Dental Tourism in Ho Chi Minh City: Costs, Clinics & How It Works
Saigon is Vietnam's leading destination for affordable, international-standard dental care — implants, crowns, and veneers at 50–70% less than Western prices.
Ho Chi Minh City is the heart of Vietnam’s dental-tourism industry. The city has a high concentration of modern clinics — many in District 1 — staffed by dentists trained in the US, Europe, and Australia, using the same implant systems and CAD/CAM technology you’d find at home, at a fraction of the cost.
It also happens to be one of Vietnam’s most exciting cities, so your trip is far more than a clinic visit — see the Ho Chi Minh City travel guide.
Why patients choose Saigon
- Big savings. Most treatments cost 50–70% less than in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia.
- International standards. Leading clinics use globally recognised implant brands and digital workflows.
- English-speaking care. Major clinics work with international patients daily.
- It’s a great trip. Recover over street food, rooftop bars, and a Mekong Delta day out.
Indicative treatment costs

| Treatment | Vietnam (approx.) | Typical Western price |
|---|---|---|
| Dental implant (single, incl. crown) | $1,000–$2,000 | $3,000–$6,000+ |

How a treatment trip works
- Send your details. Photos or X-rays and what you’d like done.
- Get a plan. A treatment plan, quote, and suggested timeline within ~48 hours.
- Travel & treat. Arrive to arranged flights, hotel, and transfers; begin treatment.
- Aftercare. Follow-up and guarantees once you’re home.
Timing & visas
Many treatments (crowns, veneers, whitening) finish in one trip of a few days to two weeks. Implants usually need two visits with a healing gap of a few months — the 90-day e-visa comfortably covers each stay.
Choosing a clinic safely
- Confirm the dentist’s training and the implant brand used.
- Ask for a written treatment plan and guarantee.
- Check sterilisation and infection-control standards.
- Read independent reviews from international patients.
