Important — 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 — 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.

Why Choose Premier Dental in Ho Chi Minh City?

Premier Dental is Ho Chi Minh City's pioneering implant and periodontics clinic, led by Dr. Albert Viet Le — Vietnam's only US and Australian board-certified periodontist. Celebrating over 20 years of practice, the clinic combines international credentials with digital technology to serve patients from across the globe seeking reliable, premium dental care in Vietnam.
Premier Dental stands as one of Ho Chi Minh City's most credentialed dental clinics, built on more than two decades of clinical leadership in implants, periodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. It was among the first implant centres established in Vietnam, and its reputation for international-standard care has only grown since. Founded over 20 years ago, Premier Dental began as the vision of pioneering Vietnamese dentists and has evolved under the current leadership of Dr. Albert Viet Le, an Australian-born periodontist and Managing Director. The clinic operates multiple locations across Ho Chi Minh City, including a well-regarded branch in the Thao Dien area of District 2, catering to the city's large expatriate community. The clinic's flagship strength is dental implants and periodontal treatment. Dr. Albert Viet Le holds a dental degree with honours from Melbourne University (2003), postgraduate training in Implant Dentistry and Prosthodontics from Melbourne University, and a specialist qualification in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry from Columbia University, New York (2016). He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology — the only such specialist currently practising in Vietnam. His case history includes over 2,000 periodontal cases, 1,000+ dental implant procedures, and 1,000 porcelain prosthetic cases. Beyond implants, Premier Dental offers veneers, teeth whitening, crowns, bridges, Invisalign, root canal therapy, and paediatric dentistry. The team speaks fluent English and uses the latest technology including 3D scanning and digital X-rays. Clinical standards are guided by Dr. Le's international training, and the team is supplemented by specialist implant surgeon Dr. Tu Hien, who has trained thousands of dentists worldwide. The multilingual staff ensures patients from English-speaking countries feel informed and at ease throughout their treatment journey. Patients consistently describe the clinic as immaculate and modern. Post-treatment care includes follow-up phone calls to check on patient wellbeing — a small but telling sign of the team's commitment to outcomes rather than volume. International patient coordination services are available for those visiting Vietnam specifically for treatment. The Thao Dien branch is situated in District 2, one of Ho Chi Minh City's most expat-friendly neighbourhoods, with easy access to restaurants, hotels, and transport connections. District 1 is also served, placing the clinic within reach of the city's main hotel district and tourist areas. SmileJet patients choose Premier Dental for one clear reason: it offers the credibility of Western board certification at Vietnamese prices. For patients seeking implants or complex periodontal work who want the reassurance of a US and Australian-accredited specialist, Premier Dental is among the most trustworthy options in all of Southeast Asia.

I experienced a cracked tooth shortly after arriving in Ho Chi Minh. I booked into Premier Dental who gave me a 9am appointment the next working day. The service was unbelievably good. They have a spotlessly clean clinic with fantastic professional staff. They have all the necessary modern equipment onsite. The dentist was clearly very skilled and experienced. He spoke really good English but an extremely kind and helpful young lady accompanied me throughout my treatment anyway just to ensure I understood everything and didnt get lost in the building. She even gave me some sightseeing tips. I had an x ray, ct scan, composite filling, and amalgam filing for the equivalent of 43 gbp. The dentist gave me another treatment option, which he felt would be better, but this would've meant going back in 2 weeks time, which I couldn't do as Id already have left Ho Chi Minh. The clinic messaged me later in the day and also the next day to check everything was ok. There was no attempt to upsell any unnecessary treatments. Premier Dental was so much better than my own dentist back in the UK that I'm seriously considering returning to Vietnam in the future to have some cosmetic procedures done. If I could give 6 stars out of 5 I absolutely would. An amazing experience especially for such a low price. Ty to Rachel and everyone at Premier Dental!

I recently visited Premier Dental Clinic for a teeth cleaning and filling, and I had a very positive experience. From the reception team to the assistants and the dentist, everyone was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Dr. Terence did an excellent job and made me feel at ease throughout the procedure. I especially appreciate his dental assistant, Loan, who ensured I was comfortable the entire time. As someone who usually feels anxious about dental visits, this experience was truly reassuring 🥹 The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and highly reliable. I’m very happy I found this place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality dental care.

We booked for a cleaning recently and had a really good experience. They were on time, and professional from the start. Dr. Tri was professional as he explained what he was doing without overcomplicating anything. The cleaning itself took about an hour and was pretty comfortable overall. Pricing is very reasonable too depending on your teeth condition. My partner also went in for a cleaning and a filling. She usually gets quite nervous with dental visits, but her doctor and the assistant were really patient and reassuring the whole time, which made a big difference for her. All in all, a solid experience for both of us.

I had multiple consultations with the two surgeons Dr Celine and Dr Albert prior to having work done. They were very patient and genuinely interested in collaborating to come up with the best solution to address my tricky dental issue. I definitely recommend Premier Dental, they really want the best for you and are committed to a very high standard of care.

They were amazing! I had a dental check-up and clean. Staff were amazing (thank you Kate, dentist Timmy and Nurse Hoa). They were friendly, kind and gentle. All speak English which was great. Clinic was clean, modern and spacious! Response times were so prompt too! I inquired the night before around 7pm and they slotted me in the next morning! I was so impressed with that.

I’m on my fourth trip to Ho Chi Minh City, and this is my second visit to Premier Dental. I returned because I was very happy with Dr. Patrick Luu during my first visit, when he did my in-clinic teeth bleaching and filling, and the results were excellent. On my first trip, I had been assigned a female dentist for scaling and polishing, but she didn’t speak much English. I had to rely on Google Translate, which made it difficult to explain exactly what I wanted. The Premier Dental team noticed I was struggling and quickly reassigned me to Dr. Patrick Luu, which made the experience much smoother and more comfortable. This trip, I came back for scaling and polishing, a filling, and new retainers. I mentioned that my previous retainers from my home country were flimsy, and I appreciated how the clinic accommodated my needs with sturdier, better-fitting retainers. I highly recommend Dr. Patrick Luu to anyone who needs a dentist who can communicate clearly in English and understands your needs. Many thanks to the Premier Dental team for their professionalism, care, and attention throughout my visits.

Was told I needed a root canal on a tooth or the infection would spread to my bone with serious consequences. The root canal was performed which took 3 appointments of intense drilling. Still was feeling pain when I returned to USA. Went to an endodontist at home. Based on a CT scan the endodontist said the root canal was so bad she could not save the tooth. The roots had been perforated and the dentist was actually drilling into the bone. Had to have the tooth extracted. Now dealing with infection and need an implant at considerable cost and with a lot of pain. The problem is dentists in Vietnam think they can perform a procedure they are not qualified to do.

I received only professional advice and excellent care at Premier Dental. They were very accommodating to my needs for veneers, and I’m so thankful for the results. The staff were kind and caring throughout the process. As an expat, it was especially comforting to experience such honesty in both their services and financial plan. Highly recommended!
