Hanoi has a large number of private dental clinics, from small family practices to multi-chair centres with their own labs. Many of the clinics that treat international patients are in the central districts.

Planning your trip

Pick the clinic first and the hotel second. Most treatments involve several short appointments over a week, so being close to the clinic matters more than being close to the sights. Ask the clinic for a day-by-day schedule before you book a room.

Where to stay

The Old Quarter and the area around Hoàn Kiếm Lake have the most hotels and are close to many clinics. Tây Hồ (West Lake) is quieter, with serviced apartments that suit longer stays, such as an implant placement week.

Getting there and around

Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) has direct flights from many Asian hubs. Taxis and ride-hailing cars from the airport take about 45 to 60 minutes to the centre. In town, Grab and similar apps are the easiest way to reach appointments.

After treatment

Hanoi food is soft-diet friendly: phở, bún and cháo (rice porridge) are easy to eat after implant surgery or extractions. Avoid very hot soup for the first day if your mouth is numb.

Frequently asked questions

Which part of Hanoi should I stay in?

Stay close to your clinic. Traffic is slow at rush hour, so a 10-minute walk beats a 40-minute taxi ride the morning after surgery.

Can I combine treatment with a trip to Ha Long Bay or Sa Pa?

Yes, but put the trip between appointments, not straight after surgery. Ask the clinic which days you're free.
