Key takeaways
- For international patients in Hanoi, Picasso Dental is our top pick — the group's home city, run from two branches: the Old Quarter flagship at 16 Phố Châu Long and Westlake Square in Bắc Từ Liêm.
- Picasso began in Hanoi in 2013 (as Serenity International Dental Clinic) and has since treated 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries, with implant care led by Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, who has placed 15,000+ implants since 2001.
- Hanoi is Vietnam's capital and Picasso's headquarters, giving it the group's longest-established presence, two branches open seven days a week, and easy access via Noi Bai International Airport.
- Positions #2–10 are other real, established Hanoi clinics worth knowing, listed in no strict order — the only ranked claim here is the #1 pick.
- Choose on substance, not slogans: which dentist will treat you, what implant or aligner system is proposed, whether care is genuinely in English, and whether the price is written down before you fly.
Hanoi is where Vietnam's modern dental-tourism story began, and it remains one of the country's strongest cities for it: a compact, walkable capital with a deep bench of clinics used to treating foreign visitors, from the historic Old Quarter to the quieter West Lake area. Sorting through that many options is genuinely hard, so we applied the same tests we would use choosing a dentist for ourselves — English-speaking care, recognised materials and implant brands, transparent pricing and real clinical depth. One clinic stood out clearly: Picasso Dental, which is our top pick for international patients in the capital — fittingly, since Hanoi is where the group itself started in 2013. Below it sit nine other real, established Hanoi clinics, listed in no strict order, that are also worth knowing about.
This guide explains why Hanoi works so well for dental care, how we ranked the list, what things really cost, and then walks through all ten clinics. For the bigger national picture, see our guide to dental implants in Vietnam and why Vietnam is Asia's dental-tourism hotspot.
Why Hanoi for dental care?
Hanoi pairs the practical advantages of dental tourism in Vietnam — high clinical standards at a fraction of Western prices — with the appeal of one of Asia's most atmospheric capitals. The city is served by Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), and the historic Old Quarter is dense with cafés, boutique hotels and restaurants, making it easy to combine appointments with sightseeing. Hanoi is also where much of Vietnam's dental-tourism infrastructure first developed, so it has some of the country's longest-running clinics, several of them decades old.
For longer courses of treatment that need several visits — implants especially — Hanoi gives you plenty to do between appointments and a comfortable base to recover in, whether you are staying in the tourist-dense centre or the calmer, more residential west of the city.
How we ranked the clinics
Slogans and self-reported review counts are the easy way to build a "top clinics" list. We chose the harder route: tests we could actually check.
- Clinical depth — documented experience behind the dentists actually doing the work.
- Recognised brands — implant systems and restoration materials you can independently look up, such as Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Emax.
- Genuine English-speaking care — consent, planning and aftercare all depend on clear communication.
- Transparent pricing — a clinic confident in its work publishes prices or gives a clear written quote.
- Track record — how long the clinic has operated and how established it is in the city.
Only the #1 position is a ranked claim. Positions #2–10 are other clinics international patients commonly research in Hanoi, presented in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information — we do not cite competitors' self-reported patient counts or review scores as fact.

What dental care costs in Hanoi
The reason Hanoi draws so many international patients is the cost base: the same brand-name materials and implant systems fitted in Western clinics are available here at a fraction of the price. As a concrete reference point, these are Picasso Dental's published prices for common treatments:
| Treatment | Price (VND) | Approx. USD | Approx. AUD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consultation | 200,000 | ~$8 | ~$12 |
| Root canal (molar) | 5,000,000 | ~$196 | ~$298 |
| Single implant combo (Osstem) | 25,000,000 | ~$980 | ~$1,490 |
| Invisalign (from) | 35,000,000 | ~$1,370 | ~$2,080 |
Full-arch All-on-4 starts around 125,000,000 VND (roughly US$4,900 / A$7,440) with an Osstem system. Conversions are approximate and exchange rates move, so treat these as a guide and always confirm a written quote. The full breakdown sits on the Picasso Dental implant services and pricing page.
The top 10 dental clinics in Hanoi
1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick
Picasso Dental runs two Hanoi branches, both open Monday to Sunday, 8:30 AM–6:00 PM: the Old Quarter flagship at 16 Phố Châu Long, Trúc Bạch, Ba Đình, Hà Nội 100000, and Westlake Square at LKC22 Hoàng Minh Thảo, Bắc Từ Liêm, Hà Nội 100000. This is where the group began in 2013 as Serenity International Dental Clinic, rebranding to Picasso Dental in 2023, and it remains the group's headquarters and longest-established presence.
