After 10 years of neglect on our teeth, we took the plunge (from a golfing buddy's recommendation) to come to Vietnam for dental treatment. My partner had 2 implants done in Australia over 10 years ago and basically had to leave the first born as payment. (Our total cost of our dental work for both of us equated to one implant in Australia).
I was told back then that I would require an implant on the one tooth that had been capped due to travelling commitments. I just lived with the condition until I broke another tooth which would now require attention.
We made arrangements with Amanda. the Aussie coordinator at the clinic. We had full mouth X-rays done locally on the Sunshine Coast, in a format that could be viewed. We had preliminary assessments of what we both would require to be done and booked appointments at the same time. We both were treated simultaneously, that way we could suffer together!
My partner had Dr Nhu An and I had Dr Trang, both very gentle dentists with inquisitive and attentive assistants to do local X-rays, cleaning, root canals, fillings, extraction, fitting crowns.
The prognosis was that both of us would require an implant which was performed by a full on displaced Canadian of Hong Kong Chinese ancestry, Dr Andrew Tsang, trained at the University of British Columbia. Processed took 45 minutes and I hardly experienced any pain, only slight discomfort for the first day. I was back in holiday mode in no time.
5-star dental clinic with all functions and processes done in house.
Crowns were measured, manufactured and installed in 2 days with any adjustment and reshaping of the crowns done in 20 to 30 minute wait time. Unheard of in clinics in North America or Australia. I was in the lab where 3D equipment is utilized. Impressive.
We had 5 appointments in 5 days with all work completed with the exception of the crowns for the implant to be completed in 4 to 6 months at our choosing. We will then plan to tour Vietnam at that time.
