Dentures Vietnam from AUD 452 - full and partial plates | Picasso
Full and partial dentures at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam — dentures vs implants decision table, AUD pricing, immediate dentures, and when removable teeth make clinical and financial sense for Australian patients.
Complete dentures at Picasso Dental Clinic cost AUD 452 (hard acrylic) or AUD 566 (Biosoft flexible) per arch — compared with AUD 2,500–AUD 5,000 at Australian private labs — offering Australian patients a removable full or partial tooth replacement when implants are outside budget or medically unsuitable.
Dentures at Picasso Dental Clinic offer Australian patients a clinically proven removable tooth replacement at AUD 452–AUD 566 per arch for full plates — compared with AUD 2,500–AUD 5,000 per arch at Australian private labs.
Dentures are not the first choice for most patients who can have implants — but for patients where implants are medically unsuitable, financially out of reach, or who prefer a reversible removable option, a well-made denture provides functional and aesthetic teeth at a fraction of Australian lab costs.

Dentures vs implants — the decision framework
| Factor | Dentures | Implants / All-on-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Much lower | Higher upfront |
| Stability | Removable — may move during eating | Fixed — no movement |
| Bone preservation | Bone loss continues without implants | Implants preserve bone |
| Surgery required | None (unless extractions needed) | Yes |
| Age or medical contraindications | Suitable for most patients | Blood thinners, uncontrolled diabetes may delay |
| Immediate result | Yes — especially immediate dentures | Provisional on day of surgery; final bridge 3–6 months |
| Maintenance | Daily cleaning out of mouth | Same as natural teeth hygiene |
| Longevity | 5–10 years before reline or replacement | 15–25+ years with maintenance |
Trip timeline for denture patients
Full denture (no extractions required)
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Primary impressions, assessment |
| Day 2 | Secondary impressions, bite registration |
| Day 3–5 | Wax try-in (teeth arrangement review) |
| Day 6–8 | Laboratory processing |
| Day 9–10 | Fitting, adjustments |
Immediate denture (extractions on same trip)
Day 1–2: Impressions taken before extractions. Day 3: Extractions and denture insertion. Days 4–10: Adjustments as swelling resolves.
Implant-retained overdenture — the middle option
Two or four implants placed in the lower jaw provide attachment points for a removable denture. The denture clips on and off for cleaning but does not move during eating. This solves the main complaint about conventional lower dentures — instability — at significantly less cost than a fixed All-on-4 bridge.
| Option | Picasso (AUD) | AU private range (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 implants + lower overdenture | AUD 4,246 | AUD 9,000 – AUD 15,000 |
| 4 implants + lower overdenture | AUD 5,660 | AUD 14,000 – AUD 22,000 |
| All-on-4 fixed bridge (compare) | AUD 7,068 | AUD 28,000 – AUD 45,000 |

Frequently asked questions
How much do dentures cost in Australia?
Australian private labs charge AUD 2,500–AUD 5,000 per full arch for acrylic dentures. Premium flexible partial dentures cost AUD 1,500–AUD 3,000. Medicare does not cover dentures. Some private health extras funds cover a portion — typically AUD 500–1,500 depending on your fund and tier.
What is the difference between acrylic and flexible dentures?
Acrylic (hard) dentures are the standard — rigid, durable, easy to reline or repair. Flexible (Biosoft, Valplast) dentures use a flexible nylon base that adapts to the gum, feels less bulky, and does not require metal clasps for partials. Flexible partials are less adjustable if your gum shape changes.
Can dentures be done on a Vietnam trip?
Yes. Full dentures take 7–10 days — impressions, try-in of teeth arrangement, final fitting. Immediate dentures (placed on the day of extraction) are also available. Partial dentures take a similar timeline.
What is an immediate denture?
A denture fabricated before extractions and inserted the same day teeth are removed. It provides immediate function and aesthetics during the healing period. Immediate dentures typically require relining 3–6 months later as the gum shrinks — a reline can be done at Picasso on a follow-up trip or arranged with an Australian prosthetist.
Are implant-retained dentures available?
Yes. An implant-retained overdenture (snap-on denture) uses 2–4 implants to anchor a removable denture for improved stability. It is a middle option between full dentures and fixed All-on-4. See /all-on-4/ for fixed full-arch options.
Can I get my existing denture relined at Picasso?
Yes. Denture reline resets the fitting surface to match changed gum shape. Cost and timeline depend on the reline type — ask your coordinator when submitting your free quote request.
