Vietnam dental tourism by audience
Audience-specific guidance: pricing in your home currency, flights from your home cities, visa for your passport, and which Vietnamese city tends to suit patients from your country.
Vietnam dental tourism serves six primary origin markets: Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Vietnamese diaspora (Viet Kieu). Each group faces different flight routings, currency conversions, visa starting points, and savings profiles. Australians flying direct from Sydney save roughly 75% on dental implants versus home prices (about A$11,400 on a full implant set). New Zealanders save about NZ$13,000 on the same case routing via Singapore, and British patients save around 70% on UK private dental prices.

Read full guideWhat each audience guide covers
Each audience guide goes beyond generic advice. You will find the specific flight routes from your home city, your passport visa requirements, your home country prices for comparison, and which Vietnamese city tends to suit patients from your country based on SmileJet patient data.
Pricing in your currency
Every audience guide includes a treatment comparison table showing Hanoi and HCMC prices in your home currency (AUD, NZD, GBP, or CAD) alongside home-country private dental estimates. The saving is not an approximation: it is calculated at the current exchange rate for each currency.
Flights from your home cities
Routing, approximate flight times, and airline options from your home city to HCMC, Hanoi, and Da Nang. For Australians, direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. For New Zealanders, one-stop via SIN from Auckland. For British patients, one-stop via SIN, DXB, or DOH from LHR and MAN.
Health fund and insurance notes
Each guide covers whether your home health or dental fund reimburses overseas dental treatment, and in what format SmileJet invoices are issued for fund submission. Australian health funds, NZ insurers (Southern Cross, nib), UK dental plans (Bupa, Denplan), and Canadian extended health plans are all covered.
