Overview
Westcoast International Dental Clinic is Vietnam’s longest-established 100% foreign-invested dental clinic, serving patients at its West Lake location in Hanoi since 2004. Founded by Canadian and Australian dental professionals, the clinic was created to deliver Western-standard dental care to Hanoi’s growing international community.
With over two decades of continuous operation, Westcoast has treated thousands of expats, diplomats, business travelers, and dental tourists. The clinic’s 4.8-star rating across 146 verified reviews reflects a consistent track record of quality care delivered in a professional, internationally oriented environment.
What sets Westcoast apart from most dental clinics in Hanoi is its commitment to three pillars: foreign clinical leadership, CDC-compliant safety standards, and an in-house dental laboratory that gives the team full control over the quality and timing of restorations.
The clinic’s multilingual team speaks six languages – Vietnamese, English, German, French, Japanese, and Italian – making it one of the most accessible clinics in Vietnam for non-English-speaking international patients.
