Dr. Care Implant Clinic Clinique contrôlée de Dental Departures

We conduct a 4 part review of our dental clinic* - site visit, quality survey, online reputation, dental license verification

* varies by country

Since opening, Dr. Care has cared for more than 10,000 patients and completed more than 3,500 dental implant cases, ranging from single-tooth replacement to complex full-arch rehabilitation. The clinic is best suited to patients whose primary need is dental implant treatment and the related surgical and prosthetic care required to restore chewing function, stability and a natural-looking smile.

Dr. Care follows a conservative treatment philosophy: preserve healthy natural teeth whenever possible, diagnose each case individually, and explain the recommended treatment, alternatives, timeline and expected costs before treatment begins. The clinic treats both Vietnamese and international patients, with English-speaking support available throughout the treatment journey.

For patients traveling from overseas, available dental X-rays or CBCT scans, photographs and relevant medical information can be reviewed before travel. This allows the team to prepare a preliminary treatment pathway, estimated timeline and itemized quotation before the patient arranges flights.

Services & Technology

Implant Dentistry

Dental implant treatment is the clinic's core focus. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:

• Full-arch rehabilitation with All-on-4, All-on-6 or other All-on-X configurations.
• Zygomatic implant treatment.
• Single-tooth dental implants and implant-supported crowns.
• Replacement of several missing teeth with an implant-supported treatment plan.
• Implant-supported removable or fixed prosthetic solutions when clinically appropriate.
• Immediate implant placement and/or provisional teeth in eligible cases, subject to bone condition and primary implant stability.

Pre-Implant & Surgical Care

For patients who need additional preparation before implant placement, Dr. Care can assess and provide related procedures such as tooth extraction, bone grafting, sinus lift procedures and periodontal stabilization. The exact need for these procedures is determined after clinical examination and 3D imaging.

Digital Implant Workflow

Dr. Care uses a digital workflow to support diagnosis, implant planning, surgery and prosthetic restoration. Technology available at the clinic includes CBCT 3D imaging, digital treatment-planning software, the DCarer Navigation system for navigation-assisted implant placement, 3Shape intraoral scanning, and PIC photogrammetry for selected full-arch prosthetic cases. These tools help the treating dentist evaluate bone anatomy in three dimensions, plan implant position and design the final restoration with greater control.

Implant Systems

The clinic works with established implant systems including Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Neodent, Dentium, JD Dental Care and Osstem. The recommended implant system depends on the patient's bone condition, treatment goals, healing requirements and budget. Patients can ask the coordinator to identify the proposed implant brand and components clearly in the written treatment plan before surgery.

Comfort & Clinical Safety

Treatment is planned with patient comfort in mind. Local anesthesia is used for implant surgery, and sedation may be available for suitable patients after clinical assessment. The clinic combines 3D planning, guided or navigation-assisted techniques when indicated, dedicated surgical equipment, sterilization protocols and modern dental chairs to support a controlled treatment environment. Individual experience and recovery vary by procedure and patient health.

Modern Equipment

KaVo Primus™ 1058 Life dental chairs, ANTHOS Class B sterilization, Newtom GO 2D X-ray machine, Piezotome® Cubebone surgery device and other dental systems support patient comfort and clinical safety.

For International Patients

Dr. Care has a structured pathway for patients traveling to Vietnam for dental implant treatment. The exact schedule depends on the number of implants, bone condition, need for grafting, healing response and the type of final restoration, but a typical full-arch journey may involve the following stages:

1. Before travel: Send available X-rays or CBCT scans, dental photographs and relevant medical information for a preliminary review. The clinic can then outline a proposed treatment plan, estimated timeline and itemized quotation before flights are booked.
2. First visit to Ho Chi Minh City: A full clinical examination and CBCT scan are completed before the final treatment plan is confirmed. Implant surgery, extractions or grafting are performed as required, and a temporary restoration may be provided in eligible cases. For many full-arch cases, this visit is commonly planned for approximately 7-14 days.
3. Healing at home: Osseointegration commonly takes approximately 3-6 months, depending on the implant system, bone condition and individual healing. During this period, the clinic can continue follow-up remotely through messages, photographs and online check-ins.
4. Final visit: After the implants are confirmed to be stable, digital impressions are taken and the final prosthetic restoration is produced, fitted and adjusted. For many full-arch cases, international patients commonly plan another stay of approximately 7-14 days.

Single-tooth and less complex implant cases may follow a shorter or different schedule. Immediate loading is possible only when clinical conditions allow it. Patients should rely on the individualized written treatment plan rather than booking travel solely around a generic timeline.

English-speaking support is available. Dental Departures also lists ground transportation support to and from the airport and hotel; patients should confirm availability and any eligibility conditions when arranging their appointment.
