UMP Dental Faculty Clinic is the clinical training and patient care facility operated by the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City (UMP). Located on the university campus in District 5, this clinic serves a dual purpose: providing high-quality dental treatment to the public while serving as the primary clinical training environment for dental students at one of Vietnam's most prestigious medical universities. Patients benefit from access to a broad range of dental services delivered under the supervision of experienced academic clinicians.
The University of Medicine and Pharmacy Ho Chi Minh City is one of the oldest and most respected medical and pharmaceutical universities in Vietnam. Its Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology trains future dentists to a nationally and internationally recognised standard, combining strong theoretical foundations with extensive hands-on clinical practice. The faculty's clinical department provides a wide range of treatments to registered patients as part of this educational mission.
General dental services at UMP Dental Faculty Clinic include comprehensive oral health examinations, dental X-ray diagnostics, professional scaling and polishing, fluoride treatments, and preventive counselling. Early detection and prevention are emphasised throughout the faculty's clinical curriculum, and patients benefit from thorough and methodical examination processes that reflect the academic rigour of the training environment.
Restorative dentistry covers cavity treatment with composite and amalgam fillings, dental crown fabrication in ceramic or metal-ceramic materials, root canal treatment, and removable denture construction. Each procedure is carried out by dental students under the close supervision of experienced faculty dentists, ensuring that clinical work meets defined quality standards before it is presented to patients.
Oral surgery services including extractions and surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth are performed in the oral surgery department. Paediatric dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, and oral pathology are handled by dedicated departmental teams, reflecting the comprehensive specialist training structure of a full dental faculty.
Orthodontic treatment at the clinic is provided by the orthodontics department, where postgraduate trainees and supervised students manage cases involving fixed braces, removable appliances, and functional orthodontic devices. Periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing, surgical pocket management, and maintenance therapy for patients with gum disease, is a key focus of the periodontics department.
The clinic serves a wide patient population including residents of Ho Chi Minh City seeking affordable, high-quality dental care, patients referred by general dental practitioners for specialist assessment, and patients requiring complex multi-disciplinary treatment plans. Treatment fees at university dental clinics in Vietnam are generally accessible, making UMP Dental Faculty Clinic an attractive option for patients who require specialist-level care at reasonable cost.
For international dental patients visiting Ho Chi Minh City, the university clinic setting provides the reassurance of a rigorously supervised clinical environment, academic-level diagnostic thoroughness, and access to specialist expertise across all dental disciplines within a single institution.
