Dental Clinic Ho Chi Minh City: 13 Licensed Clinics (2026)

Start here: Dental Link, a free concierge (not a clinic)

Dental Link is a free concierge, not a dental clinic, and it is not one of the 13 providers on this list. It says it matches international patients with vetted dental clinics in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Its three promises, word for word: "100% free for patients. Same price as booking direct. No deposits, ever."

It says every clinic passes 18 checks before it is listed. It says two vetted clinics are matched to your case within 24 hours. Then you get a written quote from each. Each line here is the company's own statement, not something this site has tested.

Disclosure: Peptides Vietnam has a business relationship with Dental Link. This page is not medical or dental advice.

In our view, Dental Link is the best company in Vietnam for finding the right dental clinic without doing every check alone. That is this publisher's opinion, not a ranking or a test result.

This page does not show which clinics Dental Link works with. A place on the list below tells you about a licence record and nothing about that.

The company has its own page for Ho Chi Minh City. For how it is paid and what it does not do, see our guide to the concierge.

Which dental clinics in Ho Chi Minh City have a licence on the public register?

The 13 providers on this list each had a licence to operate with the status "Đang hoạt động" (operating) on the city register on 12 October 2026. The brand name is the name the provider trades under. The registered name is the facility name the register shows; for some it also names the owning company. We looked up 16 candidates. These 13 are the ones whose record we matched with high confidence. They are not the only licensed dental providers in the city.

Some rows use older ward and district names. We kept them as the register shows them. The full registered address of each provider is in its entry below.

The 13 providers, one by one

Each entry below gives one provider's licence record and anything about that record a reader should know. The order is A to Z by brand name, with a leading "The" ignored. Where a provider's own site has a sentence about English, we quote it as the provider's words. Links to provider sites are plain links, not endorsements.

How were these providers chosen?

A dental provider became a candidate when at least 2 separate sources that rank for these searches named it. Then it had to match a record on the city register. Both steps were done on 12 October 2026.

• The searches: four saved Google results pages, three from Australia and one from Vietnam. The search "dental clinic ho chi minh city" was saved in both countries.
• What counted as a source: a provider's own site, when it sat in the first 10 results. Or a list page from another site that sat there. We read 8 list pages from 7 sites, for provider names only.
• The rule: named by at least 2 sources from different sites. A provider named by 1 source only was not taken.
• The result: 16 candidates met the rule. We looked up each one on the register.

13 matched a register record with high confidence, by registered name, by address, or by both. Several of those providers also print the same licence number on their own sites. Those are the 13 on this page. Three candidates were left out: two whose match was less certain, and one with no record found. Leaving a clinic out says nothing about its licence.

Being named by list pages is not a quality test. It only shows which clinics a searcher is likely to meet first. We did not copy ratings, prices or wording from any list page. Collecting these licence records in one place is the reason for this page.

What does a licence record tell you, and what does it not?

A licence record tells you the clinic holds the paper the law requires to operate. It does not tell you how the clinic works. Here is what the law says.

• A licence is required. A clinic or hospital must have a licence to operate, issued by the competent authority (Article 49(1)). The law bans a facility from giving care when it has no licence to operate, or while its operation is suspended (Law 15/2023/QH15, Article 7(15)(a) and (b)).
• One licence per facility. Each facility has one licence, with no end date (Article 50(1)). It states the facility's name, its form of organisation, its address, its scope of professional activity and its daily working hours (Article 50(2)).
• The words in the registered name. Many registered names above begin "Phòng khám Răng Hàm Mặt". Decree 96/2023/ND-CP lists the dental clinic, "phòng khám răng hàm mặt", as a form of clinic (Article 39(2)).
• Who issues it. The law says the provincial or city health authority issues, reissues, adjusts and withdraws licences to operate for facilities in its area, except the cases in clauses 1, 2 and 3 of that article (Article 51(4)).

What the record does not tell you

• It is not a rating. The register shows a name, a number, an address, a date and a status. It says nothing about results, prices or how patients were treated.
• It is about the place, not the person. As a general rule (Article 19(1)), a person needs a licence to practise that is in force, and practice registration. The law lists exceptions in Article 19(2), 19(3) and 19(4), and one for registration in Article 36(3). We did not look up any dentist's practising certificate for this page.
• It has a limit. The lookup searches the records the city's Department of Health manages. A clinic that does not appear is not proven unlicensed, because some facilities are licensed by other authorities, so ask the clinic for its licence number and which authority issued it.
• It is a record of one day. We saw older rows marked "Thu hồi" (revoked) beside active ones. A status can change, so look again before you book.

What dental bodies say to ask

Dental bodies abroad list questions that go past the licence. Three of them are below. The Australian Dental Association goes further than a checklist: its policy says Australian residents should only seek elective dental care in Australia.

The full set of checks, with the law on prices, patient rights and language, is in our guide to how to check a dentist in Vietnam yourself.

How do you check a clinic's licence yourself?

You can look up any clinic's licence to operate on the city's public lookup page, which is in Vietnamese. These are the steps we used for the 13 records above.

1. Open thongtin.medinet.org.vn. The header reads "Cổng tra cứu thông tin, Hoạt động khám chữa bệnh Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh". That means the information lookup portal for medical examination and treatment activity in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. The home page offers three searches. They are "Người hành nghề Y" (medical practitioner), "Cơ sở khám chữa bệnh" (medical facility) and "Cơ sở thẩm mỹ" (cosmetic facility).
3. For a clinic's licence, open the page "Giấy phép hoạt động" (licence to operate). Its heading says it is for looking up the licensing of medical facilities. It asks you to enter the information needed to search.
4. Enter the facility name, or the licence number if the clinic prints one. The form has a box for each.
5. Read the row that comes back. The table below shows what each column means.

Three things we learned doing it

• The search is sensitive to accent marks. Type the Vietnamese name with its marks, such as "Sài Gòn".
• A search with no match did not give an empty list. It showed the page's default first page of results. Check that the row you read is the clinic you typed.
• The brand name may not find the clinic, because the licence is in a registered name that can differ. For several clinics we searched by street address.

Who runs it? The page title names the site as the electronic information portal of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health ("Sở Y Tế"). In a news item dated 17 August 2017, the Department said it had set up software for this. It said the software gives a quick lookup of a facility's licence to operate. It also covers the practising certificates of doctors and health staff at facilities the Department manages. The lookup page prints a number under "Đường dây nóng" (hotline): 096 777 1010.

The lookup searches the records the city's Department of Health manages. A clinic that does not appear is not proven unlicensed, so ask the clinic for its licence number and which authority issued it. No national public lookup could be confirmed.

How we checked this page

We built the candidate list from the pages that ranked on Google for these searches in Australia and Vietnam on 12 October 2026. We looked up each of the 16 candidates on the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health register the same day. We then checked every licence number a second time. We did not visit any provider, did not have treatment, and did not test any provider's English.
