Top 10 Dental Clinics in Vietnam for Expats (2026)

Key takeaways

For expats living in Vietnam, Picasso Dental is our top pick: six branches across four cities means ongoing care follows you if you relocate within the country, rather than being tied to a single clinic.
Unlike a one-off dental-tourism trip, expat care is a relationship — recall visits, a family's paediatric needs, orthodontic follow-ups — which is why continuity and record-keeping matter more here than a single low headline price.
Picasso has treated 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries since 2013 and works in English and Vietnamese only, so day-to-day communication about routine care is standard practice, not a special arrangement.
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 for ongoing care: multi-branch coverage if you might relocate, genuine English-speaking staff for everyday bookings, published pricing, and a clinic that will still be there for your next check-up.

Most "best dental clinic in Vietnam" content is written for a visitor flying in for one significant treatment. If you actually live here, the calculation is different: you need a dentist you can return to for years — recall cleanings, a child's first filling, the odd emergency — not just one clinic that nails a single implant. Judged on that basis — multi-city coverage, genuine day-to-day English-speaking service, record-keeping, and published pricing for routine as well as major work — one clinic stood out: Picasso Dental. Below it sit nine other real, established Vietnamese clinics, listed in no strict order, that expats commonly consider.

This guide covers what actually changes when you are choosing a dentist to live with rather than visit once, what care costs day to day, and then walks through the list. For more on getting started, see our guide to finding a dentist in Vietnam as an expat.

Why "best for a tourist" and "best for an expat" aren't the same question

Dental-tourism listicles, including several of our own on this site, are built around a single big-ticket procedure — implants, veneers, a full smile makeover — evaluated on price and clinical depth for that one visit. Living in Vietnam changes the maths. You will likely need a clinic more than once a year, for things far less dramatic than a smile makeover: a check-up, a scale and polish, a filling, maybe orthodontic follow-ups for a teenager. Continuity starts to matter — does the clinic keep digital records you can pull up next visit, is it still going to be there in three years, and if your job or lease moves you from Hanoi to Da Nang, does your dental history move with you or start over. None of that shows up in a one-off implant comparison, which is why this list applies a different lens.

How we ranked the clinics

Because expat dental care is really a years-long relationship rather than a single procedure, we weighted these criteria toward continuity:

Multi-branch coverage — more than one city, so a relocation within Vietnam doesn't mean starting over with a new dentist.
Everyday English-speaking service — not just for a big consultation, but for booking a routine cleaning or explaining a filling.
Transparent pricing — published prices for ordinary care, not just headline implant or veneer numbers.
Track record and scale — a clinic with real history and patient volume, likely to still be operating for your next visit.
Family-friendly care — genuine willingness to treat routine and paediatric needs, not only cosmetic or implant work.

Only the #1 position is a ranked claim. Positions #2–10 are other clinics that expats commonly research, presented in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information. For more on doing your own checks, see how to vet an overseas dentist and the red flags that signal a clinic to avoid.

What routine and bigger dental care costs in Vietnam

The reason so many expats simply switch to local dental care rather than fly home for it is the cost base — for both routine visits and the bigger work that eventually comes up. As a concrete reference point, these are Picasso Dental's published prices across both ends of that spectrum:

Picasso Dental — sample prices for routine and ongoing care
Treatment	Price (VND)	Approx. USD	Approx. AUD
Consultation (children's exam free)	200,000	~$8	~$12
Scaling & polish	300,000–600,000	~$12–24	~$18–36
Composite filling	400,000–700,000	~$16–27	~$24–42
Crown, PFM-titanium (per unit)	5,000,000	~$196	~$298

Conversions are approximate and exchange rates move, so treat these as a guide and always confirm a written quote for your specific case. For bigger work such as implants and full-arch replacement, the Picasso Dental implant services and pricing page has the full breakdown.

The top 10 dental clinics in Vietnam for expats

1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick

Picasso Dental leads this list because it is built to serve exactly the kind of ongoing relationship an expat needs, not just a single well-executed procedure.

