Not every clinic in Phu Quoc does implants. Of the five most-reviewed dental clinics on the island, only two are genuinely set up for implant surgery. This guide ranks them by who is most qualified – training, brands, and technique – not just who has the most stars.
Prices, brands, and clinic details are current as of April 2026. All costs listed include the implant and crown unless noted otherwise.

What Makes a Good Implant Dentist?
Dental implants are a surgical procedure, not a routine cleaning. Before choosing a clinic, these are the four criteria that actually matter:
1. Specialist training. Implant placement requires postgraduate surgical training. A dentist who trained in implantology in Japan, South Korea, or Europe follows protocols not taught in standard dental school. Ask where and when the dentist trained specifically in implants.
2. Implant brand quality. Cheap implants exist. They fail more often. Swiss brands (Straumann) and Swedish brands (Nobel Biocare) publish the most long-term clinical data. Korean brands (Dentium, Dio, Osstem) offer strong value and have large installed bases across Asia. Avoid any clinic that cannot name the brand they use.
3. Case volume and experience. Surgical precision improves with repetition. A dentist placing 10 implants a month has meaningfully more experience than one placing 2. Ask directly: how many implants does the clinic place per month?
4. Sterilization and imaging. A clinic performing implants should have on-site panoramic X-ray or CBCT (cone beam CT) for bone assessment. Sterilization should follow autoclave protocols. If a clinic cannot confirm these, walk away.
#1 Most Specialized — Phu Quoc Luxury Dental
Phu Quoc Luxury Dental sits at 85 Hung Vuong in Duong Dong town and is the only private clinic on the island open seven days a week, including Sunday (08:00–18:00). For travelers with tight schedules, that Sunday access matters.
The lead dentist graduated with distinction from Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine – Vietnam’s top medical school – then completed additional training in Japan and South Korea. She lectures at Kangnam Hospital, which puts her inside a network of Korean implantology practice. She has 15 years of clinical experience.
Implant pricing at Phu Quoc Luxury Dental:
- Korean brand implant + crown: from ~$586
- Premium system: up to ~$1,200
The clinic holds a 5.0-star rating across 54 reviews. The review count is lower than An Tam’s but the specialization is higher. For a patient who wants the most experienced, internationally trained implant dentist available on the island, this is the first call to make.
English is spoken directly – no translation app required.

Also relevant: if you’re considering a full-arch solution, ask about All-on-4 at this clinic. The lead dentist’s surgical training makes her a credible option for full-arch cases, not just single-tooth replacements.
#2 Hospital Backup — Vinmec International Hospital
Vinmec International Hospital is JCI-accredited – the international gold standard for hospital quality. It has a dental department, 24/7 availability, insurance billing capability, and English-speaking staff.
Vinmec is not an implant specialist clinic. Its dental department handles emergency dental treatment, pediatric dentistry, and patients with medical complexity (anticoagulants, diabetes, post-cancer treatment) who need their dental care managed within a full hospital environment.
If you are medically complex – on blood thinners, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have a history of radiation to the jaw – Vinmec is the right first conversation. For a healthy adult seeking a routine implant, Phu Quoc Luxury Dental is the better-qualified option.
Clinics That Don’t Offer Implants
Two of the most visible clinics in Phu Quoc do not perform dental implant surgery at all. This is worth stating clearly because both appear prominently in search results and Google Maps.
Tri Hao Dental has the highest rating on the island (5.0 stars, 218 reviews) and competitive prices for basic work: cleaning ($6–$12), fillings ($8–$20), crowns ($80–$200), extractions ($8–$20). For those treatments, it is an excellent clinic. For implants, it is not an option – they do not offer the procedure.
Neither clinic should appear on your shortlist for implant surgery.
Implant Brands Available in Phu Quoc
| Brand | Country | Tier | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dio | South Korea | Value | ISO-certified, widely used across Asia, solid long-term data |
| Dentium | South Korea | Mid | Popular in Vietnamese private clinics, large clinical base |
| Straumann | Switzerland | Premium | Most published clinical research of any implant brand globally |
| Nobel Biocare | Sweden | Premium | Invented the modern dental implant, preferred for complex cases |
Korean brands at $320–$480 offer genuine clinical quality – not a compromise product. The gap between them and Straumann/Nobel is partly brand prestige, partly longer published follow-up data, partly a modest difference in surface technology. For most healthy patients with adequate bone, a Korean brand implant placed by a trained surgeon performs very well over 10+ years.
Premium brands become more relevant in borderline bone cases, full-arch work, or when you want the implant brand with the longest peer-reviewed track record.

Questions to Ask Before Your Implant Appointment
Before you confirm a booking, get answers to these questions in writing or via clinic message:
- What implant brand will you use, and what is the total cost including the crown? If you’re quoted a price “per component,” ask for the all-in figure.
- Who performs the implant placement – the lead dentist or an associate? At a small clinic, this matters.
- Do you have on-site panoramic X-ray or CBCT? Bone assessment without 3D imaging is guesswork.
- What is your sterilization protocol? Autoclave is the minimum standard. They should answer this without hesitation.
- What happens if I have a complication after I return home? Ask if they partner with a dentist network or can provide documentation for a local dentist.

How Long Do You Need to Stay in Phu Quoc for Implants?
A single dental implant is a two-stage procedure split across months:
Stage 1 — Placement (2–3 days in Phu Quoc)
- Day 1: Consultation, X-ray/CBCT, treatment plan, any pre-surgical prep (extraction if needed)
- Day 2: Implant surgery (typically 1–2 hours under local anesthetic)
- Day 3: Post-op check, temporary crown fitting if applicable
Healing period (3–6 months at home) The titanium post integrates with your jawbone – osseointegration. You return home during this phase. No clinic stay required.
Stage 2 — Crown placement (1–2 days in Phu Quoc)
- Impression or digital scan of the implant
- Crown fitting and bite adjustment
Total time on-island: approximately 4–5 days across two trips, separated by 3–6 months. Some patients plan Stage 1 around a holiday and Stage 2 around a second visit. Phu Quoc as a destination makes the second trip easy to justify.
