Everything you'll need to know about Dental Crown in Vietnam

What is the cost of Dental Crown in Vietnam?

Within Vietnam, the price for a Dental Crown can significantly fluctuate. This variation is conditioned by elements such as the specific dental problem you're experiencing, the intricacy of the procedure, the variety of dental crown utilized, as well as additional expenses like laboratory costs. Overall expenses can be influenced by whether this procedure integrates with a broader dental care plan. Thus, obtaining a detailed consultation from a dental specialist is key to fully comprehending possible costs.

Prioritize understanding that your dental wellbeing is of investment value. Attempting to conserve funds by choosing a less seasoned dentist or subpar dental facility may instigate extra costs in the aftermath. The monetary value of a Dental Crown proceeding should not be your only consideration. The standing of the dental clinic, the expertise of the dentist, and the care quality provided should also influence your final decision.

What does a Dental Crown Procedure Involve?

You may need several appointments to get a dental crown. During the procedure, you will be given a local anesthetic. Your dentist will reshape the tooth receiving the crown to make room for the crown, but if your tooth is badly decayed or damaged, your dentist will use filling material so the tooth can support the crown. After your tooth is reshaped, a paste or putty will be used to make an impression of the tooth to receive the crown. Sometimes, your dentist may use a digital scanner instead of a paste to do this. Then, your dentist sends the crown to a lab that makes the crown, which may take several days or weeks.

When the crown is ready, your dentist cements the crown to your tooth. With a same-day procedure, the crown is made in your doctor’s office and you only need to wait for about 1 to 2 hours until the crown is made. A properly fitted crown will feel comfortable, and you will be able to chew normally. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene habits are essential to ensure the longevity of your dental crown.

How Long Should I Stay in Vietnam for a Dental Crown Procedure?

Typically, the Dental Crown necessitates a pair of appointments at the dental clinic, separated by a few weeks. In the initial visit, your dentist will ready your tooth and install a short-term crown. The definitive crown generally takes about two to three weeks of wait time for fitting. Thus, if you contemplate undertaking a Dental Crown within Vietnam, preparing for a three-week stay is wise. However, this timespan isn't set in stone and can deviate based upon the unique case and the dentist's guidance. Hence, it's definitely ideal to communicate with your selected clinic to gain a more precise timeline and coordinate your journey suitably.

What's the Recovery Time for Dental Crown Procedures?

Anticipate some sensitivity and discomfort for a couple of days after undertaking a Dental Crown. The majority of patients can revert to daily routines right after the procedure. Notwithstanding, staying away from tough or adhesive foods for some days is crucial to avert any potential harm to your new dental covering. Embrace a soft oral cleanliness regimen during your healing phase to safeguard the surroundings of your newly fitted crown. If you encounter discomfort as you bite, reach out to your dentist for necessary adjustments to the crown.

What sort of Aftercare is Required for Dental Crown Procedures in Vietnam?

Taking care of your mouth after a Dental Crown means keeping your teeth clean, going to the dentist regularly, and eating a balanced diet. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing often will help keep your new crown and other teeth clean and healthy. To avoid damaging your new crown, don't chew hard food or ice (especially if you have a porcelain crown), and avoid grinding or clenching your teeth. Regular dentist appointments can check if your crown is working well and spot any problems early.

What's the Success Rate of Dental Crown Procedures in Vietnam?

The Dental Crown is known to be an effective method boasting high effectiveness - dental crowns' overall survival timeframe may span anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Several factors like the nature of the crown material, quality of dental procedure, the individual's oral cleanliness habits, and the person's broad health and lifestyle conditions play a significant role.

The daily upkeep of these dental crowns significantly impacts their longevity and effectiveness. This embraces thorough brushing and flossing, frequent dental examinations, and preventive dentistry. Individuals who uphold stellar oral hygiene standards and heed their dentist's advice about crown upkeep are more likely to experience better success with their dental crowns. It's also crucial to emphasize that lifestyle actions like grinding teeth or biting on hard substances can harm the crown, shortening its useful life.

Are there Alternatives to Dental Crown Procedures in Vietnam?

The Dental Crown is deemed one of the most effective methods for restoring the form and function of a damaged tooth. But it's important to keep in mind that this is not the only solution.The choice of therapy depends on the patient's dental health, personal preferences, and financial situation. Remember that it's crucial to have a lengthy discussion with your dentist about the wide range of alternatives available. With respect to your particular situation and preference, other potential options can be investigated such as these:

  • Dental fillings can be one such option. For teeth with minor to moderate damage, such as those with cavities or minor fractures, this therapy is ideal. 
  • Dental veneers might also be a fantastic choice. These thin covers intended to cover the teeth's frontal surfaces are essential for enhancing their appearance and protecting them from damage. When compared to dental crowns, veneers have a higher likelihood of maintaining their natural appearance and resisting fading over time. 
  • Dental implants are another excellent choice to take into account. Replacement teeth might be held in these metal frameworks that are surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath your gums. Dental implants can be a long-term option for people who are coping with tooth loss.