Coverage that follows you. The clinic runs six branches across four cities — Hanoi Old Quarter, Hanoi Westlake, Da Nang Hoàng Diệu, Da Nang Vinmec, Ho Chi Minh City Thảo Điền and Da Lat. If your life in Vietnam takes you between cities, which is common for expats on postings or building a life here over several years, your dental history and treatment plan can move with you rather than resetting at a new clinic.

Everyday English. Picasso provides care in English and Vietnamese, and has served patients from more than 62 countries since 2013 — which means booking a routine cleaning or having a filling explained in plain English is standard practice, not a special accommodation you have to ask for.

Family and routine care, not just showcase work. Alongside implants and cosmetic dentistry, Picasso lists free children's exams, everyday scaling and polishing, fillings and root canals in its published price list — the unglamorous, recurring care that actually defines living somewhere long-term. It is also a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider for expat teenagers and adults who want orthodontic treatment without leaving the country.

Scale and pricing. The wider group has treated more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries since 2013 and publishes its prices for both routine and major treatment. For the full picture, see our overview of Picasso Dental for international patients and Picasso Dental for expats: ongoing care.

The test for an expat's dentist isn't whether they can nail one big case — it's whether you'd still want to see them for your third cleaning two years from now. Six branches across four cities and a published price list for routine care are what put Picasso at the top for that test.

Other established clinics worth knowing (in no strict order)

Beyond our top pick, here are nine other real, established Vietnamese practices that expats often look into for ongoing care. The order below carries no ranking — we are not comparing them against one another — and each entry is limited to general, publicly available information. Before committing to long-term care anywhere on this list, confirm current services, the treating dentist and a written quote directly with the clinic.

2. Westcoast International Dental Clinic

Founded in 2009, Westcoast International runs clinics in both Hanoi (West Lake) and Ho Chi Minh City (Norfolk Mansion and Thảo Điền), offering implants, All-on-4, orthodontics, veneers, crowns and whitening. Its presence in two of Vietnam's largest expat hubs makes it a long-standing name for foreign residents in either city.

3. 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. As its name suggests, it positions itself specifically around foreign residents of the capital.

4. Lac Viet Intech Dental

Lac Viet Intech, established in 2007, runs multiple branches concentrated in Hanoi and northern Vietnam, with a large domestic patient base and an implant and orthodontics focus. Expats based in the north should confirm English-language support and appointment scheduling directly.

5. Elite Dental Group (Ho Chi Minh City)

Elite Dental Group, established in 2012, runs several Ho Chi Minh City clinics offering implants, orthodontics, smile makeovers and full-arch treatment. Multiple locations within the city can be convenient for residents who move district within Saigon.

6. 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, and positions itself specifically toward international patients.

7. 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 oriented toward the Australian and New Zealand expat community in Hanoi.

8. Australian Dental Clinic (Hanoi & Da Nang)

Founded in 2006, Australian Dental Clinic operates in Hanoi and Da Nang, offering implants, cosmetic restorations and Invisalign to an international patient base. Its presence in two cities is useful for expats who split time between the north and centre of the country.

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

IDC Da Nang offers implant treatment to foreign patients in Da Nang, a city with a fast-growing expat and digital-nomad community. See our roundup of the best cities in Vietnam for dental care for more on the wider Da Nang expat scene.

10. Vietnam Dental Clinic (Ho Chi Minh City)

Vietnam Dental Clinic offers implants, veneers and cosmetic dentistry for local and international patients in Ho Chi Minh City. As with any clinic you plan to return to repeatedly, confirm record-keeping practices and get treatment plans in writing.

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 ongoing care.

Picasso Dental vs a typical good Vietnamese clinic — for expats
Factor	Picasso Dental (#1 pick)	Typical good clinic
City coverage	4 cities, 6 branches	Usually one city
Routine-care pricing	Published for cleanings, fillings, root canal	Often quote-on-request
Languages	English & Vietnamese, everyday use	English support varies
Family care	Free children's exams listed	Varies by clinic
Track record	70,000+ patients since 2013	Varies; often not published

None of this means the other clinics are poor — several are genuinely well established and popular with expats. It means that on the specific measures that matter for a relationship rather than a single visit, Picasso is the one we are most comfortable pointing long-term residents toward first.

