All-on-4 in Glasgow vs Vietnam - GBP cost comparison 2026
Glasgow All-on-4 prices compared with Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam - per-arch GBP costs, Scotland NHS context, and total trip economics from Glasgow Airport.
Glasgow private practices charge GBP 10,000–18,000+ per arch for All-on-4. Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam charges from GBP 3,623 per arch for Osstem and GBP 6,377 for Nobel Biocare or Straumann. Glasgow patients save GBP 4,000–11,000+ per arch after the full trip cost.
Glasgow patients considering All-on-4 face a straightforward economic comparison. Private full-arch implant treatment in Scotland is expensive and the saving from Vietnam treatment — even after two long-haul flights — is often GBP 5,000–15,000 per case.
Scotland NHS dental context for Glasgow patients
Scotland operates a separate NHS dental system from England. Scottish NHS dental charges are based on 80% of treatment cost up to a maximum of GBP 384 per course (2026). However, All-on-4 and full-arch implant treatment is not available on NHS Scotland in routine circumstances.
The comparison for Glasgow All-on-4 patients is between Scottish private fees and Picasso Vietnam, not NHS and Vietnam.

The All-on-4 protocol at Picasso
Dr. Tran Thanh Phong leads all full-arch cases at the Hanoi Old Quarter branch. He performed Vietnam’s first immediate-loading All-on-4 procedure in 2010.
For Glasgow patients the process is:
- Submit OPG and photographs through free quote.
- Receive an initial GBP estimate, brand choice, and timeline.
- Fly to Hanoi. CBCT scan confirms bone volume and implant positioning.
- Surgery day: four implants placed per arch, provisional bridge fitted the same day for immediate-loading cases.
- Review appointments to confirm bite and adjust bridge.
- Leave with provisional bridge, implant brand documentation, treatment summary, and warranty.
Stay in Glasgow if…
- You have uncontrolled medical conditions. Discuss with your GP before any elective surgery abroad.
- Active infection or significant periodontal disease is present. These must be treated first.
- You smoke heavily. Smoking increases failure risk and most surgeons recommend cessation before All-on-4 surgery.
- You cannot allocate 10–14 calendar days for the initial trip.

Frequently asked questions
How much does All-on-4 cost in Glasgow?
Glasgow private practices typically quote GBP 10,000–18,000+ per arch for All-on-4 depending on implant brand and prosthetic specification. The range reflects significant variation between specialist implant centres and general practices offering All-on-4.
Is All-on-4 available on the NHS in Scotland?
No. All-on-4 is not routinely available on NHS Scotland. Scottish NHS dental treats implants only in exceptional clinical circumstances. The comparison for Glasgow patients is between Scottish private fees and Picasso Vietnam.
Can Glasgow patients fly direct to Vietnam?
No direct flights exist from Glasgow to Vietnam. Glasgow Airport (GLA) has one-stop connections via Dubai (Emirates) and Doha (Qatar Airways). Total journey time to Hanoi is approximately 14–17 hours. Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is 45–60 minutes away and worth comparing for fares and schedules.
Can All-on-4 be completed in one trip from Glasgow?
For eligible immediate-loading cases, yes — 7–10 clinic days in Vietnam with the provisional bridge fitted the same day as surgery. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong assesses eligibility after reviewing a CBCT scan. Staged cases require a return trip after osseointegration.
Which Picasso branch suits Glasgow All-on-4 patients?
Hanoi Old Quarter is the recommended branch for All-on-4 and complex implant cases. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong and the senior implant team are based there. Do not select a branch before Picasso reviews your clinical records.
