About Implant Cost Ledger

What this site is

We list costs and show where each price comes from.

• Some lines change with each person, such as a graft or a hotel, and we flag those.
• We do not print a price we cannot source. When a figure is not in a source we can name, the table says so.
• We are not dentists. Nothing here is clinical advice.
• We do not say which treatment you need, whether you are a good fit for implants, or how long to wait before you fly.

Those are questions for a dentist who has examined you. Your own dentist in Australia is a good place to start.

Our income

We can be paid when a reader uses one of the partners named here.

• The main one is Dental Link, a Vietnam concierge that pairs patients with clinics it says it has vetted in two cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
• Dental Link is not a clinic. It does not sell flights, hotels or visas.
• The same notice sits at the foot of every page. We wrote it there so you can see it wherever you land.

The money we may earn does not change the prices on this site. Those come from the sources named at the end of each section, and anyone can check them.

Where the prices come from

Every figure has a named source.

• Australian prices come from Finder's page on implants and health cover, last changed in September 2025.
• Vietnam starting prices come from the prices Dental Link publishes on its own website. We read them again on 11 November 2026 before this site was built.
• Medicare and health fund notes come from Finder, and the follow-up care point from the Australian Dental Association's patient site, teeth.org.au. Always check your own policy.
• The Vietnam e-visa fee comes from reporting on the official e-visa portal.

Prices change. If you find a number here that no longer matches its source, trust the source and the written quote in your hand over this page.

What we leave out on purpose

Some things stay off this site by choice.

• We do not name clinics.
• We do not publish patient stories or star ratings.
• We do not print saving percentages, because the saving depends on your own case and travel, and a percentage can hide that.
• We also do not give flight or hotel prices, because they move every week. The budget worksheet asks for your own figures instead.

Who this site is for

This site is written for Australians who already have a quote from a local dentist, for one implant, several, or a full arch. They want to know what the same work would cost after a flight to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi.

• The prices here are shown in the currency each source used, with Australian dollars first where we have them.
• If you live elsewhere, the cost lines still apply, but the Medicare and health fund notes will not.

How to use the site

Three steps take you through it.

1. Start with the line by line cost guide. It lists fifteen lines, from the scan to the check up at home.
2. Then read how to read an implant quote, so you know what a full quote should say.
3. Finally, put your numbers into the worksheet and compare the total with your Australian quote.

If something on a page is unclear or out of date, the best fix is to check the source named under it. We update the date at the top of each page whenever we change a price.
