Important โ€” about this score

Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.

This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information โ€” including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.

How the algorithm penalises scores

Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.

These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

Clinics may request a review of their score at any time. Read full methodology โ†’

I was very pleased with my visit to this clinic. It was time to have a tooth extracted because a cyst had grown underneath it. My case was complicated by the fact that I had a ceramic crown on the tooth, which required some work. But Dr. Lina handled it perfectly, and I didn't feel any stress or hopelessness during the procedure. Incidentally, the doctor speaks perfect Russian and explains everything very clearly. I highly recommend this clinic.

My visit to the Lina clinic left me with only positive emotions and a high-quality filling. Firstly, hearing that the doctor not only studied Russian but was a native speaker gave me a sense of peace, knowing that not only would I be able to technically explain my problem but that my emotional concerns would also be taken into account. The treatment was completely comfortable and painless thanks to the professionalism of the staff, modern equipment, and high-quality materials. I'm very happy that, thanks to Dr. Lina, this important question of where to get dental treatment in Ho Chi Minh City was successfully resolved.

My name is Maura Ackland . I visited Lina Dental Clinic from Australia on November 10th 2022. My request was to restore my nice white smile. In a week of gum and teeth treatment my dentist Lina did indeed store my smile. Lina and her staff were professional, gentle and caring. I am thrilled with my new smile and at a very affordable cost. I would recommend Lina Dental Clinic to my family and friends . Regards. Maura

The dentist doesn't even understand how the job is supposed to be done - how to treat customers with kindness and compassion. She is clearly behind the times.

Don't go to this place under any circumstances. It's not worth it for yourself. Literally and figuratively. The owner thinks she's earned all the money in the world and no longer understands how to work with clients. She constantly makes excuses and blames the client, saying it's their fault they're incompetent. Don't go there, I REPEAT.

She ripped off my bridge, picked my tooth, gave up halfway through, and said she wouldn't treat me. I'm shocked. ๐Ÿ˜จ โ€ฆ

The in-office whitening procedure uses advanced light-activated systems to lift stubborn stains from coffee, tea, or aging, delivering a noticeably brighter smile in a single 60-minute appointment.
