Global dental industry in Vietnam fortifies its place in the medical tourism landscape

Vietnam's cosmetic dentistry sector is making significant strides, positioning itself as a leading destination for dental tourism. A seminar held by Detec Dental Lab on August 7 discussed the current state of Vietnam's dental services market and strategies to stimulate growth.

Recently, ABC World Asia led a $24 million Series B round in Kim Dental, a leading dental system operator in Vietnam. The investment aims to support the expansion of affordable and reliable oral healthcare services, further bolstering the sector's growth.

One key factor driving the international credibility of Vietnam's dental industry is the comprehensive standardisation of treatment protocols, production, case monitoring, and scientific evidence accumulation.

The quality of dental services varies greatly between clinics and facilities in Vietnam. However, many clinics are now equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as 3D cone beam CT scanners, CAD/CAM systems for same-day crowns, and advanced sterilization methods. These clinics maintain strict hygiene protocols meeting international infection control standards, ensuring patient safety and comfort comparable to Western clinics.

Many Vietnamese dentists hold postgraduate training and certifications from prestigious institutions abroad. They specialize in implantology and cosmetic dentistry and participate in continual education to stay updated on global best practices.

The Ministry of Health in Vietnam has issued the 2025 Circular 09/VBHN-BYT, which provides integrated management procedures specifically for cosmetic services, including dentistry. This circular represents a regulatory framework aiming to standardize and enhance cosmetic treatment quality nationwide.

Leading dental systems like The East Rose Dental are recognized among Vietnam's top practices, promoting expat-friendly services and seamless integration with global dental care standards. Clinics emphasize cultural sensitivity while employing trending beauty norms, enhancing appeal to international clients.

Many clinics offer all-in-one care including airport pickups and comprehensive service packages, combining clinical excellence with convenience, facilitating a worry-free experience that aligns with international patient expectations.

Advancements in technology and techniques in dentistry have attracted both patients and professionals to Vietnam. Increasing awareness and emphasis on oral hygiene among the population is driving demand for dental services in Vietnam.

Vietnam is becoming a preferred destination for affordable yet high-standard dental treatments. The government is also investing in healthcare infrastructure to expand dental services accessibility across urban and rural areas in Vietnam. Rising disposable incomes in Vietnam are enabling more individuals to afford dental care beyond basic treatments.

With these efforts, Vietnam aims to build a synchronous dental ecosystem, capable of cross-sector and cross-regional connectivity, targeting overseas Vietnamese and international tourists. The Vietnam's dental services market was valued at $4.21 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $5.50 billion by 2030.

Ha, a prominent figure in the industry, noted that Vietnam's dental industry aims to become a key player in national medical tourism. As the sector continues to grow and evolve, Vietnam's cosmetic dentistry sector is poised to maintain its reputation as a leading destination for dental tourism.
