Home/Dental Tourism for Australians
    🇦🇺For Australian Patients

    Your Sydney Dentist Charges $2,800 AUD Per Veneer. We Know a Better Way.

    Australians are paying 6× more than necessary for world-class dental work. At SmileQuest partner clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, porcelain veneers start at $545 AUD per tooth — same technology, up to 80% less.

    Founded by Richard & Judy Tran — a Canadian couple based in Ho Chi Minh City. Native English speakers, on the ground, in your corner from first message to final smile.

    The bottom line: Ho Chi Minh City has a thriving expat community, world-class food, internationally trained dentists and prices that beat every major dental tourism hub in Southeast Asia. And unlike going alone, SmileQuest gives you a real person — based in Vietnam — who knows every clinic, every dentist, and handles every detail.

    The Process

    How It Works for Australians

    From your first question to flying home with your new smile — here's exactly what to expect.

    01

    Treatment Plan & Quote

    Based on your X-rays or photos, we match you to the right clinic and dentist. You receive a full itemised quote in both USD and AUD before booking anything.

    02

    We Book Everything

    Flights are on you — we handle the rest. Clinic appointments, airport pickup, hotel, transfers and a bilingual coordinator who stays with you throughout.

    03

    Treatment in HCMC

    Most procedures take 5–10 days. You stay in a boutique hotel in District 1, steps from great food and coffee, while we ensure every appointment runs smoothly.

    04

    Home With Your New Smile

    Fly home with your final results and full written warranty. We check in at 1 week, 1 month and 6 months. Your Australian dentist gets digital records if needed.

    What's Included

    Everything Except Your Flight

    Most dental tourism horror stories happen when people go alone and have no support when things don't go as planned. SmileQuest exists so that never happens to you.
