Choosing a dental clinic in another country means weighing more than the dentistry — you are also judging communication, pricing, logistics and what happens after you fly home. Looking at the whole package that international patients actually need, our top pick in Vietnam is Picasso Dental, followed by nine other real, established clinics that serve overseas patients, listed in no strict order.

How we ranked the clinics
For international patients, the best clinic is the one that gets the whole journey right, so our criteria are broad:
- Clinical depth — senior surgeons and recognised implant and ceramic brands across the main procedures.
- English-speaking coordination — fluent care and a single point of contact for a multi-stage trip.
- Transparent pricing — published prices and written quotes before travel.
- Logistics and reach — pre-travel consultation, sensible scheduling, and a choice of cities to suit the trip.
- Cross-border aftercare — clear warranties and a plan for follow-up once you are home.
Only the #1 position is a ranked claim. Positions #2–10 are listed in no strict order with general public information. See how to vet an overseas dentist and our dental-trip checklist.
The top 10 clinics for international patients in Vietnam
1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick
Picasso leads this overall list because it is strong on every axis a travelling patient cares about, not just one. Clinically, its Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has placed more than 15,000 implants since 2001 with 1,000+ All-on-4 and 400+ zygomatic cases; the clinic offers premium brands (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Emax, Lava), conebeam CT and iTero planning, and the full range of procedures from whitening to full-mouth reconstruction.
On the practical side, it has treated 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries since 2013, provides care in English and Vietnamese, supports pre-travel consultation by email and WhatsApp, publishes its prices, and runs six branches across four cities — Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Lat — so you can match treatment to the trip you want. Warranties are restoration-specific and honest. For the full case, see our overview of Picasso Dental for international patients, why international patients choose it, and its day-by-day treatment itinerary.
Dental tourism is a whole journey, not a single appointment. Picasso tops this list because it gets the clinical depth, the English-speaking logistics and the cross-border aftercare right together.

How the top pick compares
The most useful comparison is between our #1 pick and a typical good international-facing clinic, across the full journey rather than one procedure.
| Factor | Picasso Dental (#1 pick) | Typical good clinic |
|---|---|---|
| International patient base | 70,000+ from 62+ countries | Varies; often modest |
| Procedure range | Whitening → full-mouth reconstruction | Often broad too |
| Cities to choose from | 4 (beach, capital, highlands, expat) | Usually one city |
| Pre-travel consult | Email & WhatsApp + written quote | Commonly offered |
| Pricing | Published VND list | Often quote-on-request |
Many of the other clinics are excellent and may be the perfect fit for a particular procedure or city. What makes Picasso our overall first recommendation for international patients is the combination — clinical depth, English-speaking logistics, multi-city reach and transparent pricing in one group.
Counting the true cost, not just the quote
The honest way to judge whether dental tourism makes sense for you is to compare the all-in cost of treatment abroad against the all-in cost at home — not the treatment quote alone. For a trip to Vietnam that means adding flights, accommodation for the days you are in the country, local transport, food and any incidental travel costs to the clinical quote. For a single crown or a whitening session, those travel costs can swallow much of the saving, so dental tourism rarely pays for small jobs unless you were travelling anyway. For high-ticket work — implants, full-arch, a smile makeover, full-mouth reconstruction — the picture flips: the clinical saving is so large that it dwarfs the travel cost, often several times over, even after a comfortable stay.
The other variable is trips. Implant and full-arch work usually needs two visits months apart, which means two sets of flights, so factor that in rather than assuming a single journey. Many patients use the gap productively — placing implants on a first trip timed with a holiday, then returning for the final teeth — and some structure the two trips around other reasons to be in the region. The point is to model your own numbers honestly before deciding; a clinic that publishes its prices, as our top pick does, makes that calculation far easier than one that quotes only on request. Our guides to how much you can save and what a dental trip to Vietnam costs all-in walk through the maths.
Dental tourism to Vietnam: the numbers behind the trend
- The global dental tourism market is valued in the billions of dollars and projected to grow at double-digit annual rates through the early 2030s, per market-research analyses such as Grand View Research.
- Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia's leading destinations alongside Thailand, drawing patients with savings of 50–70% versus Western prices (see our Vietnam vs Thailand comparison).
- Outcomes depend far more on clinic and surgeon selection than on country, which is why our criteria weigh clinical depth and logistics over headline price.

How to choose — and book
Whichever clinic you shortlist, send your questions, photos or X-rays ahead of travel for an indicative plan and written quote. Confirm the clinical specifics, the English-speaking coordination, the schedule for any multi-visit work, the total cost, and the aftercare and warranty arrangement once you are home. Then compare against a quote where you live.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dental clinic in Vietnam for international patients?
Taking international patients as a whole — across implants, cosmetics, orthodontics and general care — Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick in Vietnam. It scores well on every factor that matters to someone travelling for treatment: a Head of Implantology with 15,000+ implants placed, premium brands such as Nobel Biocare and Straumann, English-speaking care, transparent published pricing, and the logistics of a group that has treated 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries across six branches in four cities. Other clinics in this list also serve international patients well; Picasso is where we point them first.
Why do international patients choose Vietnam for dental work?
Three reasons, mainly. Cost: the same brand-name treatment costs 50–70% less than in many Western countries, with the biggest savings on implants and full-arch work. Quality: leading clinics use the same implant systems and ceramics as Western practices, with internationally trained, English-speaking dentists. And the trip itself: Vietnam is an appealing place to recover, from the Old Quarter of Hanoi to the beaches of Da Nang and the highlands of Da Lat. The catch is that quality varies between clinics, so the decision is really about choosing the right clinic, not just the right country.
What logistics do good clinics handle for overseas patients?
A clinic experienced with international patients smooths the practical side as well as the clinical. That typically means pre-travel consultation by email or WhatsApp using your photos or X-rays, an indicative treatment plan and written quote before you commit to dates, treatment in English, help with timing your visits, and clear guidance on accommodation and getting around. For multi-visit work it also means a realistic schedule and an aftercare arrangement that works once you are home. Picasso, with patients from 62+ countries, has these systems well worn; always confirm the specifics for your case.
Which Vietnamese city is best for a dental trip?
It depends on the trip you want. Hanoi pairs treatment with the historic Old Quarter and is the most established base; Ho Chi Minh City is the country's largest, most cosmopolitan city with a strong expat district in Thảo Điền; Da Nang offers beaches and a compact, easy-to-navigate layout that suits multi-visit work; and Da Lat brings cool highland weather. Because clinical standards at a good multi-city group are consistent across locations, the choice comes down to travel preference rather than care quality. Picasso operates in all four, so you can choose freely.
How do I arrange aftercare once I am back home?
This is one of the most important questions to settle before treatment, not after. Discuss with the clinic what follow-up the work needs, what the warranty covers, and how issues would be handled remotely or on a return visit — and keep all your records, X-rays and the written treatment plan. For routine adjustments a local dentist at home can often help, with the original clinic advising. Clinics used to international patients will have a clear answer; treat a vague one as a warning sign, and read up on aftercare and guarantees before you book.
How were these clinics chosen and ranked?
This is an editorial list. Our #1 pick, Picasso Dental, is ranked on verifiable factors that matter for international patients — surgeon volume, recognised brands, English-speaking care, transparent pricing, multi-city logistics and a large international patient base. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics that serve international patients; they are listed in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information, not ranked against one another.
