Senior Dental Tourists in Vietnam (65+)

1. Executive Summary

The demographic of dental tourists is shifting older. Across Picasso Dental Clinic's six locations in four Vietnamese cities, patients aged 65 and over now represent an estimated 28% of international patient volume — up from 18% five years ago. These patients typically present with complex, multi-tooth needs: failing bridges, loose dentures, advanced periodontal disease, and significant bone loss. They are motivated by the enormous cost differential between their home countries and Vietnam, combined with the availability of advanced implant technology and English-speaking clinical teams.

The clinical evidence overwhelmingly supports dental treatment for older adults. A 2023 meta-analysis of 14 studies in Clinical Oral Implants Research found that implant survival in patients aged 65+ was 92.7% at 5 years — only 2.5 percentage points lower than the 95.2% reported in patients under 65^[1]. A separate 2022 systematic review concluded that "age is not a significant predictor of implant failure" when systemic health is adequately managed^[2].

However, treating senior patients requires heightened attention to systemic health, medication management, and treatment planning. This guide provides the evidence base and practical framework for patients aged 65+ considering dental tourism in Vietnam.

2. Why Seniors Choose Dental Tourism

The decision to travel abroad for dental care at age 65+ is not taken lightly. Senior patients consistently cite several interconnected factors that make dental tourism a rational choice:

2.1 Cost of Dental Care in Retirement

Retirees face a painful paradox: dental needs increase with age precisely as income decreases. Major procedures like implants, All-on-4, and full-mouth rehabilitation are among the most expensive dental treatments — and they are rarely covered by public health systems or standard insurance.

Prices in USD at 2025–2026 exchange rates. Australian prices from ADA fee surveys, US prices from ADA and CostHelper, UK prices from private practice surveys.

For a senior requiring All-on-4 on both arches, the difference between Vietnam and Australia alone is $33,000–$53,000. Even accounting for flights, accommodation, and travel insurance, the savings fund the entire trip many times over.

2.2 Waiting Lists and Access

Public dental systems in Australia (waiting times of 12–36 months), the UK (NHS dental access crisis, with 10 million adults unable to secure an NHS dentist), and New Zealand (limited public dental care for adults) push patients toward private practice — or abroad. For seniors on fixed incomes, private domestic prices are often unaffordable, making dental tourism the only viable path to treatment.

2.3 Combining Treatment with Travel

Vietnam offers senior-friendly tourism beyond the dental chair. Da Nang's beachfront hotels provide post-treatment relaxation, Hanoi's Old Quarter offers gentle walking and world-class cuisine, and Da Lat's cool highland climate provides a comfortable recovery environment. Many senior patients extend their dental trip into a two- to three-week holiday, combining treatment with sightseeing at a fraction of Western travel costs.

3. Age-Related Dental Considerations

Ageing affects oral health in predictable ways. Understanding these changes is essential for both patients and clinicians planning treatment for the 65+ demographic.

3.1 Bone Density and Jawbone Changes

After tooth loss, the alveolar ridge (the bone that held the teeth) resorbs progressively. In the first year after extraction, patients lose approximately 25% of ridge width; by 3 years, up to 40–60% of the original width may be lost. Seniors who have been edentulous for decades often present with severe atrophy, requiring bone grafting or specialised implant techniques.

Systemic bone density also declines with age, particularly in post-menopausal women. However, research consistently shows that generalised osteoporosis (as measured by DEXA scans of hip and spine) does not directly correlate with jawbone quality. The jaw, particularly the anterior mandible, tends to retain adequate density for implant placement even in patients with systemic osteoporosis^[2].

3.2 Medication Interactions

Seniors take more medications than any other demographic, and several common drug classes directly affect dental treatment planning:

3.3 Healing Time Considerations

Wound healing slows with age due to reduced blood flow, decreased cellular regeneration, and the cumulative effects of chronic conditions. For dental implants specifically:

• Osseointegration: Standard 3–4 month integration in younger patients extends to 4–6 months in patients 65+
• Soft tissue healing: Gingival healing after surgery may take 10–14 days vs 7–10 days in younger patients
• Post-extraction healing: Socket healing requires 8–12 weeks vs 6–8 weeks
• Controlled diabetes (HbA1c < 8%): Adds 1–2 weeks to soft tissue healing; osseointegration remains comparable
• Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c > 8%): Significantly impaired healing; implant surgery should be deferred until glycaemic control improves

These extended timelines are factored into Picasso Dental Clinic's treatment planning for senior patients. They do not represent a barrier to treatment — merely an adjustment to the schedule.

