The Short Answer
A complete Nobel Biocare dental implant (titanium post, abutment and porcelain crown) in Hanoi typically costs NZD 2,450–2,700 at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi Old Quarter flagship. The same Nobel Biocare system in New Zealand commonly costs NZD 5,500–8,000 for a single implant with crown, so the gap reflects lower Vietnamese clinical labour and lab costs rather than a different-quality component — it is the same Swiss-manufactured Nobel Biocare fixture used in New Zealand clinics. 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 Nobel Biocare Specifically
Nobel Biocare, manufactured in Switzerland, is one of the longest-established implant systems in modern implant dentistry and is often specifically requested by patients who have researched brands before travelling, or who already have a Nobel Biocare implant elsewhere. Picasso Dental Clinic’s Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has been the Nobel Biocare clinical representative in Vietnam since 2007, which is one reason this brand is well established at the flagship clinic. Nobel Biocare is commonly recommended for:
- Complex or highly visible cases, such as front teeth where long-term aesthetic outcomes matter most
- Patients with prior Nobel Biocare implants who want system continuity for future restorative work
- Full-arch and zygomatic implant cases, where Nobel Biocare components are extensively documented in the clinical literature
Nobel Biocare is not made in Vietnam — it is a Swiss-origin system imported and placed here, the same as it would be imported and placed in a New Zealand clinic. Whether Nobel Biocare is right for your specific case is a decision your dentist confirms after reviewing your CBCT scan.
What the Nobel Biocare Combo Price Includes
- Nobel Biocare implant fixture — the titanium post placed in the jawbone (component price alone, before abutment and crown, runs roughly NZD 2,150–2,350)
- 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.
Nobel Biocare vs Other Brands Available at the Same Clinic (NZD, indicative)

Realistic Timing for New Zealand Patients
A Nobel Biocare implant follows the same biological timeline as any implant brand — the fixture itself does not change how quickly bone integrates:
- Trip 1 (3–4 days): Consultation, CBCT scan, Nobel Biocare 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 Nobel Biocare Plan From New Zealand
| Item | New Zealand, Nobel Biocare (NZD) | Hanoi, Nobel Biocare (NZD) |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation + X-ray/CBCT | 250–450 | Included in plan |
| Nobel Biocare fixture + abutment + crown | 5,500–8,000 | 2,450–2,700 |
| Bone graft (if required) | 900–2,000 | 250–500 |
| Indicative total (no graft) | 5,750–8,450 | 2,450–2,700 |
Flights, accommodation and your own travel time are additional costs on the Hanoi side that a New Zealand clinic visit does not require — budget for these realistically. See the dental implants Hanoi vs Australia cost comparison for the underlying reasons behind the price gap, which apply similarly for New Zealand patients.
Why Hanoi Old Quarter for a Nobel Biocare 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. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, Head of Implantology, has placed implants since 2001 and has been Nobel Biocare’s clinical representative in Vietnam since 2007; Nobel Biocare cases at the flagship are reviewed by the implant team he leads.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- Is Nobel Biocare the right recommendation for my specific case, or would a different brand achieve the same outcome for less?
- 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 after-care support is available if an issue arises after I have returned to New Zealand?
- If I already have a Nobel Biocare implant elsewhere in my mouth, does that change what’s recommended here?
Your Next Step
A written, itemised Nobel Biocare 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 Nobel Biocare is genuinely the right recommendation for your case and what it will cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Nobel Biocare implant cost in Hanoi in NZD?
Expect NZD 2,450–2,700 for the full combo (fixture, abutment and crown) at Picasso Dental Clinic’s Hanoi flagship. This sits in the premium tier alongside Straumann, above Osstem and ETK/Neodent/SIC.
Is Nobel Biocare better than Straumann or Osstem?
Nobel Biocare and Straumann are both premium Swiss systems with extensive clinical documentation; Osstem is a widely used, cost-effective South Korean system suitable for standard cases. Which is “better” depends on your case and, in some situations, whether you already have an implant of a particular system elsewhere in your mouth. Your dentist should recommend a brand based on your CBCT scan.
Is Nobel Biocare manufactured in Vietnam to lower the cost?
No. Nobel Biocare is a Swiss-origin implant system, imported into Vietnam the same way it is imported into New Zealand. The lower Hanoi price reflects local clinical labour and lab costs, not a different-quality or locally substituted component.
Does the 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 a Nobel Biocare 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 get a fixed Nobel Biocare 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, including confirmation that Nobel Biocare is the right brand for your case, is confirmed after an in-person clinical examination.
