Last written 31 May 2026

Sydney Top Dental is a well-established Ho Chi Minh City implant clinic with a verifiable lead dentist credential (MSc University of Sydney), ZAGA affiliation, and unusually comprehensive tourist logistics including airport pickup, accommodation coordination, and daily transfers. The review pool shows zero verified reviews across 228 total and contains a suspect review from an account bearing the clinic name, which reduces confidence in the rating. A single 2-star review alleges post-deposit drop-off in senior doctor involvement, worth noting for high-spend patients.

Authenticity

5/10

Baseline 7: real clinic, named doctors, specific procedure reviews. -2 medium manipulation: 0 verified of 228, one review from account named after clinic, heavy coordinator-praise pattern.

Treatment quality

6/10

Baseline 7: all-on-6, zygomatic, zirconia described specifically; one infection case handled. -1 manipulation-linked quality uncertainty; one 2-star reports post-deposit doctor bait-and-switch.

Cleanliness

7/10

Baseline 7: multiple reviews cite clean, modern facility; District 1 Vinhomes location implies premium standard. No negative cleanliness reports. Final 7.

Team

7/10

Baseline 7: Dr. Hai holds verifiable MSc Univ of Sydney + ZAGA + ITI memberships. Harvard listed as certificate not degree. Four named doctors. Dr. Long credentials are vague.

Price value

7/10

Baseline 7: many reviews cite strong savings vs Australia/NZ; full-package tourism model adds perceived value. No price list published. Final 7.

Tourist suitability

9/10

Baseline 9: airport pickup, fast-track customs, accommodation/flight booking, daily hotel transfers, English-speaking coordinators, WhatsApp pre-trip, District 1 hotel district. Exceptional.

What comes up well

  • Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai holds verifiable MSc from University of Sydney and ZAGA Center status
  • Full-service tourist logistics: airport pickup, fast-track customs, accommodation, daily transfers
  • Handles complex cases: zygomatic implants, all-on-6, full-arch rehabilitation
  • District 1 Vinhomes Golden River branch suits hotel-based international visitors
  • English-speaking named coordinators praised repeatedly for pre- and post-op support

Points to weigh

  • 0 verified reviews across 228 total; one 5-star review posted by account named after the clinic itself
  • One 2-star review alleges senior doctor absent after deposit; follow-up handled by unqualified assistants
  • Harvard credential marketed as certification without clarifying it is a short-course certificate program

The team at Sydney Top Dental are amazing! My wife and I traveled to Ho Chi Mihn City in March this year and again in September with our group from Aus and NZ. Was a bit frightening to begin with, being in a foreign country, but after the first visit with Kate and Lala by your side, you get to feel like family. They are absolutely amazing and caring people. We are over the moon with our all on…

fours, looks like we will head back to get more work done while we enjoy a great holiday! The flights are cheap, the accommodation is superbly priced at under $800 nzd for 2 weeks incl buffet breakfast every morning. If you are thinking of dental work, I highly recommend Sydney Top Dental purely because of the support you receive. I highly recommend all on fours or six, you will not regret it at all. If you are from NZ, look out for our very own James Kerr - He will help support you and your whānau and you will travel just like that too. Overall it is a great experience.

Hi George, Thank you so much for your kind words, we truly appreciate it 🙏✨ We’re very happy to hear that both of your visits were great experiences and that Kate & Lala helped you feel supported and cared for like family. It’s wonderful knowing you’re over the moon with your All-on-4 results -that smile looks fantastic on you 😄 And thank you for recommending us to others, especially fellow Kiwis. James will be so glad to hear your shout-out! We look forward to welcoming you and your whānau again on your next trip. Wishing you good health and plenty more reasons to smile 😊💙