4. Common Procedures for Seniors

Senior dental tourists typically present with more complex, multi-tooth needs than younger patients. The four most common treatment categories are:

4.1 Dental Implants

Single and multiple dental implants remain the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Modern implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem) are designed with surface treatments that promote osseointegration even in compromised bone. For seniors, implant placement typically follows a standard protocol with extended healing times:

• CBCT scan and bone density assessment
• Implant placement under local anaesthesia (sedation available for anxious patients)
• Healing abutment placement
• 4–6 month osseointegration period
• Return trip for final crown/bridge placement

At Picasso Dental Clinic, a single implant (Osstem) with abutment and porcelain crown costs USD $962–$1,385. Premium systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) are available at $1,346–$1,731.

4.2 All-on-4 Full-Arch Rehabilitation

The All-on-4 concept is particularly well-suited for seniors because it works with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. Four implants are placed at specific angles in the jaw — two straight anterior implants and two tilted posterior implants — to maximise contact with existing bone. A temporary fixed prosthesis is attached the same day, restoring function immediately.

Published data shows 95.8% implant survival in patients aged 65+ at 5 years, with patient satisfaction scores averaging 9.1 out of 10^[3]. At Picasso Dental, All-on-4 costs $5,750–$8,500 per arch, including the temporary prosthesis. The final prosthesis is fitted 4–6 months later at an additional cost of $1,500–$2,500.

4.3 Dentures and Implant-Retained Dentures

For seniors who are not candidates for fixed implant solutions, or who prefer a removable option, Picasso Dental offers:

4.4 Crowns and Bridges

Many seniors present with failing old crowns, cracked teeth, or bridges that have reached the end of their lifespan (typically 15–20 years). Replacement crowns and bridges at Picasso Dental use CAD/CAM technology for same-day or next-day delivery, minimising the number of dental visits required — a significant advantage for international patients.

All prices in USD, fixed before treatment. Multi-unit bridges priced per unit.

4.5 Choosing the Right Procedure: A Senior Patient Decision Framework

The ideal treatment for a senior patient depends on the number of missing teeth, bone availability, systemic health, budget, and personal preferences. The following framework summarises the decision pathways:

5. Medical Screening and Health Clearance

Comprehensive medical screening is the cornerstone of safe dental treatment for seniors. Picasso Dental Clinic implements a two-phase screening process:

5.1 Phase 1: Remote Pre-Assessment (Before Travel)

Before any senior patient books travel, Picasso's international team conducts a remote health assessment via WhatsApp or email:

• Complete medical history questionnaire — covering all current conditions, past surgeries, hospitalisations, and allergies
• Full medication list — including dosages, prescribing physician, and duration of use
• Recent blood work — CBC, HbA1c (diabetic patients), INR/PT (anticoagulant patients), and basic metabolic panel
• Dental records and imaging — OPG, periapical X-rays, or CBCT from home dentist
• Physician clearance letter — for patients with significant cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, recent stroke or MI, or complex medical histories

5.2 Phase 2: In-Clinic Assessment (Day 1 in Vietnam)

On the first clinic visit, before any treatment begins, senior patients undergo:

• Blood pressure and heart rate monitoring — baseline and repeated before surgical procedures
• Blood glucose check — for diabetic patients, measured before and after treatment
• CBCT 3D scan — for implant patients, to assess bone volume, density, and proximity to vital structures ($23)
• Clinical oral examination — comprehensive assessment of gingival health, remaining teeth, occlusion, and TMJ
• Treatment plan review — detailed discussion of proposed procedures, alternatives, risks, recovery timeline, and costs with the treating dentist
• Informed consent — age-specific risk discussion, including medication interactions and healing expectations

5.3 Conditions Requiring Special Protocols

6. Travel Considerations for Seniors

International travel to Vietnam requires specific planning for passengers aged 65 and older. The following considerations help ensure a comfortable and safe journey.

