If you want world-class dental care in Hanoi without the Old Quarter’s noise and traffic, Tay Ho — the lakeside expat district built around West Lake — is your answer. Two internationally accredited clinics, a string of 4-star hotels, and one of the city’s most pleasant recovery environments make this neighbourhood the quietly obvious choice for dental tourists.
Why Dental Tourists Choose Tay Ho
Tay Ho is Hanoi’s most international district. The streets around West Lake are home to embassy staff, long-term expats, and the guests of hotels like the InterContinental Westlake and Sheraton Hanoi. As a result, the medical infrastructure here skews toward international standards: English-speaking receptionists, internationally trained clinicians, and hotel concierge teams who regularly refer guests to nearby dental clinics.
The practical case for basing your dental trip in Tay Ho is strong. Compared with the Old Quarter — chaotic, loud, and thick with motorbike traffic — Tay Ho is calm. Streets are wider. The air is cleaner. After a morning appointment, you can walk the 17 km path around West Lake at your own pace, which is exactly the kind of gentle, low-impact activity dentists recommend during implant or extraction recovery.
Featured Clinics in Tay Ho
Picasso Dental Westlake
Picasso Dental Westlake is the district’s flagship dental clinic, purpose-built for expats and international patients. The team includes dentists with training from Australian and US institutions. Digital X-rays, same-day crown milling (CAD/CAM), and IV sedation options are all available on-site. The clinic handles everything from routine cleans to full-arch implant work and handles multi-visit treatment plans for visitors staying in Hanoi for one to two weeks.
Westcoast International Dental
Westcoast International Dental is another strong option in the Tay Ho area, with a particular reputation among long-term expats who want a regular dental home rather than a one-off tourist clinic. The team speaks English fluently and the clinic maintains international sterilisation standards. It covers a broad scope of treatments including veneers, implants, orthodontics, and emergency dental care.

Recovery in Tay Ho: What to Expect
Recovery in Tay Ho is genuinely comfortable. A 30-minute morning walk along the West Lake path is easy to manage even after most outpatient procedures — it is flat, traffic-free, and scenically worthwhile. The neighbourhood has dozens of phở shops and congee stalls within a few minutes of both clinics, which matters more than you might expect: soft, warm, protein-rich meals are exactly what dentists recommend during the first 48–72 hours after implant or extraction work.
For stays, the InterContinental Westlake and Sheraton Hanoi are both walking distance from Picasso Dental Westlake and have concierge teams familiar with the local clinics. Mid-range serviced apartments along Quang An and Xuan Dieu streets offer kitchen facilities — useful for preparing soft-food meals during a longer treatment stay.

Planning Your Trip
Most patients combine dental appointments with genuine leisure time. Tay Ho has enough — lakeside café culture, the Tran Quoc Pagoda island, Quang Ba flower market at dawn — to fill the days between appointments without strain.
