- Top 10 Dental Clinics in Hanoi for Zirconia Dental Crowns (2026)
Reviewed for international patients from Australia, New Zealand & the US | Last updated: February 2025
TL;DR: Zirconia dental crowns in Hanoi cost between USD $83–$320 per tooth depending on the clinic and zirconia brand — compared to AUD $1,500–$2,500+ per crown in Australia. Treatment is completed in 3–5 days in a single trip: no return visit required. Top Hanoi clinics use the same zirconia brands as Australian and US clinics — Cercon (Dentsply Sirona), Lava (3M), Katana (Kuraray Noritake), IPS e.max ZirCAD (Ivoclar), and Nacera (Doceram) — milled in-house with CAD/CAM technology. For patients needing multiple crowns, Hanoi delivers some of the most dramatic savings in all of dental tourism.
Zirconia crowns have become the most popular crown material worldwide, and for good reason. Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) is a ceramic metal oxide with compressive strength of up to 1,400 MPa — roughly five to seven times stronger than natural tooth enamel. It is completely metal-free, which eliminates the dark gum line that gradually appears with older porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns as gum tissue recedes. It is biocompatible, which means no metal sensitivity reactions. And advances in multilayered zirconia — with yttria-gradient designs like Katana UTML and Nacera multicolour — now deliver translucency levels that are difficult to distinguish from natural enamel even under close inspection.
For dental tourists, zirconia crowns have one additional advantage over implants or orthodontics: the entire procedure can be completed in a single trip. If your tooth is prepared, the crown milled, fitted, and adjusted, you can fly home with the permanent crown in place — no return visit, no temporary bridge, no months of waiting. At Hanoi clinics equipped with in-house CAD/CAM milling, this is a 3–5 day process from first consultation to cemented crown.
The savings are substantial. In Australia, a single zirconia crown from a private dentist typically costs AUD $1,500–$2,500. In Hanoi, the equivalent crown using the same internationally branded zirconia block — made on the same category of milling machine — costs USD $83–$320 (approximately AUD $130–$490). For a patient needing six crowns, that gap translates to a saving of AUD $9,000–$15,000 on crown costs alone, after all travel and accommodation expenses are factored in. For patients whose treatment plan includes both crowns and implants, a single trip to Hanoi can address multiple procedures simultaneously, compressing both cost and time.
Before comparing clinics, it is worth understanding that not all “zirconia crowns” are the same product. The label covers a spectrum of materials with meaningfully different aesthetic and mechanical properties.
Solid (monolithic) zirconia is made from a single block of high-strength 3Y-TZP zirconia. It is maximally durable — ideal for molars and premolars where bite force is highest and aesthetics are less critical. The limitation is opacity: monolithic zirconia can appear slightly grey or flat under certain lighting conditions. Brands in this category include original BruxZir and Lava Plus (3M).
Multilayered (gradient) zirconia uses a yttria-gradient blank where translucency increases from the root end of the crown to the biting edge, closely mimicking the natural shading pattern of teeth. This is the current standard for anterior (front) crowns and smile makeover cases where aesthetics are the primary driver. Leading brands include Katana UTML/STML (Kuraray Noritake), Nacera multicolour (Doceram), and Cercon HT Speed (Dentsply Sirona).
IPS e.max ZirCAD (Ivoclar) is a hybrid material combining zirconia strength with glass-ceramic translucency. It is often categorised separately as it blurs the line between zirconia and lithium disilicate e.max, and is priced accordingly.
IPS e.max (lithium disilicate) is technically not zirconia — it is a glass-ceramic — but it is frequently offered alongside zirconia at Hanoi clinics as the premium aesthetic option for visible front teeth. E.max crowns are thinner, more translucent, and more lifelike than any zirconia product, but have lower flexural strength and are not recommended for high-force molar positions. Pricing typically sits in the same premium tier as high-translucency zirconia.
