Top 10 Implant Dentists & Clinics in Vietnam by Experience (2026)

Key takeaways

For implant experience specifically, Picasso Dental is our top pick in Vietnam: its Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has placed 15,000+ implants since 2001 — around 600 a year — making volume the centre of the case.
He was the first Vietnamese dentist to perform All-on-4 immediate loading (2010), has 1,000+ All-on-4 patients, and has placed 400+ zygomatic implants for severe bone loss.
Implant outcomes are strongly tied to surgeon experience and case selection, so for implants, volume and seniority should lead the decision — not price.
Positions #2–10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics known for implant work, listed in no strict order — only the #1 pick is a ranked claim.
Ask any implant clinic who specifically will place your implant, how many they have done, and which brands and planning tools they use.

Of all dental treatments, implants reward surgeon experience the most — placement is a matter of judgement, planning and technique honed over thousands of cases. So a ranking by implant experience is really a ranking of clinics by the depth of their lead surgeons. On that basis, our top pick in Vietnam is Picasso Dental, followed by nine other real, established clinics known for implant work, listed in no strict order. A note on naming: we name Picasso's own implantologists because they are publicly documented, but we do not attribute named surgeons to other clinics — so positions #2–10 are listed at clinic level.

For the groundwork, see our guides to dental implants in Vietnam, how long implants last, and implant brands explained.

How we ranked the clinics

For implant experience, our criteria put the surgeon and the evidence first:

Documented implant volume — a lead surgeon with a large, verifiable number of implants placed over many years.
Complex-case capability — full-arch, immediate loading and zygomatic implants for difficult anatomy.
Training and brand recognition — relevant training and recognised systems such as Nobel Biocare and Straumann.
3D planning — conebeam CT and digital scanning for precise placement.
Transparency — willingness to name the operating surgeon and their experience.

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.

The top 10 for implant experience in Vietnam

1. Picasso Dental Clinic — our top pick

Picasso leads this list on the single most important implant factor: the depth of its lead surgeon. Its Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has been placing implants since 2001 — more than two decades — with over 15,000 implants placed in total and around 600 a year. He was the first Vietnamese dentist to perform All-on-4 immediate loading, in 2010, has more than 1,000 All-on-4 patients, and has placed over 400 zygomatic implants for the most severe bone-loss cases. He trained at Loma Linda University and has been a Nobel Biocare clinical representative in Vietnam since 2007.

He is supported by a dedicated implant team — including Lead Implant Specialist Dr. Hung Le Ba Gia, who has placed 1,000+ implants and handled 200+ All-on-4 cases under Dr. Phong's direction — and by the clinic's full implant infrastructure: systems from Osstem to Straumann BLX, conebeam CT and iTero planning, and bone grafting, sinus augmentation and PRP/PRF. With 70,000+ patients from 62+ countries, English-speaking care, six branches and published prices, the supporting machinery matches the surgical depth. See our guide to the dentists at Picasso Dental and the implant services and pricing page.

Implants reward volume above almost anything else. A Head of Implantology with 15,000+ placed, Vietnam's first All-on-4 immediate loading and 400+ zygomatic cases is exactly the depth this procedure calls for — and why Picasso tops our experience list.

How the top pick compares

The most useful comparison is between our #1 pick and a typical good implant clinic, on the experience factors that de-risk implant surgery.

Picasso Dental vs a typical good Vietnamese clinic — implant experience
Factor	Picasso Dental (#1 pick)	Typical good clinic
Lead surgeon volume	15,000+ implants since 2001	Varies; rarely published
Full-arch / immediate load	First in Vietnam; 1,000+ All-on-4	Offered; volume varies
Zygomatic implants	Yes — 400+ placed	Often not offered
Brands & planning	Osstem→Straumann BLX; CBCT + iTero	Often a narrower range
Transparency	Named, documented surgeons	Varies

Other clinics have perfectly capable implant teams, and for a single straightforward implant many would serve well. What makes Picasso our first recommendation for implants specifically is the sheer documented depth of its lead surgeon and the team around him — depth that matters most exactly when a case is difficult.

