What matters clinically
All-on-6 adds support and cost compared with All-on-4. It should be chosen because the bone and bite plan justify it, not because six implants sounds automatically better.
For all-on-6, compare the written plan more carefully than the headline price. The plan should show material or implant brand, number of visits, temporary work, final restoration, warranty documents, and what happens if adjustment is needed after returning to New Zealand.
Country-specific notes
Warranty: 5-10 years on implant fixture (Straumann/Nobel); 2-5 years on bridge. VOID if treated elsewhere. All warranty travel at patient cost. 6 implants provide better support for heavy bite/grinders. Risk: More complex surgery, longer healing.
Vietnam-specific notes
Picasso prices are in NZD and should be checked against kb/prices.md. The quote should also confirm scans, temporaries, material selection, treatment sequence, and aftercare documents.