When comparing quotes from Hanoi clinics, confirm which specific zirconia brand and product tier you are being quoted — the difference between a basic solid zirconia crown and a premium multilayered Katana or Nacera crown is significant in both aesthetics and price.
Zirconia crown quality depends less on the material (since the same international brands are available across clinics) and more on the fabrication process, the prosthodontist’s skill, and the clinic’s ability to manage the patient experience efficiently during a short visit.
In-house CAD/CAM laboratory. This is the most important operational factor for dental tourists. A clinic with in-house milling can design your crown digitally, mill it on-site, and have it ready for fitting in one to three days. Clinics that send work to external dental laboratories are dependent on that lab’s schedule — which may extend your stay by several days or create situations where adjustments require an additional appointment.
Digital Smile Design (DSD) and 3D scanning. For smile makeover cases involving multiple crowns, DSD software allows you to preview the intended result before any tooth preparation begins. Combined with intraoral 3D scanning (which eliminates traditional impression putty), this digital workflow produces more accurate crowns with better fit and fewer adjustment appointments.
Experienced prosthodontist leadership. Crown aesthetics — shade matching, margin fit, contour, and surface texture — depend heavily on the prosthodontist’s eye and the technician’s craft. Look for clinics where the lead prosthodontist has specific cosmetic dentistry credentials and a portfolio of completed smile makeover cases.
Transparent material documentation. Ask for the specific brand name and product code of the zirconia block being used in your crown. Reputable clinics should have no hesitation providing this documentation, which also serves as warranty evidence.
Warranty terms. Standard zirconia crown warranties at quality Hanoi clinics range from 5 to 20 years. Confirm whether warranty service is available remotely (for international patients who cannot return easily) or whether repairs require a return visit.
Root canal coordination. If a tooth requiring a crown has been heavily filled, significantly decayed, or is showing signs of pulp involvement, it may need root canal treatment before crown placement. Clinics that can provide both procedures in-house — and coordinate them efficiently within a short visit — are significantly more convenient for international patients with tight itineraries.
Picasso Dental Clinic is SmileJet’s top-ranked clinic in Hanoi for zirconia crown treatment, and for international patients in particular, the reasons are straightforward: over 52,000 international patients treated across Vietnam since 2013, documented outcomes across the full spectrum of restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and a 7-day operating schedule that makes managing a multi-appointment crown case genuinely easy within a short trip.
For patients who need zirconia crowns as part of a broader smile makeover — combined with implants, veneers, or orthodontics — Picasso’s breadth of services means every element of a comprehensive treatment plan can be coordinated within a single clinic and a single trip. This is a meaningful operational advantage that simpler crown-only clinics cannot match. Published review data from dental tourism aggregators includes a direct, verified testimonial from an Australian patient who travelled from Sydney specifically to Picasso, undertaking a complex multi-treatment course including crown preparation across multiple visits, explicitly praising the professionalism, clear communication, and results compared to the best dental care available in Australia over 20 years.
Nobel Biocare implant systems are used as standard, and the clinic’s cosmetic and restorative services cover the full zirconia material spectrum. Both branches operate on identical service standards with the same 7-day hours, giving patients flexibility in appointment scheduling if one branch is fully booked for a particular session.
Why Picasso Ranks #1 for International Crown Patients:
Best for: International patients who need zirconia crowns as part of a broader treatment plan (combined with implants, veneers, or other restorative work), and patients who want the most thoroughly documented track record with foreign patients in Hanoi.

Dencos Luxury is one of Hanoi’s most distinctive clinics — designed from the ground up as a premium cosmetic dentistry destination with a European 5-star spa aesthetic applied to the clinical environment. For zirconia crown patients who are undertaking smile makeover work and want both outstanding results and a premium patient experience, Dencos represents the high end of what Hanoi’s cosmetic dentistry market offers.
