01The questions careful people ask

Answered the way we answer them on the phone.

Including the parts that are not flattering to us

Every answer here is the same answer you will get on a call. Where we do not know something, we say so. Where a figure is not one we have verified, it is marked [SAMPLE] rather than filled in.

A dentist at a verified clinic in Vietnam

Cost and payment

How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Vietnam?

US$3,900 to US$7,200 per arch at a Dental Link verified clinic. The published Australian range for the same arch is A$20,000 to A$40,000 and the published United States range is $20,000 to $35,000. That is a published range, not a promise about your mouth: your figure comes from your matched clinic after it has seen your X-rays.

How much is a single dental implant in Vietnam?

From US$950 at a verified clinic, for the post, abutment and crown as quoted per case. Published home ranges are A$3,000 to A$7,000 in Australia and $3,000 to $6,000 in the United States. Bone grafting, sinus lift or extraction is extra in every market.

What do veneers and crowns cost in Vietnam?

Published 2026 Vietnam guides put porcelain veneers at $250 to $500 per tooth and crowns at $150 to $500 per tooth. Both are marked SAMPLE on this site because we have not verified them against our own clinics' price lists. The number that counts is the written quote from your matched clinic.

Why is dental work so much cheaper in Vietnam?

Wages, rent and the cost of running a clinic are far lower than in Australia, the United States or the United Kingdom, and laboratory work is made locally rather than shipped. Materials and implant systems are bought globally, which is why the brand in your quote can be the same brand you would get at home. What a lower price does not tell you is whether the clinic is licensed or whether the brand in the mouth matches the brand in the quote, which is what the audit is for.

Why is it free for me? What is the catch?

Dental Link earns a commission from the clinic when a patient completes treatment. You pay the clinic directly, at the same price you would pay walking in off the street. The commission comes out of the clinic's side, never added to yours. Because we are paid only on completed treatment, a patient pushed into the wrong clinic is a loss for us, not a win. 100% free for patients. Same price as booking direct. No deposits, ever.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

No deposits, ever. Your appointment dates are held with the clinic without a deposit, and you pay the clinic directly, in person, for work you have agreed to.

Will the price change once I am there?

No. The plan and the price are in writing before you fly, and your advisor is in the room at your first appointment. A clinic that changes a price after a patient has landed, or sells treatment the patient did not come for, is removed from our list. That is the first item on the removal list.

What is not included?

Hotel, flights, visas and tours. We arrange them on request through Concierge Link and you pay the provider directly, so nothing is added by us. The treatment itself is paid directly to your clinic. Included at no cost: airport pickup, an advisor at your first appointment, English speaking support and translation, quote comparison across vetted clinics, and aftercare check-ins.

Safety and clinics

Is it safe to get dental work in Vietnam?

Safety is why our vetting page exists and why it is published rather than summarised. Every clinic we send patients to is registered and licensed with the Vietnamese Department of Health, has been visited in person during working hours, and has a named laboratory we have seen. Clinics are removed if standards slip. What we will not do is make a clinical claim. We are not dentists and we do not give treatment advice. You meet your dentist, see the clinic and get a written plan before you agree to anything, and once treatment starts you follow your clinic's instructions.

Is Vietnam good for dental implants?

Vietnam has clinics that place a lot of implants, with materials bought on the same global market as clinics at home, and published prices well below Australia and the United States. It also has clinics we would not send anyone to. The country does not answer the question. The clinic, the dentist's case history for your exact procedure, and the documents do.

How do you vet a clinic?

Twenty one checks in five groups: licence and legal standing, an in person visit by an advisor who lives in the city, the dentist rather than just the clinic, materials and pricing and warranty, and records and outcomes. Licences, registrations and sterilisation records are re-checked every year, and any clinic with a change of ownership or lead dentist is re-audited in full. All 21 are published in full on our vetting page.

Which clinic will I be matched with, and can I choose?

Clinics stay anonymous until the quote stage, shown as Verified Clinic, District 1, All-on-4 specialist, so you compare the plan and the price rather than the branding. Once your quotes are ready you get the clinic names, the dentist profiles, the walk through videos, and you choose. You can also ask for a different one, or none of them.

Can a clinic pay to be on your list?

No. No clinic can pay to be listed, to be placed higher, or to be shown to more patients. Our fee is paid on completed treatment only and it is the same whichever clinic a patient chooses.

Will someone speak English?

The treating dentist or a clinical translator being able to explain a plan, a material choice and an aftercare instruction in plain English is one of the 21 checks. On top of that your advisor is in the room at appointment one and on WhatsApp for the whole trip, in English and Vietnamese.

Process and timing

What actually happens on the call?

Ten minutes. We ask what you need done, what you were quoted at home, when you want it, and whether you have X-rays. That is enough to present your case properly. We do not sell you anything on the call. If Vietnam is not the right answer for you, we say so, and if you decide not to go, you owe nothing and you will not hear from us again.

