Why Americans Are Flying to Hanoi for Dental Work in 2026
1. A published price list
Picasso Dental Clinic publishes one price list in VND for both its Hanoi branches, so you can check the figure for a crown or implant before you ask for a quote.
2. Implant brands Americans already know
Picasso lists Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Neodent. You can ask your US dentist about any of them before you go.
3. A clinic that works in English
Picasso works in English and Vietnamese at both Hanoi branches, and offers video consultations before you travel.

Pricing a Full-Mouth Case From the Clinic List
All-on-4 on both jaws is 300,000,000 VND with Neodent (about US$11,620) or 440,000,000 VND with Nobel Biocare or Straumann (about US$17,030), in both cases before the two final bridges. Picasso quotes and charges the permanent zirconia bridge separately and does not publish its price, so ask for it in writing before comparing. Picasso describes two trips: 5 to 7 days, then 3 to 5 days around six months later for the final bridge. Flights and accommodation are extra.
Flights from Major US Hubs to Hanoi (HAN)
You land at Noi Bai International Airport; the clinic says the Old Quarter branch is about 30 minutes away by car or Grab. Routes from the US involve at least one connection, and options change by season, so check current flights with airlines. Allow time to recover from the journey before any surgery.
Visa for US Passport Holders
Most visitors use Vietnam's e-visa. Durations and fees change, so check the current rules for a US passport on the official government portal before booking.
US Insurance, Medicare & Paying in Hanoi
Original Medicare (Parts A & B)
Original Medicare generally does not cover routine dental care, at home or abroad.
Medicare Advantage plans
Some plans include dental benefits, usually tied to their own network. Ask your plan in writing whether treatment abroad is covered.
Private dental PPO plans
Some plans reimburse out-of-network claims. Ask what documents they need: usually an itemised invoice in English, procedure descriptions and proof of payment. Picasso takes VND cash, Vietnamese bank transfer, Visa or Mastercard.
Implant Brands Americans Already Know, Available in Hanoi
- Nobel Biocare and Straumann: 40,000,000 VND complete (about US$1,550); Straumann BLX 45,000,000 VND.
- Neodent: 30,000,000 VND complete (about US$1,160).
Picasso says implant warranties are the manufacturer's and it hands over the serial numbers. Keep them; any dentist can identify your implant from them later.
Accreditation, Dentists & the Real Quality Picture
Accreditation and regulation
Dental clinics and dentists in Vietnam are licensed by the health authorities. SmileJet makes no hospital accreditation claim for either Picasso branch.
Who will treat you
Picasso no longer publishes its dentists' names. It says it assigns each case to a dentist by procedure, not by branch, so ask who will treat you and about their training before you book.
What to look for, specifically
- A CBCT scan before implant surgery (Picasso says it takes one before every implant).
- A written, itemised quote and treatment plan.
- The implant brand and serial numbers in writing.
- Copies of all scans to take home.

Jet Lag, Recovery & What to Pack from Home
Managing jet lag before surgery
Plan a day or two to adjust before implant surgery or long appointments. Tell the dentist about any sleep aids you take.
What to bring from the US
- A list of your medications and conditions, and your dentist's X-rays.
- Any prescription medicine in its original packaging.
- Your insurer's claim form, if you plan to claim.
Recovery essentials in Hanoi
Soft food, a quiet room and a short ride to the clinic. Follow your dentist's instructions on flying, exercise and alcohol.
When American Patients Should Go
Hanoi winters (roughly December to February) are cool, summers (roughly May to September) hot, humid and wet; spring and autumn are milder. Tết, in January or February, slows the city, so ask about clinic hours near it.
