Dental Costs Send Western Patients to Vietnam for 80% Savings
Hanoi – September 23, 2026 -- Greenfield Dental, a clinic in Hanoi, Vietnam, has seen international patient volume grow over 300% since 2025, as rising dental costs in Western countries push patients abroad for care.
Western dental prices keep climbing while Vietnam holds steady
In the United Kingdom, the majority of dental practices have stopped accepting new NHS patients, and private fees have risen over 20% since 2022. In Australia and the United States, implant costs increase 8% to 12% annually, pushing full-arch procedures out of reach for many uninsured patients and retirees. Vietnam, by contrast, maintains annual price increases of only 3% to 5%, with patient savings of up to 80% on implants. The country now ranks as the second most popular dental tourism destination for Australians and among the top three in the Asia-Pacific region.