What happens in the 24 hours after the call?

Your case goes to our partner network. The clinics that fit come back with their plan and their price, usually within hours of your X-rays. We compare inclusions, materials and warranty rather than just the total, narrow it to two, and send you a walk through video of each. You watch, you ask questions, you choose.

How long does it take to get dental implants in Vietnam?

For implants, most patients come twice, 3 to 6 months apart, because the implant needs to heal before the final teeth go on. Crowns, veneers and whitening are usually one visit. Your quote states the appointments and their spacing, so you book flights around real dates rather than a guess.

Do you have no teeth while waiting for implants?

Temporary teeth are part of most implant plans and should be a named line in your quote. What you have, from which day, and what you can eat with it is a clinical decision your dentist makes on your case and writes into the plan before you fly.

Who meets me at the airport?

Your advisor, and Tommy drives. Free airport pickup is included with every booking in every city. Send your flight number and the car is booked. Your advisor then sits beside you at your first appointment and translates the plan, the materials and the warranty terms in the room, while you can still ask questions.

Which city will I be in?

Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi or Da Nang. Most of our clinics are in Ho Chi Minh City and so is your advisor, Hanoi holds a second cluster, and Da Nang is on the coast an hour's flight from either. If you have a preference, tell us. If you do not, we match on your case, which is what we would recommend anyway.

Warranty and aftercare

What if something goes wrong after I fly home?

We negotiate the warranty for you. Clinics offer different terms, and a patient who walks in alone usually gets the standard one. Our partner network is large enough that we can negotiate better warranty terms on your behalf, and they are written into your quote before you agree to anything, so you compare warranties the same way you compare prices. Your advisor keeps the clinic's direct line and raises anything you report. If remedial work is ever needed, it is done under that written warranty and your travel back is covered. And if a clinic handles a problem badly, that takes it off the list.

What does the warranty actually say?

Whatever your written quote says, which you read before you fly. Ask for five things in every quote: how many years and from when, which components are covered, what the exclusions are, who you contact and in what language, and whether travel back is covered. A warranty missing any of those is a sentence, not a warranty.

Do you give aftercare advice?

No. Follow your clinic's instructions once you are home. If a clinical question comes up we get it back in front of your treating dentist rather than answering it ourselves. What our check-ins do is make sure the question actually reaches the clinic, in Vietnamese, from our side of the world.

Will you guarantee the result?

No, and nobody honest will. What we guarantee is the process: the pickup, the advisor in the room, the check-ins, the written quotes at the clinic's own price, and a named person who answers.

Comparisons and funding

Vietnam or Thailand?

Both have excellent clinics and both have bad ones. On price, published 2026 comparisons put Vietnam roughly 20 to 40 percent below Thailand for the same implant brands, with the gap widest on full arch work. What actually decides it is not the country, it is whether someone has stood in the clinic, read the quote and will be there when you land. That is what we do, in Vietnam.

Why not just contact a clinic myself?

You can, and plenty of people do and it goes fine. Using us costs you nothing and changes four things: which clinics you see, what the quote has to contain, who is in the room at appointment one, and what happens if something needs fixing after you fly home. If you would rather go direct, our vetting checklist is the same one we use and you are welcome to run it yourself.

Can I use my superannuation to pay for treatment overseas?

Some Australians access superannuation early for dental treatment on compassionate grounds, and the process asks for a written quote from the provider. We are not financial advisers and this is not financial advice: check with your super fund and the ATO first. What we can do is provide the written clinic quote the application asks for.

Do you offer finance or payment plans?

No. We do not offer finance and we take no commission on any funding route. You pay the clinic directly, in person, for work you have agreed to.

About Dental Link

Who are you?

A small local team in Vietnam: Jordan Williams, founder, who presents your case and runs the negotiation, and Mikey Nguyen, Patient Link Advisor, who is your day to day contact from the moment you land. Plus Andrew, Jessy and Tommy your driver. Expats and local Vietnamese, one WhatsApp number for all of them. Dental Link is part of the We Link family: Dental Link, Beauty Link, Hospital Link.

Can I see what other patients said?

Yes, and with their real names. Every review is public on Google and on our Facebook page, written by the patient, not by us or a clinic. We do not hand out patients' contact details, so we will not offer to put you on the phone with one. What we will do on the call is walk you through cases like yours, with the plan, the price and how it went.

Do you get paid more if I pick a particular clinic?

No. Our commission is the same whichever clinic you choose, and it is paid by the clinic, never added to your quote. Jordan's own line on it is that he always encourages patients to speak to a couple of our clinics.

What would make you tell me not to come?

If Vietnam is not the right answer for you, we say so on the call. If you decide not to go, you owe nothing and you will not hear from us again.
