Southampton implant prices compared with Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam - Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Osstem GBP costs, NHS England context, and total trip economics via Heathrow or Gatwick.
Southampton private practices charge GBP 2,000–3,500 per implant. Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam charges from GBP 1,160 for Nobel Biocare or Straumann. Southampton patients route via Heathrow (75 miles) or Gatwick (80 miles) for Vietnam-bound flights.

Which airport should Southampton implant patients use for Vietnam?