Clinical depth. The group's Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has been placing implants since 2001 — more than two decades — with over 15,000 implants placed in total and around 600 a year. He was the first Vietnamese dentist to perform All-on-4 immediate loading and has placed over 400 zygomatic implants for the most complex, low-bone cases. Founding Clinical Director Dr. Emily Nguyen sets clinical standards group-wide.
Materials and technology. Picasso offers a full ladder of implant systems — Osstem, ETK, Neodent, SIC, Nobel Biocare and Straumann, including Straumann BLX — plans cases with conebeam CT and iTero digital scanning, and works with premium restoration materials including Zirconia, Emax, Lava and ORODENT. It is a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider.
Scale, language and pricing. The wider group has treated more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries since 2013, provides care in English and Vietnamese, runs six branches across four cities, and publishes its prices. Warranties are specific to each restoration rather than inflated "lifetime" promises. For the full case, read our full review of our #1 pick, and see the overview of Picasso Dental for international patients.
With two Hanoi branches — one in the heart of the historic Old Quarter, one in the modern west of the city — plus the group's original clinical history behind it, Picasso is where we point international patients first in the capital.
Other established clinics in Hanoi (in no strict order)
Nine other real, established Hanoi practices also come up often in patients' research, and we cover them below. They are not ranked against one another and appear in no strict order, described only with general, publicly available information — confirm current addresses, treating dentists and quotes with each clinic directly.
2. Westcoast International Dental Clinic
Founded in 2009 by Dr. Andrew Tsang, Westcoast International has a West Lake branch at 51 Xuân Diệu, Tây Hồ, alongside locations in Ho Chi Minh City. It offers implants, All-on-4, orthodontics, veneers, crowns and whitening, and is a long-established name among expatriate patients in the capital.
3. Lac Viet Intech Dental
Established in 2007, Lac Viet Intech runs multiple Hanoi branches — including on Phố Huế in Hai Bà Trưng and Láng in Đống Đa — plus a location in Hải Phòng, specialising in implants and orthodontics with a large domestic implant practice. International patients should confirm English-language support in advance.
4. Expat Dental Center
Based in the Ba Đình district near Kim Mã, Expat Dental Center is led by Dr. Du Van Lu and treats local and international patients, offering implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, gum care, root canal treatment and imaging.
5. Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic
Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic's founding dentists trained in Australia and the clinic follows ADA (Australian Dental Association) sterilisation protocols, with English-language services that make it popular among Australian and New Zealand expats.
6. Alisa Dental
Alisa Dental specialises in dental implants, including full-arch All-on-4 restorations, and positions itself toward international patients seeking implant-focused care in the capital.
7. Navii Dental Care
Located at 42 Cửa Đông, a short walk from Hoàn Kiếm Lake, Navii Dental Care markets itself around an English-speaking team spanning reception through to senior dentists, suited to visitors staying in the Old Quarter.
8. Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic
Established in 2008 on Trần Quang Diệu in Đống Đa district, Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic offers general and implant dentistry, with a location convenient for visitors staying south of the Old Quarter.
9. Minh Chau Dental Clinic
Established in 2014, Minh Chau Dental Clinic offers general and family dentistry to local and international visitors, with a team it describes as including dentists trained in Europe.
10. Global Dental Center
Global Dental Center sits close to Hoàn Kiếm Lake in central Hanoi, offering general and cosmetic dental treatments aimed at international travellers staying in the Old Quarter area.
How the top pick compares
Rather than rank the other clinics against one another on data we cannot verify, the most useful comparison is between our #1 pick and a typical well-run Hanoi clinic, so you know what "very good" looks like versus what tipped Picasso to the top.
| Factor | Picasso Dental (#1 pick) | Typical good clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Price transparency | Published per-tooth VND list | Often quote-on-request |
| Implant / material brands | Osstem→Straumann BLX; Zirconia→ORODENT | Usually 1–2 systems |
| Languages | English & Vietnamese | English support varies |
| Warranty | Specific per restoration (e.g. 5–10yr) | Often vague or unstated |
| Branches in Hanoi | 2 (Old Quarter & Westlake) | Usually one location |
None of this means the other clinics are poor — several have operated in Hanoi for well over a decade, and the right choice can come down to which part of the city suits your trip. It means that on the specific measures that de-risk dental work for someone flying in from abroad, Picasso is the one we are most comfortable pointing readers toward first.