6.1 Long-Haul Flight Management

Flights to Vietnam range from 5–6 hours (from Australia/NZ) to 10–14 hours (from the UK and US). Senior travellers should take the following precautions:

• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention: Wear compression stockings, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, walk the aisle every 1–2 hours, and perform seated leg exercises. Patients on anticoagulants have lower DVT risk but should still follow these measures.
• Medication timing: Carry all medications in hand luggage with a physician's letter listing each medication. Adjust timing for time zone changes (consult your physician before travel).
• Seat selection: Request an aisle seat for easier mobility. Consider premium economy or business class for the additional legroom and recline, which significantly reduce fatigue.
• Arrival timing: Book flights that arrive during daylight hours when possible, making airport navigation and transfer to accommodation easier.

6.2 Jet Lag Management

Vietnam is GMT+7, creating significant time differences with common origin countries:

Picasso Dental recommends senior patients schedule their first dental appointment no earlier than the second full day after arrival (third day for US/UK travellers). Jet lag impairs pain perception, increases anxiety, and reduces tolerance for lengthy procedures. Adequate rest before treatment improves both the patient experience and clinical outcomes.

6.3 Mobility and Accessibility

Vietnam's cities are not always easy to navigate for those with mobility limitations. Key considerations:

• Airport transfers: Picasso Dental arranges private airport pickup and drop-off for senior patients, eliminating the need to navigate public transport or negotiate with taxi drivers.
• Clinic accessibility: Picasso's clinics have ground-floor treatment rooms and lift access where applicable. Wheelchair access is available at all six locations.
• Pavement conditions: Vietnamese pavements can be uneven, crowded with motorbikes, and challenging for walking frames or wheelchairs. Private transport between hotel and clinic is strongly recommended.
• Climate: Vietnam's heat and humidity (30–35°C, 70–90% humidity in summer) can be taxing. Air-conditioned transport, hotels, and clinics mitigate this. October–March offers the most comfortable conditions in northern Vietnam (Hanoi); November–April is optimal for central Vietnam (Da Nang).

7. Accommodation Needs

Appropriate accommodation is critical for senior dental tourists, particularly during the post-surgical recovery period. Picasso Dental Clinic maintains partnerships with hotels near each clinic location and can recommend options that meet specific accessibility and comfort requirements.

7.1 Key Accommodation Criteria for Seniors

• Proximity to clinic: Within 10–15 minutes by car. Shorter journeys reduce fatigue and allow easy access for follow-up appointments or emergencies.
• Ground-floor or lift-accessible rooms: Essential for patients with mobility limitations or those recovering from surgical procedures under sedation.
• Walk-in shower (no bathtub step-over): Reduces fall risk, particularly important in the first 24–48 hours after sedation or general anaesthesia.
• In-room refrigerator: For medication storage (insulin, antibiotics) and soft foods during recovery.
• Proximity to soft-food restaurants or room service: Post-surgical diets require soft, non-spicy foods for 3–7 days. Vietnamese cuisine offers excellent options (pho, congee, steamed fish), but room service ensures convenience during the initial recovery period.
• English-speaking reception: Important for communicating medical needs, arranging transport, or requesting assistance.

7.2 Accommodation Categories by Budget

For stays of 10–14 days (typical for implant treatment), serviced apartments offer excellent value — with kitchenettes for preparing soft foods, laundry facilities, and a more home-like environment that aids recovery. Rates in Hanoi and Da Nang start from $30–$60 per night for well-equipped units.

8. Companion Travel Recommendations

Picasso Dental Clinic strongly recommends that patients aged 70+, or any senior undergoing sedation or extensive surgical procedures, travel with a companion. Here is the practical framework:

8.1 When a Companion Is Essential

8.2 Companion's Role

The travel companion serves multiple practical functions:

• Pre-treatment: Assist with airport navigation, hotel check-in, clinic directions, and ensuring the patient rests adequately before treatment
• Treatment day: Accompany patient to the clinic, communicate with clinical staff, take notes on post-operative instructions, and transport patient back to accommodation
• Post-treatment: Monitor for complications (excessive bleeding, swelling, fever), manage medication schedules, prepare or procure appropriate soft foods, and provide emotional support
• Between appointments: Accompany on gentle sightseeing, manage logistics, and ensure the patient follows recovery instructions

9. Outcome Data for 65+ Patients

The central question for senior dental tourists is: "Will my treatment be as successful as it would be for a younger patient?" The clinical evidence provides a reassuring answer.

