Why come to China for dental work?

Three reasons: (1) cost — China's dental market underwent volume-based procurement (VBP) reform in 2023, dropping implant prices by ~50%; combined with lower clinical labour, an implant runs $800–$1,800 in China vs $3,000–$6,000 in the US; (2) speed — full-arch restoration that takes 6–9 months at home can be staged and completed in 10–14 days in China with same-day digital workflows; (3) quality — top international clinics use Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Astra Tech implants — the same products used worldwide.

Are Chinese dental clinics safe and accredited?

Top dental clinics for international patients are: (1) JCI-accredited international hospital dental departments (Beijing United Family, Shanghai United Family); (2) Class A teaching hospital dental departments (Peking University School of Stomatology, West China School of Stomatology, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital); (3) high-end private dental groups (Arrail, MAY Dental). All use international-brand materials and digital workflows.

What dental procedures are most popular?

By international patient volume: (1) single tooth implants $800–$1,800; (2) full-arch all-on-4 / all-on-6 $8,000–$14,000; (3) full-mouth restoration (multiple crowns + bridges) $5,000–$15,000; (4) Invisalign clear aligners $2,500–$5,500; (5) zirconia / E-max veneers $300–$700 per tooth; (6) wisdom tooth extraction $200–$500. China is also a leading destination for full-mouth digital reconstruction using same-day CAD/CAM workflows.

How long do I need to stay?

Single implant + crown: 2 trips of 5–7 days (3–6 months apart for osseointegration), or single 10–14 day trip with immediate-load implant. Full-arch all-on-4: 7–14 days same trip with immediate-load. Invisalign: initial 5-day fitting + remote monitoring with optional return visits. Veneers: 7–10 days. Most patients combine treatment with sightseeing.

What implant brands are used in China?

Top international clinics use: Straumann (Switzerland) — premium tier, ~$1,400–$1,800 per implant; Nobel Biocare (Sweden) — $1,200–$1,600; Astra Tech / Dentsply Sirona — $1,000–$1,500; Osstem (Korea) — $700–$1,000; Bicon, Hiossen — mid-tier. Domestic Chinese implants (e.g. WEGO) are also widely used at $600–$900. Confirm brand in your written quote — never accept unbranded.

What's the cost of a full mouth restoration?

Full-arch all-on-4 (one jaw): $8,000–$14,000 including 4 implants, immediate-load temporary, and final zirconia bridge. Both jaws: $15,000–$26,000. Full-mouth single implants + crowns (8–12 implants): $15,000–$28,000. The same treatment in the US runs $24,000–$50,000+ per arch — making this one of the highest-savings procedures in dental tourism.

Will my home dentist follow up?

Yes — most adjustments and routine maintenance can be done by your home dentist with the bilingual treatment summary, X-rays and CBCT we provide. For complications or warranty work, top Chinese clinics offer 1–10 year implant warranties; many cover return-trip remediation. Confirm warranty terms in writing before booking.

What about veneers and cosmetic dentistry?

Zirconia and E-max veneers: $300–$700 per tooth in China vs $1,200–$2,500 in the US. Full set of 8–10 anterior veneers: $2,500–$6,000 total. Same-day digital workflow available at Arrail and MAY Dental Beijing/Shanghai locations. Discuss conservative vs aggressive prep with your dentist — over-aggressive veneer prep is a documented risk in tourism markets.
