If you have lost most or all teeth in an arch, choosing a replacement involves more than how your smile will look. You also need to consider comfort, cleaning, treatment stages and the commitment to ongoing care.
For patients considering All-on-4 dental implants in Hanoi, Alisa Dental is a place to begin that discussion with Dr. Chuyen’s team. An assessment should establish whether a fixed full-arch option is suitable and explain the alternatives before you make a decision.
What does All-on-4 mean?
The All-on-4 treatment concept uses four implants to support a fixed full arch of replacement teeth. Its conventional arrangement includes two anterior implants and two angled posterior implants. An arch is the upper or lower set of teeth; replacing both arches requires a separate plan for each.
Nobel Biocare describes immediate provisional teeth for patients who meet the criteria for immediate loading and achieve adequate implant stability. That qualification matters: same-day teeth are not a promise for every patient. Read the manufacturer’s explanation of the concept.
Is a full-arch restoration the right option for you?
Bring a clear description of what you want to change: difficulties with an existing denture, missing teeth, discomfort or concerns about the remaining teeth. Ask which teeth can be retained and why the proposed treatment is appropriate.
Your consultation should compare suitable options rather than treating four implants as an automatic choice. Ask what the alternatives would mean for your daily routine, treatment time and budget. If you already have a recommendation from another dentist, discuss the reasons for any different advice.
Write down your priorities before the appointment. For example, being able to clean a restoration confidently or attend reviews locally may be just as important to you as its appearance.
Temporary teeth and final teeth are different stages
A provisional restoration, when appropriate, is used during the treatment process. It should not be confused with the final restoration or with confirmation that healing is complete.
Ask your dentist what you will wear after surgery, which restrictions apply and what the alternative plan is if immediate fixed teeth are unsuitable. Also ask how the team will decide when you are ready for the final restoration. A clear explanation of both stages helps you organise expectations and appointments.
Questions to ask about the proposed full-arch plan
- Is the plan for one arch or both?
- Why is this implant number and arrangement recommended?
- Which implant system and components will be used?
- What material is proposed for the temporary and final teeth?
- How will the restoration be cleaned at home?
- Who will provide reviews and address problems between visits?
Request the answers alongside the written estimate. A treatment name alone does not explain the full scope of care.
All-on-4 costs in Hanoi
For one arch, Alisa Dental calculates four times the selected implant price in USD, including abutments, then adds VND 5–10 million for temporary full-arch teeth and VND 30–60 million for final ceramic full-arch teeth.
For example, Dentium at the current promotional USD 430 rate gives USD 1,720 for four implants, plus VND 35–70 million for temporary and final teeth. This one-arch illustration uses prices confirmed on 15 October 2026 and excludes any separately quoted procedures. USD 1,720 alone is not the complete All-on-4 price. Request a consolidated quote with the payment currency and exchange rate clearly stated.
For an All-on-6 plan, the implant subtotal is six times the selected implant price, with temporary and final teeth added separately. Your dentist should explain why the proposed implant arrangement is appropriate; it should not be selected on price alone.
Start with the Alisa Dental price list and ask for an estimate specific to your proposed arch or arches. The quote should identify the implants, connecting components and restorations, as well as any other planned procedures.
Check whether temporary teeth, final teeth, reviews and adjustments are included. Ask what could change the quoted amount and whether maintenance or future repairs are charged separately. If you are comparing an overseas quote, use the same currency and treatment scope before comparing totals.
There is no need to rely on a generic international price range when the decision concerns your own mouth and the clinic’s actual proposal.
Planning treatment if you live outside Vietnam
Ask the clinic which appointments must take place in Hanoi and whether a return visit is expected. Do this before booking a short holiday around treatment. Your proposed travel dates should leave room for assessment and review rather than assuming that the first appointment will be surgery.
Before departure, confirm the contact arrangements between visits and ask what information another dentist would need to assist with care near home. Keep your treatment documents accessible when travelling.
What does ongoing care involve?
A fixed bridge is not removed by the patient in the same way as a removable denture. You still need to be able to clean around it and attend reviews. Ask for a demonstration using the cleaning aids recommended for your restoration. Leeds Teaching Hospitals explains fixed and removable implant-supported options and the need for long-term care.
Frequently asked questions
Does All-on-4 mean both jaws are treated?
No. Ask for the upper and lower arches to be specified separately in the plan and quote.
Can I choose my final teeth from a photograph?
A photograph can communicate your preferences. It cannot determine the clinical design, fit or suitability of your restoration. Discuss your expectations during planning and ask how you will review the proposed appearance.
Is All-on-4 maintenance-free?
No. Ask for the ongoing cleaning and review plan before treatment, including who to contact about any future repair.
