Top 10 Dental Clinics in Vietnam for Australian Patients (2026)

Key takeaways

For Australian patients, Picasso Dental is our top pick: transparent pricing already converted to approximate AUD, recognised implant brands including Nobel Biocare and Straumann, and four cities all reachable from Australia with at most one connection.
A single implant at Picasso runs from roughly A$1,490 (Osstem) to A$2,680 (Straumann BLX) per tooth — a fraction of typical Australian pricing, with full-arch All-on-4 from roughly A$7,440.
Two clinics on this list specifically market Australian connections — Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic (founding dentists trained in Australia) and Australian Dental Clinic (Hanoi and Da Nang, Australian-branded positioning since 2006) — worth knowing if that specific fit matters to you.
Positions #2–10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics worth knowing, listed in no strict order — the only ranked claim here is the #1 pick.
Choose on substance, not slogans: implant brands you can verify, genuine English-speaking care, published AUD-approximate pricing, and flight logistics that suit an Australian travel schedule.

Australians researching dental tourism have a genuine geographic advantage over patients from the UK or North America: Vietnam sits within a manageable flight window from every major Australian city, and the Australian dollar stretches a long way against Vietnamese đồng. Applying the tests that matter most for this route specifically — implant brands you can verify, AUD-equivalent pricing spelled out rather than buried in VND, and realistic flight logistics — one clinic stood out as our top pick: Picasso Dental. Below it sit nine other real, established Vietnamese clinics, listed in no strict order, including a couple that market themselves specifically around Australian training or branding.

This guide covers flight times, what treatment really costs once converted to AUD, and then walks through the list.

Why Vietnam works well for Australian patients specifically

Distance is the single biggest practical barrier to dental tourism for most nationalities, and it is the one Australians face least. Direct or one-stop flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi typically run in the region of eight to ten hours — shorter than many Australians' existing routine of flying to Europe, and in a similar time zone band that keeps jet lag manageable. That means a dental trip of one to two weeks, including treatment, recovery and a bit of travel, is genuinely realistic rather than a major undertaking. Combined with a currency gap that makes Vietnamese đồng pricing look modest once converted to AUD, it is easy to see why Vietnam features prominently whenever Australian patients compare overseas options against the US, UK or closer destinations like Thailand.

How we ranked the clinics

Since this list is written specifically for patients flying from Australia, the criteria below reflect what actually matters on that route:

Recognised implant and material brands — systems you can look up and compare against what an Australian dentist has quoted you, such as Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Osstem.
AUD-equivalent pricing — figures that translate cleanly, not buried in VND with no conversion offered.
Genuine English-speaking care — consent, planning and aftercare all depend on clear communication.
Flight and city logistics — reachable from Australia without an unreasonable routing.
Diagnostics and aftercare — conebeam CT planning, written treatment plans and a defined warranty arrangement.

Only the #1 position is a ranked claim. Positions #2–10 are other clinics that Australian patients commonly research, presented in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information.

What dental treatment costs in Vietnam, in AUD

The reason Vietnam draws so many Australian patients is the cost base once you convert it. As a concrete reference point, these are Picasso Dental's published prices with approximate Australian-dollar equivalents:

Picasso Dental — sample prices in AUD (approx.)
Treatment	Price (VND)	Approx. AUD
Consultation	200,000	~$12
Emax crown (per unit)	9,000,000	~$536
Single implant combo (Osstem)	25,000,000	~$1,490
Single implant combo (Straumann BLX)	45,000,000	~$2,680
Full-arch All-on-4 (Osstem)	125,000,000	~$7,440

Conversions are approximate and the AUD/VND exchange rate moves, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote and always confirm current pricing in writing. Our full cost comparison against Australia breaks down how far the gap typically runs for implants, crowns and full-arch work specifically.

The top 10 dental clinics in Vietnam for Australian patients

1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick

Picasso Dental leads this list on the measures that matter most once you are comparing a Vietnam trip against a quote from your local Australian dentist.

