The Ultimate Guide to Getting Zirconia Crowns in Vietnam

If you’re considering a smile makeover, zirconia crowns in Vietnam are one of the best-value treatments available worldwide. With Glamjet, you save 70–80% compared to Australia, New Zealand, or the USA, while enjoying premium brands, accredited clinics, and a stress-free dental holiday.

What is a Zirconia Crown?

A zirconia crown is a type of dental crown made from zirconium dioxide, one of the strongest and most biocompatible ceramics available. Unlike older porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, zirconia is metal-free, stain-resistant, and chip-resistant.

The crown covers the entire tooth structure (360 degrees), restoring both function and aesthetics. Depending on the brand, zirconia crowns can be standard (stronger, less translucent) or multi-layered/high translucency (more aesthetic, natural finish). 

Who is Suitable for Zirconia Crowns?

Zirconia crowns are recommended when a tooth needs full coverage for strength and durability, not just a cosmetic overlay like veneers. You may be a good candidate if you have:

  • Root canal treated teeth needing reinforcement
  • Overcrowded teeth or bite issues like overbite or crossbite
  • Large fillings or worn enamel
  • Heavily stained or discoloured teeth that veneers cannot hide
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding) requiring stronger materials
  • Bite issues such as cross-bite, overbite, or bruxism (teeth grinding)

💡 Tip: If your teeth are healthy and alignment is good, veneers may be enough. But if function and bite strength are the priority, zirconia crowns are usually the better choice. Fill in our consultation form and our dentist will recommend the most suitable treatments for your case.

How Long Does the Zirconia Crown Procedure Take?

With Glamjet, most patients complete treatment in 4–5 days:

  • Day 0: Arrival, hotel check-in.
  • Day 1: Consultation, 3D scan, tooth prep, temporary crowns placed.
  • Day 2: Crowns crafted in in-house lab.
  • Day 3–4: Crown fitting, bite adjustment, smile reveal.
  • Day 5: Optional follow-up.

Is the Zirconia Crown Procedure Painful?

This is one of the most common questions we hear from international clients. The good news is: the zirconia crown procedure is not painful.

At Glamjet partner clinics, our dentists have extensive experience treating international patients, who often have lower pain tolerance compared to locals. To ensure comfort:

  1. Numbing cream is applied to desensitise the gum surface.
  2. A local anaesthesia injection is then given — most patients describe the sensation as far less painful than a tooth extraction.
  3. The entire process is very tolerable, even for sensitive clients.

For those with dental anxiety or very low tolerance, sleep dentistry (IV sedation) is also available at Queen Anne Dentistry in Hanoi with an anaesthesiologist for AUD $1,000  a fraction of the cost in Australia (AUD $2,500+). Most patients report that the procedure is comfortable, quick, and easier than expected.

Read about funding options for international clients seeking dental treatments in Vietnam here.

Is Vietnam cheap for dentistry?

Yes. Vietnam is known for high-quality dentistry at a fraction of Western prices. Veneers, crowns, and implants can cost 70–80% less than in Australia or the USA. However, quality varies by clinic. It’s crucial to choose registered dentists and specialists with proper accreditation. Language barriers and lack of transparency can make it difficult if you book on your own. That’s why many international patients prefer going through a medical facilitator like Glamjet. Glamjet Pty Ltd (ABN 79673707107) is an Australian company with staffs in Vietnam. Glamjet offers full concierge services which make the process fast, safe, and simple, while also helping you save even more time and money.

Is it safe to get your teeth done in Vietnam?

Yes, provided you go to vetted, accredited clinics with licensed dentists and modern facilities. At Glamjet, we only partner with trusted clinics in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, all of which have international-standard hygiene, advanced technology, and years of experience treating overseas patients. They all have 3D cone beam Xrays, latest technologies that even surpass many dental clinics in Australia, New Zealand, or the USA.

How painful is the zirconia crown procedure?

Most clients find the procedure comfortable and tolerable. Our dentists apply a numbing cream first, followed by a local anaesthesia injection. Pain is usually less than a tooth extraction. For sensitive patients or those with dental anxiety, sleep dentistry (IV sedation) is available per request at Queen Anne Dentistry in Hanoi for AUD $1,000 much cheaper than in Australia (AUD $2,500). Glamjet will book an anaesthesiologist for you. 

Can a root canal be done at the same time as a crown?

Yes. In many cases, a root canal and zirconia crown can be completed in the same treatment plan. However, if you have an abscess or gum infection, your dentist will first need to:

  • Drain the abscess
  • Place medication
  • Allow time for the gum to heal

This ensures the crown sits properly on healthy tissue and prevents gaps or complications. To know whether this applies to you, please fill in our consultation form and one of Glamjet’s partner dentists will review your case and prepare a personalised treatment plan.

How much is a root canal with a zirconia crown?

A root canal in Vietnam costs around AUD $300–$400/tooth. If your tooth is severely fractured and requires a post, this adds about AUD $100/tooth. After the root canal, a zirconia crown can be fitted to strengthen and restore the tooth.

How long do zirconia crowns last?

With proper care, zirconia crowns last 7–15 years or longer. Premium brands like Lava™ 3M often last 15 year or even longer. All Glamjet packages include warranties ranging from 7 to 15 years, depending on the brand.

How Much Do I Need to Budget for a Dental Holiday in Vietnam?