The clinic is led by Dr. Pham Duy Quang, a cosmetic dentistry specialist with over 20 years of expertise and more than 7,000 completed cosmetic cases — one of the most experienced smile makeover practitioners in Vietnam. The full crown team includes additional prosthodontic specialists with 10+ years each. Patient reviews from international visitors consistently mention painless procedures, natural-looking results, and the clinic’s capacity to handle complex multi-tooth cases involving staining, decay, and alignment issues simultaneously. One verified international patient specifically noted that crown placement that had caused pain at other clinics was completely painless at Dencos.
The Dencos pricing structure covers the widest material range on this list, from standard zirconia at USD $107 per tooth through to ultra-premium Orodent (Italian) crowns at USD $690–$775 per tooth. This breadth lets patients make an informed choice matched to their aesthetic goals and budget rather than being defaulted to a single product tier.
Key highlights:
Indicative pricing: USD $107–$260 (standard zirconia) | USD $345–$430 (mid-range: Cercon HT, Nacera, Lava Plus) | USD $520–$605 (premium: Lava Esthetic, Orodent) | USD $690–$775 (ultra-premium: Orodent Bleach Innovation, Vision Pro) Best for: Patients prioritising a premium cosmetic experience and the widest selection of crown materials from basic to ultra-premium, particularly those wanting a 20-year warranty and a spa-level clinic environment. 📍 Multiple Hanoi locations — contact clinic for nearest branch details 🌐 dencosluxurydental.com
Westcoast International has operated in Hanoi for nearly 20 years and built its reputation on the most internationally credentialed clinical team in the city. For zirconia crowns specifically, the combination of Dr. Tien’s Masters from the University of Sydney and the clinic’s well-established cosmetic dentistry workflow means international patients — particularly Australians who are familiar with Sydney dental standards — know exactly what benchmark they are working against. Verified Australian reviews specifically mention crowns fitted at Westcoast alongside implant work, with results described as indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Westcoast is the clinic of choice for patients with complex aesthetic requirements where the stakes are highest: visible front teeth, multiple crowns on prominent teeth, or smile makeover cases combining crowns with veneers. The higher pricing reflects the premium clinical team and the full-service international environment.
Key highlights:
Best for: Patients who want the most internationally credentialed clinical team in Hanoi, particularly for high-stakes aesthetic cases on visible front teeth where the surgeon’s training background directly matters. 📍 2nd Floor, Syrena Center, 51 Xuan Dieu Street, Tay Ho District, Hanoi 🕐 Mon–Fri: 9:00 AM–7:00 PM | Sat: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM | Sun: Closed
Greenfield Dental has risen quickly to become one of the most recommended clinics in Hanoi for international patients, holding a 4.9-star Google rating and carrying a specific “Australians’ #1 choice” designation from multiple independent dental tourism aggregators. For zirconia crowns, Greenfield’s dual advantages are its transparent USD/VND pricing — rare among Hanoi clinics — and its CAD/CAM same-day crown capability, marketed under the CEREC banner.
The CEREC same-day crown system at Greenfield deserves specific attention for dental tourists with tight schedules. Where conventional crown fabrication involves tooth preparation on day one, an impression, laboratory fabrication over 2–3 days, and a fitting appointment at the end, CEREC enables chairside milling of a zirconia crown in approximately two hours. For patients who can only spare 2–3 days in Hanoi, this is the most efficient crown pathway available.
Dr. Ta Thi Hong Nhung, whose Certificate in Implant and Restorative Surgery from the University of Bordeaux indicates genuine international cosmetic credentials, leads the restorative team.
Key highlights:
Best for: Patients with 2–3 day schedules who need a fast turnaround, and patients who want transparent pricing and confirmed Australian patient track record before travelling. 📍 95 Trung Hoa Street, Cau Giay District, Hanoi 📞 WhatsApp/Zalo: +84-906-621-988 📧 hello@nhakhoagreenfield.com
Thuy Anh Dental is one of Hanoi’s leading dedicated cosmetic and restorative dental groups, with over 10 years of specialisation in zirconia crown work and a fully published price structure that is among the most transparent available from any Hanoi clinic. The clinic operates an in-house zirconia milling system — which directly reduces cost compared to clinics relying on external laboratories — and uses German-manufactured zirconia materials with CAD/CAM precision milling.
