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.

Hanoi vs US Dental Prices: What the Clinic Publishes

Picasso's price list for both Hanoi branches ("Updated July 2026", read 26 Oct 2026), converted at about US$1 = 25,830 VND and rounded. Indicative only; only a written quote for your own case applies.

SmileJet does not publish US fees. Ask your own dentist for a written quote for the same work and compare line by line.

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.

The Two Hanoi Clinics Listed on SmileJet

SmileJet lists two dental clinics in Hanoi, both branches of Picasso Dental Clinic. Both are featured partners on SmileJet: a commercial listing relationship, not a clinical endorsement. The clinic says it has treated more than 70,000 patients from 62 countries.

Picasso Dental Clinic Hanoi (Old Quarter Branch)

16 Phố Châu Long, Ba Đình ward, about 10 minutes from Hoan Kiem Lake (clinic). Open every day 8:30 to 18:00. The founding branch, opened 2013; the clinic says every Picasso treatment is done here, including All-on-4. See the Old Quarter branch.

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.
