Top 10 Dental Clinics in Vietnam for Root Canal Treatment (2026)

Key takeaways

For root canal treatment, Picasso Dental is our top pick in Vietnam: pricing is published per tooth, from 2,500,000 VND for an incisor to 5,000,000 VND for a molar, with imaging (OPG or conebeam CT) built into the diagnostic process.
Root canal is not an elective, holiday-friendly procedure — it treats infection or severe decay inside a tooth, so clinic selection matters for infection control and follow-up as much as price.
Positions #2–10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics that offer general and restorative dentistry, listed in no strict order — the only ranked claim here is the #1 pick.
A tooth typically needs a crown after root canal to protect it long-term; ask for that combined cost up front rather than being quoted the root canal alone.
Choose on diagnostic imaging, a dentist who explains the number of canals and visits involved, and transparent pricing — not on same-day promises for a tooth that is actively infected.

Root canal treatment is a different kind of dental-tourism decision than a veneer or a whitening session. It is not elective — it treats a tooth with infected or badly damaged pulp, and delaying it usually makes things worse, not better. So while the savings that draw people to Vietnam for dentistry still apply, the more important question for root canal is which clinic can diagnose the tooth properly, explain what your specific case needs, and follow through with a crown if one is required. Weighing the field on those terms, our top pick is Picasso Dental, followed by nine other real, established Vietnamese clinics, listed in no strict order.

This guide covers what root canal treatment actually involves, what it costs in Vietnam, and the questions worth asking before you commit, and then walks through the list. For the wider safety picture on treating urgent dental problems abroad, see our guide to root canal treatment abroad: safety and cost.

How we ranked the clinics

Because root canal treats an active problem rather than a cosmetic preference, we leaned our criteria toward diagnosis and follow-through rather than marketing:

Diagnostic imaging — an X-ray or conebeam CT scan before treatment, so the number and shape of canals is actually known, not guessed.
Clear case-specific communication — a dentist who explains what your tooth needs and how many visits it will take.
Restorative follow-through — the ability to fit a crown afterward, in-house, if your tooth needs one.
Genuine English-speaking care — important for any procedure, more so when infection and pain are involved.
Transparent, per-tooth pricing — published rates you can review before booking, including the likely crown cost.

Only the #1 position reflects a ranking; positions #2–10 are other general and restorative practices worth knowing about, sequenced arbitrarily and summarised strictly from general, publicly available information. See how to vet an overseas dentist for more on doing your own checks.

What root canal treatment costs in Vietnam

Root canal pricing depends on which tooth is affected, since molars have more canals and take longer to treat than incisors. As a concrete reference point, these are Picasso Dental's published prices:

Picasso Dental — root canal and related prices
Item	Price (VND)	Approx. USD	Approx. AUD
Root canal — incisor	2,500,000	~$98	~$149
Root canal — molar	5,000,000	~$196	~$298
Conebeam CT (diagnostic)	600,000	~$24	~$36
Crown, Zirconia (per unit, often needed after)	7,000,000	~$275	~$417

Conversions are approximate and exchange rates move; the crown price is shown separately because it is a distinct, often necessary, follow-on cost — ask for the combined total in writing rather than assuming it is included. For the wider restorative price list, see the Picasso Dental services and pricing page, and for how prices abroad compare with home, our cost comparison against the US, UK and Australia covers restorative work too.

The top 10 clinics for root canal treatment in Vietnam

1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick

Picasso leads this list because root canal treatment there starts with proper diagnosis, not a quick quote. Cases are assessed with panoramic X-ray (OPG) and, where needed, conebeam CT imaging, so the dentist knows the number and shape of canals before starting. Per-tooth pricing is published — 2,500,000 VND for an incisor up to 5,000,000 VND for a molar — and the clinic also fits crowns in-house afterward when a tooth needs one, using its published per-unit crown pricing.

Follow-through and access. Because Picasso operates six branches across four cities, patients who start treatment at one location can more easily complete a multi-visit root canal or return for a crown fitting during a longer stay. With 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries, English-speaking care, and warranties specific to each restoration rather than vague promises, the practical logistics of finishing treatment properly are well supported. See the Picasso Dental services and pricing page.

An infected tooth is not the place to gamble on a same-day discount clinic. Proper imaging, a dentist who explains your specific case, and the ability to fit a crown afterward are why Picasso leads this list.

Other established clinics for root canal treatment (in no strict order)

The clinics below are real, established practices offering general and restorative dentistry, which typically includes root canal treatment. Their sequence below is arbitrary rather than a ranking against each other, and what we say about them is limited to general, publicly available information. Confirm imaging capability, the treating dentist and a written quote directly with any clinic before booking.

2. Expat Dental Center (Hanoi)

Hanoi's Expat Dental Center explicitly lists root canal treatment among its services for local and international patients, alongside imaging, gum care and cosmetic dentistry — a directly relevant option for expatriate residents in the capital.

3. Westcoast International Dental Clinic (Hanoi & HCMC)

Founded in 2009, Westcoast International offers general and restorative services alongside implants, orthodontics and cosmetic work across its Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City locations. Confirm imaging capability and current pricing for root canal treatment.

4. Elite Dental Group (Ho Chi Minh City)

Elite Dental, established in 2012, runs several Ho Chi Minh City clinics offering restorative care alongside implants, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry, using CAD/CAM and 3D imaging. Ask specifically about its root canal and endodontic capability.

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

Saigon White, in District 3, offers crowns and general restorative dentistry alongside its cosmetic services, with digital imaging and abroad-trained, English-speaking dentists.

