Key takeaways
- For wisdom tooth removal and oral surgery, Picasso Dental is our top pick in Vietnam: extraction pricing is published and ranges 2,000,000–6,000,000 VND depending on the tooth's position and difficulty, with conebeam CT used to assess impacted or angled teeth beforehand.
- Simple extractions of erupted teeth cost far less than surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, so the honest price range is wide until a dentist has actually seen your X-ray.
- Positions #2–10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics with implant and surgical experience, listed in no strict order — the only ranked claim here is the #1 pick.
- Because recovery from surgical extraction can take several days, plan a few extra days in Vietnam rather than flying out the same afternoon.
- Choose on imaging and a dentist who explains your tooth's specific position, not on same-day promises for a tooth that may need genuine oral surgery.
"Wisdom tooth removal" covers two very different procedures under one name: a quick extraction of a fully erupted tooth, and genuine oral surgery on a tooth that is impacted, angled or buried in bone. Any list that quotes one flat price for both is glossing over the part that actually matters — whether the clinic properly images your tooth before deciding which one you need. Weighing the field on that basis, our top pick for international patients is Picasso Dental, followed by nine other real, established Vietnamese clinics, listed in no strict order.
This guide covers what determines whether your case is simple or surgical, what it costs in Vietnam, and how to plan recovery around travel, before walking through the list. For more on doing this procedure while travelling, see our guide to wisdom tooth extraction abroad.
How we ranked the clinics
Wisdom teeth are unpredictable — some slide through cleanly, others need real surgery — so we weighted the ranking criteria toward diagnostic imaging and surgical skill rather than marketing:
- Pre-treatment imaging — an X-ray or conebeam CT scan that actually shows how the tooth sits before anyone commits to a procedure.
- Surgical capability — experience with impacted extractions, not just erupted teeth.
- Clear, case-specific communication — a dentist who explains what your particular tooth needs and what recovery will involve.
- Genuine English-speaking care — especially important when consent for a surgical procedure is involved.
- Transparent pricing and aftercare plan — a published range, and a clear way to reach the clinic if something feels wrong afterward.
Only the #1 position is an actual ranking; positions #2–10 are other clinics with relevant implant and surgical experience, in an order that carries no significance, described using nothing more than general, publicly available information.

What wisdom tooth removal costs in Vietnam
Because difficulty varies so much by tooth position, pricing is naturally a range rather than a single figure. As a concrete reference point, these are Picasso Dental's published prices:
| Item | Price (VND) | Approx. USD | Approx. AUD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wisdom tooth extraction (range) | 2,000,000–6,000,000 | ~$78–235 | ~$119–357 |
| Standard permanent extraction | 1,000,000–2,000,000 | ~$39–78 | ~$60–119 |
| Conebeam CT (diagnostic) | 600,000 | ~$24 | ~$36 |
| Panoramic X-ray (OPG) | 300,000 | ~$12 | ~$18 |
Conversions are approximate and exchange rates move; where your tooth falls in the extraction range depends on whether it has erupted or is impacted, which only imaging can confirm. See the Picasso Dental services and pricing page for the wider price list, and our cost breakdown versus local care for how these figures compare with home.
The top 10 clinics for wisdom tooth removal & oral surgery in Vietnam
1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick
Picasso leads this list because it treats wisdom tooth removal as a diagnosis-first procedure rather than a fixed-price commodity. Every case is assessed with panoramic X-ray and, where the tooth's position warrants it, conebeam CT imaging, so the dentist knows before treatment whether you need a simple extraction or surgical removal of an impacted tooth. Pricing is published as a range — 2,000,000 to 6,000,000 VND — that reflects this genuine variation in difficulty rather than a single number that hides it.
Surgical depth. The clinic's broader surgical experience runs deep: its Head of Implantology and team routinely perform bone grafting, sinus augmentation and even zygomatic implant placement, all more technically demanding than a wisdom tooth extraction, which is a reasonable proxy for oral surgical capability generally. With six branches across four cities, 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries, and English-speaking care, the clinic is also easy to reach again if you need a follow-up check during your stay. See the Picasso Dental services and pricing page.
A wisdom tooth is either a five-minute pull or minor surgery, and you cannot tell which from a price list — only from an X-ray. Picasso images before it quotes, which is why it leads this list.
Other established clinics for extractions & oral surgery (in no strict order)
The clinics below are real, established practices with implant and general surgical experience, which typically extends to wisdom tooth removal. The order below is not a ranking of one against another; each entry rests on general information available publicly, nothing more. Confirm imaging capability, surgical experience and a written quote directly with any clinic before booking.
2. Saigon Implant Center (Ho Chi Minh City)
An implant-focused practice in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Implant Center's surgical implant experience is relevant background for extraction cases; confirm its wisdom tooth and general oral surgery capability directly.
3. Westcoast International Dental Clinic (Hanoi & HCMC)
Founded in 2009, Westcoast International offers implants and All-on-4 surgery alongside general dentistry across its Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City locations — surgical capability that extends naturally to wisdom tooth removal.
4. Elite Dental Group (Ho Chi Minh City)
Elite Dental, established in 2012, runs several Ho Chi Minh City clinics with implant and full-arch surgical experience, using 3D imaging for planning. Ask specifically about wisdom tooth and impacted-tooth cases.
5. Lac Viet Intech Dental (Hanoi & north)
Lac Viet Intech, established in 2007, has a large domestic implant caseload and multiple branches in Hanoi and northern Vietnam, indicating routine surgical experience; confirm English-language support for extraction visits.
6. Australian Dental Clinic (Hanoi & Da Nang)

8. IDC Da Nang (International Dental Clinic Da Nang)
IDC Da Nang offers implant surgery to foreign patients in Da Nang; if you are combining a wisdom tooth extraction with an implant consultation, confirm its current general surgical capability. See our best cities in Vietnam for dental care.

