Quick answer
Ask the clinic for copies of relevant imaging, the final treatment plan, treatment notes, implant manufacturer/model information, restorative details, an itemised invoice and written aftercare instructions. Keep digital copies somewhere you can access years later.
Imaging and diagnostic records
Request copies of relevant pre-treatment and post-treatment X-rays or scans where available. These can help document what was found and what was completed.
Final treatment plan and clinical notes
Ask for a written summary of the procedures performed, teeth or implant sites treated, dates and any important findings or recommendations for follow-up.
Implant manufacturer and component details
For implant treatment, request the implant brand, model or system, size or identification information where available, and details of the abutment or prosthetic components. Keep any implant passport/card the clinic provides.
For more detail on what to ask before treatment, see our Dental Implant Brands in Vietnam guide.
Crowns, bridges and prosthesis information
Ask what materials were used for crowns, bridges or full-arch teeth and whether the restoration is screw-retained or cemented where relevant. This can assist future maintenance.
Invoices, warranties and aftercare instructions
Keep an itemised invoice, written warranty/remediation terms and clear aftercare instructions. Record the clinic’s current contact details and the name of the treating dentist. Store copies in the cloud as well as on your phone or computer.
Australian information worth reading
Overseas dental treatment involves additional considerations. Before deciding, review independent Australian guidance and discuss your individual health and dental needs with an appropriately qualified dental professional.
