Upper jaw dental implant placement is currently the most advanced method for restoring lost teeth, notable for its effectiveness and aesthetics. The degree of risk largely depends on the professional expertise of the treating dentist.
How Much Does Upper Jaw Dental Implant Placement Cost?
Upper jaw dental implant placement is a modern dental solution effectively applied in cases of single tooth loss or multiple tooth loss. This method uses a titanium implant post directly inserted into the jawbone, acting as a natural tooth root, supporting the crown restoration above. The result is a new tooth with standard shape and size, ensuring chewing function comparable to natural teeth.
Compared to other techniques, dental implant costs are generally higher. Therefore, many patients wonder about the current price of upper jaw dental implant placement.
In reality, the cost for upper jaw implant placement typically ranges from 14 – 15 million VND per tooth or more, considered the lowest price at some reputable dental clinics. However, this is only an indicative figure. The specific price will vary depending on the dental condition, type of implant post, technology used, and the service policies of each facility.

Common Upper Jaw Dental Implant Placement Methods Today
When experiencing upper jaw tooth loss, many patients seek effective tooth restoration solutions. Among current techniques, upper jaw dental implant placement is considered the most advanced and modern method. By fully overcoming the drawbacks of removable dentures and traditional dental bridges, this technique allows patients with tooth loss to chew comfortably almost like natural teeth, ensuring both function and aesthetics.
Currently, there are three common methods for upper jaw molar implant placement: single dental implants, full arch All-on-4/All-on-6 implants, and full arch All-on-X implants.
Single Upper Jaw Dental Implant Placement
The single dental implant method is suitable for cases of losing one tooth or several teeth at different positions. This technique allows for the independent restoration of each tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. The dentist will embed an implant post into the jawbone, then attach a porcelain crown via an Abutment connector, creating a tooth with a root-crown structure similar to a natural tooth.
Full Upper Jaw Implant Placement with All-on-4 and All-on-6
All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants are common solutions for cases of full arch tooth loss or multiple continuous teeth. Depending on the condition, the number of implant posts will be 4 or 6.
- All-on-4 is typically applied to the lower jaw, while for the upper jaw, strong and dense jawbone is required.
- All-on-6 is more suitable when the jawbone is weak or for full upper jaw tooth loss.
The implant posts are strategically distributed to evenly distribute the support force, connecting to a CAD/CAM titanium bar, ensuring a strong, durable, and aesthetic restoration of the dental arch.
All-on-X Full Arch Dental Implant Placement
All-on-X full arch dental implant placement is a flexible method, allowing for customization of the number of implant posts from 4 to 6 depending on each individual’s jawbone condition. The more implant posts, the better the chewing ability, ensuring comprehensive restorative effectiveness.
To choose the appropriate method, patients should visit a reputable specialized dental clinic for examination by a dentist, including a CT Cone Beam scan to assess jawbone condition, measure the missing tooth gap, and analyze its relationship with opposing teeth. From there, the dentist will propose the most optimal restoration plan using 3–8 implant posts.
Choosing the correct treatment plan will help the molar implant placement process proceed quickly, safely, save time and cost, while ensuring natural chewing ability and harmonious aesthetics. Do not hesitate to seek out a reputable specialized dental clinic for the earliest support, helping you regain confidence and quality of life.
Is Upper Jaw Dental Implant Placement Dangerous?
One common question many patients have when experiencing upper jaw tooth loss is: “Is upper jaw dental implant placement dangerous? Are there any differences compared to lower jaw implants?” To answer this, it’s first necessary to understand the anatomical structure of the upper jaw, specifically the maxillary sinus – a hollow cavity extending from tooth number 4 to tooth number 8, which functions in airflow, voice resonance, and dust filtration.
Risks of Upper Jaw Implant Placement
Compared to the lower jaw, upper jaw dental implant placement is more complex because the upper jawbone is prone to resorption, has thinner bone density, especially if teeth have been missing for a long time, leading to sinus floor drop and insufficient bone volume for implantation.
In such cases, the dentist is required to perform sinus lift and bone grafting procedures to increase jawbone volume. However, if the procedure is not performed precisely, it can cause perforation or tearing of the sinus membrane, leading to dangerous complications such as:
Maxillary Sinusitis: Often occurs in areas with short bone, due to the sinus membrane – which is thin and easily damaged – being affected.
Implant displacement into the sinus cavity: If a torn sinus membrane is not detected, the implant post can enter the sinus cavity, making treatment complex and requiring specialized intervention.
Dentist’s Professional Expertise
Whether upper jaw dental implant placement is dangerous primarily depends on the dentist’s professional expertise and the systematic investment by a reputable specialized dental clinic. Patients should choose a place that has:
A team of dentists with in-depth knowledge, at least 3-5 years of experience in dental implant placement, and legal practice certificates.
Modern dental technology, supporting the application of high technology to plan treatment, ensure safe and precise procedures, minimize damage, and shorten healing time.
Before proceeding, a thorough examination and clear consultation on the dental implant placement roadmap should be conducted, including sinus lift or bone grafting procedures if necessary. This not only increases safety but also helps restore chewing function and aesthetics effectively and sustainably.
