Your Complete Guide to Dental Tourism in Phu Quoc (2026)
Everything international patients need to know about dental tourism in Phu Quoc: listed clinics, real 2026 prices, visa-free entry, and how to combine treatment with an island holiday.
Your Complete Guide to Dental Tourism in Phu Quoc (2026)
Foreigners arriving directly in Phu Quoc can stay up to 30 days without a visa, and the island has two dental clinics listed on SmileJet, both in Duong Dong. This guide covers the two clinics, their published prices, treatment timelines and how to plan a trip that combines dental work with an island holiday.

Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and Bali are all popular dental tourism destinations with far more clinics than Phu Quoc. Phu Quoc's case is different: it combines a short visa-free stay with an island holiday.
1. 30-Day Visa Exemption Arriving in Phu Quoc
Foreigners arriving directly in Phu Quoc can stay up to 30 days without a visa under the island's special visa exemption. Rules change, so check the current rules for your passport and routing before you book.
Thirty days covers most single-trip treatments, including crowns, veneers and the first stage of implant treatment.
2. A Relaxed Recovery Setting
After implant surgery or a full-arch case, the usual advice is to rest for 48 to 72 hours. On Phu Quoc you can do that near the beach. Duong Dong, where both clinics are, is the main town, and Long Beach runs south of it, so you can stay close to your appointments.
3. Things to Do for Travelling Companions
Many dental patients travel with a partner, adult child or friend. Phu Quoc is a holiday island, so a companion has beaches, restaurants and day trips to fill the time while you are in the chair. An Thoi, at the south of the island, is about 25 km from Duong Dong.
2026 Cost Comparison: What You Pay at Home vs Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc prices below come from the two clinics: Tri Hao's own price list and Phu Quoc Luxury's website and quotes. They are indicative; only a written quote for your own case applies. Conversions use SmileJet's 23 Oct 2026 rates and are rounded. Home prices appear only where SmileJet has a published source; otherwise, compare with a written quote from your own dentist.
Table 1: Single Dental Implant (trồng răng implant)
For crowns (bọc răng sứ), the Australian Dental Association's 2022 fee survey, reported by Choice, put the average crown at A$1,678; at Tri Hao a crown is about A$220 to 415, a quarter or less of that. See our dental crowns guide for the crown tiers and warranties.

Tri Hao's All-on-4 price is 200,000,000 VND per jaw with Megagen (implants, abutments and all-ceramic teeth), or 220,000,000 VND with Kontact or Anyridge.

