Section 1

Your inputs and an overview of the three methods

Section 1 lists what you submitted, then objectively introduces the three mainstream methods (indications, known limitations). The final treatment plan is decided by you and your chosen doctor.

Your inputs

  • · Full upper-arch edentulism; bone-volume condition pending CT review
  • · Budget ¥80,000–150,000
  • · Conversational English; one travel companion; 12 days available

Three mainstream methods (per Maló 2019 / ITI Consensus 2021)

MethodIndicationsKnown limitations / risks
All-on-4Full-arch edentulism (upper or lower); ≥6 mm anterior bone height; 4 implants with immediate loadingLonger cantilever; higher long-term wear in patients with strong bite force
All-on-6Full-arch edentulism; shorter cantilever; slightly less long-term marginal bone resorptionTwo additional implant sites; price ~20–30% higher
ZygomaticSevere maxillary atrophy where conventional implants cannot be placedHigh technical complexity; offered by only a few tertiary public and foreign-affiliated hospitals

Hospitals we contacted for quotes (full numbers in Section 2)

  • · JIAHUI INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL · Shanghai
  • · BEIJING UNITED FAMILY HOSPITAL · Beijing
  • · PARKWAY HEALTH · Shanghai

Candidates not on the main shortlist

  • PERFECT SMILE·DENTAL HOSPITAL— Two patient-dispute records on public record in the past 18 months

This section is methodological information; it is not a recommendation tailored to your case. The final treatment plan is decided by you and your chosen doctor.

PVG / SHA

Why we put Shanghai first

  • · Dense private mid- and high-tier options (United Family, Jiahui, Parkway) plus public tertiary intl. depts. (Shanghai 9th, Huashan)
  • · PVG / SHA: multiple daily direct flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland — 11–12 hours
  • · Apr–May and Sep–Nov: mild weather, suitable for outdoor activities during recovery

Where to stay

  • · Jing'an / Huangpu (15–30 min walk to most hospitals; 24-hour convenience stores nearby)
  • Avoid: Pudong/Lujiazui (25–40 min taxi from most private hospitals)

Light activities for Day 6–12 (soft-tissue recovery)

  • · The Bund / North Bund stroll (cool evenings; flat ~1.5 h walk)
  • · Wukang Rd / Hengshan Rd (cafés and former French Concession architecture; 2 h slow walk)
  • · Shanghai Museum (People's Square branch — indoor, easy seating)
  • Yu Garden on weekends (long queues; smoky street snacks irritate the surgical site)
  • Oriental Pearl / Shanghai Tower observation decks (elevator pressure changes — avoid for 2 weeks post-op)

Where your companion can go on surgery days (Day 4–5)

  • · Power Station of Art (PSA) — half-day, free entry
  • · Zhujiajiao Water Town — direct subway, half-day
  • · Suzhou day trip (30-min high-speed rail; back within your 8-hour surgery window)

Soft-food restaurants (dental-specific picks)

  • · Shanghainese soft dishes: Lan Xin · steamed-egg custard, deboned sweet-and-sour pork ribs
  • · Cantonese steamed: Ming Court, Fu Lin Men · steamed fish, har gow, rice rolls
  • · Japanese: Sushi Aoi · chawanmushi and soft nigiri
  • Avoid: hotpot, mala, BBQ, anything crunchy (within 14 days post-op)

Day-by-day allocation

  • Day 1: arrival + check-in (incl. Day 0 jet-lag buffer)
  • Day 2–3: consultation + CBCT + surgical planning + half-day French Concession
  • Day 4–5: surgery (companion sightseeing)
  • Day 6–9: soft-tissue recovery (Bund, museum, Suzhou day trip)
  • Day 10–12: suture removal + temporary prosthesis adjustment + departure

Alternate cities (light intro)

Section 6

Risk assessment for your case (top 3)

Based on your CT report and history, the brief lists the top 3 most relevant risks for your method, with each candidate hospital's response plan. This section is a format sample.

Risk 1 · Maxillary sinus floor infection

In cases with borderline posterior bone height (~8 mm on CT), distal tilted implants in All-on-4 may approach the sinus floor. Literature reports 2–5% sinus-floor infection within 1 year for such cases.

Response: Jiahui · intra-op real-time CBCT navigation / Shanghai United Family · ENT consultation on call / HKU Shenzhen · puncture backup plan available

Risk 2 · Immediate-loading stability

All-on-4 immediate loading requires ≥30 N·cm initial stability. In cases without quantitative bone-density assessment, occasional implant-site instability is observed (5–8%).

Response: All three candidate hospitals offer a delayed-loading fallback at no extra cost — if intraoperative torque misses target, the plan switches to delayed.

Risk 3 · Permanent prosthesis fit and wear

Full-zirconia bridge: ~3% fit deviation rate at 5 years. Composite resin: ~8% wear at 5 years. Bite-force measurement requires an in-person dentist.

Response: All three offer 5-year fit recheck and free adjustment if needed. The composite-resin option includes one free replacement within 5 years (HKU Shenzhen only).

This section organizes information; it is not a clinical judgment about your case. All risk assessments must be confirmed by you and your chosen doctor in person, with your records.

Section 7

M-visa invitation letter + materials checklist