For international patients, Thuy Anh’s AI-powered Digital Smile Design system is a notable feature: before any tooth is prepared, the software generates a preview of how your crowns will look based on your facial proportions, tooth shape preferences, and shade selection. This takes significant guesswork out of the aesthetic outcome and is particularly valuable for patients who have not previously seen DSD in use at their home dentist.
The clinic’s published pricing — USD $83/tooth for solid zirconia, USD $360 for premium Zirconia CAD/CAM German material — provides one of the clearest benchmark anchors for understanding where different Hanoi clinics sit on the price-quality spectrum. Warranty is 10 years on the CAD/CAM German zirconia product.
Key highlights:
Indicative pricing: USD $83/tooth (solid zirconia) | USD $360/tooth (premium German CAD/CAM zirconia) Best for: Patients who want DSD smile preview technology and transparent published pricing with an in-house lab, particularly for multiple crowns where the per-tooth savings compound significantly. 📍 Branch 1: 181 Yen Lang Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi 📍 Branch 2: 10 Dich Vong Hau Street, Cau Giay District, Hanoi 🕐 Monday – Sunday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Phu Hoa International Dental Clinic stands out on one dimension that separates it from nearly every other clinic on this list: a 20-year warranty on zirconia crowns. For international patients who are investing in a high-quality smile makeover and want the strongest possible warranty coverage available, Phu Hoa’s warranty term is the longest in Hanoi.
The clinic is led by PhD, MD Nguyen Phu Hoa alongside MSc, MD Duong Thu Trang — both trained through major hospital systems with deep academic credentials. The crown fabrication process here is notably conservative: preparation is designed to preserve maximum natural tooth structure, with a specific protocol of limiting enamel removal to no more than 0.3mm where clinically appropriate, and avoiding pulp treatment unless genuinely necessary. For patients who are concerned about irreversible tooth preparation and want their crowns placed with the most conservative possible approach, Phu Hoa’s protocol philosophy is aligned with that priority.
Published pricing is USD $320 per tooth — toward the upper end of the Hanoi zirconia range — which reflects the premium credentials of the clinical team and the length of the warranty.
Key highlights:
Indicative pricing: USD $320/tooth Best for: Patients who want the maximum warranty term available in Hanoi, the most conservative tooth preparation approach, and deep academic credentials in the clinical team. 📍 Branch 1: 484 Tran Khat Chan Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi 📍 Branch 2: Phong Lan 1-25, Nguyen Lam Street, Vinhomes Riverside, Long Bien District, Hanoi 🕐 Monday – Sunday: 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM
Australian Dental Clinic has the longest track record of any clinic in Hanoi specifically serving international patients, having been established in 2006 as the city’s first clinic catering to expatriates and foreign visitors. For zirconia crown patients, the clinic offers ISO-certified quality standards, 3D imaging including the Nomad Pro 2, and a dedicated sterilisation nurse — all credibility signals that matter when choosing a clinic for permanent dental work.
Lead prosthodontist Dr. Pham Duy Quang brings Harvard School of Dental Medicine certification, ICOI membership, and nearly two decades of experience treating international patients. Verified Australian reviews specifically describe crown work performed alongside implant treatment as “perfect” and indistinguishable from natural teeth. The clinic’s ISO certification, free airport pickup, and English/Japanese-speaking staff make the logistics of a short dental visit seamless.