What Should You Expect Before and After the Procedure

Before you set forth on your Dental Crown journey, it is vital to comprehend what each step entails. The journey begins with a comprehensive preliminary assessment. The oral health care professional will compile an in-depth report on your dental and medical history. Factoring in your lifestyle attributes is also a significant part of the plan. Aspects like your nutritional choices, dental care routines, and potential tobacco consumption may determine the treatment's effectiveness.

Once the Dental Crown has been performed, anticipate some recovery time. Sensitiveness in the impacted tooth is common, but typically this tenderness dissipates after several days. Your dental professional will instruct you on handling this sensitivity. It might mean employing a less sensitizing toothpaste or rinse, and refraining from extremely high or low-temperature edibles and drinks for a few days. An essential part of proper aftercare following the Dental Crown is maintaining regular dental appointments. 

Looking at the probable outcomes, your tooth may appear severely eroded, discolored or fractured prior to a dental crown procedure. The good news is, post-procedure, your tooth will present a healthy appearance.

What are the Potential Risks and Side Effects of Dental Crown?

While the Dental Crown is generally viewed as a safe and standard dental operation, some potential negative impacts and side effects, even though rare, may occur. These could include sensitivity towards temperature variations, aching gums, and unease surrounding the treated tooth. Occasionally, the crown might loosen or completely detach, often due to the cement eroding under the crown. Should you realize that your crown has loosened or detached, promptly reach out to your dentist to rectify the situation.

A slight chance exists of an allergic reaction to the materials comprising the crown. This is an infrequent occurrence but should not be overlooked in individuals with documented metal allergies. Furthermore, the soft tissue and nerves encircling the tooth may become irritated or inflamed, causing discomfort or toothache.

As one of the most ancient capitals in the world, most tourists will be delighted to explore the city’s historic Old Quarter, spend a beautiful day in Hoan Kiem Lake, or visit the Temple of Literature.
  • Hoi An invites tourists to experience a slow-paced, relaxing lifestyle. The city’s Old Town has successfully preserved Japanese merchant houses and Chinese temples. To get a glimpse of the city, many tourists will opt for a bicycle tour. The city also offers a unique farming and fishing experience for its visitors. Off the coast of the city, tourists will be overjoyed to find a diving paradise with hundreds of different coral and fish.
  • Nha Trang is a coastal city on the South Central Coast of the country. Tourists usually come to this city for its stunning white sandy beaches and scuba diving. In addition to the beautiful beaches, Nha Trang Bay is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful bays.

Weather and Climate in Vietnam

Vietnam, situated uniquely on the map, experiences differing climates in its varied regions. If you travel south, you'll find a tropical monsoon climate. This climate type typically comes with two main seasons - the wet season and the dry season.

Straying north, however, you'll encounter a different story altogether. Here, the climate is categorized as monsoonal but it's accompanied by four clear-cut seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So, regardless of the time of year, there's a high chance you'll experience a unique slice of Vietnamese weather, depending entirely on which part of the country you've set foot in.

  • The south experiences wet and dry season and the wet season lasts from September to December. There is more rainfall between September and November. The dry season starts in January and ends in August and the average annual temperature is around 26 °C. Some cities such as Da Nang are prone to typhoons during the wet season.
  • In the north, spring starts in February characterized by some rain and cold temperature. The end of April is the start of summer, with intense sunshine and sometimes even a heatwave. The average temperature during Summer is 27.5 °C but it can feel a lot hotter. Autumn starts in September and ends in November. Autumn has the best weather, with a lot of sunshine and calm wind. From December to January is Winter and it is generally cold with an average temperature of 17 °C which can drop as low as 7 °C.

Getting Around in Vietnam

There are numerous airports in Vietnam that connect the major cities. However, there are three major international airports where international visitors usually arrive at, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, and Da Nang. Most international flights will arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport which serves domestic and international flights to and from major cities in Asia, Europe, and Australia. In terms of capacity, the biggest airport in the country is the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi.

The airport is a hub for both local and global travel. It houses two terminals within its boundaries. Terminal 1 is tasked with the management of domestic flights, servicing those traveling within the country's borders. On the other hand, Terminal 2 oversees international flight operations, connecting this airport to numerous cities across Asia and Europe. Affordable airlines, including the likes of Jetstar Pacific and VietJet Air, schedule flights departing from and arriving at both Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai airports - a testament to the airport's reach and convenience to travelers with varying budget needs.

Tourists do have a few travel options to get around Vietnam. The country is served by trains running from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and it stops in many of the popular areas such as Da Nang and Nha Trang. Buses are a great option for tourists to get around the country and the buses are privately operated buses called “open tour” buses. There is also a national bus system, but they are generally not as comfortable as the private buses.

Taxis are available in most cities and can be hailed directly from the streets or via a phone call. The fare usually starts at VND 10,000 to VND 12,000. If you need to be quick, try the motorcycle taxis known as Xe Om. You will need to negotiate the price but they can be found in most parts of the cities. Cyclo (similar to trishaw) is also available for short-distance travel within a city. For easier travel, opt for Grab Motorbike, an online hailing app similar to Uber.