9.1 Implant Survival Rates by Age Group

The data shows a modest, gradual decline in implant survival with increasing age — but even in the 75–84 age group, 91.8% of implants are still functional at 5 years. This is well within the range of clinical acceptability and represents excellent outcomes by any measure.

9.2 All-on-4 Outcomes in Seniors

All-on-4 treatment outcomes in patients aged 65+ are particularly encouraging:

• Implant survival: 95.8% at 5 years (vs 97.3% in patients under 65)^[3]
• Prosthesis survival: 98.2% at 5 years (prosthesis remains functional even if one implant fails)
• Patient satisfaction: 9.1/10 average score, with 94% of patients aged 65+ reporting they would choose the treatment again
• Chewing efficiency: Restored to 85–90% of natural dentition within 6 months of final prosthesis placement
• Quality of life improvement: OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) scores improve by an average of 38 points post-treatment

9.3 Healing Timelines: Senior vs Younger Patients

9.4 Complication Rates in Senior Patients

While overall complication rates are slightly higher in seniors, most complications are minor and manageable:

9.5 Nutrition and Recovery Outcomes

Dental health directly impacts nutrition in older adults. Edentulous (toothless) seniors or those with poorly fitting dentures consume significantly less protein, fibre, and micronutrients than those with functional dentition. Studies show that:

• Edentulous adults consume 20–30% fewer fruits and vegetables than dentate adults
• Protein intake drops by an average of 15% in adults with fewer than 10 functional teeth
• Restoration of full chewing function (via implants or All-on-4) improves dietary variety within 3–6 months
• Patients report improvements in social confidence, speech clarity, and willingness to eat in restaurants after full-arch rehabilitation

For seniors on fixed incomes, the nutritional and quality-of-life improvements from dental restoration often justify the investment in dental tourism. The ability to eat a varied, balanced diet is directly linked to reduced frailty, better cognitive function, and longer independent living — outcomes that extend far beyond the dental chair.

9.6 Psychological and Social Outcomes

Tooth loss in seniors is associated with social withdrawal, reduced self-confidence, and depression. Published studies using the OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) consistently show that implant-based treatment produces dramatic improvements in psychological wellbeing:

• Social function: 89% of All-on-4 patients aged 65+ report reduced embarrassment about their teeth
• Speech clarity: 92% report improved speech after replacing ill-fitting dentures with fixed prosthetics
• Pain reduction: 95% report elimination of chronic denture-related pain and ulceration
• Overall satisfaction: Patient satisfaction scores for All-on-4 in the 65+ cohort average 9.1/10, with 94% stating they would recommend the treatment to others

10. Picasso Dental's Senior Patient Protocol

Picasso Dental Clinic has developed a structured protocol specifically for patients aged 65+, refined over more than a decade of treating international patients across six clinics in four cities.

10.1 The Senior Patient Pathway

10.2 Senior-Specific Clinical Adjustments

• Shorter appointment blocks: Maximum 2–3 hours per session to reduce fatigue and stress
• Morning scheduling: First appointments of the day, when energy levels are highest and clinics are quietest
• Blood pressure monitoring: Checked before, during (for surgical procedures), and after each appointment
• Adapted anaesthesia: Reduced adrenaline concentration for hypertensive patients; sedation dose adjusted for age and weight
• Extended post-operative observation: 30–60 minutes of in-clinic monitoring after surgical procedures before discharge
• Written + verbal instructions: All post-operative instructions provided in writing (English), reviewed verbally with patient and companion

10.3 The Clinical Team

Picasso Dental Clinic employs 30+ dentists across its six clinics in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Da Lat. Senior patient cases are managed by experienced implantologists with specific training in geriatric dentistry considerations. Dr. Emily Nguyen, Principal Dentist and Lead Implantologist, oversees complex cases and senior patient protocols. Her credentials include:

• Doctor of Dental Surgery — University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City
• Advanced training — 108 Military Central Hospital (Cosmetic Maxillofacial Surgery)
• Certification — Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry
• 12+ years clinical experience
• 5,000+ dental implants placed

11. Insurance and Medicare/NHS Considerations

Understanding what your insurance, Medicare, or NHS will and will not cover for overseas dental treatment is essential for financial planning.