Key highlights:
Best for: Patients who prioritise ISO certification and the most established foreign patient track record in Hanoi, combined with Harvard-trained leadership and strong logistics support. 📍 3 Nguyen Du Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi 🕐 Mon–Sat: 8:00 AM–6:00 PM
BeDental’s University of Melbourne-trained founder Dr. Nguyen Hoang Anh brings a direct academic reference point that is particularly reassuring for Australian patients: he trained to the same standard they are trying to replicate in Hanoi. The clinic uses IPS e.max and Dentsply Sirona prosthetics alongside multiple implant systems, covering both the zirconia crown and e.max crown spectrum for patients who want the highest available aesthetic outcome on visible front teeth.
BeDental’s free video consultation service is operationally valuable for crown patients: share your photos and existing X-rays before booking flights, receive a personalised treatment plan and material recommendation, and arrive in Hanoi with the protocol already confirmed. This eliminates the need for an exploratory first appointment that might shift your schedule.
Key highlights:
Best for: Patients who want to confirm their treatment plan and material selection before booking flights, particularly those considering e.max over zirconia for aesthetic front tooth work, and those who value University of Melbourne academic benchmarking in clinical leadership.
Global Dental sits within a five-minute walk of Hanoi’s iconic Hoan Kiem Lake — making it the most centrally located clinic on this list, particularly convenient for patients staying in the Old Quarter or the central hotel district. Dr. Cong Thanh Pham established the clinic with a philosophy of honest, transparent communication: verified international reviews consistently describe treatment options explained clearly in English, itemised cost breakdowns, and no pressure toward unnecessary procedures.
For zirconia crown patients undertaking a short Hanoi visit, the combination of central location, transparent pricing, and English-fluency makes Global Dental an efficient and low-stress choice for straightforward crown cases — single crowns, implant crowns, or small numbers of front tooth restorations.
Key highlights:
Best for: Patients staying in the central Hanoi / Old Quarter area who want a trusted, transparent clinic within walking distance of major hotels, particularly for single crowns or small restorations. 📍 Near Hoan Kiem Lake, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi
Viet Phap (Vietnam-France) International Dental Clinic has been operating since 2010 and is one of the most expansive dental networks in Hanoi, with nine branches across Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Quang Ninh. The clinic was awarded “Top 10 Reputable Dental Clinics in Vietnam” recognition by the national healthcare industry. Importantly for crown patients, Viet Phap is one of the few clinics in Vietnam that stocks Nacera (Doceram) zirconia — a German-engineered premium brand that is not widely available elsewhere in Hanoi — alongside more common options including Cercon, Titan, and Venus.
The 7-day Mon–Sun operating schedule (8:00 AM to 7:30 PM) is one of the longest in Hanoi, and the network’s multiple Hanoi locations means if one branch is fully booked, another is accessible. The warranty commitment is up to 20 years on premium crowns. For dental tourists who want maximum scheduling flexibility and access to Nacera zirconia specifically, Viet Phap is a strong option.
Key highlights:

Unlike implants or orthodontics, zirconia crowns can realistically be completed in a single trip to Hanoi, often within 3–5 days. Here is what a typical short-stay crown visit looks like.
Day 1 — Consultation and assessment. Your dentist examines the tooth or teeth, takes X-rays (and CBCT if there is any concern about pulp status or bone condition), and confirms the treatment plan. If Digital Smile Design is being used, this session includes a 3D scan and smile preview. Material and shade selection happens here. If root canal treatment is required before crown placement, it begins at this appointment.
Day 1 or 2 — Tooth preparation. Under local anaesthetic, the tooth is prepared by removing a layer of outer enamel to make room for the crown. A digital scan or impression is taken. A temporary crown is fitted to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent crown is fabricated.
Days 2–3 — Crown fabrication. At clinics with in-house CAD/CAM milling (Greenfield CEREC, Thuy Anh, and others), the crown can be milled the same day or overnight. At clinics using an in-house but separately scheduled laboratory, this typically takes 1–3 days. Confirm fabrication timelines with your chosen clinic when planning your stay.
