Vietnam's largest city and one of Asia's fastest-growing dental destinations. Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, draws patients from Australia in particular. We track 131 dental clinics here. Choose your date, pick your procedure and get a pre-estimate in a few clicks.
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's economic capital, a dense, energetic city of scooters, street food and French-era buildings on the Saigon River. Its dental sector has grown quickly on the back of patients from Australia and the Vietnamese diaspora, and its prices are among the lowest of the major Asian dental destinations.
Vietnam's estimated ranges for crowns, veneers and All-on-4 sit below Thailand and Malaysia, which is the main reason patients make the trip. A written plan still matters more than the headline price.
Our October 2026 scan found 131 dental clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, from small family practices to large centres in District 1 and District 3 that work mainly with foreign patients.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is inside the city, only about 7 km from District 1. Depending on traffic the ride takes roughly 20 to 45 minutes.
Ben Thanh Market, the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office are all walkable from District 1, and the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta are classic day trips.

Patients fly into Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), which sits within the city about 7 km north of District 1. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easy way in.
Documents needed: A passport valid well beyond your travel dates (many countries ask for at least six months). Entry and visa rules for Vietnam depend on your nationality and change from time to time, so check the current entry and visa requirements for your passport with the official government source before you book. Vietnam issues electronic visas through its official government portal, and visa exemptions apply to some nationalities; use only the official site, as look-alike agency sites charge extra. Read your own government's travel advisory for Vietnam as well.

Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon, is Vietnam's largest city and its commercial centre. Dental tourism here has grown quickly, driven largely by patients from Australia and by Vietnamese living abroad who return for treatment, and prices sit in the lowest of the Asian tiers we publish.
We track 131 dental clinics in Ho Chi Minh City in our free, independent ranking. The clinics most used to foreign patients cluster in District 1 and District 3, with others in Thao Dien, the expatriate area across the river, and in the newer districts.
Low prices make it even more important to compare carefully. Ask for the implant brand, the crown material and the lab, the number of visits and what happens if something needs adjusting after you fly home. Check visa or e-visa requirements for your passport and your government's travel advisory before you book.
At Molar City we have guided patients since 2007, starting in Los Algodones, Mexico, the world's best-known dental destination. We are an independent dental tourism platform — not a clinic, and we do not provide medical care: we compare, verify and guide. We apply the same standard in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, as in every destination we cover.
