Yes. Our dentists and patient coordinators speak English and look after international patients every day.

It depends on your treatment. Porcelain veneers and crowns need at least 3–4 days (about a week is ideal), while implants usually need two trips of about a week each. Your dentist will explain the timeline in your treatment plan before you book flights.

Yes. We help international patients plan appointment times and can advise on airport pickup and accommodation near the clinic.

For most people, a check-up and professional cleaning every six months is recommended. Your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your gum health and history.

Yes. We see children for check-ups, cleanings, fillings and advice, and take time to help them feel comfortable.

Message us on WhatsApp at +84 987 360 359 with a photo and a short description. We will advise you and arrange the earliest possible appointment.

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic, so most patients feel only pressure. Root canal treatment usually relieves the pain caused by the infection.

Yes. Many international patients combine a check-up and cleaning with their trip. Message us your dates and we will book a time that suits you.

Professional whitening supervised by a dentist is considered safe for healthy teeth. We check your teeth first and protect your gums during treatment.

No. Whitening only lightens natural teeth. If you have restorations on your front teeth, your dentist will discuss how to keep your smile an even shade.

Results depend on your habits. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine and smoking, and brushing well, helps your smile stay brighter for longer.

Some people feel mild sensitivity for a day or two. Tell us if your teeth are usually sensitive so we can plan accordingly.

A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front of a tooth, mainly to improve its appearance. A crown covers the whole tooth, so it also restores strength — the better choice for teeth weakened by decay, large fillings, fractures or root canal treatment.

Zirconia (such as Katana or Lava 3M) is very strong and suits back teeth; pressed ceramic (Emax) offers more translucency for front teeth. Your dentist recommends a material after examining your tooth, bite and smile goals.

Yes. A crown can sit on a natural tooth or on a dental implant that replaces a missing tooth’s root. We also make bridges, where crowns on neighbouring teeth support a replacement tooth.

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before it is prepared, so most patients feel only pressure. Some sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal and settles on its own.

Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and keep regular check-ups, just as with natural teeth. Avoid biting very hard objects. Your written treatment plan sets out the warranty that applies to your crown.

A single implant usually takes two trips of about a week each, a few months apart, so the implant can heal before the crown is fitted. One trip may be possible with MegaGen or Straumann implants when the bone is good. Full-arch treatment (All-on-4 or All-on-6) takes two trips: about a week, then about 1–2 weeks a few months later. Your dentist confirms your timeline after reviewing your X-rays. More on our dental implants page.

Dentium and MegaGen (Korea), Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Sweden–Switzerland) and Neodent (Brazil, part of the Straumann Group). Your written plan names the brand chosen for you and why. See dental implants.

Implant surgery is performed by Dr. Do Nhu Chuyen, who has more than 12 years in practice and has placed more than 10,000 implants, including full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases. Meet our doctors.

It depends on your bone, your bite and the shape of your jaw. The surgeon decides after reviewing your 3D CBCT scan, and your written plan explains which is recommended and why. Read more on our All-on-4 and All-on-6 page.

With full-arch treatment, yes. You fly home with a fixed temporary bridge screwed to the implants and eat a softer diet while they heal; the final bridge is fitted on your second trip. See All-on-4 and All-on-6.

Yes. Your first trip covers the examination, scan and your first aligners. Between visits you send progress photos and your dentist reviews them remotely; you usually come back in person about once a year. See Invisalign in Vietnam.

Most Invisalign treatment takes 12–36 months, depending on how much the teeth need to move and how consistently the aligners are worn. Your ClinCheck 3D plan shows your estimated timeline before you start. More on our Invisalign page.

Fixed braces need regular in-person adjustments, so they suit people who live in Vietnam. If you are travelling from abroad, Invisalign with remote check-ins is usually easier to fit around your trips. Your dentist advises after examining your bite. See braces and Invisalign.

Medivis is a Platinum Invisalign Provider, and Dr. Ta Hong Nhung leads our orthodontic team. Meet our doctors.

Yes. Teeth tend to move back over time, so retainers are fitted at the end of treatment and are usually worn at night, as your dentist directs. If you need a new retainer, it can be made in about 2 days. See night guards and retainers.

One trip of at least 3–4 days, with two visits: preparation and impressions, then the fitting after the lab work. If you can stay about 7 days, there is time for finer adjustments. See porcelain veneers and crowns.

Usually less than 0.5 mm of enamel from the front of the tooth, under local anaesthetic. Your dentist checks first whether veneers are the right option for your teeth and bite. More on our veneers page.

Some patients ask for a smile makeover. For us it means one combined treatment plan, done in the right order: it starts with a diagnosis of your teeth and gums, then sets out each step, for example cleaning, fillings or whitening before veneers or crowns, with the number of trips and the cost in writing before you book. See porcelain veneers.

If you would like your natural teeth lighter as well, whitening is done first, so the shade of your veneers or crowns can be matched to your new natural colour. See teeth whitening.

Send us your X-rays or clear photos. After a dentist has reviewed them, we send a written plan and quote, with the number of trips and days, before you book travel. The assessment is free. See plan your dental trip.

Cash in Vietnamese dong or foreign currency, credit and debit cards (including cards issued abroad), bank transfer, and MoMo, ZaloPay or VNPay.

Staged payment options can be discussed at your consultation.

It depends on your insurer and policy, so check with them before treatment where you can. We provide itemised invoices in English that you can submit with a claim. See dentist in Vietnam for expats.

Your quote lists exactly what is included, for example the clinical appointments, scans and materials, and for some treatments airport transfers. You can see how a sample quote is set out on our dental implants page.

Yes. Local anaesthetic is used for fillings, root canal treatment, tooth preparation for crowns and veneers, and implant surgery, so most patients feel only pressure. See general dentistry.

Yes, for implant and full-arch surgery, or if you are anxious and the procedure is long. Sedation is given with an anaesthetist supervising, alongside local anaesthetic. Read when you need sedation for implants.

Send a list of your medicines and health conditions with your X-rays. The dentist goes through your medical history and the options with you before the day of surgery. See All-on-4 and All-on-6.

Tell us when you get in touch. Your dentist explains each step before starting and checks in with you as the treatment goes on. For longer surgical procedures, sedation can be discussed. Meet our doctors.

Send photos or questions on WhatsApp; the team passes them to your dentist, who advises you on the next steps. Read aftercare for dental tourists.

Yes. Regular check-ups and cleaning, including around implants, can be done by a dentist near you. We share your records with them. See aftercare once you are home.

Your scans and X-rays, and details of the implant brand and materials used, so any dentist can see what was done. See aftercare for dental tourists.

Your trip is planned so the dentist checks you before you fly. After a sinus lift, the advice is different. Read flying after implants or a sinus lift.

Your written treatment plan sets out the warranty that applies to your treatment. See plan your dental trip.
