Zero-Surprise Guarantee: What Is 100% Included vs Optional Add-Ons
Unlike budget dental chains that advertise artificially low "base prices" and add mandatory surcharges for scans, anesthesia, or temporary restorations after you arrive, our written treatment plans specify every clinical and administrative inclusion upfront.

- Post-Op Radiographic Verification and Official Fit-to-Fly Clearance Certificate.
- Autologous L-PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Sticky Bone Membrane ($58 USD online / 1,500,000 VND) spun from your own blood to accelerate graft vascularization by 40%.
- Simultaneous Titanium Implant Placement ($462–$1,346 USD online) — performed in the exact same surgical visit whenever residual bone height is ≥4mm.
- Titanium Mesh or Tenting Screws (quoted individually on CBCT only for extreme 3D vertical ridge defects).
Clinical & Economic Value Architecture: Why Vietnam Saves 70%–85% Without Compromising Quality
Western patients frequently ask how HCMC Dental Center delivers the exact same FDA-cleared and CE-marked dental biomaterials (Swiss Straumann®, Nobel Biocare®, Geistlich Bio-Oss®, Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max®, German Cercon® HT, and US Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed) at 20% to 30% of Australian, US, UK, and Canadian specialist fees. The difference lies in macroeconomic overhead: commercial clinic real estate in Ho Chi Minh City, specialist dental laboratory technicians, chairside nursing salaries, and professional malpractice insurance cost 75% to 85% less than in Sydney, Los Angeles, London, or Toronto—while our imported European and American materials are sourced through official manufacturer distribution channels at global volume pricing.

Step-by-Step Clinical & Financial Execution Timeline
Designed specifically for international patients flying from Australia, New Zealand, North America, Europe, and Singapore so every clinical appointment and tax/insurance document is completed on schedule.
Honest 3D CBCT Millimeter Verification
Dr. Cuong shows you your cross-sectional CBCT slices on screen. If your bone is ≥8mm high and ≥6mm wide, or if tilted All-on-4 implants can bypass the sinus, we tell you honestly that NO bone graft is needed!
Piezotome Sinus Elevation / GBR + Simultaneous Implant
In over 85% of grafting cases, we place the bone graft/sinus lift and the titanium implant during the exact same 45-to-60-minute session under local anesthesia or sedation, saving you an extra trip.
Post-Op Check, Sinus Care Briefing & Safe Flight Home
For simple socket grafts or crestal sinus lifts, you can fly after 48–72 hours. For large lateral window sinus lifts, we advise staying 7–10 days in Saigon and following our nasal-decongestant cabin pressure protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dental Bone Graft & Sinus Lift Cost in Vietnam (2026 Price Guide)
Direct, audit-ready answers prepared by Dr. Nguyen Van Cuong, DDS and our International Billing Desk.
1. Do you charge per gram/cc of bone graft or a flat fee per surgical site?
We charge a transparent, flat fee per surgical site ($138 USD online for socket/small GBR grafts and $277 USD online for sinus lifts), confirmed in writing after reviewing your 3D CBCT scan. You will never experience mid-surgery "per-cc" upsells.
2. Can a bone graft or sinus lift be done at the same time as dental implant placement?
Yes! As long as you have at least 3.5mm to 4.0mm of native residual bone height to stabilize the implant fixture at ≥25–35 Ncm torque, Dr. Cuong performs the sinus lift or bone graft and places the implant simultaneously in one single surgical appointment.
3. How long must I wait to fly on a plane after a sinus lift or bone graft?
After a standard bone graft ($138) or internal crestal sinus lift ($277), you can safely fly after 48 to 72 hours. After a large lateral-window sinus lift (where the sinus membrane was extensively elevated for <4mm bone), we recommend waiting 7 to 10 days before flying and using our prescribed saline spray and decongestant protocol during takeoff and landing.
4. What brand of bone graft material does HCMC Dental use?
We exclusively use Swiss Geistlich Bio-Oss® (the world’s #1 clinically researched deproteinized bovine bone mineral with >1,000 peer-reviewed studies) and Geistlich Bio-Gide® resorbable bilayer collagen membranes, supplemented by your own centrifuged L-PRF growth factors.
5. Is there a way to avoid sinus lift costs completely if I have severe upper jaw bone loss?
Yes! For full-arch upper restorations, the All-on-4® protocol angles the two rear implants at 30°–45° in front of the anterior sinus wall, or uses Pterygoid / Zygomatic implants—eliminating the need for bilateral sinus lifts and saving both $1,000+ USD and 6 months of healing time.
6. Are bone grafts and sinus lifts tax-deductible or HSA/Superannuation eligible?
100% yes. Because bone augmentation (ADA CDT Codes D7953, D7951, D7952) is an essential surgical prerequisite to support functional implant prosthetics, it is fully eligible under US IRS Publication 502, US HSA/FSA accounts, Canadian CRA Line 33099, and Australian ATO Compassionate Release of Superannuation.
7. Why does HCMC Dental use Xenograft (Geistlich Bio-Oss®) instead of harvesting bone from my hip or chin?
Harvesting autogenous block bone from your chin or ramus requires a second surgical site, causes extra post-op pain, and resorbs unpredictably. Swiss Geistlich Bio-Oss® has an interconnecting microporous mineral structure identical to human cancellous bone; when mixed with your own centrifuged L-PRF blood platelets ("Sticky Bone"), it acts as a permanent mineral scaffold that your own osteoblasts turn into solid living bone with zero second-site trauma.
8. What is the difference between a $277 Crestal Sinus Lift and a Lateral Window Sinus Lift?
When you have 5.0mm to 7.5mm of bone height beneath the maxillary sinus, Dr. Cuong performs a Crestal (Internal) Sinus Lift right through the tiny 3.5mm hole drilled for the implant—gently lifting the sinus floor 2–4mm using hydraulic/osteotome pressure with zero side incisions. When bone height is <4.0mm, a Lateral Window approach creates a small piezoelectric window on the side wall to add 6–10mm of vertical bone.
9. What happens if I sneeze after a sinus lift surgery?
During the first 10 to 14 days after a sinus lift, if you need to sneeze or cough, you must sneeze with your mouth WIDE OPEN (never pinch your nose closed!) and avoid blowing your nose or drinking through a straw. This keeps air pressure inside the maxillary sinus completely neutral while the Schneiderian membrane heals.
10. How much does Socket Preservation cost if I just need a tooth extracted now and an implant later?
If a tooth is extracted without grafting, the jawbone ridge shrinks by 30%–50% in width within the first 6 months. Placing a Socket Preservation graft ($138 USD online) + L-PRF ($58 USD) immediately into the fresh extraction socket preserves 95% of your bone volume so future implant placement is simple and graft-free.
11. Are resorbable collagen membranes included in the $138–$277 bone graft fee?
Yes! Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) requires a barrier membrane to prevent fast-growing gum tissue from invading the slow-growing bone graft. Standard resorbable collagen membranes/plugs are included in our flat-rate surgical site fees.
12. How long does a bone graft or sinus lift take to heal before the final crown is placed?
Minor socket/buccal grafts placed simultaneously with an implant heal alongside the implant in 3 to 4 months. Larger sinus lifts and vertical GBR grafts mature into dense load-bearing bone over 4 to 6 months before your permanent Zirconia crown is attached on Trip 2.
