Why dental is our focus

The clearest value in medical travel.

Cancer treatment, cardiac surgery and complex internal medicine all carry clinical variables a coordinator cannot responsibly simplify. Restorative dentistry is different: the materials are standardised internationally, the procedure is well-defined, and the price difference is genuine and verifiable.

The same implant brands, at a fraction of the price

Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem — the systems used in London, Sydney and Toronto are the same systems used here. China's volume-based procurement programme cut implant material costs by roughly 55% nationally, and public hospitals sell them at zero markup.

No waiting list for elective work

In several countries a routine implant sits behind a months-long referral queue. Here, once your scans are reviewed, surgery can usually be scheduled within weeks rather than quarters.

Digital workflow, not analogue guesswork

CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning and guided surgical planning are standard in the department. You receive the scan data, not just a verbal opinion.

The savings compound on complex cases

A single implant saves a meaningful amount. A full-arch case — where grafting, multiple fixtures and a full prosthesis are involved — is where the difference becomes large enough to justify the flight.

What we will not claim. We do not say Chinese dentistry is better than dentistry anywhere else. It is not. What we say is that this department uses internationally standardised implant systems, performs the procedures routinely, and prices them far below Western private practice — and that we will show you the itemised quote before you commit to anything.

How the practice is equipped

We work with a large dedicated dental practice in Chongqing, set up for implant surgery rather than a general clinic that also places implants. Dedicated implant suite, CBCT in the building, and prosthetics produced on a clinical timescale through a laboratory arrangement the practice controls.

That last point is what makes a two-visit schedule honest: the permanent crown or bridge is made during the 30 to 45 days you are at home, not rushed inside a single week. We will confirm the specific practice, its equipment list and the surgeons who would handle your case in your written quote — before you commit to anything.

Indicative pricing

What implants cost here, against what you pay at home.

Ranges below reflect pricing under China's national procurement programme for implant materials, compared with typical private fees in three common source markets. Final figures depend on bone condition, implant brand and prosthesis type — all confirmed after your scans are reviewed.

Conversion at approximately ¥7.15 to US$1. Home-market ranges are indicative private-practice figures compiled from published 2026 market data and vary by city, practitioner and case complexity. Implant material pricing at public hospitals in China is governed by the national volume-based procurement programme and sold at zero markup; surgical service fees are subject to provincial caps. All figures are indicative and are superseded by the written quote for your specific case.

Our service fee

Published, not "discussed later".

Most medical-travel sites leave their own fee out of the website entirely. We publish ours, because you should be able to calculate your total before you make contact — not after.

Service	What is included	Fee
Initial case review	Review of your scans or treatment history, a written estimate, and a recommendation on whether travelling is worth it for your case.	Free
Remote consultation coordination	Scheduling a video or written consultation with the department, translating the question and the answer.	Free
Treatment coordination — dental	Appointment booking, case liaison with the department, interpreting during consultations and surgery, sequencing across your trip.	¥3,800 per case
Treatment coordination — screening	Screening slot booking, package selection, on-site accompaniment, translated report delivery.	¥1,800 per person
Combined dental + screening	Both of the above, with the screening day built into the first trip.	¥4,800 per case
Arrival support	Airport transfer, hotel check-in assistance, hospital registration on your first day.	¥900
Medical visa invitation letter	Preparing and issuing the clinic's invitation letter and supporting documents.	¥600
Interpreting — additional days	Beyond the days included in treatment coordination, billed per half-day.	¥450 / half-day

What the fee does not cover. Hospital charges, implant materials, laboratory work, medication, accommodation, flights and travel insurance are all paid separately and directly to the relevant provider. You will see the clinic's own itemised bill — we do not take a margin on clinical charges, and we do not receive commission from the practice for steering you toward a particular treatment.

Treatment timeline

This is not one visit. Plan for three, spread over months.

Implant dentistry has a biological limit no clinic can engineer around: the titanium fixture must fuse with bone before it can carry a permanent crown. In the mandible that takes three to four months; in the maxilla, four to six. Anyone selling you a single round trip for a completed implant is either describing immediate loading — which suits a minority of cases — or misrepresenting the process.

Visit one

Days 1–5

≈5 days in Chongqing

Assessment, then surgery

CBCT and intraoral scan on arrival, a written plan and itemised quote the same or next day, then implant placement once you have agreed to it. Where the case allows, a temporary prosthesis is fitted so you are not without teeth for three months.

Extractions, bone grafting or a sinus lift, if your scan calls for them, happen here — and they change the schedule. Grafting adds its own healing interval of three to six months before the implant can even be placed.

The interval

30–45+ days

osseointegration

Bone fuses to titanium. Nothing can hurry this.

This is the part that determines your calendar. A 30-day interval is realistic for a straightforward mandibular case in good bone. Upper-jaw sites usually need 45 days or more, and grafting pushes it to three to six months.

You spend this interval at home. We stay in contact, relay any questions to the clinician, and hold your second appointment. Your local dentist can monitor the site if that is easier — we send them the records to do it.

Days 6–9

Abutment, impression, permanent crown

Second-stage exposure, healing abutment, soft-tissue contouring, then scanning and fitting of the permanent prosthesis. Most cases need two to three days on site, with the laboratory work turned around in between.

Where the interval has been short and the tissue needs longer to contour, we may ask you to allow a fourth day rather than rush the fit.

Returns required

The honest arithmetic. Two trips is the real cost of implant dentistry, and it is the cost at home too — the difference is that at home you wait in a queue between them, and here you wait on a train. Factor the second flight into your comparison. For a single implant, the fare can eat most of the saving. For a full-arch case it does not come close.

On "one-visit implants". Immediate-loading protocols are legitimate for selected cases — good bone quality, adequate primary stability, usually a single arch. They are not appropriate for every patient, and no clinic should promise them before seeing your scan. Even with immediate loading, the permanent prosthesis still waits for osseointegration.

Scope

What the department treats.

Implantology

Single and multiple implants, immediate implant placement after extraction, guided surgery, and full-arch rehabilitation on four or six fixtures.

Prosthodontics

Zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns, veneers, bridges, and removable or fixed prostheses — designed from intraoral scan data.

Orthodontics

Fixed appliances and clear aligners for adults, including pre-restorative alignment before implant or prosthetic work.

Endodontics

Root canal treatment under magnification, retreatment of previously treated teeth, and post-and-core restoration.

Oral surgery

Minimally invasive extraction, impacted wisdom teeth, bone grafting, and sinus floor elevation.

Periodontal care

Scaling, root planing and periodontal maintenance — usually the necessary first step before any implant work.
