Premier Dental is one of the most credentialed dental clinics in Southeast Asia for tourist patients, anchored by a Columbia-trained ABP Diplomate periodontist and a large English-speaking team across two HCMC locations. Cleanliness and tourist logistics are consistently praised across a diverse review pool with genuine negatives surviving. One substantiated root canal failure involving bone perforation warrants caution for complex endodontic cases, but implant and periodontal outcomes draw strong repeat visitors from Australia, the US, and the UK.

From the moment I arrived to the second I left I was made to feel that it was all about my comfort and health. Very reasonably priced for the high-end quality of the staff and equipment.

My go-to dentist for about 4 years. I have had a range of procedures done there (cleanings, fillings, crowns and a root canal) and all went smoothly.

After 1 year of getting porcelain crowns and root canal treatment here, I revised my review. Initially, the work was very good, the doctor was conscientious. Up to now, the doctor's work is still ok, but the billing process is too vague. …

As an old customer, it has been a long time since I had the opportunity to come back to have my teeth done by Dr. Hoang, but I still received attentive care. I think his working motto is to be careful, meticulous, minimize pain, and save the most for the patient... I feel very secure when he takes care of me. Thank you and Nha Viet
