Painless Tooth Extraction in Ho Chi Minh | Safe & Painless Removal
WHAT IS TOOTH EXTRACTION?
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a damaged or loose natural tooth is removed. A dentist or oral surgeon performs this minor surgery under local anesthesia. They’ll carefully separate the gum, expand the bone socket, and remove the tooth.
For adults, dental implants are the best way to replace a missing tooth after extraction. Implants help restore your ability to chew, improve your smile, and prevent other dental problems.

INDICATIONS FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION?
DEEPLY DECAY TEETH
When a cavity is too large or infected, and cannot be restored with a filling or root canal treatment.
TRAUMATIC INJURIES
Severely fractured or damaged teeth that cannot be saved
SEVERELY LOOSE TEETH
Often caused by periodontal disease or bone loss.
WISDOM TEETH
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that cause pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.
ORTHODONTIC PREPARATION
Extractions to create space for teeth to move during orthodontic treatment.
IMPACTED OR MISALIGNED TEETH
Teeth that are crowded or out of position, affecting aesthetics or function.
HOW LONG DOES A TOOTH EXTRACTION TAKE?
The duration of a tooth extraction procedure can fluctuate based on the type of tooth to be extracted, its condition, and the intricacy of the surgical process.
Routine extractions, such as emergency tooth extraction, teeth with traumatic fractures necessitating immediate extraction, and premolars being extracted prior to orthodontic treatment, typically require approximately 10-30 minutes per tooth.
Complex extractions, including molar removals, wisdom tooth extractions, impacted tooth extractions, and extractions of infected teeth, necessitate more intricate surgical procedures and consequently consume a longer duration, generally ranging from 45-60 minutes per tooth.
SAFE, PAINLESS, FAST HEALING TOOTH EXTRACTION
AT SAIGON CENTER DENTAL CLINIC
The dentist will check your teeth and decide which one needs to be pulled out.
Taking a dental X-ray to evaluate the tooth’s position, angulation, and complexity.
The tooth extraction will be done in a completely clean and sterile room
HOW LONG DOES A TOOTH EXTRACTION TAKE TO HEAL?
The healing after a tooth extraction depends on the complexity of the procedure and the individual’s health, but it generally takes from a few days to several weeks.
- First 24-48 hours: Mild pain and swelling are normal. Avoid disturbing the blood clot and rest well.
- First week: Swelling peaks within 2-3 days and then gradually decreases. Mild pain can be managed with painkillers.
- 2-3 weeks: The gum heals, and swelling and bruising should subside. The bone continues to heal underneath.
- 1-2 months: The gum tissue fully heals, but the bone where the tooth was removed will still be recovering.
- 3-6 months: Full bone healing.
Recovery speed varies depending on the extraction’s difficulty, overall health, and post-care.
TOOTH EXTRACTION AFTERCARE GUIDELINES
Proper aftercare following a tooth extraction is crucial for ensuring fast healing, reducing pain, and preventing complications.
WHAT TO DO AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION?
Bite on gauze
Bite down on the gauze for 30-60 minutes to control bleeding. If bleeding persists, replace the gauze and continue biting.
Apply ice
Place an ice pack on the outside of your cheek for 10-20 minutes to reduce swelling. Rest for 20 minutes before repeating.
Rest:
After tooth extraction, you should avoid heavy physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to allow your body to focus on healing.
Oral hygiene
Brush your teeth gently, avoiding the extraction site.
After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to help keep the area clean.
Pain medication
Pain relievers can be used as prescribed by your doctor to feel more comfortable after tooth extraction. Use as directed by your dentist.
Eat and drink properly
Consume soft, cool foods like soups, porridge, and smoothies.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
WHAT TO AVOID?
Don’t rinse your mouth vigorously
This may dislodge the blood clot, causing a “dry socket”.
Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol
These substances can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.
Don’t use a straw:
Sucking can dislodge the blood clot and interfere with the healing process.
Avoid hard or chewy foods:
These can irritate the extraction site or get stuck in the wound.
TOOTH EXTRACTION COST
The tooth extraction cost varies based on the tooth type and complexity. The tooth extraction charges for a simple extraction range from $24 per tooth, while more complex ones, like wisdom tooth extraction, can cost from $80. Tooth extraction cost without insurance can be higher, as you’ll pay the full amount out of pocket. Always check with your dentist for an accurate estimate.
| TEETH EXTRACTION | DENTAL COST (USD) |
DISCOUNT PRICE (USD) |
| Teeth extraction | 30 – 60 | 24 – 48 |