11.1 Australia

• Medicare: Does not cover any dental treatment, whether in Australia or abroad (except cleft palate treatment in children and some hospital-based emergency dental care).
• Private health insurance (extras cover): Some Australian private health funds allow claims for dental treatment performed overseas, up to the scheduled benefit amount. The rebate is typically $50–$200 per item, covering only a fraction of the total cost. Check with your fund before travel — OSHC and overseas visitor policies do not apply to Australian residents travelling abroad.
• Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA): DVA dental benefits cannot be used for treatment performed overseas.

11.2 United Kingdom

• NHS dental: Does not cover any treatment performed outside the UK. NHS Band 1–3 charges apply only to treatment at NHS-registered practices in England and Wales.
• Private dental insurance: Most UK private dental insurance policies (Denplan, Bupa Dental, AXA PPP) exclude treatment performed abroad. Check your specific policy wording.
• EHIC/GHIC: The UK Global Health Insurance Card covers emergency dental treatment in EU/EEA countries only — it does not apply to Vietnam or to planned elective treatment.

11.3 United States

• Medicare (Parts A & B): US Medicare does not cover dental care at all — domestically or abroad — with very limited exceptions (dental work required as part of a covered medical procedure, such as jaw reconstruction after injury).
• Medicare Advantage (Part C): Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, but these are typically limited to preventive care and do not extend to overseas treatment.
• Private dental insurance: Most US dental insurance plans have maximum annual benefits of $1,000–$2,000 and do not cover treatment performed abroad. Some plans with out-of-network benefits may reimburse a portion — verify with your insurer.

11.4 Travel Insurance

All senior dental tourists should purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes:

• Emergency medical coverage: Minimum $500,000, covering emergency hospitalisation, medical evacuation, and repatriation
• Pre-existing condition coverage: Many standard policies exclude pre-existing conditions. Senior travellers should seek policies that cover stable pre-existing conditions (typically no change in medication or symptoms for 6–12 months prior to travel)
• Trip cancellation/interruption: In case medical issues prevent travel or require early return
• Emergency dental: Note that most travel insurance covers emergency dental pain relief only (up to $500–$1,000), not planned elective dental treatment. Your planned dental work at Picasso is considered elective and will not be covered.

12. Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for a 70-year-old to get dental implants in Vietnam?

Yes. Published research shows implant success rates of 90–95% in patients aged 65–80, only marginally lower than younger cohorts (95–97%). Age alone is not a contraindication for dental implant treatment. At Picasso Dental Clinic, senior patients undergo comprehensive medical screening including blood tests, blood pressure monitoring, and medication review before any surgical procedure. The clinic has treated thousands of patients aged 65+ from 62 countries with excellent outcomes.

Do dental implants take longer to heal in older patients?

Osseointegration (the process of bone bonding to the implant) typically takes 3–6 months regardless of age. However, patients aged 65+ may experience healing at the slower end of this range, particularly those with controlled diabetes, osteoporosis, or taking certain medications. Picasso Dental plans for a 4–6 month osseointegration period for senior patients and schedules follow-up reviews accordingly. Soft tissue healing (gum healing) may also take 10–14 days vs 7–10 days in younger patients.

Can I get dental implants if I take blood thinners?

In most cases, yes. Current clinical guidelines recommend continuing anticoagulant therapy (warfarin, rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran) for routine dental implant surgery, as the bleeding risk from stopping medication far outweighs the risk of minor post-surgical bleeding. Picasso Dental's protocol includes pre-operative INR testing for warfarin patients (acceptable range: INR 2.0–3.5), and local haemostatic measures during surgery (oxidised cellulose, suturing, compression). For patients on dual antiplatelet therapy, physician consultation is required before surgical procedures.

I have osteoporosis. Can I still get dental implants?

