Answers to the questions international patients ask most
Single tooth dental implants in Shanghai cost approximately $800-$1,500 per tooth, compared to $3,000-$5,000 in the USA, $1,800-$3,000 in Japan, and $2,000-$3,500 in Germany. A full arch implant (All-on-4) costs about $6,000-$9,000 in Shanghai versus $20,000-$30,000 in the USA. Savings of 70% apply to the same premium implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, ITI) used in Western clinics.
Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital — Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — is China's leading dental hospital and a Class A Tertiary center. It is nationally ranked as the top dental and maxillofacial center in China, performing more than 30,000 implant procedures annually. The hospital uses premium implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, ITI, Ankylos) and CAD/CAM digital dentistry for international patients.
Yes. Shanghai dental hospitals use the same premium implant brands as Western clinics — Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Switzerland), ITI, Ankylos (Germany), and globally certified Chinese systems. Implant abutments, crowns (zirconia, lithium disilicate), and bridges are fabricated in certified CAD/CAM dental laboratories using the same materials as in the USA and Europe.
A standard two-stage implant procedure requires 2 visits: the first visit (3-7 days) for implant placement, and the second visit (7-14 days) 3-4 months later for abutment and crown placement. Immediate-load implants (same-day teeth) are available for select cases. All-on-4 full arch restoration can often be completed in 7-10 days, making it ideal for international patients who prefer a single trip.
Absolutely. Many international patients combine multiple procedures — implants, crowns, root canals, veneers, and whitening — in a single 2-3 week trip. Our dental coordinator arranges a comprehensive treatment plan, sequential appointments, and lab work to maximize your time in Shanghai and minimize travel costs.
