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.

My experience with the dentist and team was so good. I travelled from Europe, while I was there they went above and beyond to help me and my issues with a new implant. I received a very disappointing treatment in Australia . The team at premier dental have resolved my issues and mentioned should I have any issues I can come back to a review. Iโ€™m so happy with my smile. One more thing my flight out was Monday and the dentist and his team stayed late Sunday with the ceramic to make sure my abutment and implant was finished onn time for my flight Monday. They really do care here.

I have been a client of Premier Dental in Thao Dien for about two years now, and I couldnโ€™t recommend them more highly. During this time Iโ€™ve had quite a bit of dental work done, including wisdom teeth removal, a crown replacement, and several cavities treated. Every experience has been excellent. Dr. Wilson has been an absolute gem โ€” professional, skilled, and always making sure you feel comfortable and well informed. The receptionist is also incredibly warm, helpful, and kind, which makes every visit pleasant from the moment you walk in. The prices are very reasonable for the level of care and the quality of the facilities they offer. It truly feels like top-level dental care without the inflated price tag. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dental clinic in Thao Dien.

One of the best experiences with dentists in my life. They speak English better than I do and do their job very well. The price is very reasonable (50 usd for 2 fillings). Brilliant service.

My experience was so boring that I don't see any 5-star reviews. This place used to be Ki Dental or something, then changed its name. I won't come back here, and I won't recommend it to anyone: - The price is very expensive, not cheap, and the service is half-hearted. - The receptionist sitting outside the table is also bad. - The doctor's examination is not gentle, he is so rude when he works in people's mouths. The nurse doesn't know what he's doing, he's clumsy. The doctor does it quickly so he can go to another customer. While he's examining me, the receptionist runs in to ask the doctor's opinion about another case. - When you come here, you have to change their slippers, which is disgusting. It's like a spa. So if you come here, wear regular slippers, because you have to leave your slippers outside. - The toilet is tiny and cramped - like a public toilet. There's no private toilet, but you wash your hands and use the restroom together, it's public, unhygienic. - The clinic has a fishy smell of metal, very unpleasant. Nah. Don't come here.

I received wonderful treatment here during my vacation; the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and highly competent and professional. I thank Dr. Jane, her assistants, the management, and everyone on this wonderful team. In my 74 years, I have never experienced such excellent and highly professional treatment. I had a split tooth extracted and a double crown fitted, and I am absolutely delighted with the result. Thank you so much to everyone on this premier dental team! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™