Listed clinics on SmileJet
SmileJet lists two dental clinics in Phu Quoc, both in Duong Dong and about 1 km apart. Both are featured partners on SmileJet, which is a commercial listing relationship and not a clinical endorsement. SmileJet books either clinic on WhatsApp or Messenger in English, Russian or Vietnamese, at no charge to the patient. Neither clinic publishes which languages its dentists speak.
The Phu Quoc Visa-Free Advantage: Everything You Need to Know
The island's visa exemption makes Phu Quoc simple to reach for a short treatment trip. Here is what it means in practice.
Who Qualifies
Foreigners arriving directly in Phu Quoc can stay up to 30 days without a visa under the island's special exemption. Rules change, so check the current rules for your passport before you book.
The Direct Arrival Requirement
The exemption is tied to arriving directly in Phu Quoc. If your route passes through another Vietnamese airport first, check whether the exemption still applies to your routing before you book.
What Happens at PQC Immigration
You arrive at Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC). Have your passport and travel details ready, and check the current entry requirements before you fly.
The Mainland Restriction
The exemption is for Phu Quoc. If you also want to spend time in mainland Vietnam, for example a few days in Ho Chi Minh City, check what visa you need before you leave home.
Flights into PQC
Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc is about a 1-hour flight. International routes and schedules into PQC change, so check current options with airlines when you plan your dates.
Treatment Timelines: How Long Do You Need to Stay?
These are typical timelines; ask your clinic for its own schedule before booking flights.
| Procedure | Typical Stay | Schedule | Return Visit Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single dental implant | about 8 days | Day 1: scan and consultation. Day 2: implant placement. Days 3 to 7: rest and a check-up. Day 8: stitches out and depart. | Usually, for the crown a few months later |
| Porcelain veneers (6 to 10 teeth) | about 2 weeks | Consultation and shade selection, preparation and temporaries, then try-in and bonding once the lab work is back. Tri Hao's lab in Ho Chi Minh City takes 3 to 5 days, and the clinic suggests allowing two weeks. | Usually not |
| All-on-4 full arch | ask the clinic | Assessment and imaging, surgery, recovery and fitting. Ask Tri Hao for its schedule for your case. | Often, for the final teeth; ask the clinic |
| Smile makeover (veneers, whitening, crowns) | about 2 weeks | Exam and planning, preparation, try-ins once the lab work is back, then final bonding. | Usually not |
Teeth whitening (tẩy trắng răng) can be added to most of the schedules above: Tri Hao prices laser whitening at 2,000,000 VND for three sessions and Phu Quoc Luxury at 2,100,000 VND. See our teeth whitening in Phu Quoc guide.
Detailed planning checklists are in our guide: How to Plan Your Dental Trip to Phu Quoc 2026.
Both clinics also do root canal treatment (điều trị tủy): Tri Hao charges 1,500,000 VND for a front tooth up to 4,000,000 VND for a molar, and Phu Quoc Luxury 500,000 to 3,000,000 VND. See our root canal treatment in Phu Quoc guide.
Safety Checklist: 5 Things to Check Before You Book
Before committing to any dental clinic abroad, check the following:
- Operating licence: Vietnamese dental clinics are licensed by the provincial health department. Phu Quoc has been a special zone of An Giang province since Vietnam's 2025 reorganisation (it was part of Kien Giang before). Ask the clinic for its licence details.
- Implant brand documentation: Ask the clinic to confirm in writing which implant brand and system will be placed (for example Megagen or Neodent at Tri Hao) and to give you the implant details after placement, so any future dentist knows exactly what you have.
- Imaging before surgery: Ask how the clinic plans implant placement. Phu Quoc Luxury lists cone beam CT and panoramic X-ray; ask Tri Hao what imaging it uses for your case.
- Written post-op instructions: You need written aftercare instructions you can read. Confirm the clinic will provide them in your language, or ask SmileJet to help translate.
- Emergency contact: Confirm who you contact if you develop significant swelling after hours, and how quickly they respond.

Visa and Entry
As covered above: foreigners arriving directly in Phu Quoc can stay up to 30 days without a visa. Rules change, so check the current rules before booking, especially if you are adding mainland Vietnam.
Currency
Vietnam's currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND). Both clinics price in VND; at SmileJet's 23 Oct 2026 rate, US$1 is about 25,831 VND. Ask the clinic how it accepts payment before your appointment.
Best Time to Visit
Weather on the island varies through the year, with a wetter season. Check the forecast for your dates; your dental appointments are the same either way.
Accommodation Areas and Clinic Distances
| Area | Where it is | Distance to Clinics |
|---|---|---|
| Duong Dong Town | The island's main town | Both clinics are here, about 1 km apart |
| Long Beach (Bai Truong) | Runs south of Duong Dong | Close, depending on where along the beach |
| An Thoi | South of the island | About 25 km from Duong Dong |
Recommendation for dental patients: Stay in Duong Dong or along Long Beach. Being close to both clinics reduces stress on appointment days.
Getting Around the Island
- Taxis and ride-hailing: the simplest way to reach appointments. Ask your hotel to book a car if you need to be on time.
- Hotel transport: ask reception whether your hotel runs a shuttle into Duong Dong.
- Motorbike rental: not recommended for dental patients, especially after surgery. Wait until your dentist says you have recovered.
What to Do During Your Recovery Stay
Plan your days around how you feel and your dentist's advice. As a general guide:
| Recovery Stage | Activities |
|---|---|
| Same Day (post-procedure) | Rest at your hotel. Ice packs as directed. Soft food only. |
| Days 2 to 4 | Gentle walks in Duong Dong or along Long Beach. Soft local food such as pho, congee and noodles. No swimming or submersion. |
| Days 5 to 7 | More time on the beach. A calm-weather boat day from An Thoi if your dentist agrees. |
| Any Day | Sightseeing by taxi or private car, sunsets, cafes and restaurants. |
| Avoid Until Cleared | Scuba diving after implant surgery. Vigorous snorkelling. Motorbike riding. High-impact activities. Alcohol in excess, which can slow healing. |
For veneer and crown cases with no surgery, restrictions are lighter. Ask your treating dentist for personal guidance. For a day-by-day itinerary template, see Smile Makeover in Phu Quoc 2026.
