An All-on-4 full arch at Picasso Dental Clinic costs from AUD 7,060 (Osstem) to AUD 12,435 (Nobel Biocare or Straumann) per arch — compared with typical Australian private clinic quotes of AUD 23,000–38,000 per arch.

What the treatment involves
All-on-4 replaces a complete arch of teeth with four strategically placed implants — the posterior two are angled at 30–45 degrees to maximise bone engagement and avoid the sinus. This allows immediate loading: a fixed provisional bridge the same day as surgery.
Trip 1 (10–14 days)
- Day 1–2: Consultation, CBCT, treatment planning, extractions if needed
- Day 3–5: Implant surgery and provisional bridge fitting under local anaesthesia
- Day 5–10: Initial healing, bridge adjustments, aftercare instructions
- Day 10–14: Pre-departure review, final occlusion check
Gap (3–6 months)
Osseointegration at home. Provisional bridge is functional — soft diet, no hard or crunchy food. Contact Picasso if any implant mobility or bridge loosening.
Trip 2 (4–5 days)
- Clinical review confirming osseointegration
- Final prosthesis try-in
- Delivery of definitive bridge and bite adjustment

- Patients who cannot commit to 2 trips to Vietnam over 6 months
For healthy adults requiring full-arch replacement, the financial case for Picasso is compelling at every brand tier.