The service was quite good from the reception: the staff were prepared and remembered the guests' names, there was Milo/cereal drink, a sandpit and even a playroom for children. I had two fillings and a wisdom tooth extracted - and I can say this was the best tooth extraction I've ever had - quick and smooth, painless even after the anesthetic wore off. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ The dentist was gentle, attentive and took very good care of the patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that Premier Dental Thao Dien was Vietnam's first dental implant center? โ–พ
Being Vietnam's first dental implant center means that Premier Dental Thao Dien has been performing implant procedures since before implant dentistry became widely available across Vietnam, giving the clinic a head start of more than two decades in developing implant-specific protocols, specialist skills, and patient outcomes data. Clinics that have been placing implants the longest have seen the full lifecycle of their early cases, which means they understand long-term maintenance needs, failure patterns, and the refinements that improve longevity in ways that newer clinics simply cannot yet know. This history is a meaningful differentiator for patients considering a significant investment in implant treatment.
What does a 20-year implant track record mean for patients choosing Premier Dental Thao Dien? โ–พ
A 20-year implant track record at Premier Dental Thao Dien means the clinic can speak from direct experience about how its implants perform over time, not just quote published study data. The clinical team has managed the full arc of implant cases: initial placement, prosthetic restoration, long-term maintenance, and where necessary, remediation. This depth of experience allows the team to make more accurate predictions about what will and will not work for a given patient's anatomy, bone quality, and lifestyle factors. Patients benefit from this accumulated judgment, particularly in cases where the straightforward approach is not the optimal one.
Why is the Thao Dien District 2 location of Premier Dental convenient for expatriates? โ–พ
Thao Dien in District 2 is one of Ho Chi Minh City's most established expatriate residential areas, home to a high concentration of international schools, Western-style restaurants, and foreign-language services. Premier Dental Thao Dien's location within this neighbourhood means that expat patients can attend appointments without navigating the more congested parts of central HCMC, and the surrounding area offers comfortable waiting environments for family members accompanying patients. For expats already living in Thao Dien or the surrounding An Phu and Binh An areas, Premier Dental is a short-ride option for routine and specialist dental care.
Is Premier Dental Thao Dien a full-service clinic or purely an implant specialist? โ–พ
Premier Dental Thao Dien operates as a full-service dental clinic with a particular depth of expertise in implant dentistry. In addition to implants, the clinic offers general dentistry including check-ups, fillings, and root canal treatment, as well as cosmetic procedures such as whitening and veneers, and orthodontic options for adults. This full-service model means patients do not need to attend a separate clinic for preliminary work such as extractions, bone grafts, or pre-implant restorations: all stages of a complex treatment plan can be managed under one roof by a coordinated clinical team.
Which implant brands does Premier Dental Thao Dien use? โ–พ
Premier Dental Thao Dien uses internationally recognised implant systems from established manufacturers with documented long-term clinical data. The clinic does not use unbranded or locally manufactured implant components, as material traceability and manufacturer support for complications are important considerations for patients who will be returning to their home country after treatment. Patients are advised to ask the clinical team which specific implant system is being proposed for their case and to note the brand and model number in their treatment records so that any future dentist can access the relevant technical specifications.
Does Premier Dental Thao Dien have CAD/CAM technology on-site? โ–พ
Premier Dental Thao Dien uses computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology to support precise crown, bridge, and implant restoration fabrication. CAD/CAM allows digital impressions to be taken instead of traditional putty moulds, which patients typically find more comfortable, and enables restorations to be designed with greater precision in fit and occlusion. Where same-day or next-day restorations are indicated, CAD/CAM capability significantly reduces the time between tooth preparation and final fitting, which is particularly valuable for dental tourists managing a tight visit schedule.
Does Premier Dental Thao Dien offer veneers, and what is the process? โ–พ
Yes. Premier Dental Thao Dien provides porcelain veneer treatment as part of its cosmetic dentistry offering. The process begins with a consultation where the dentist assesses tooth health, discusses the desired aesthetic outcome, and confirms that veneers are the appropriate solution. A digital or photographic smile preview may be used to help the patient visualise the result before preparation begins. The teeth are then lightly prepared, temporaries are placed, and the final veneers are fabricated using quality ceramics. The fitting appointment involves checking the shade, shape, and bite before final bonding. Most veneer cases can be completed within a single week-long visit.
What orthodontic options does Premier Dental Thao Dien offer adult patients? โ–พ
Premier Dental Thao Dien offers orthodontic treatment for adults including clear aligner systems and conventional braces where clinically indicated. For adults who are self-conscious about visible orthodontic appliances, clear aligners are the most popular choice, providing gradual tooth movement with removable trays that are virtually invisible. The clinic's orthodontic team will assess whether the patient's case is suitable for aligners or whether fixed braces will produce a better outcome. Adults who began orthodontic treatment in their teenage years and have experienced relapse are a common patient group at Premier Dental Thao Dien.
What does 'premier' quality mean in practice at Premier Dental Thao Dien? โ–พ
At Premier Dental Thao Dien, premier quality reflects a commitment to using premium materials, maintaining up-to-date equipment, employing experienced specialists, and managing each case with thorough diagnostic discipline rather than rushing to treatment. In practice this means that patients receive a comprehensive clinical assessment before any treatment is recommended, that alternative approaches are discussed where they exist, and that the clinical team is open to questions about the rationale behind each recommendation. The clinic's 20-plus years of operation create accountability to a standard that the clinic's reputation depends on maintaining.
How does Premier Dental Thao Dien manage pre-trip consultations for international patients? โ–พ
Premier Dental Thao Dien accepts X-rays, dental records, and photographs submitted by email or through its patient portal before a patient books travel to Vietnam. The clinical team reviews these materials and provides a preliminary assessment of the treatment likely needed, an indicative cost range, and a recommended visit duration. This pre-trip consultation allows patients to arrive with a clear understanding of what to expect, rather than discovering the full scope of their treatment only after landing in HCMC. Patients are advised to treat the pre-trip assessment as a starting point: the in-person examination may refine the plan based on findings that are only visible in person or on fresh X-rays.