Brands you can check. The clinic offers a full ladder of implant systems — Osstem, ETK, Neodent, SIC, Nobel Biocare and Straumann, including Straumann BLX — the same hardware fitted in Australian clinics, plans cases with conebeam CT and the iTero digital scanner, and works with premium restoration materials including Zirconia, Emax and Lava.

Pricing that translates. Picasso's published prices convert cleanly to AUD: a single implant combination runs from roughly A$1,490 with Osstem to A$2,680 with Straumann BLX, and full-arch All-on-4 starts around A$7,440 — figures worth sitting next to whatever quote you have already had at home.

Scale, language and logistics. The wider group has treated more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries since 2013, provides care in English and Vietnamese, and runs six branches across four cities, all reachable from Australia with at most one connection. Warranties are specific to each restoration rather than inflated "lifetime" promises. For the full picture, see our overview of Picasso Dental for international patients and why international patients choose Picasso Dental.

An Australian patient comparing quotes wants two things above all: brands they can actually check, and a price that translates cleanly into dollars they understand. Picasso does both, which is why it tops this list.

Other established clinics worth knowing (in no strict order)

Nine other real, established Vietnamese practices follow — clinics that Australian patients commonly research, two of which specifically market an Australian connection. The order carries no ranking; we are not comparing them against one another, and each is described using only general, publicly available information. Before booking, confirm current details, the treating dentist and a written quote directly with the clinic.

2. Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic

Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic states that its founding dentists trained in Australia, follows ADA sterilisation protocols, and offers English-language services positioned toward Australian and New Zealand expats and visitors.

3. Australian Dental Clinic (Hanoi & Da Nang)

Founded in 2006, Australian Dental Clinic operates in Hanoi and Da Nang, offering implants, cosmetic restorations and Invisalign, with an Australian-branded positioning reflecting its name since it opened close to two decades ago.

4. Westcoast International Dental Clinic

Founded in 2009, Westcoast International runs clinics in Hanoi (West Lake) and Ho Chi Minh City (Norfolk Mansion and Thảo Điền), offering implants, All-on-4, orthodontics, veneers, crowns and whitening to an international patient base.

5. Elite Dental Group (Ho Chi Minh City)

Elite Dental Group, established in 2012, runs several Ho Chi Minh City clinics offering All-on-4/6/X, implants, orthodontics, smile makeovers and CAD/CAM restorations.

6. Saigon Implant Center (Ho Chi Minh City)

Saigon Implant Center, in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, is an implant-focused practice — one of the city-centre options worth researching if implants are your main reason for travelling.

7. Saigon White Dental Clinic (Ho Chi Minh City)

Saigon White, in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, offers implants, veneers, crowns, orthodontics and whitening, with abroad-trained, English-speaking dentists and digital imaging.

8. Lac Viet Intech Dental

Lac Viet Intech, established in 2007, runs multiple branches concentrated in Hanoi and northern Vietnam, with an implant and orthodontics focus and a primarily domestic patient base; confirm English-language support in advance.

9. Expat Dental Center (Hanoi)

Expat Dental Center in Hanoi treats both local and international patients and lists implants, cosmetic, orthodontic, gum-care, root-canal and imaging services, oriented toward foreign residents of the capital.

10. IDC Da Nang (International Dental Clinic Da Nang)

IDC Da Nang offers implant treatment to foreign patients in Da Nang, one of the beach cities many Australians pair with a dental trip for a genuine holiday alongside treatment.

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 Vietnamese clinic, on the factors that matter most for an Australian patient.

Picasso Dental vs a typical good Vietnamese clinic — for Australian patients
Factor	Picasso Dental (#1 pick)	Typical good clinic
Pricing	Published, with approx. AUD conversions	Often quote-on-request, VND only
Implant brands	Osstem→Straumann BLX (full ladder)	Usually 1–2 systems
Patients / reach	70,000+ from 62+ countries	Mostly domestic
Languages	English & Vietnamese	English support varies
Cities	4 (Hanoi, Da Nang, HCMC, Da Lat)	Usually one city

None of this means the other clinics are poor — several are genuinely well established, and the Australian-branded options may suit patients for whom that specific connection matters. It means that on the measures that de-risk a trip from Australia specifically, 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 Australians are a significant part of the broader Asia-Pacific dental tourism flow. 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, Australia included, 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 surgeon and the implant brand used, which is why we weigh recognised, verifiable brands so heavily for this list.