Osteoporosis alone does not prevent dental implant placement. Studies show comparable implant success rates in osteoporotic patients not taking bisphosphonates. However, if you are taking bisphosphonate medication (alendronate/Fosamax, risedronate/Actonel, zoledronic acid/Zometa), additional assessment is required. Oral bisphosphonates carry a low risk (0.01–0.04%) of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ); IV bisphosphonates carry significantly higher risk (0.8–12%). Picasso Dental requires full medication disclosure and will consult with your prescribing physician if bisphosphonates are involved^[5].

What is the best dental treatment for seniors who have lost all their teeth?

All-on-4 fixed dental bridges are widely considered the gold standard for fully edentulous (toothless) seniors. Four strategically angled implants support a full-arch fixed prosthesis, restoring complete chewing function and natural aesthetics. The procedure achieves 95.8% implant survival in patients aged 65+ at 5 years, with patient satisfaction scores of 9.1/10. At Picasso Dental, All-on-4 costs USD $5,750–$8,500 per arch — compared to $20,000–$30,000 in the US and $25,000–$35,000 in Australia. For patients who prefer a removable option, implant-retained overdentures (2–4 implants with a snap-on denture) offer a more affordable alternative at $2,500–$5,800.

How long should I plan to stay in Vietnam for dental treatment as a senior?

For implant-based treatment (single implants, multiple implants, All-on-4), plan 10–14 days for the surgical phase. This allows 1–2 days for acclimatisation, the treatment sessions, rest days between sessions, and follow-up appointments. For non-surgical work like crowns and dentures, 5–7 days is typically sufficient. Picasso Dental recommends seniors arrive 1–2 days before treatment to acclimatise and recover from jet lag. A return trip of 3–5 days is needed 4–6 months later for implant-supported final restorations.

Does Medicare or NHS cover dental treatment abroad?

Standard Medicare (Australia), NHS (UK), and Medicare (US) do not cover dental treatment performed overseas. Australian patients with private health insurance extras cover may be able to claim a small rebate ($50–$200 per item). UK NHS and US Medicare provide zero dental coverage abroad. US Medicare does not cover most dental care even domestically. Despite the lack of insurance coverage, the savings from treatment in Vietnam are so substantial (60–80% less than Western prices) that the out-of-pocket cost in Vietnam is still dramatically lower than the insured copay in many Western countries.

Should I bring a companion when travelling to Vietnam for dental work?

For patients aged 70+, or those undergoing sedation or extensive surgical procedures (multiple implants, All-on-4, full-mouth rehabilitation), a travel companion is strongly recommended. The companion can assist with transport to and from the clinic, manage medications, help with meals during recovery, and provide emotional support. For procedures requiring IV sedation, a companion is required — patients cannot be discharged alone after sedation. Picasso Dental can arrange accommodation for both patient and companion, and the companion is welcome at all appointments.

13. Conclusions

The evidence is unambiguous: age is not a barrier to successful dental treatment. Patients aged 65+ achieve implant survival rates of 90–95% at 5 years, All-on-4 outcomes comparable to younger cohorts, and transformative improvements in quality of life, nutrition, and confidence. The modest increase in healing time and complication rates is well-managed with appropriate medical screening, medication review, and age-adapted treatment protocols.

Vietnam — and Picasso Dental Clinic specifically — has emerged as a leading destination for senior dental tourists because it combines three critical factors: world-class clinical technology and materials, experienced clinicians who treat international patients daily, and pricing 60–80% below Western countries. The savings on major procedures like All-on-4 ($33,000–$53,000 less than Australia) make previously unaffordable treatment achievable for retirees on fixed incomes.

Picasso Dental's dedicated senior patient protocol — from remote pre-assessment through in-clinic medical screening, shorter appointment sessions, companion integration, and post-departure WhatsApp monitoring — addresses the specific needs of older patients. With 30+ dentists across six clinics in four cities, and 70,000+ patients from 62 countries treated since 2013, the clinic has the infrastructure and experience to deliver excellent outcomes for patients at every age.

The bottom line: if you are aged 65+ and need major dental work, do not let age discourage you. Get a comprehensive medical assessment, discuss your plans with your physician, and contact Picasso Dental Clinic for a remote consultation. The clinical evidence, the cost savings, and the patient outcomes all support the decision to pursue dental tourism in Vietnam — at any age.
