BACKGROUND
About Dr. Hung
Dr. Bui Manh Hung was born in Vinh Phuc and earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Before specializing in implant surgery, he built a strong foundation in esthetic restorative dentistry, personally fabricating the ceramic restorations in the laboratory for every one of his cases.
This background shapes his surgical approach. In his view, an implant succeeds only when the crown it supports delivers reliable function, natural esthetics and long-term stability. He therefore determines the position of the final restoration first and only then places the implant to meet that prosthetic requirement.
By uniting restorative insight with surgical expertise, Dr. Hung plans each case as a single, integrated treatment from the outset, minimizing the need for compromise or adjustment during the restorative phase.
His clinical focus includes implant surgery, bone grafting, sinus augmentation, and gingival grafting. He is a member of the International Team for Implantology (ITI) and a faculty member at THL Academy, a center for advanced implant education.
Treatment Philosophy: Restoration-Driven Implantology
What a patient lives with for years is not the implant fixture, but the tooth they chew with every day. Every case therefore begins with one question: where should the final restoration be?
- Begin with the end in mind: The restoration is designed first, defining the position, contour, and occlusion of the final tooth, and implant placement is then planned on CBCT.
- Position the implant for the restoration: Precise control of implant position, depth, and angulation ensures axial loading, ease of hygiene, and esthetic harmony.
- Preserve bone and soft tissue: Minimally invasive techniques are prioritized, and bone grafting or sinus augmentation is recommended only when clinically necessary to establish a stable foundation.
- One clinician, one continuous plan: The dentist who plans the restoration also performs the surgery, so every surgical decision is aligned with the final prosthetic outcome.
- Designed for longevity: A well-positioned implant and a functionally sound restoration are the basis for stable function and straightforward long-term maintenance.