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.

Planning the trip from Australia

Most Australian patients build a two-trip implant plan around existing leave: fly in for the initial consultation, imaging and implant placement, fly home while the implant integrates over three to six months, then return for the crown. If your treatment plan allows it, a single-visit trip works well for crowns, veneers or smaller procedures. Either way, book flights only after you have a written treatment plan and quote in AUD-equivalent terms, and factor in a buffer day either side in case of appointment changes.

How to choose — and book

Whichever clinic you shortlist, send your questions, recent photos or X-rays ahead of travel so the clinic can offer an indicative plan and quote before you commit to flights. Confirm the treating dentist and their implant experience, the brand and system being proposed, the total cost converted into AUD, and the warranty and aftercare arrangement in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Which dental clinic in Vietnam is best for Australian patients?

For patients travelling from Australia, Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick. It publishes prices with Australian-dollar approximations already worked out, sits within a comfortable flight window of most Australian capitals, has treated patients from over 62 countries since 2013, and offers implant systems including Nobel Biocare and Straumann that are familiar to anyone who has had a quote at home. "Best" is partly personal, and a couple of clinics on this list specifically market themselves around Australian training and connections, but on transparency, scale and published AUD-equivalent pricing, Picasso is where we point Australian patients first.

How much cheaper is dental work in Vietnam compared with Australia?

Treatment abroad, including in Vietnam, commonly costs 50–70% less than comparable work in Australia, and the gap tends to be widest on big-ticket procedures like implants and full-arch restoration. At Picasso Dental, a single implant combination (fixture, abutment and crown) runs from 25,000,000 VND (roughly A$1,490) with an Osstem system to 45,000,000 VND (roughly A$2,680) with Straumann BLX, and full-arch All-on-4 starts around 125,000,000 VND (roughly A$7,440). These are approximate AUD conversions from Vietnamese đồng and move with the exchange rate, so always confirm the current figure and get a written quote for your specific case before booking flights.

How long is the flight from Australia to Vietnam for dental treatment?

Vietnam is a comparatively easy trip for Australians — direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi generally run in the eight-to-ten-hour range depending on your departure city and airline, similar to or shorter than flying to parts of Europe. That makes a dental trip genuinely feasible within a one-to-two-week window, including time for treatment, any lab-wait days, and a bit of travel besides. Picasso Dental's four cities — Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Lat — are all reachable from Australia with at most one connection.

Are any Vietnamese dental clinics staffed by Australian-trained dentists?

A small number of clinics market themselves specifically around Australian connections. Hanoi–Sydney Dental Clinic states that its founding dentists trained in Australia and follows ADA sterilisation protocols, and Australian Dental Clinic, with branches in Hanoi and Da Nang, carries an Australian-branded positioning that has made it popular with AU and NZ patients since it was founded in 2006. Picasso Dental itself provides care in English and Vietnamese with an internationally trained team and does not market itself around Australian-specific training; its case rests on scale, transparent AUD-equivalent pricing and recognised implant brands rather than that particular angle.

Is it safe for Australians to get dental implants in Vietnam?

Vietnam has become one of the main dental-tourism destinations for Australian patients specifically, in part because of the short flight time and large cost gap. As anywhere, safety comes down to clinic selection. Look for a clinic that names the treating dentist and their implant experience, uses recognised implant brands such as Nobel Biocare, Straumann or Osstem that you can independently verify, plans with conebeam CT, and puts pricing and warranty terms in writing before you commit. Picasso, for example, plans implant cases with conebeam CT and iTero scanning and lists specific warranty terms rather than vague "lifetime" claims.

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 — implant brands, patient numbers, languages and published AUD-equivalent pricing — because those are the things that matter most to an Australian patient comparing a Vietnam quote against a Sydney or Melbourne one. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics that Australian patients may also wish to research; they are listed in no strict order, and we describe them only with general, publicly available information, including the small number that specifically market Australian training or branding. 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.