After seeing myself in some vacation pictures I decided it was time to brighten up my smile! Picked Saigon Center Dental Clinic after reading reviews. This was on a Sunday morning, I called and that afternoon I was getting my teeth cleaned, some minor repairs, and whitened. They speak English which helps as I speak little Vietnamese. Kept me informed on what was happening during each step of the procedure and continually asked if I was feeling comfortable. All work was completed within an hour and half and at a fraction of the cost I would have paid back in the USA. Then they gave me a free gift of a home whitening kit! Got back to hotel and my wife was so impressed she came the next day for the same treatment. Super job and so easy to get in, highly recommend this clinic for whitening!
I have had 4 implants with this dentist, very happy with the end result, would highly recommend

Amazing customer service, communication and dentistry.
I contacted the centre at lunchtime and was given an afternoon appointment.
I received 4 fillings, 2 of which where free of charge. I also had my teeth cleaned and polished. I also opted in for some teeth whitening as they had a promotion on. I paid a faction of the price I would of in the UK.
Such friendly and helpful staff.

Messaged for an appointment online and they were very flexible with me even with last minute changes and with me arriving late for teeth whitening.
"In this month, we have big promotion for teeth whiteming treatment. The cost of laser teeth whitening is 160 usd (4Million VND) ( additional gift : check up your teeth + cleaning + stain removal + polish + home kit )" - this is the deal I got as part of their end of year sale. I've been quoted slightly cheaper prices without the home kit in Da Nang & Hanoi so I decided to go for it.
Staff spoke English to a decent level. The check was super quick, literally a 2 minute scan of my teeth by a female dentist, she performed the cleaning which felt thorough and then a mould was used for my upper and lower teeth before the teeth whitening gel was applied. 3x rounds of it under UV of 15 minutes each, my teeth did not feel sensitive sensations until the last round and post treatment.
The home kit I have to come back to pick up tomorrow but I also got some toothpaste for free 😊 overall efficient experience, there's Moto parking in front of the office too which is useful!
To be honest I had my teeth whitened about 7/8 months ago so there wasn't a huge difference but I'm glad I got it redone either way.

Came here for whitening services. Came with cleaning as well. Everything went well. Tooth was a little sensitive during the whitening procedure. Recommend using a sensitive toothpaste everyday for at least a month, prior to whitening your teeth. I felt the pain was less compared to last time I whitened here.
Axcellent service, amazings doctors and all the teams ! 100 % recommend this place for quality service, and people cares. Thank you so much again for the job and treatment.
My experience at SCDC was going to be one of hell…? But turned out to be a pleasant and trouble free procedure. Each visit making me feel welcome and humoured. The Vietnamese warmth and kindness was reassuring and from the first visit making me feel like I had made the right decision to come to this wonderful country. I’ve not ever looked forward to going to a dentist ,SCDC has given me a reassuring pleasant feeling and going to dentist fearless . Thankyou to the wonderful team for doing a great job.
I had a great experience at the cleaning the staff is very friendly and the head doctors together with his assistent are very careful about the jobs they are doing

