10 key things to know before choosing Vietnam dental tourism

Vietnam dental tourism

Vietnam dental tourism is rising rapidly. At Oravina Travel, we’ve designed programs to help international visitors feel safe, informed and empowered when planning their dental journey in Vietnam. Dive into these 10 key things you must know before you decide.

Key Point 1. Huge cost savings without compromising quality

High-quality clinics

High-quality clinics

One of the reasons why Vietnam dental tourism stands out is that the cost of treatment can be much lower than in the US, Australia or the UK. However, this preferential price does not come from a reduction in quality, but mainly because the operating costs, labor and premises in Vietnam are significantly lower than in Western countries.

The important point to understand is that low costs do not reflect the level of doctors or outdated technology. On the contrary, many high-quality clinics, such as Dr. Smile (Oravina Travel’s main partner), are equipped with 3D ConeBeam CT, CAD/CAM systems, imported materials from Germany, Switzerland, the US and sterilization processes according to international standards.

Dr. Smile has accompanied many customers from the US, Canada, Singapore or Australia and the quality of treatment has been proven through the actual restoration results. That means you get international quality but at a much more reasonable cost.

Key Point 2. Highly Qualified Dentists

Their solid expertise and modern approach

The staff in this field is not as outdated as many people think. In fact, Vietnam dental tourism has grown rapidly because most doctors at clinics serving foreign customers are well-trained, graduated from prestigious medical universities and regularly attend international workshops to stay updated with the latest technology. Their solid expertise and modern approach are major reasons why dental tourism in Vietnam continues to gain global trust.

Key Point 3. Prepare your dental records and X-rays before flying

When you arrive at Dr.Smile, you will still have your X-rays taken and checked using a modern system. However, before starting your Vietnam dental tourism journey, preparing your dental records and X-rays in advance will help the doctor assess your oral health in more detail and significantly shorten the treatment time.

Key Point 4. Language barrier is not a concern

When choosing Vietnam dental tourism, you do not need to worry about language barriers because the dental clinics all have a team of doctors who are fluent in English and have a lot of experience serving Western customers. This ensures that all exchanges are not misunderstood. You can completely rest assured to experience the service with the most professional communication support.

Key Point 5. Services that are worth doing in Vietnam

Tourists should prioritize high-value services

Tourists should prioritize high-value services

Because the cost of dentistry in Vietnam is low, tourists should prioritize high-value services such as porcelain veneers or cosmetic porcelain crowns. In addition, gentle procedures such as teeth whitening, scaling and polishing are also worth experiencing during Vietnam dental tourism.

Key Point 6. Extremely convenient Visa procedures and logistics

Vietnam currently applies E-visa for many countries, the registration process is quick and easy, does not require too much paperwork and can be completed online in just a few minutes.

In addition, Oravina Travel supports all logistics:

  • Pick-up and drop-off at the airport by private car,
  • Arranging hotels near the clinic,
  • Supporting quick communication via WhatsApp/Zalo,
  • Coordinating examination and sightseeing schedules according to the customer’s time.

Thanks to that, the Vietnam dental tourism experience becomes easy, comfortable and completely pressure-free!

Key Point 7. Cruise tours are a hot trend in Vietnam dental tourism

At Oravina, more than 60% of customers choose to combine dental care with a relaxing cruise tour. A luxury Halong Bay cruise and the tranquil Lan Ha Bay routes are the two most popular options, especially for couples searching for the best Vietnam tour packages for couples. With peaceful emerald waters, romantic private cabins and signature activities such as kayaking, sunset parties or private dinners on the deck turns dental tourism into a truly memorable getaway.

Key Point 8. Choose the right time to visit Vietnam for the best experience

The weather directly affects the schedule

The weather directly affects the schedule

The weather directly affects the schedule of both treatment and travel. Vietnam has a tropical climate, divided into distinct seasons, so visitors need to choose the right time to optimize the experience.

  • October – April: cool weather, little rain – ideal for tours to Ha Long, Ninh Binh, Hoi An.
  • May – September: beautiful summer but there may be storms, especially in the North; need to follow the weather forecast if you want to combine a cruise.

In addition, choosing a “nice” time also helps to combine Vietnam dental tourism with outdoor activities (cruise tour, city tour, food tour) more fully.

Key Point 9. Don’t miss out on Vietnamese street food

In Oravina’s journeys, special and high-class meals are always prepared in the service package. However, if you want to understand the “soul” of Vietnamese cuisine, tell us! Oravina will take you to explore Vietnamese street food in the safest and most enjoyable way.

From pho, bun cha, banh mi to egg coffee or bustling sidewalk restaurants at night, street food culture is where you can truly feel the local lifestyle. This is also an experience that many international visitors love when choosing Vietnam dental tourism, because each dish is a piece of culture that cannot be found anywhere else.

Key Point 10. Vietnamese people are very friendly and hospitable

When arriving in a foreign country, many tourists may feel shy when communicating or asking for help from locals. But in Vietnam, that is almost non-existent. Vietnamese people are open, sincere and always willing to help, from the elderly sitting drinking tea on the street, the uncles and aunts selling goods, to the children happily greeting foreign guests.
