all All-on-6 cases, uses international implant systems, and provides same-day provisional teeth at implant placement surgery. The clinic is accustomed to managing the full treatment planning process with Australian patients online before travel, including providing CBCT referral guidance if the patient does not yet have a scan.

For both destinations: if you have an OPG from an Australian dentist, start there. Most AHPRA-registered dentists or oral surgeons can write an OPG referral. Some will provide a CBCT referral as well, which can be uploaded to either clinic’s pre-consultation portal.

When to choose each destination

Choose Vietnam (Picasso Dental Clinic) if:

You are based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Adelaide
You want a direct, manageable flight — 8–9 hours versus 12–15 to Indian cities
You want to save 55–75% over Australian specialist prices with well-documented clinical quality
You prefer English-language communication with a team familiar with Australian patient expectations

Choose India if:

You are based in Perth or Darwin, where direct flights to Mumbai make India genuinely accessible
You have independently verified a JCI-accredited All-on-6 specialist in Chennai or Mumbai
Price is the primary driver and you are comfortable with the research required to identify a quality Indian provider
You have family or a support network in India during recovery

Frequently asked questions

What is the benefit of All-on-6 over All-on-4, and does it affect the Vietnam vs India decision?

All-on-6 uses 6 implants per arch instead of 4, distributing load more evenly and providing additional stability — particularly beneficial in the upper jaw where bone density is naturally lower, or in patients with limited bone volume who are also having augmentation. The clinical indication for All-on-6 versus All-on-4 is the same regardless of destination. The Vietnam vs India decision is about travel practicality and clinic vetting, not about the procedure type.

Do Indian All-on-6 clinics use the same implant systems as Picasso Dental Clinic?

The best Indian clinics use the same international systems — Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Osstem — used at Picasso Dental Clinic. Some Indian clinics also use South Korean brands (Dio, MegaGen) or Indian-manufactured implants, which may not have the same long-term clinical follow-up data. Always confirm the implant brand and batch documentation will be provided for your AHPRA-registered dentist in Australia.

How do I handle the All-on-6 follow-up care in Australia after returning?

Any Australian prosthodontist or implant-trained dentist registered with AHPRA can perform routine follow-up including implant stability checks, bite assessment, and X-rays. Both Picasso Dental Clinic and accredited Indian clinics will provide full documentation — including implant brand, model, and serial numbers — to share with your Australian provider. Most routine check-ups are billed as standard consultation items.
