The Short Answer
A complete Osstem dental implant (titanium post, abutment and porcelain crown) in Hanoi typically costs AUD 1,400–1,650 or NZD 1,550–1,800 at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi Old Quarter flagship. The same combination in Australia commonly costs AUD 4,000–6,500, or NZD 4,500–7,000 in New Zealand, for a single implant with crown — so the gap reflects lower Vietnamese clinical labour and lab costs, not a lower-quality component. Osstem is a South Korean system with a wide global track record, and the same fixture placed here is the same one used in clinics across Australia and New Zealand. This is a general guide, not a quote: your final price depends on your bone volume, whether a graft is needed, and confirmation from a dentist after reviewing your X-ray.
Why Patients Ask for Osstem Specifically
Osstem is one of the most widely placed implant brands worldwide and is generally the most cost-effective option at Picasso Dental Clinic. Patients commonly choose it for:
- Standard single-tooth or multi-tooth cases without unusual bone or aesthetic complexity
- Value-conscious treatment plans, where a patient wants a reputable, well-documented system without paying a premium-tier price
- Back teeth, where visibility is less of a priority than for front teeth
Osstem is not a “budget” implant in the sense of being unproven — it has an extensive clinical history and is commonly used as a first-line recommendation for uncomplicated cases. Whether Osstem or a premium brand is the right fit for your case depends on your bone quality and aesthetic priorities, which your dentist confirms after reviewing your CBCT scan.
What the Osstem Combo Price Includes
- Osstem implant fixture — the titanium post placed in the jawbone (component price alone, before abutment and crown, runs roughly AUD 1,090 / NZD 1,200)
- Abutment — titanium standard, or zirconia at extra cost for a better gumline appearance on visible front teeth
- Porcelain crown — the visible tooth, shade-matched to your smile
It does not include bone grafting, sinus lifts, sedation beyond standard local anaesthetic, or a CBCT 3D scan if you don’t already have a recent one — these are quoted separately once your dentist has reviewed your imaging. Ask for a written itemised quote before booking flights.

Realistic Timing for Australian and New Zealand Patients
An Osstem implant follows the same biological healing timeline as any implant brand — the fixture itself does not change how quickly bone integrates:
- Trip 1 (3–4 days): Consultation, CBCT scan, Osstem implant placement, and a temporary crown or healing cap fitted before you fly home.
- Healing period (3–6 months): Osseointegration happens gradually and is not accelerated by brand choice.
- Trip 2 (2–3 days): Return to Hanoi for the final porcelain crown once imaging confirms integration.
Some straightforward cases with strong bone density may be candidates for a shorter combined visit, but this is a clinical decision confirmed only after your CBCT scan.
Comparing a Like-for-Like Osstem Plan From Australia or New Zealand
| Item | Australia (AUD) | New Zealand (NZD) | Hanoi, Osstem (AUD / NZD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consultation + X-ray/CBCT | 150–350 | 250–450 | Included in plan |
| Osstem fixture + abutment + crown | 4,000–6,500 | 4,500–7,000 | 1,400–1,650 / 1,550–1,800 |
| Bone graft (if required) | 800–1,800 | 900–2,000 | 220–480 / 250–500 |
| Indicative total (no graft) | 4,150–8,300 | 4,750–9,000 | 1,400–1,650 / 1,550–1,800 |
Flights, accommodation and your own travel time are additional costs on the Hanoi side that a local clinic visit does not require — budget for these realistically. See the dental implants Hanoi vs Australia cost comparison for a fuller breakdown of the underlying cost gap, which applies similarly for New Zealand patients.
Why Hanoi Old Quarter Suits an Osstem Case
Picasso Dental Clinic’s flagship at 16 Phố Châu Long, Trúc Bạch, Ba Đình is a short, direct transfer from Noi Bai International Airport, close to Trúc Bạch Lake and West Lake (Hồ Tây), and within walking distance of the Old Quarter — a genuinely useful base whether you’re travelling from Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland or Wellington. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, Head of Implantology, leads the flagship’s implant team, and standard cases like an Osstem single implant are a routine part of the team’s caseload.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- Is Osstem a suitable recommendation for my specific case, or does my bone quality point toward a different brand?
- What is included in the quoted combo price, and what is billed separately?
- Do I need a bone graft, and has that been factored into the quote?
- How many trips will this realistically take, and how long between them?
- What is the after-care policy if an issue arises after I have returned home?
- If I later want a second implant, does using Osstem now affect what’s recommended?
Your Next Step
A written, itemised Osstem quote requires your dentist to see a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan. Send your imaging for a remote assessment before committing to travel dates, so you know whether Osstem is the right recommendation for your case and what it will cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Osstem implant cost in Hanoi in AUD or NZD?
Expect AUD 1,400–1,650 or NZD 1,550–1,800 for the full combo (fixture, abutment and crown) at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi flagship. Osstem is the most cost-effective brand offered, below ETK/Neodent/SIC, Nobel Biocare and Straumann.
Is Osstem a lower-quality implant than Straumann or Nobel Biocare?
Osstem is a well-documented South Korean system with an extensive global clinical history, not a lower-tier substitute. Straumann and Nobel Biocare are premium Swiss systems typically recommended for more complex or highly visible cases. Your dentist should recommend a brand based on your CBCT scan and case complexity, not on price alone.
Does the AUD/NZD price include my flights and accommodation?
No. The quoted implant price covers clinical treatment only. Flights, accommodation and local transport in Hanoi are separate costs to budget for alongside the treatment price.
How many trips to Hanoi will I need for an Osstem implant?
Typically two: an initial 3–4 day trip for consultation, scanning and surgery, and a second 2–3 day trip 3–6 months later for the final crown once the implant has integrated.
Can I upgrade from Osstem to a premium brand partway through treatment?
No — the implant fixture is placed early in treatment and cannot be swapped once surgery has occurred. Brand selection needs to be confirmed before your placement appointment, based on your CBCT scan and discussion with your dentist.
Can I get a fixed Osstem price before I travel?
You can get a written, itemised estimate based on a remote review of your X-ray or CBCT scan. The final fixed treatment plan is confirmed after an in-person clinical examination.