Dental tourism in Vietnam: the numbers behind the trend
The shift toward treatment abroad is not anecdotal, and Hanoi, as one of the country's founding dental-tourism hubs, is central to it. A few figures help explain why:
- The global dental tourism market was valued in the billions of dollars and is projected to keep growing at double-digit annual rates through the early 2030s, according to market-research analyses from firms such as Grand View Research.
- Treatment abroad commonly costs 50–70% less than in Western countries for comparable work — a gap that is widest on high-ticket procedures such as implants and full-arch restoration (see our savings breakdown).
- Outcomes are strongly tied to the experience of the treating dentist, which is why we weigh documented clinical depth so heavily rather than price alone.
For an honest look at the risks as well as the savings, read what the data says about dental tourism safety and our guide to aftercare and guarantees when work goes wrong.
How to choose — and book
However you narrow the list, the same groundwork applies. Most international patients send their questions, recent photos or X-rays ahead of travel so the clinic can return an indicative plan and quote before dates are booked. Get the treating dentist and their experience, the brand and material proposed, the full cost, and the warranty and aftercare terms in writing — then check which part of Hanoi the clinic sits in against where you plan to stay.
If our reasoning makes sense and you would like to start with our top pick, here is how to reach Picasso Dental.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dental clinic in Hanoi?
On the evidence we weigh most heavily — English-speaking care, recognised implant and material brands, transparent pricing and clinical depth — Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick in Hanoi. It is the group's founding city, home to two branches, and the wider group has treated more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries since 2013. Its Head of Implantology has placed 15,000+ implants, and it is a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider with published VND prices. "Best" is partly personal and Hanoi has several genuinely capable clinics, but on those measures Picasso is where we point international patients first.
Where should I stay in Hanoi for dental treatment?
Most international visitors base themselves in or near the Old Quarter, Hanoi's most walkable and hotel-dense area, close to Picasso's flagship branch and several other clinics on this list. If you prefer a quieter, more residential setting, the West Lake (Tây Hồ) and Bắc Từ Liêm areas — home to Picasso's Westlake branch and Westcoast International — suit longer stays and easier parking. Either way, Hanoi is compact enough that most clinics are a short taxi or Grab ride from the centre.
How much do dental implants and Invisalign cost in Hanoi?
At Picasso Dental, a single implant combination (fixture, abutment and crown) ranges from 25,000,000 VND (roughly US$980 / A$1,490) with an Osstem system to 45,000,000 VND (roughly US$1,765 / A$2,680) with Straumann BLX. Invisalign runs from 35,000,000 to 150,000,000 VND depending on case complexity, plus an 8,000,000 VND ClinCheck planning fee. These are indicative figures; exact costs depend on your clinical needs, and currency conversions are approximate and fluctuate. Other Hanoi clinics' prices vary by materials and brand — always get a written quote.
Is dental treatment in Hanoi safe for foreign visitors?
Hanoi has a long-established base of clinics that treat foreign patients, from Picasso's own history as the group's founding city to long-running names such as Westcoast International and Lac Viet Intech. As anywhere, quality varies between clinics, so safety comes down largely to clinic selection. Look for a clinic that names the treating dentist and their experience, uses recognised brands you can look up, offers digital or conebeam CT planning, and puts your treatment plan and price in writing before you commit.
Do Hanoi dentists speak English?
Most clinics positioned toward international and expat patients — including every clinic on this list — offer English-speaking care. Picasso Dental works in English and Vietnamese only and has served patients from 62+ countries, so communication is routine rather than exceptional. It is still worth confirming with any clinic, before you fly, exactly who will handle your consultation and treatment in English.
How were these clinics chosen and ranked?
This is an editorial list, not a paid directory. We rank our #1 pick, Picasso Dental, on verifiable facts — surgeon volume, recognised brands, patient numbers, languages and published prices — because those are the things that separate a serious clinic from a glossy website. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Hanoi clinics that international patients may wish to research; they are listed in no strict order, and we describe them only with general, publicly available information such as founding year, area and services offered. We feature Picasso Dental's own pages on this site, so treat this as an interested recommendation and verify current details with any clinic directly before booking.
