Dentists and dental care in Ho Chi Minh City

Whether you’re struck with toothache or looking for some cheap repair or enhancement work, dental clinics Ho Chi Minh City has its fair share of  willing to help.

Firstly, what’s available?

From a cosmetic point of view, teeth whitening is popular and is certainly much cheaper than in Western countries. The problem with teeth whitening is that you need a few repeat visits — not always possible when travelling — and ideally need to do some home treatments in between visits as well, but if you’re serious about it, it may be worth a few extra days in Hanoi. Just use the time to visit the surrounding areas: appointment 1, Cu Chi Hood , appointment 2, Vung Tau Beach , appointment 3, etc …

A visit to the hygienist seems to be all the rage back home, but comes at a price. In Ho Chi Minh City, expect to pay around US$20-25 for an appointment – and a fresh, clean mouth.

And if you do have an tooth emergency — broken crown, abscess, filling falls out, root canal work – they can be dealt with too. Orthodontic procedures are also available.
