3. How much do fixed denture implant methods cost?

Currently, Elite Dental applies the following 2 methods:

3.1. Porcelain dental bridge

This is a method of restoring one or more fixed teeth by using the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth as pillars to carry and support artificial teeth to replace the lost teeth. It will be firmly attached with cement and the customer cannot remove it arbitrarily.

For this method, the price of fixed dentures depends on the ceramic material the customer chooses.

SERVICECOST (VND)/TEETH
Titanium porcelain crown3.000.000
UNC all-ceramic crown5.000.000
Zirconia ceramic crown7.000.000 – 8.000.000

(*) All porcelain teeth at Elite Dental have a genuine 5-year warranty. The total cost of implementation is calculated by the formula: price of making a porcelain dental bridge x number of teeth needed.

Many people choose to make porcelain dental bridges because of the ability to restore missing teeth quickly (in just a few days), relatively high aesthetics, and good chewing ability. However, this method cannot completely preserve real teeth on both sides. In the long term, jaw bone loss occurs and the durability of the teeth is only maintained for 5-7 years.

3.2. Implants

This is a method of restoring lost teeth by placing an implant into the jawbone to replace the tooth root, then the doctor attaches a porcelain crown that resembles a real tooth on top to create a complete tooth.

The price of fixed dentures with Implants is usually based on the type of post and porcelain crown that the customer chooses.

IMPLANT PACKAGECOST (VND)
Implant Korea26.000.000 – 29.000.000
Implant Hahn35.000.000 – 38.000.000
Implant Neodent35.000.000 – 38.000.000
Implant Straumann40.000.000 – 43.000.000

All On 8 full jaw implant265.000.000 – 325.000.000

(*) The above price includes Implant, Abutment and porcelain crown.

Although implants are quite expensive, this is the most advanced method of fixed dentures. Because it can prevent jaw bone loss, help customers chew comfortably like real teeth, and at the same time restore harmonious aesthetics, dental implants have a lifespan of 20 – 30 years or even a lifetime, customers Item is only done once.