Very good experience! thank you so much- drilling without pain! Ver friendly and professional staff were helping me even without asking for appointment at the first visit! Highly appreciated!
Excellent customer service and quality. My mom always chooses Saigon Center Dental Clinic when she flies back to Viet Nam for a dentist service.
Really good experience here, very professional, clean and excellent service.
Magnificent service, impeccable work, more than delighted with the service and employees
I really liked the service at the clinic. I was a bit afraid to come in the beginning because all the reviews are 5 stars or nothing which seems to be fake but in the end I’m super happy I did.
Everyone was nice and helpful, I liked my doctors who was super gentle and always checked if I’m okey and gave me time to rest after treating each tooth. They were also very efficient, it only took 1.5 hours to treat 8 teeth.
The initial check was for free and then they told me the price 22 USD for each filling, which was exactly like the price they told me on the phone. They were really transparent with their pricing and there were no additional costs or fees in the end.

I wasn't expecting the work I needed on my teeth. But the advice I was given was a shock to me initially. The advise was given after multiple scans and talked through to me clearly and everything was explained to me as to the reason for the treatment that I needed so that I can have all the information I needed to make my decision. The treatment I received over the 2 weeks that I needed to complete the first phase was exceptional. Minimal pain and without any complications. Just needed to complete phase 2 and if it's as good as how it been then I'll be happy. Overall a great experience so far.
Excellent! Fast and efficient with good communication. Was a nice experience. I had a deep clean, 1 x crown and 2 ceramic onlays...thank you team
I broke my tooth in half and had to get a crown fitted, from stepping foot into the clinic I was met with some of the friendliest and most helpful staff I’ve ever met. I was immediately put at ease about my situation and guided upstairs to be seen by a dentist, they asked me how long I had and I said 2 days and they said that they would be able to get it done and they did with the utmost care, urgency and professionalism! The next day I was fitted painlessly with a crown that looks identical to a real tooth, I highly recommend anybody in Saigon to chose here as their first and only dental clinic. The best of the best.
This is seriously the best dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, as rated on Google. My daughter required an emergency root canal this morning, and they took her in straight away. So caring, patient as to ensure my frightened daughter (scared of injections) was comfortable and calm throughout the whole 2.5 hour surgery. The result was excellent and she was able to eat food without any pain or discomfort straight away. Many thanks to Dr Van and team for saving the day! Highly recommend for any tourist foreigners, like us, who require immediate or emergency dental procedures.
Traveled from Australia. 1/4 of the normal price with no extra costs. The cost of dental work is affordable and highly recommend treatment here
They make you feel comfortable and the service is A1 at sai hon center dental clinic. I'm very happy with there professionalism
It was a great dental work , with dentist here friendly and English widely spoken. The receptionist is honestly and beautifully ^^

I had a dental emergency and was promptly booked in that morning.
From the beginning to the end of my visits the service provided was exceptional.
The receptionists were friendly and very helpful, service with a smile!
They even followed up after a few days of my crown being installed to check in on how I was feeling
I was seen by Dr Taxi who was attuned to my needs and made me feel comfortable throughout my appointments.
I had a root canal, crown and 7 fillings, including a scale, clean and polish!
He did a phenomenal job and explained that I would feel some discomfort following but that it would settle which it did, that gave me comfort knowing what to expect.
He provided me with a script to get antibiotics, pain killers and anti inflammatory medication which I was to take after the root canal treatment in preparation for the crown installation on day 3.
He put a temporary cap over my tooth to protect it before the installation, I cannot fault the service he provided.
Needless to say I am a happy and very satisfied customer and would definitely use their services again!

