Elite Dental Center: affordable dental treatment in HCMC

Nguyen Thi Xuan Mai flew over 12 hours from Adelaide to visit a dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh City.

The trip saved her a significant amount of money and restored her confidence with a bright smile and healthy oral functions.

Vietnam attracted nearly 13 million arrivals last year.

A notable trend among visitors from more advanced economies was their tendency to seek dental treatment in Vietnam.

The country's ability to provide high-quality dental services at a more affordable cost than the travelers’ home countries explains the phenomenon.

Every year, between 100,000 and 300,000 tourists choose to undertake medical care in the country, with dental tourists playing a crucial role in the number.

Losing multiple or all teeth is a significant issue many face, impacting their health and quality of life.

Australian resident Mai lost her teeth years ago and had been using a porcelain bridge.

Over time, she experienced upper jawbone loss, and the porcelain bridge loosened, leading to inconveniences and discomfort while chewing.

When Nguyen visited Ho Chi Minh City in 2019, she chose Elite Dental Clinic for her dental treatments.

The doctors at the clinic recommended bone grafting, tooth extraction, and the Implant All On 4 procedure, a testament to their expertise and commitment to restoring oral health.

Doctors at Elite Dental Center fully restored Nguyen's oral health with All On 6 for the upper jaw and All On 4 for the lower jaw.

Today, she can smile and chew confidently.

By the end of 2023, there were over 2,000 dental clinics throughout Vietnam, around 40% of which were in Ho Chi Minh City.

Most offer general dental treatment services, such as scaling or cleaning dental plaque, and tooth extraction.

Just a few conduct specialized dentistry, like Elite Dental Center, because Implant All On 4 is a complicated technique that requires a doctor's expertise and modern facilities.

Established in 2012, Elite Dental Center now has three clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, with around 30 highly-trained doctors at three clinics equipped with world-class facilities and techniques.

The center's doctors have studied and trained in America, Europe, and developed countries such as Korea and Japan.

In the past decade, Vietnam has emerged as a leading destination for medical tourism in the region, particularly for dental care services.

The cost of dental care in Vietnam is nearly 80% cheaper than in Western countries such as Australia, the US, or Canada.

For example, a dental implant typically costs $US5,000 in the US, $5,500 in Australia, and around $1,000 in Vietnam.

Vietnam offers dental care at even lower prices than other Southeast Asian nations without compromising quality.

"We provide high-quality dental care and treatments at affordable prices. Compared to neighboring countries like Thailand, we can offer treatments of similar quality at 20–30% lower prices," said Dr. Tran Hung Lam, director of Elite Dental Center.

Around half of Elite Dental Center's patients come from overseas.

For cases with favorable outcomes, Elite Dental Center can complete a full-mouth implant procedure in just two weeks, saving international patients time and money on extended stays.

The center has advanced equipment, such as the PRF machine, a tissue-engineering scaffold used in oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

They also have the SiroLaser Blue, which aids in faster wound healing, promotes healing, and reduces pain and swelling for our customers.

Elite Dental Center has partnered with a local travel agency to offer comprehensive support for international guests.

This includes assistance with visa arrangements, airport pickups, hotel accommodations, and sightseeing tours.

Ongoing communication before and after trips ensures a seamless journey toward healthy, radiant smiles.

Doctor Tran Hung Lam, a highly regarded dental expert, graduated from Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 2002.

With over 15 years of experience in implantology, he currently serves as the director of the Institute for Research and Development of Dental Practice Skills.
