With dental costs rising globally, many people are looking to Southeast Asia to save money. This raises the question: Is dental tourism cost in Vietnam truly affordable? With experience from Oravina Travel, this article will help you understand the price, quality and why Vietnam has become a prominent destination. Read on to find out.
Is the dental tourism cost in Vietnam really low?
Absolutely yes!
According to many reports and market data, dental costs in Vietnam are only about one-third of those in the US and Australia, while the quality of treatment still meets international standards. Take implants as an example: a titanium implant in Vietnam costs about $950, including materials and surgical procedures. In the US, the same cost can be up to $5,000 and in Australia, about $5,500 for the same type of implant.

Dentists are highly trained
Is the lower dental tourism cost compromising quality?
For many international travelers, a very low dental tourism cost can sound “too good to be true”. The biggest concern is often: Are clinics cutting corners on hygiene, materials or expertise to offer such cheap prices? In Vietnam’s reputable clinics, the answer is no. The lower cost comes mainly from lower living and operating expenses not from sacrificing standards.
First, infection control is taken extremely seriously. Quality clinics follow international sterilization protocols, using autoclave systems, disposable tools where needed, sealed instrument pouches and clearly separated “clean-dirty” zones. Treatment rooms are regularly disinfected and staff are trained in strict hygiene procedures similar to those found in Western countries. So even when the dental tourism cost is lower, the safety level remains high.
Second, most leading dental centers use imported dental materials and equipment. Implants, crowns, veneers and bonding agents often come from well-known brands in Switzerland, Germany, the US or Japan. That means the tooth you restore in Vietnam uses the same type of material you might get in the US or Australia just placed in a clinic with lower overhead costs, which keeps the final price down.
Third, the dentists themselves are highly trained. Many have graduated from top Vietnamese universities and then completed additional courses or fellowships abroad (Korea, Europe, the US…). They regularly attend international conferences, use digital dentistry tools (CT Cone Beam, CAD/CAM, intraoral scanners) and follow evidence-based treatment protocols. This combination of strong fundamentals and ongoing training helps ensure predictable, long-term results.
Finally, the real “report card” comes from patients. Reputable clinics and providers like Oravina Travel can show hundreds of 5-star reviews from foreign patients, along with before-after photos and detailed case stories. These authentic experiences prove that a lower dental tourism cost in Vietnam does not mean low quality, it means the same (or better) outcome for a fraction of the price, thanks to structural cost advantages rather than shortcuts in care.

Popular treatments with the best dental tourism cost in Vietnam
With Vietnam becoming a top destination for dental travel, many international visitors look for procedures that offer both excellent results and great value.
The following 4 services are being chosen by international visitors:
- Teeth whitening is the most popular choice thanks to its quick implementation time, low cost and obvious effectiveness after just one session. Tourists often combine teeth whitening right before or in the middle of their travel schedule to feel more confident throughout their trip.
- Crowns and veneers are popular because of their ability to quickly improve their smile. CAD/CAM technology in Vietnam allows new teeth to be created in just 48 hours.
- Implants are one of the services with the most impressive savings. Many visitors spend 5-7 days in Vietnam to combine travel and tooth restoration.
- Invisalign is increasingly popular thanks to its aesthetics and convenience. With reasonable costs and a team of experienced doctors, this is the perfect choice for those who want orthodontic treatment but do not want to wear traditional braces.
