“Budget” in Hanoi dental tourism means different things for different procedures. A cleaning, a filling, or a single composite veneer can be had at a clean, competent local clinic for a fraction of what you’d pay at an international-tier clinic, and the clinical gap is small for these simple jobs. An implant, All-on-4, or full-mouth rebuild is a different calculation — cheapest is rarely safest. This guide draws that line clearly for each of the six clinics below.
1. Picasso Dental Clinic — Old Quarter Branch
The most trusted clinic on this list for any procedure beyond routine work, Picasso’s Old Quarter branch is on Phố Châu Long in Trúc Bạch — centrally located and accessible from most Old Quarter hotels. For international patients, paying mid-tier Vietnamese prices at a clinic with verified implant brands, documented warranties, and a 4.9/5 rating from 3,921 reviews represents better value than saving a little more at a clinic where materials and standards are opaque.
For routine work — whitening, scale-and-clean, a filling — its pricing is competitive with anything in the area. For implants, veneers, or crowns, it is the safer spend.
Address: 16 Phố Châu Long, Trúc Bạch, Ba Đình, Hà Nội

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest dental procedure I can get near Hanoi’s Old Quarter? A professional scale-and-clean runs roughly USD 15–30 at local-tier clinics near the Old Quarter. Teeth whitening starts around USD 60–100. These are appropriate budget options where the clinical risk of a cheaper clinic is low.
Is it safe to get dental implants at a budget clinic in Hanoi? Generally not recommended. Dental implants require verified brand traceability, CBCT imaging, and a specialist implantologist. Budget-tier clinics typically use unbranded or generic fixtures and may not provide adequate documentation. The saving over an international-tier clinic is rarely worth the risk for a procedure that sits in your jaw for decades. Use Picasso or an equivalent verified clinic.
How much does a cleaning cost near Hanoi Old Quarter? At local-tier clinics, a professional cleaning costs roughly USD 15–35. At international-patient-facing clinics like Picasso, pricing is slightly higher (USD 30–60) but includes English documentation, proper sterilisation protocols, and a reliable follow-up channel.
