About Vietnam Clinic Field Guide
Updated 11 November 2026 · by the Vietnam Clinic Field Guide editors
About this site: Vietnam Clinic Field Guide is a small planning guide about dental clinics in Vietnam, written for people in Australia and New Zealand. It explains the kinds of clinic you will meet and how to check one before you pay.
What this site is
This site is a guide, and nothing here is medical advice.
- It is not a clinic, it does not employ dentists and it does not treat anyone.
- We do not tell any reader what treatment to have.
- Questions about your teeth go to your own dentist at home and to the dentist who treats you in Vietnam.
We do not name clinics. Clinic websites and directory lists already do that, and a name alone tells you little. Our pages focus on what you can check for yourself: the licence, the sterilisation, the scans, the lab and the paperwork.
Where our facts come from
Each section ends with its sources. If we cannot source a number, we leave it out.
| Fact | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Licences | Vietnam's Law No. 15/2023/QH15 |
| Starting prices | Only Dental Link's own published pages, read on the day we update a page |
| Medicare | The Australian Government's privatehealth.gov.au |
How this site is paid for
We are linked to Dental Link, a dental concierge in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, by a business deal.
- When a reader asks for quotes through the links on this site, the site may be paid.
- Dental Link's own site states that its fee comes from the clinics, so a patient owes it nothing.
- It also states that the clinic bill matches what you would be charged going in alone.
- The disclosure box at the foot of every page says the same thing.
How we build each page
Before we write a page, we read the pages that already rank in Australia for its question. We noted what each one covered and where readers were left without an answer. Then we wrote our own page around that gap, in plain words, at about a year 8 reading level.
What we read for the home page, 11 November 2026: clinic price lists and home pages, a travel agency guide, lists of named clinics, an Australian practice page that argues against treatment overseas, and Facebook group posts. None is named here.
- We test each page on a phone screen.
- We check every link on the site works.
- We check that no page names a clinic and that every price has a source beside it.
What we do not do
- We do not rank or score named clinics.
- No patient stories and no star ratings appear here.
- We do not say how long to wait before flying after treatment. Your treating dentist decides that.
- We do not sell flights, hotels or visas, and neither does the concierge we mention.
Corrections and updates
Each page carries its update date near the top. When a source changes, such as a price on Dental Link's site or a rule in Vietnam's licensing law, we re-read the source and update the page and its date. If a source can no longer be found, we remove the fact rather than guess.
Where we have no data, we say so. We have found no published count or survey that shows any of these, so we do not claim:
- that one city has more clinics
- that hospitals have longer waits
- that one kind of clinic has better equipment
We turn those points into questions you can ask instead.
