Questions to ask a clinic before dental implants in Vietnam
These questions to ask a clinic help you before you book dental implants in Vietnam. Ask every clinic the same list, write down the answers, and compare them side by side.
If a clinic will not answer in writing, note that beside its quote.
How to use the list
The list covers price, the implant, the dentist, the trips and what happens once you are home.
- Ask in writing. Send the questions by email or chat so you keep the replies.
- Ask two clinics or more. Use the same list each time.
- Push on vague answers. Ask again, and ask for an example.
- Show your dentist. Bring the list and replies to your own dentist in Australia; they can help you read the plan.
Which treatment you have is not this list's job. That is a choice for you and a dentist who has examined you.
About the price
- Can I have the full price in writing, with each item on its own line?
- Does the price include the scan, the post, the abutment and the crown?
- What would bone grafting or a sinus lift add, if I need it?
- Is the price in US dollars or Vietnamese dong, and when do I pay each part?
- Is there a deposit, and can I get it back if I change my mind?
About the implant
- Which implant brand and model will you use? Can you write it on the quote?
- Is that brand sold in Australia, so my dentist at home can get parts?
- What is the crown or full row made of, and which lab makes it?
About the dentist
- Who will place my implants, and how long have they done implant work?
- Will the same dentist see me on both trips?
- Do you take a 3D scan before you plan surgery?
- Will you ask about my health and the medicines I take before you plan?
About the trips
- How many visits do I need, and how long is each one?
- How long will I be home between visits, and who decides that?
- What happens if I need to change my second trip dates?
About after you go home
- Will you give me my scans, notes and part numbers to take home?
- What does your warranty cover, and for how long? Can I have it in writing?
- Does the warranty pay for flights or a stay if I need to come back?
- Is the warranty void if another dentist works on the implant?
- How do I reach you after I leave, and how fast do you reply?
What good answers look like
A good answer is specific.
- Brand: "We use brand X, model Y, and here is the part number" beats "we use quality implants".
- Price: a good price lists each item and says what could change it.
- Warranty: a good warranty says what it covers, for how long, and who pays to fly back.
Keep every reply in one folder or email thread. Back home, you may need the brand, the part numbers and the warranty again.
Watch for answers that push you to decide fast, offer a large discount for paying today, or skip questions about your health. Those are reasons to slow down.
For costs and the full picture, read the main guide. For timing, see how the two trips work.
