Welcome to Vietnam

Welcome to our beautiful and fascinating country! It’s our desire that you have an exceptional experience so we’d like to let you know what to expect when you arrive at our boutique private hospital for your first appointment. At Worldwide Dental & Cosmetic Surgery Hospital in Vietnam, we will provide you with personalised treatment to get you the results you desire.

What to Expect the First Day

Transportation
When you first arrive in Vietnam to use the dental service at our hospital, one of our staff members will pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel. We advise against taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel as drivers tend to drive a longer distance to raise the price. If you must take a taxi, however, we recommend Vinasun taxi or Mai Linh taxi. The airport has a private area for taxis located at port 13 and 14. Taxis are paid in cash, and you should exchange currency upon arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport as you will get the most competitive rate with a higher degree of safety.

Accommodations
Our staff will pick you up the following day to visit the hospital for your first appointment. Patients often book their own accommodation. Upon request, we would suggest some affordable hotels nearby for you to consider. Appointments are often scheduled the day following patients’ arrival so they would have time to rest. You also might choose to visit our facilities immediately following your arrival.

Purchasing Supplies
Patients often bring their own supplies but should you wish to buy necessities while in the country, our staff will help you. You may need to purchase a local SIM card for use while staying in Vietnam. 

Preparing for Your Cosmetic Surgery or Dental Treatment

You should declare all of your medical conditions or allergy problems (if any) to the dentist for appropriate treatment. If available, it’s a good idea to provide any prior dental information or records. Please provide the expected number of days you plan to stay in Vietnam. You also should travel with a friend or family member, who could take care of you upon your return to the hotel. If you are having dental treatment, you are not allowed to eat hard food or smoke while you are receiving care.

Post-Treatment Recommendations

Before you return home, it’s advisable to have a 1-day final check-up.
