From Australia Back to Vietnam for Dental Implants – Mr. Nam Nguyen’s Peaceful Journey to Enjoy His Golden Years with Family

Mr. John Nguyen Hoang Nam returned from Australia to Vietnam with a complex dental condition: generalized periodontitis, severe mobility of tooth 21 (grade 3), and the loss of several important teeth in both jaws.
At that time, his oral health was far from simple—infected gums, significant bone loss, many teeth missing for years, and a constant risk of further tooth loss.

So what made Mr. Nam decide to return to Vietnam instead of receiving treatment in Australia?
Among so many dental clinics in Nha Trang, why did he choose to trust Viet Han Dental Clinic?
And which treatment plan helped him overcome his worries, restore his smile, and regain confidence?

To learn more about the story behind Mr. Nam Nguyen’s decision and his emotional treatment journey, we invite you to follow the full story below with Viet Han Dental Clinic.

1. Why Mr. Nam Chose to Return to Vietnam for Dental Implants

Mr. Nam has lived in Australia for over 30 years. A busy work life, age-related changes, and long-term eating habits gradually caused his oral health to deteriorate.

He shared honestly: “Dental treatment in Australia is very expensive. I wanted a comprehensive solution, but I also needed a place I could truly trust. When I came back to Vietnam, I carefully researched and visited several clinics in Nha Trang, but I still didn’t feel fully reassured.”

Mr. Nam said his wife was always worried whenever he struggled to eat. She was the one who encouraged him to return to Vietnam for treatment. His son also called frequently, saying: “Dad, just do it properly and finish the treatment. We’ll take care of everything here. You need to fix your teeth so you can eat better—you’ve lost a lot of weight recently.”

The trust and encouragement from his family became the strongest motivation for Mr. Nam to return to Vietnam and commit to a comprehensive implant treatment plan.

2. A Complex Oral Condition at the First Examination

At his first visit to Viet Han Dental Clinic, Dr. Khong Van Quan personally examined Mr. Nam, conducted a Cone Beam CT 3D scan, and evaluated his jawbone, gums, and remaining teeth in detail.

The results showed that his condition had reached a severe stage, with a high risk of complications if left untreated:

• Tooth 21 – Grade 3 mobility: The alveolar bone was almost completely resorbed; the tooth was barely supported by soft tissue and at high risk of falling out.
• Generalized periodontitis: Deep periodontal pockets, inflamed and bleeding gums, uneven bone loss, leading to looseness in multiple teeth.
• Missing teeth: 15, 16, 26, 47, 35, 36: Bite imbalance caused uneven chewing forces, resulting in jaw muscle fatigue and temporal pain.
• Severe bone loss at tooth 26: Sinus lift was mandatory to create sufficient bone volume for implant placement.

3. The Moment Mr. Nam Decided to Choose Viet Han Dental Clinic

After the first in-depth consultation with Dr. Khong Van Quan, Mr. Nam took time to reflect, review his CT scans, and carefully study the proposed treatment plan.
At the second appointment, he shared his thoughts: “I feel that your clinic speaks very clearly and honestly. If something can be done, you say it can. If it can’t, you say it can’t. I really like that. Not everyone does.”

What made Mr. Nam trust Viet Han Dental Clinic:

• Transparent treatment planning: Every step—whether to extract or preserve teeth, bone grafting, sinus lifting, or implant placement—was explained in detail with clear reasoning.
• Dedicated consultation team: Always proactive, patient, and supportive, helping him understand every technical aspect and decision.
• Strict sterilization and safety protocols: Watching each step of surgical preparation and fully sterilized instruments gave him great peace of mind.
• Modern, clean environment: Bright, organized spaces with a gentle antiseptic scent created a professional and trustworthy atmosphere.

During a video call with his family, Mr. Nam happily shared: “I’ve found the place to do my teeth. The doctor here is young but very skilled. The staff are kind and explain everything very carefully.”

4. A Personalized Treatment Plan for Mr. Nam

Based on the Cone Beam CT 3D results and his actual oral condition, Dr. Khong Van Quan designed a clear, step-by-step treatment plan to ensure both safety and optimal outcomes.

Phase 1: Treating Existing Oral Diseases

• Full-mouth ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and reduce gum inflammation.
• Periodontal treatment to decrease swelling and shrink periodontal pockets.
• Daily antiseptic mouth rinses to stabilize gum health before surgery.

Phase 2: Dental Implant Placement

1. Extraction of tooth 21 + Level 2 bone graft + Immediate implant placement

• Gentle extraction to minimize pain and protect surrounding bone.
• Bone grafting combined with PRF membrane to support new bone regeneration.
• Immediate implant placement to preserve bone structure and prevent post-extraction bone loss.

2. Implant placement at teeth 15, 16, 35, 36, 47

• Adequate bone volume—no bone graft required.
• Shorter surgery time and faster recovery.

3. Closed sinus lift + Implant placement at tooth 26

• Closed sinus lift technique to increase bone height.
• Implant placed immediately once primary stability was achieved.

5. Mr. Nam’s Condition After Dental Implant Treatment

During the early recovery period, Mr. Nam followed all instructions carefully: eating soft foods, taking medication on time, maintaining oral hygiene, and attending follow-up visits as scheduled.

He even joked with the doctor: “I listen to the doctor more than I listen to my wife now.”

At each follow-up visit, Mr. Nam brought small gifts, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere for the entire clinic team.
On his last day before returning to Australia, he arrived neatly dressed, wearing a limited-edition tie, and said with a smile: “This tie is only available in Australia. I brought it to Viet Han to take some photos as souvenirs. Later on, when I look back, I’ll remember all of you.”

That moment deeply touched the entire team—a middle-aged patient from overseas who placed his full trust in the clinic and left with a healthier, more confident smile.
For the doctors and staff at Viet Han Dental Clinic, that trust and happiness are the most meaningful rewards of all.
