Last fact-checked: 15 February 2020

Take advantage of fantastic deals on dentures in Vietnam by booking with Dental Departures. The perfect place for an exotic holiday in Southeast Asia, you’ll have plenty to grin about when you return home with a brand new smile, having paid around 75% less than what it costs at home.

Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most popular holiday destinations. Not only does it offer world-class beaches and incredible landscapes, but also a number of awe-inspiring UNESCO listed world heritage sites. An enthralling country, its unique blend of old and new cultures is alluring, offering dental patients an enchanting destination for quality dental care.

Whether you already have dentures that need replacing or you are completely new to the experience, a visit to one of our quality-checked Vietnam dentists will save you money. 

Why Have Dentures in Vietnam?

The savings speak for themselves, but in no way does it mean that you will be receiving inferior services or quality of materials for your dentures in Vietnam. The same materials and well-known brands your dentist uses at home are available to our dentists in Vietnam.

The reason prices are so much lower in Vietnam is all down to the country's relatively low cost of living, which see these savings passed on to you the patient.

The really good news here is that because your money goes so much further in Vietnam, you can choose to upgrade to higher-quality materials for your dentures, which perhaps you might not be able to afford at home. 

We do maintain that you should choose your dentist carefully and book in with a clinic that you know is trustworthy. This is not necessarily easy to do if you are looking overseas, which is why we have already done the background checks for you. Criminal and legal records, as well as dentist qualifications,  are checked by us. We also visit clinics, collate real patient testimonials and publish high-definition photos on our site. This gives prospective patients all of the resources needed to make a well-informed choice as to which clinic suits them best. 

Take a look at three of our most popular clinics in Vietnam for dentures:

• Rose Dental (Ho Chi Minh City)
• Serenity International Dental Clinic (Hanoi)
• Elite Dental Vietnam (Tu Xuong)

How Long Do Dentures Take in Vietnam?

If you haven’t recently undergone surgery or had a tooth extracted, your dentist in Vietnam can usually carry out the necessary measurements and have them made and fitted within a matter of days.

If you've had extractions, you will wait around three months for your gums to heal–but don’t worry, you won't be left toothless: a ‘healing denture,’ which is considerably lighter than a permanent one, will be fitted in the meantime.

Should I Go for Acrylic or Porcelain Dentures?

Your dentist will discuss the options with you as to what materials may be best for your particular circumstances.

Acrylic dentures are the most affordable option, and they are also very light and comfortable. Porcelain dentures are more expensive and look more natural, but they may not suit everyone as they are heavier than acrylic and may be less comfortable.

How Much Can I Save on Dentures in Vietnam Compared to Australia and New Zealand?

Full dentures in Australia will cost around AUD $2,362; in Vietnam, you’ll be looking at about AUD $500.