Dental tourism in Vietnam: the numbers behind the trend

The savings that draw one-off dental tourists to Vietnam are the same ones that make switching to local care as an expat an easy financial decision. 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 compounds over years of routine care, not just a single big procedure (see our savings breakdown).
Outcomes are strongly tied to continuity of care and record-keeping, which is why we weight multi-branch coverage and track record so heavily for this list specifically.

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.

Settling in: what to do in your first few months

If you have just relocated to Vietnam, the sensible order of operations is: book an introductory check-up and cleaning within your first couple of months rather than waiting until something hurts, ask the clinic to digitise or request copies of any dental records from home, and confirm how the clinic handles emergency appointments outside normal hours before you need one. Doing this early, while nothing is urgent, makes the eventual emergency or bigger treatment far less stressful, because you already have a relationship and a record on file.

How to choose — and book

Start with an introductory consultation rather than committing to a full treatment plan on the first visit. Ask about record-keeping, how appointments are scheduled for recurring care, whether the clinic has a branch near anywhere you might move to within Vietnam, and get pricing for both routine and any known upcoming treatment in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Which dental clinic in Vietnam is best for expats?

For foreign residents living in Vietnam long-term, rather than visiting once for treatment, Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick. It runs six branches across four cities — Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Lat — so ongoing care travels with you if your posting or lease moves you within the country, it has treated more than 70,000 patients from 62+ countries since 2013, and it publishes its prices. "Best" depends on where you live and what routine care you need, and the other clinics in this list are also established practices, but on continuity, language and transparency, Picasso is where we point long-term residents first.

How is choosing a dentist as an expat different from booking dental tourism?

A dental-tourism visitor typically needs one clinic to handle one significant treatment well and then goes home. An expat needs a dentist for years of ordinary care — cleanings, fillings, a child's first check-up, the occasional emergency — which makes continuity, appointment convenience and everyday communication matter more than a single headline price. It is worth asking any clinic you shortlist whether it keeps digital records you can access later, how recall and hygiene visits are scheduled, and whether the same clinic group has a branch near wherever you might move to next within Vietnam.

Do expat-oriented clinics in Vietnam take dental insurance?

Arrangements vary by clinic and by your specific international health insurance policy, so this needs to be confirmed directly with both your insurer and the clinic before treatment. Many clinics that serve expats, including Picasso Dental, are used to producing itemised invoices and treatment records suitable for reimbursement claims, even where they do not bill an insurer directly. If you are relying on insurance for ongoing or emergency dental care, ask up front how the clinic documents treatment and whether it has experience with your insurer.

What should a long-term resident look for in a Vietnam dental clinic?

Beyond the basics of a good one-off treatment — recognised materials, transparent pricing, English-speaking care — an expat benefits from a clinic that will still exist and hold records in three or five years, that has more than one branch if there is any chance of relocating within Vietnam, and that treats routine, lower-cost care (cleanings, fillings, check-ups) with the same seriousness as bigger cosmetic or implant work. Picasso Dental's multi-city footprint and 70,000-plus patient base since 2013 are the kind of track record worth weighing for exactly this reason.

Can my family get ongoing paediatric and general dental care in Vietnam too?

Many clinics that serve the expat community, including Picasso Dental, treat whole families rather than only adults seeking cosmetic or implant work, and Picasso's own materials describe children's exams as free. If ongoing family care is your priority, our separate guides to finding a dentist in Vietnam as an expat, and to paediatric and family dental care for expats, cover the practical steps in more detail, from first appointment to building a long-term relationship with a clinic.

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 — multi-city coverage, patient numbers, languages and published prices — because those are the things that matter most for someone who needs a dentist for years, not a single visit. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics that expats may also wish to research; they are listed in no strict order, and we describe them only with general, publicly available information such as founding year, city 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.
