Dental Tourism in Vietnam

Visa Requirements for Dental Tourism in Vietnam

Vietnam’s entry requirements depend on your nationality and passport. The country’s official e-Visa system is available to citizens of all countries and territories, with e-Visas valid for a maximum of 90 days and available for single or multiple entry.

• UK, German, French, Italian and Spanish citizens: currently eligible for visa-free stays of up to 45 days.

• US, Canadian and Australian citizens: can apply for Vietnam’s e-Visa for stays of up to 90 days.

• Other nationalities: the 90-day e-Visa is broadly available, while additional visa exemptions may apply depending on nationality.

If your treatment is staged across more than one trip, check that your visa or visa-free allowance fits both visits. Entry rules can change, so always confirm your requirements through Vietnam’s official immigration or tourism sources before booking flights.

Dental Tourism in Vietnam for Australian & New Zealand Patients

Vietnam is a practical Asian dental-tourism option for patients traveling from Australia and New Zealand, particularly for higher-value treatment such as implants, crowns and full-arch restorations. The cost difference can be significant enough to make a multi-day treatment trip attractive even after flights and accommodation are included.

Both Australian and New Zealand passport holders can use Vietnam’s e-Visa system for stays of up to 90 days. For implant treatment, confirm whether your plan can be completed in one trip or requires a later return after the healing period.

Dental Tourism in Vietnam for UK Patients

For UK patients, Vietnam is most relevant for larger restorative or implant treatment plans where the price difference compared with private dentistry at home can offset the cost and duration of long-haul travel. Current example prices show particularly large differences for implants, All-on-4 treatment and crowns.

UK citizens can currently enter Vietnam without a visa for stays of up to 45 days, giving most short dental trips enough time for treatment and follow-up appointments. Before booking, compare complete treatment scopes rather than advertised starting prices.

Dental Tourism in Vietnam for US & Canadian Patients

US and Canadian patients face a longer journey, so Vietnam generally makes the most sense for comprehensive treatment rather than a single low-cost procedure. Multiple implants, full-arch treatment and extensive crown or veneer work can create a larger overall cost difference compared with private treatment at home.

US and Canadian travelers can apply for Vietnam’s e-Visa, which is valid for up to 90 days and can be issued for single or multiple entry. Patients considering staged implant care should confirm the clinical timeline before arranging flights.

How to Compare Vietnam Dentist Prices Fairly

When comparing dentist prices in Vietnam—whether you are looking at Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City—the headline price rarely tells the full story. Two clinics can quote different totals for what appears to be the same treatment because the implant system, restorative material, diagnostics, laboratory work and additional procedures included in each quote are different.

What to check before comparing quotes

• Treatment scope: Confirm whether an implant quote covers only the fixture or the complete fixture + abutment + crown restoration.

• Materials and brands: Check the implant system, crown or veneer material and whether premium-brand options change the price.

• Diagnostics and extras: Confirm whether panoramic X-rays, CT/CBCT imaging, extractions, bone grafting, sedation or other procedures are included.

• Laboratory work: Check whether CAD/CAM work, lab fees and temporary restorations are included in the quoted price.

• Travel support: Confirm whether airport transfers, local transportation or accommodation assistance are included or charged separately.

• Warranty and aftercare: Compare what is covered, for how long and how revisions or follow-up are handled after you return home.

The best-value clinic is usually the one that combines suitable clinical experience, appropriate materials and a transparent written treatment plan—not simply the lowest advertised price. Request an itemized quote and compare like for like before making your decision.

What's Included in Your Dental Tourism Package?

Clinics experienced in dental tourism in Vietnam often go beyond the dental procedure itself, offering structured coordination and practical support for international patients.

What's included depends on the clinic and treatment plan, but commonly covers:

• Diagnostics — panoramic X-ray, CT or CBCT imaging where clinically needed.

• Written treatment plan and schedule — itemized pricing, proposed procedures, materials and expected timeline.

• Transfer and accommodation assistance — airport pick-up, local transport, hotel recommendations or bundled stays where offered.

• Temporary restorations — temporary crowns, teeth or prostheses where required during multi-stage treatment.

• International-patient coordination — support with appointments, communication and travel-related questions.

• Aftercare instructions and warranty terms — guidance on recovery, follow-up care and what is covered after you return home.

Not all services are automatically included, and packages can vary significantly between clinics. Before booking, confirm exactly what is covered for implants (fixture vs. abutment vs. crown), temporary teeth, sedation, extractions, bone grafting, laboratory fees, accommodation, transfers and any future revisions, as these details can have the biggest impact on the final cost.
