It's rarely too late. However, a missing tooth causes gradual bone loss in the jaw over time. If significant bone loss has occurred, a bone graft may be needed before implant placement. Our team performs a 3D CBCT scan to assess your bone density and will advise whether grafting is required. Most patients who have been missing teeth for years are still excellent candidates for dental implants in Vietnam.

The right plan depends on how many teeth are missing and where. Options include individual implants for each gap, implant-supported bridges, or All-on-4 / All-on-6 if most teeth in one arch are missing. We always design the most efficient plan — using the fewest implants needed while achieving the best functional and aesthetic result.

Heavily decayed teeth requiring repeated root canals often cost more in the long run — and still fail. If a tooth has less than a 50% chance of long-term survival, replacement with an implant is usually the more predictable and cost-effective choice. We will always give you an honest assessment before recommending extraction.

Active gum disease must be treated before implant placement. Untreated periodontitis significantly increases the risk of implant failure. At Greenfield Dental, we treat the gum disease first with deep cleaning and periodontal therapy. Once your gums are healthy and stable, implants can be placed safely. Don't let gum disease stop you — with proper treatment sequencing, most periodontitis patients become good implant candidates.

All-on-4 or All-on-6 is the gold standard for full arch tooth loss. Using just 4 or 6 implants, we anchor a complete fixed bridge — giving you a full set of stable, natural-looking teeth. Unlike removable dentures, these do not slip, click, or require adhesives. Temporary teeth are placed the same day as surgery in most cases.

Thin or insufficient bone does not automatically disqualify you from implants. Solutions include bone grafting, sinus lift procedures (for the upper jaw), or implant systems designed for limited bone. A 3D CBCT scan at Greenfield Dental will show us your exact bone volume — often where other clinics have said no, we find a solution.

Yes. Failed implants can be removed, the area allowed to heal, and a new implant placed — often with a bone graft. We first identify and correct the cause of failure (infection, poor positioning, bone loss, or bite issues) before re-treatment. Greenfield Dental has experience in implant rescue and revision cases. Send us your X-rays and photos so we can review before your visit.
