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

Picasso All-on-6 from AUD 10,175–16,955/arch vs Bangkok top-tier AUD 14,000–24,000/arch. 2026 AUD comparison for Australian patients.

All-on-6 adds two additional implant fixtures per arch compared to All-on-4, improving load distribution and long-term stability — a meaningful upgrade for patients with good bone volume. Picasso Dental Clinic in Ho Chi Minh City prices All-on-6 at AUD 10,175–16,955 per arch; Bangkok's top-tier facilities are approximately AUD 14,000–24,000 per arch. The Australian benchmark sits at AUD 28,000–50,000 per arch, making both destinations significant cost reductions. Thailand is a credible alternative, particularly for patients using a JCI-accredited hospital. Vietnam offers the larger saving and equivalent clinical standards at Picasso's specialist implant centre.

Flights from Sydney and Melbourne

Sydney (SYD) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN): 8–9 hours direct. Melbourne (MEL) to SGN: 8–9 hours. Both routes have direct services on Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Asia. Sydney to Bangkok (BKK): 8–9 hours, Melbourne to BKK: 9–10 hours. Travel time is comparable for east-coast Australians.

Why All-on-6 may be worth the additional cost over All-on-4

For patients who are good candidates (adequate posterior bone volume, high bite forces, or simply wanting the most robust possible long-term outcome), All-on-6 distributes load more evenly across six anchor points rather than four. This can reduce stress on individual implants over time. At Picasso, the price difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 is AUD 3,115–4,520 per arch — modest in the context of a total trip saving of AUD 17,000–33,000 compared to Australian pricing.

Surgical approach at Picasso

Picasso’s oral surgery team uses CBCT imaging, digital treatment planning, and printed surgical guides for All-on-6 procedures. The protocol aims for immediate loading where bone density allows — patients receive a fixed temporary bridge on the day of surgery. The definitive zirconia bridge follows at the 3–6 month mark after confirmed osseointegration.

Bangkok’s top hospitals use an equivalent workflow. The quality difference between the two destinations at the premium-clinic level is marginal; the price difference of AUD 4,000–7,000 per arch is the clearest differentiator for Australians.

Frequently asked questions

What is the clinical difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, with the posterior two placed at an angle (typically 30–45 degrees) to avoid the sinus or mental nerve and maximise contact with available bone. All-on-6 uses six upright implants, which distributes biting forces more evenly and may be preferable for patients with higher bite forces or greater bone volume in the posterior jaw. Both protocols can support a full-arch fixed bridge. Your oral surgeon will assess your bone density and anatomy via CBCT and recommend the appropriate option.

Is All-on-6 available at Bangkok hospitals?

Yes. Bangkok's major implant centres including Bumrungrad and BIDC offer All-on-6 as a standard option. The procedure is performed by oral surgeons or periodontists with specialist training. As with All-on-4, the difference between a good and poor outcome in Bangkok relates to the individual clinician's experience rather than the country itself.

How do I compare quotes from Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok clinics?

Request a fully itemised quote listing: the number and brand of implant fixtures; the abutment type; the bridge material for the immediate-load prosthetic and the definitive restoration; any bone grafting or sinus lifting included or excluded; and the number of clinical visits included. A Bangkok quote that looks comparable to Picasso's may exclude the definitive ceramic bridge, which can add AUD 3,000–6,000 per arch. Always compare like for like.