An amazing experience. I was really anxious at first — for me, the dentist has always been synonymous with the childhood “Murderhouse”: pain, drilling, and those awful black fillings. Because of that, I avoided going for years and ended up losing quite a few teeth. Then I was assigned to Mahi. One day, I saw her with another young patient and she was so warm and caring that I instantly knew I…

was in good hands. From start to smile, the whole process was easy. I had two root canals, two extractions, an implant, and a bone graft for a possible future implant if needed. I had zero pain, felt comfortable the entire time, and Mahi was always there — either holding my hand or explaining everything in simple “Dental for Dummies” language so I was never surprised or confused. Not only was she with me my entire journey - she even organised my transfers to my return flight and fast track application so the wait at the airport through the offical process was smooth, quick and easy. Mahi wasn’t just kind; she was incredibly professional too. I honestly can’t recommend Sydney Top Dental enough — the service alone makes it worth it. I have not mentioned my dentist. He has given me my confidence back. I no longer have to remove a plate every day, no more metal in my mouth. I actually smile now not worried about old teeth that are yellowing and losing dentin. Don’t think about it - make it happen - you will not be disappointed

ad dentist work done. From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel welcome and reassured. The clinic is modern, impeccably clean, and equipped with advanced technology that reflects their commitment to world-class care. The Dentists and the staff were incredibly professional and attentive throughout the implant process. They took the time to explain each step clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I was comfortable at every stage. The procedure itself was smooth and expertly handled, and the results have exceeded my expectations. What truly sets Top Dental apart is their dedication to going above and beyond. They provided thorough aftercare instructions, followed up to check on my recovery, and were always available for support. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for patient wellbeing made the entire experience stress-free and positive. Whether you're a local or visiting Vietnam for dental tourism, I highly recommend Top Dental Vietnam for implants or any dental treatment. Their blend of technical excellence, compassionate care, and affordable pricing makes them a standout choice. Thanks again to LYDIA and for the whole Dental Team. My pics are attached, thanks, Glen

Life-Changing Experience with Sydney Dental Getting dental implants overseas was a huge decision for me. I spent months researching clinics in Australia and abroad, talking to dozens of places on Facebook. Sydney Dental stood out immediately—they were responsive, informative, and genuinely cared, even following up when I went quiet due to doubts. When I arrived in Vietnam, I was blown away by…

by their modern facilities—better than what I’d seen in Australia. The team welcomed me warmly, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident in their expertise. The procedure went smoothly, and they looked after me throughout my stay. Seven months later, I had a minor issue with the prosthetic due to gum shrinkage. I was worried, but Sydney Dental responded instantly: “Get on a plane, and we’ll fix it.” When I arrived, they treated me like a VIP and even replaced the full set to ensure perfection. Special shoutout to Liam, who guided me from day one and became a trusted friend. Sydney Dental is world-class—professional, caring, and committed to excellence. Highly recommend to anyone considering dental work!

At first, I was quite skeptical about having medical treatment done abroad. I live in Germany, and many people I know have gone to Hungary or Turkey to get their teeth done — but Vietnam? A friend of mine, an American who travels frequently to Saigon for work, told me about this clinic. I got in touch, and I was immediately contacted by Kate. After a short initial consultation, we scheduled the…

e appointments in advance, and I reached out again once I had arrived in Saigon. I needed two new crowns and one inlay. The service was truly outstanding. Every day, my wife and I were picked up from our hotel, driven to the clinic, and after each treatment, we were either taken back to the hotel or to any other place in the city we wanted to visit. Kate not only organized and translated everything at the dentist but also acted as a kind of tour guide, giving us great tips about the city — a big thank-you for that! The clinic is super clean and the equipment (as far as I can tell) is brand new. As for the dental work, I’m absolutely satisfied. My dentist here in Germany was also impressed by how well everything turned out. On top of that, the price savings were considerable. I would not hesitate to fly to Saigon again for major dental work and combine it with a nice vacation. Many thanks to the wonderful team — and especially to Kate!

Reply from the clinic

Dear Berk, Reading your review truly made our day, thank you for taking the time to share your journey so thoughtfully 💙 Many patients begin just like you, unsure about choosing Vietnam for dental care, so hearing how your experience turned out even better than expected means a great deal to us. Kate was overjoyed to know you mentioned her. She genuinely enjoys helping each patient feel at ease, whether it’s arranging travel, translating at the clinic, or giving a few local tips for a more enjoyable stay. Knowing that even your dentist in Germany was impressed with the results is the highest compliment we could hope for. We’re so glad you trusted us with your care and we hope Vietnam and your new smile both left a lasting impression 🇻🇳✨
