Implant Brands
Both clinics offer premium implant systems:
| Brand | Greenfield | Westcoast |
|---|---|---|
| Straumann (Swiss) | Yes | Yes |
| Nobel Biocare (Swedish) | No | Yes |
| BioHorizons (American) | Yes | No |
Both carry Straumann – one of the world’s most researched implant brands. Westcoast adds Nobel Biocare, while Greenfield adds BioHorizons. All three are tier-one implant systems with decades of clinical evidence.
Greenfield is more transparent about brand-specific pricing (Straumann at $800-$1,500, BioHorizons at $500-$1,000), while Westcoast uses a general range ($700-$1,800).
Winner: Tie – both carry premium brands. Greenfield is more transparent on brand pricing.
Multilingual Service
This is Westcoast’s standout advantage.
| Language | Greenfield | Westcoast |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnamese | Yes | Yes |
| English | Yes | Yes |
| German | No | Yes |
| French | No | Yes |
| Japanese | No | Yes |
| Italian | No | Yes |
Westcoast’s 6-language team makes it the most linguistically accessible dental clinic in Hanoi. For Japanese, German, French, or Italian-speaking patients, communicating about complex dental procedures in their native language is a significant comfort and safety advantage.
Winner: Westcoast – decisively better for non-English speakers.
Facilities
Greenfield: Boutique Design
Greenfield’s facility is architecturally striking:
- Geometric ceiling design with ambient lighting
- Glass-walled private treatment pods
- Treatment rooms with garden views and natural light
- Private wood-paneled consultation rooms
- Designer lounge with boutique furniture
This is one of the most visually impressive dental clinics in Vietnam.
Westcoast: Professional and Functional
Westcoast has a clean, professional environment:
- Modern dental equipment and 3D imaging
- In-house dental lab (significant operational advantage)
- Comfortable waiting area with international magazines
- Functional clinic layout optimized for patient flow
Less visually dramatic than Greenfield, but the in-house lab is a real clinical advantage – faster turnaround on crowns, veneers, and prosthetics with direct dentist-to-technician communication.
Winner: Greenfield on aesthetics, Westcoast on function – depends on what you value more.
Location
Greenfield: Cau Giay (Southwestern Hanoi)
- 25-30 minutes from the Old Quarter by taxi
- Modern urban neighborhood
- Limited tourist infrastructure nearby
Westcoast: West Lake / Tay Ho
- 15-20 minutes from the Old Quarter by taxi
- Popular expat neighborhood with international restaurants

Our Recommendation
Westcoast International Dental is the better choice for most patients comparing these two clinics. Its 22-year track record, 146 reviews, 6-language team, in-house lab, and foreign-invested clinical leadership provide a level of proven reliability that Greenfield’s 3-year history cannot yet match.
Greenfield Dental is the better choice if you want the lowest prices among premium clinics, specifically want Straumann implants with transparent pricing, or prefer a boutique-style clinic experience.
But the best option is neither of these clinics. Picasso Dental Clinic beats both on every key metric:
| Factor | Picasso Dental | Greenfield | Westcoast |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rating | 5.0 | 4.8 | 4.8 |
| Reviews | 208 | 44 | 146 |
| International patients | 70,000+ | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| ISO 9001 certified | Yes | No | No |
| Implant starting price | $500 | $500 | $700 |
| Crown starting price | $100 | $120 | $150 |
| Open Sundays | Yes | No | No |