Day 3–5 — Fitting and cementation. The permanent crown is tried in, colour checked, bite adjusted, and cemented. Final polish and post-treatment instructions are given. You can fly home the same day if clinically appropriate.
Total stay required: 3–5 days for most straightforward zirconia crown cases. Complex cases involving root canal treatment, multiple teeth, or bridge work may require 5–7 days. Confirm your itinerary with the clinic during pre-travel consultation.
Is the same zirconia material available in Hanoi as in Australia?
Yes. The major international zirconia brands — Cercon (Dentsply Sirona, Germany), Lava (3M ESPE, USA), Katana (Kuraray Noritake, Japan), IPS e.max ZirCAD (Ivoclar, Liechtenstein), Nacera (Doceram, Germany) — are available at top Hanoi clinics. These brands are distributed globally, and a Vietnamese dental laboratory ordering Cercon HT blocks receives the same product as an Australian laboratory. The quality of the crown depends on the milling machine calibration, the dental technician’s skill, and the prosthodontist’s fitting — which is why clinic selection matters even when the raw material is identical.
Can I complete zirconia crown treatment in a single trip?
Yes, for most crown cases. Unlike implants (which require a healing period of several months), a zirconia crown can be prepared, milled, fitted, and cemented within 3–5 days. If you require root canal treatment on the same tooth before crown placement, add 1–2 days. Confirm the specific timeline with your chosen clinic before booking flights.
What is the warranty on zirconia crowns from Hanoi clinics?
Warranties vary from 5 years (standard) to 20 years (premium tiers at Phu Hoa and Viet Phap). Confirm what the warranty covers — whether it includes free replacement in the event of clinical failure, and whether that replacement can be performed remotely if you are back in Australia. Also ask for a complete digital record of your crown including material brand, shade code, and fabrication date, which any dentist worldwide can use if adjustment or replacement becomes necessary.
What is the difference between zirconia and e.max, and which should I choose?
Zirconia is stronger and is recommended for molars, premolars, bridges, and any posterior tooth position where bite force is high. E.max (lithium disilicate) is more translucent and lifelike and is preferred for visible front teeth where aesthetics are the primary goal and bite force is lower. For a smile makeover involving both front and back teeth, many patients receive multilayered zirconia in the back and e.max in the front. Your prosthodontist will recommend the right allocation based on your specific case.
Do I need a root canal before getting a crown?
Not necessarily. Root canal treatment is required when the tooth’s pulp (nerve and blood supply) is infected or significantly at risk — most commonly when there is deep decay, a cracked tooth reaching the pulp, or an existing large filling that has allowed bacteria access to the root canal. For a tooth with a manageable crack, superficial decay, or cosmetic discolouration with no pulp involvement, a crown can be placed directly. Your dentist will assess pulp status via X-ray and clinical examination. If there is any uncertainty, a CBCT scan provides a definitive view.
Can I get multiple crowns and implants in the same trip?
Yes, and this is one of the most efficient uses of a dental tourism visit to Hanoi. Zirconia crowns and implant preparation (first-stage surgery) can be performed in the same trip. The implant fixture will integrate over 3–6 months before the final crown is fitted on the implant, but the natural tooth crowns can be completed before you fly home. Discuss your full treatment plan with the clinic during pre-travel consultation so that appointments can be scheduled in the right sequence.
Before confirming your booking, raise these questions with any clinic you are considering.
First: which specific zirconia brand and product code will be used for your crown — ask for the exact commercial name, not just “German zirconia” or “premium ceramic.” Second: what is the fabrication timeline from tooth preparation to fitting, and does the clinic use in-house milling or an external laboratory? Third: what is the warranty term and what does it cover — specifically, whether warranty claims can be managed remotely for international patients. Fourth: will you receive a digital record including material brand, shade code, crown design file, and fitting date? Fifth: if root canal treatment turns out to be needed, can it be completed in-house and within your planned itinerary, and what is the additional cost?
