One missing tooth — from trauma, decay, or a failed root canal — is the simplest implant case, but not always the best dental-tourism case once flights are counted.

When a single implant in Vietnam makes sense

  • You are already travelling to Vietnam
  • You need 2–4 implants in the same arch
  • NZ quote exceeded NZD 6,500 and you want brand-name components cheaper
  • You want Straumann/Nobel but NZ fee is prohibitive

When to stay in New Zealand

  • Only one tooth, no other work
  • You need frequent local adjustments
  • Complex medical history requiring close monitoring

We will say if flights outweigh savings — see break-even on cost comparison.