6. Australian Dental Clinic (Hanoi & Da Nang)

Founded in 2006 with branches in Hanoi and Da Nang, Australian Dental Clinic offers general and cosmetic restorative care to an international patient base; confirm current root canal pricing and imaging directly.

7. Vietnam Dental Clinic (Ho Chi Minh City)

Vietnam Dental Clinic offers restorative and cosmetic dentistry to local and international patients in Ho Chi Minh City. Confirm the treating dentist's experience with endodontic (root canal) cases specifically.

8. Lac Viet Intech Dental (Hanoi & north)

Lac Viet Intech, established in 2007, is best known for implants and orthodontics but operates as a general Vietnamese dental group across multiple branches; international patients should confirm English-language support for restorative visits.

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

IDC Da Nang serves foreign patients in Da Nang; if root canal treatment is needed alongside implant work, confirm its current general and restorative capability directly. See our best cities in Vietnam for dental care.

10. Nha Khoa Dana (Dana Dental, Da Nang)

Another Da Nang practice serving international patients alongside its implant services. Confirm English-language support, imaging capability and pricing for root canal treatment before booking.

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 root canal work.

Picasso Dental vs a typical good Vietnamese clinic — root canal
Factor	Picasso Dental (#1 pick)	Typical good clinic
Diagnostic imaging	OPG X-ray + conebeam CT	X-ray common; CT varies
In-house crown follow-up	Yes, published per-unit pricing	Usually available
Locations	6 branches, 4 cities	Usually one city
Languages	English & Vietnamese	English support varies
Pricing	Published per-tooth VND	Often quote-on-request

None of this means the other clinics do poor endodontic work — root canal is a routine procedure most established clinics handle competently. It means that on diagnostic imaging, transparent pricing and the ability to complete a crown follow-up in the same group, Picasso is the one we are most comfortable pointing readers toward first.

Root canal treatment abroad: the numbers behind the trend

Restorative work like root canal treatment is a less headline-grabbing part of dental tourism than implants or veneers, but the same economics apply:

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, and restorative procedures such as root canal and crowns are frequently combined into the same trip as cosmetic or implant treatment (see our savings breakdown).
Root canal treatment has high success rates in the clinical literature when performed with proper diagnosis and technique, which is why imaging and a clear explanation of your specific tooth matter more than headline price.

For the honest trade-offs of treatment abroad, read what the data says about dental tourism safety and aftercare and guarantees when work goes wrong.

How to choose — and book

If you are in pain or know you have an infected tooth, do not delay treatment to shop around extensively — get it assessed promptly, whether at home or once you arrive. If you are planning ahead, send any existing X-rays to a shortlist of clinics, ask what imaging they will do before treatment, how many visits your case is likely to need, and get the root canal and any likely crown cost quoted together in writing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best dental clinic in Vietnam for root canal treatment?

For root canal treatment, Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick in Vietnam. It publishes per-tooth pricing, uses panoramic X-ray and conebeam CT imaging to diagnose and plan the treatment, and provides care in English and Vietnamese across six branches. Because root canal deals with an actively infected or damaged tooth rather than an elective cosmetic choice, we weighed diagnostic imaging and clear communication about the number of canals and visits more heavily than price alone. Other clinics in this list also offer root canal treatment; Picasso is where we point patients first.

How much does a root canal cost in Vietnam?

At Picasso Dental, root canal treatment is priced per tooth: 2,500,000 VND (roughly US$98 / A$149) for a front incisor, rising to 5,000,000 VND (roughly US$196 / A$298) for a molar, which has more canals and is more complex to treat. These are indicative figures in Vietnamese đồng; US and Australian dollar conversions are approximate and fluctuate with exchange rates. A crown is usually recommended afterward to protect the tooth, which is a separate cost — ask for the combined total in writing before you commit.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Often, yes, particularly on back teeth that bear heavy chewing load. A root-canal-treated tooth loses some of its structural strength and blood supply, so a crown protects it from cracking under normal biting force. Front teeth sometimes only need a filling if enough natural tooth structure remains, but a molar or premolar usually benefits from a crown. Ask your dentist to assess this at the same visit as the root canal and quote the crown separately, using per-unit crown prices such as those on Picasso Dental's published list, so you are not surprised by a second bill later.

How many visits does a root canal in Vietnam take?

It depends on the tooth and the severity of infection, but many straightforward cases are completed in one to two visits: cleaning and shaping the canal, then sealing it, sometimes with a temporary filling in between if the tooth needs time to settle. A crown, if needed, is typically a separate visit afterward once the tooth has been assessed as stable. If you are travelling specifically for treatment, ask the clinic upfront how many visits your case is likely to need so you can plan your trip length accordingly.

Is it safe to get a root canal done abroad?

Root canal treatment is a routine, well-established procedure performed daily in reputable clinics worldwide, including Vietnam, and the core techniques do not differ by country. What matters is the individual clinic: proper diagnostic imaging (an X-ray or conebeam CT scan) before treatment, sterile technique, a dentist who explains the number of canals involved for your specific tooth, and a plan for follow-up if a crown is needed. If a tooth is acutely infected or you are in significant pain, treating it promptly — rather than delaying for a cheaper trip later — is generally the more sensible priority.

How were these clinics chosen and ranked?

This is an editorial list, not a paid directory. Our #1 pick, Picasso Dental, is ranked on verifiable facts — published per-tooth pricing, diagnostic imaging capability, and English-speaking care — because those are what matter for a procedure that treats active infection or decay rather than an elective choice. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics offering general and restorative dentistry; they are listed in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information, not ranked against one another. We feature Picasso Dental's own pages on this site, so treat this as an interested recommendation and verify details with any clinic directly before booking.