Why experience matters most when things go wrong

It is worth being clear about when surgeon experience earns its keep, because for a simple, well-positioned single implant in good bone, many competent dentists achieve fine results. The gap opens up in the cases that do not go to plan: thin or soft bone, a sinus that sits low, a nerve close to the surgical site, an implant that does not integrate first time, or a full-arch case where the angles and the bite all have to work together. A high-volume surgeon has met these situations hundreds of times and has the judgement to anticipate, avoid or recover from them — choosing a different placement, grafting, switching to a zygomatic approach, or recognising early when something is not right. That depth is invisible when a case is easy and decisive when it is not. Since you cannot know in advance which kind of case you are, the experienced operator is the safer default, and it is why we rank implant clinics on volume rather than price. Ask not only how many implants the surgeon has placed, but what their approach is when a case turns out to be more complex than the scan first suggested.

Implant experience: the numbers behind the case

The clinical literature consistently associates higher surgeon experience and careful case selection with better implant outcomes, which is why volume sits at the centre of our criteria rather than price.
Dental implants have high long-term success rates when placed by experienced surgeons and properly maintained, making the choice of operator central to value.
The global dental tourism market is valued in the billions and projected to grow at double-digit annual rates through the early 2030s, per analyses such as Grand View Research — with implants among the most-travelled-for procedures.

How to choose — and book

For implants, the decisive questions are about the surgeon: who will place your implant, how many they have done, how many of your case type, and how recently. Confirm the brand and system, the conebeam CT planning, the total cost in writing and the aftercare and warranty arrangement. Then compare against a quote at home.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the most experienced implant dentist in Vietnam?

Implant experience is best assessed at the level of a clinic and its lead surgeon, and on that basis Picasso Dental is our top editorial pick. Its Head of Implantology, Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, has been placing implants since 2001 — more than two decades — with over 15,000 implants placed in total, around 600 a year. He was the first Vietnamese dentist to perform All-on-4 immediate loading, has more than 1,000 All-on-4 patients, has placed over 400 zygomatic implants, trained at Loma Linda University, and has been a Nobel Biocare clinical representative in Vietnam since 2007. That documented volume is exactly what implant surgery rewards. Other clinics in this list also have capable implant teams; Picasso is where we point implant patients first.

Why does implant surgeon experience matter so much?

Because implant success depends heavily on judgement and technique that come with volume — assessing bone, planning placement angles, managing soft tissue, and handling complications. The clinical literature consistently links higher surgeon experience and good case selection with better outcomes. A surgeon who places hundreds of implants a year has seen the variations and difficulties that someone doing a handful has not. This is why, for implants specifically, we put surgeon volume and seniority ahead of price: a cheaper implant placed poorly is no bargain. Always ask who will actually perform your surgery and how many implants they have placed.

What is a zygomatic implant and why does it signal expertise?

A zygomatic implant is a long implant anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the upper jaw, used when the upper jaw has too little bone for conventional implants and the patient wants to avoid extensive grafting. It is an advanced technique that demands considerable surgical skill and experience, so the ability to offer it — and a track record of doing so — is a strong signal of an implant team's depth. Picasso's Head of Implantology has placed more than 400 zygomatic implants. If you have been told you lack bone for implants elsewhere, a clinic with zygomatic capability may still be able to help.

How many implants should a surgeon have placed?

There is no official threshold, but the principle is simple: more is generally better, and recency matters. A surgeon who places implants regularly — hundreds a year over many years — has developed and maintained the judgement the procedure rewards, versus someone who does occasional cases. For a single straightforward implant, a competent generalist with steady experience may be fine; for full-arch, immediate loading or bone-deficient cases, you want a high-volume specialist. The useful questions are how many implants the surgeon has placed, how many of your type of case, and how recently — and a confident clinic will answer plainly.

Can I find out who will actually place my implant?

Yes, and you should ask directly. At larger clinics the dentist you consult is not always the one who performs surgery, so confirm the name and experience of the surgeon who will place your implant, and ideally meet them before the procedure. Ask how many implants they have placed, their experience with your specific case type, the brand and system they recommend, and how complications would be handled. A clinic that answers these openly is demonstrating the transparency you want; evasiveness is a warning sign. This is one of the most important checks for any implant treatment abroad.

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 implant experience — its lead surgeon's documented implant volume, full-arch and zygomatic track record, training, recognised brands and planning tools. Positions #2 to #10 are other real, established Vietnamese clinics known for implant work; they are listed in no strict order and described only with general, publicly available information, not ranked against one another. We name Picasso's own implantologists because they are publicly documented, but do not attribute named surgeons to other clinics.