Really friendly staff and the place were clean and tidy. Highly recommended for everyone who is looking to get their teeth checked.
High quality service, very attentive and professional. Will be making a return if I need to.
There is nothing negative to say about Saigon Dental Clinic. The staff is very friendly and the doctors are very competent. I was very worried about having implants because of the pain. But these were unfounded, I never felt any pain. It wasn't so easy with my wife. She required general anesthesia to perform the procedure. We had to go to a hospital, but we were 100% supported by the Saigon Dental Clinic. The prices are acceptable, in Europe I would have paid at least three times as much. I can recommend the clinic with a clear conscience
Second visit. Came here in 2023 and came again in 2024 for check up, scale and polish and this year teeth whitening. Great service, friendly staff, very clean and with modern facilities . Also very accommodating as we rescheduled our appointment to an earlier time due to husband having tooth ache. We rescheduled on Saturday for a Sunday appointment (was originally shielded for Tuesday) and this was no issue.
Very pleasant, helpful and professional. I had 2 implants, a crown and a filling over 4 sessions and the quality is of very high standard. I would highly recommend Saigon Dental Implants.
I came here through a family introduction, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My dentist was exceptionally thorough and consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. This was by far the best dental experience I've ever had. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would! Highly recommend!
"I had a wonderful experience at Saigon Dental Center. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm welcome from the reception team. The clinic space is very clean, modern and feels welcoming. comfortable.
The doctor is truly dedicated and professional. I came to have my wisdom teeth removed and my teeth whitened and the doctor explained the treatment process very clearly, as well as what I needed to pay attention to after treatment. Throughout the process, the doctor and assistant were always gentle, careful and concerned about my feelings.
The treatment results far exceeded my expectations. I feel much more confident with my new smile. I will definitely come back and recommend Dentistry to friends and relatives. Thank you team for giving me a wonderful dental experience!"

Very professional service delivered here. Place is clean and tidy. Staff and doctors are able to speak good English and take time to provide any needed explanation. Did dental hygiene (scaling & polishing) here and my teeth are extremely clean!
Excellent service and great team work. Recommended for dental work any time. Regards Chris
I came here on an emergency from New York visiting family here in Ho Chi Min City. And in all honestly very kind people and helpful. The dentist that worked on my teeth was very professional and excellent at his craft. Next year I will come back here to do the complete implants on top and bottom. I highly recommend Nha Khoa Sài Gòn Center.
I have had All-On-4® dental work for 3 months now and I am very pleased with the result. I am glad that I chose Dr Koon, who is amazing, professional, patient, and caring. He made me feel comfortable and at ease for my All-on-4 treatment. The staff at the point dental are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend The Point Dental to anyone.”
The best service in Vietnam. Work very neat ,fast, and efficient! Can't put it in words how good this dentist is operating and against a good price as well! The dentist has adapted to my travel plans and still managed to do an absolutely fabulous job! THANK YOU.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Tooth Removal
What to eat after tooth extraction?
After a tooth extraction, it’s essential to focus on soft, easy-to-eat foods to promote healing. Opt for foods like yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and soups. Cold or lukewarm foods can help soothe the extraction site. Avoid foods that are hard, crunchy, chewy, or spicy, as they may irritate the socket or dislodge the blood clot. Drink plenty of water, but refrain from using a straw for at least 24 hours to avoid the risk of dry socket.
How does the nomal socket after tooth extraction?
A normal socket after tooth extraction looks like this: right after the extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the wound and promote healing. It’s normal to feel mild pain and swelling for a few days.
The socket should not have any infection, which means there should be no pus, bad odor, or severe pain. Within 1-2 weeks, the gum tissue starts to heal and close up. If you experience unusual pain, swelling, or notice an unpleasant smell, it could be a sign of infection, and you should contact your dentist.
Looking for tooth extraction near me?
Visit a trusted local dental clinic for safe and professional care. Many clinics offer services like simple extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and emergency extractions. Check reviews and ensure they have experienced dentists and proper sterilization standards for the best experience.
Is an X-ray needed before tooth extraction?
Yes, an X-ray is usually needed before a tooth extraction. It helps the dentist assess the tooth’s condition, root structure, and surrounding bone, ensuring a safe and effective procedure.
Can you extract a tooth while it’s hurting?
Yes, but it depends on the cause of the pain. If there’s an infection, the dentist may treat it first with antibiotics to ensure safety. Always consult a dentist for proper guidance.