Another Da Nang practice with implant surgical experience serving international patients. Confirm English-language support and imaging capability for extraction cases before booking.
10. Expat Dental Center (Hanoi)
Hanoi's Expat Dental Center lists implant, gum-care and root-canal services alongside general dentistry for local and international patients — a broad enough service list to warrant asking about wisdom tooth removal directly.
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 extractions and oral surgery.
| Factor | Picasso Dental (#1 pick) | Typical good clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-treatment imaging | OPG X-ray + conebeam CT | X-ray common; CT varies |
| Advanced surgical experience | Zygomatic implants, sinus lifts, grafting | Varies by clinic |
| Locations | 6 branches, 4 cities | Usually one city |
| Languages | English & Vietnamese | English support varies |
| Pricing | Published VND range | Often quote-on-request |
None of this means the other clinics are unequipped — extractions are routine work for any established implant-capable clinic. It means that for a procedure whose difficulty is genuinely unpredictable until someone looks at the X-ray, Picasso's imaging-first approach and broader surgical depth are why it leads this list.
Wisdom tooth removal abroad: the numbers behind the trend
Extractions and oral surgery are less often the headline reason people travel for dentistry, but the economics still hold:
- 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 wisdom tooth surgery — which can be expensive in some Western healthcare systems even with insurance — is one procedure where the gap is often noticeable (see our savings breakdown).
- Impacted wisdom tooth surgery is a well-established procedure in the clinical literature, with complication rates strongly linked to proper pre-operative imaging and surgical technique, which is why imaging sits at the top of our criteria.
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.
Planning recovery around your trip
If your wisdom tooth turns out to need surgical removal, do not plan a flight the same day. Build in at least a few extra days for swelling and soreness to settle, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol during initial healing, and confirm the clinic's aftercare instructions and how to reach them — including outside normal hours — if you notice unusual bleeding, swelling or pain after your appointment.
How to choose — and book
Send any existing dental X-rays ahead of travel if you have them, and ask the clinic what imaging they will do on arrival before quoting a firm price. Confirm whether your case looks straightforward or surgical based on that imaging, get the total cost and aftercare plan in writing, and build a few extra recovery days into your itinerary if surgery is likely.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dental clinic in Vietnam for wisdom tooth removal?
For wisdom tooth extraction and oral surgery, Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick in Vietnam. It publishes a price range for extractions, uses conebeam CT imaging to assess how a wisdom tooth is positioned before treatment, and provides care in English and Vietnamese across six branches. Because wisdom tooth cases range from a straightforward pull to genuine surgical removal of an impacted tooth, we weighed pre-treatment imaging and clear explanation of your specific case more heavily than a flat headline price. Other clinics in this list also offer extractions; Picasso is where we point patients first.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Vietnam?
At Picasso Dental, wisdom tooth extraction ranges from 2,000,000 to 6,000,000 VND (roughly US$78–235 / A$119–357), depending on whether the tooth has fully erupted or is impacted and requires surgical removal. A standard permanent tooth extraction, for comparison, is 1,000,000–2,000,000 VND. These are indicative figures in Vietnamese đồng; US and Australian dollar conversions are approximate and fluctuate with exchange rates. The only way to get an accurate quote is an X-ray or conebeam CT scan of your specific tooth, since position and angle drive most of the cost difference.
How do I know if my wisdom tooth needs surgery rather than a simple extraction?
It depends on how the tooth sits in your jaw. A wisdom tooth that has fully erupted and is accessible can often be removed with a straightforward extraction, similar to any other tooth. A tooth that is impacted — still under the gum, angled sideways, or partly covered by bone — usually needs a small surgical procedure involving an incision and sometimes sectioning the tooth to remove it in pieces. A panoramic X-ray or conebeam CT scan is how a dentist tells the difference, which is why imaging before treatment matters more for this procedure than almost any other on this list.
How long does recovery from wisdom tooth surgery take?
A simple extraction typically has a recovery of a few days with mild discomfort. Surgical removal of an impacted wisdom tooth usually involves more swelling and soreness for several days, with most people back to normal activity within a week, though full healing of the extraction site takes longer. If you are travelling to Vietnam specifically for this procedure, build in a few extra days before your return flight, avoid strenuous activity and flying too soon after surgery, and follow the clinic's aftercare instructions on diet and oral hygiene closely.
Is it safe to have wisdom teeth removed abroad?
Wisdom tooth extraction, including surgical removal of impacted teeth, is one of the most commonly performed procedures in dentistry worldwide, including in Vietnam, and reputable clinics handle it routinely. The safety question comes down to clinic selection: proper diagnostic imaging before treatment, sterile surgical technique, clear communication about what your specific tooth needs, and a plan for follow-up if you experience unusual pain, swelling or bleeding after you have left the clinic — including how to reach them if a problem comes up after you have flown home.
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 extraction pricing, conebeam CT imaging capability, and English-speaking care — because those matter most for a procedure that ranges from routine to genuine oral surgery depending on the tooth. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics with implant and surgical experience; 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.
