Nha Khoa I-DENT

1. Overview and Clinical Capability at I-DENT Binh Thanh

Located at 19U-19V Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh, Thạnh Mỹ Tây Ward (formerly Ward 19, Binh Thanh District), Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Khoa I-DENT is the first facility and core headquarters of the I-DENT Dental System. The clinic holds Medical Examination and Treatment Operating License No. 00047/HCM-GPHD issued by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health and operates a quality-management process certified to the international ISO 9001:2015 standard by the United Kingdom.

With a specialized focus on complex tooth-loss rehabilitation and digital dentistry, the clinic receives and effectively treats many cases of single-tooth loss, multiple interspersed missing teeth, or full-arch edentulism in older adults and overseas Vietnamese returning for treatment, as well as younger patients with crowded, protruding, or recessed teeth, malocclusion, chipped teeth, or discoloration. The clinic emphasizes pain control, maximally minimally invasive care, and strict infection-control protocols to give patients peace of mind throughout treatment.

To make it easier to schedule a visit with the appropriate specialist and receive a priority queue number, patients should book an appointment before arriving.

2. Specialist Doctors Who Examine and Treat Patients Directly

The core strength of I-DENT Binh Thanh is the direct involvement of highly specialized dentists who hold valid practice certificates and have completed advanced training in developed medical systems such as France, the United States, and Switzerland:

• TS.BS.CKII Nguyễn Hiếu Tùng (System Medical Director): Earned a Doctorate in Medicine in Human Pathology at Aix-Marseille University (France) and completed postgraduate programs in dental implantology, fixed prosthodontics, and clinical periodontology in France. With 20 years of experience and more than 10,000 successful implant cases, Dr. Tung personally consults on and leads complex surgeries such as full-arch All-on-4/All-on-6 implant rehabilitation and severe jawbone resorption cases requiring sinus lift or autogenous/synthetic bone grafting.
• BS.CKI Nguyễn Quang Linh (Head of Implant and Ceramic Restorations, Binh Thanh facility): Completed Level I Specialty training in Odonto-Stomatology at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, holds an implant surgery certificate from the Straumann Institute (Switzerland), and an advanced certificate in dental implant surgery and alveolar bone grafting from the Miller School of Medicine – University of Miami (United States). With more than 10 years of clinical experience, he is known for meticulous examinations, gentle technique, and skilled management of aesthetic ceramic restorations on implants.
• BS.CKI Hồ Thị Thanh Thủy (Head of Orthodontics – Braces): Level I Specialist in Odonto-Stomatology, a Platinum Invisalign Provider with Align Technology (United States) and a member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Dr. Thuy specializes in correcting complex malocclusions with both self-ligating bracket systems and clear Invisalign aligners, applying a philosophy of maximum preservation of natural teeth.
• BS.CKI Trần Đoàn Lê Nhân (Implant and Prosthodontics Specialist): Level I Specialist who graduated from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, with advanced implant training at the Straumann Institute (Switzerland) and the University of Miami (United States). He closely monitors each patient’s healing progress.

Every treatment case is given a clear, personalized plan by a specialist. Booking in advance helps patients choose a consultation slot with the doctor they prefer.

3. Digital Infrastructure and Integrated Diagnostic Equipment

The clinic applies a closed-loop digital dentistry workflow from paraclinical assessment through prosthetic fabrication, supporting smoother, more precise treatment and shorter recovery times:

• Cone Beam CT 3D system (KaVo OP 3D Pro - Germany): Maps the three-dimensional anatomy of the jawbone and accurately locates the inferior alveolar nerve pathway and the floor of the maxillary sinus in just 1 minute, while reducing radiation exposure.
• Intraoral scanners iTero Lumina & 3Shape TRIOS: Multi-point optical sensors capture thousands of images per second, replacing traditional rubber impressions, reducing gag reflex, and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate a future smile at the first visit.
• PIC photogrammetry (Precise Implant Capture): Records the coordinates and distances between implant fixtures to micrometric accuracy, ensuring screw-retained implant bridges fit precisely and chewing forces are distributed evenly.
• Piezosurgery ultrasonic bone surgery unit: Uses a micrometric ultrasonic scalpel that acts selectively on hard bone without injuring soft tissue, blood vessels, or nerves, reducing bleeding and postoperative swelling.
• On-site digital CAD/CAM laboratory: Equipped with a 5-axis automatic CNC milling machine CORiTEC 250i (Imes-Icore - Germany) and a Rayshape 3D printer to fabricate ceramic restorations and Implant Guide surgical stents on site, so patients can receive temporary teeth for chewing quickly without waiting for off-site lab work.
• European-standard one-way sterilization system: Equipped with a Class B Autoclave sterilizer and separate instrument packaging and storage; each patient uses a dedicated handpiece and examination instrument set to prevent cross-infection.

4. Core Treatment Services and Clinical Indications

Based on actual patient needs and specialized clinical capability, I-DENT Binh Thanh focuses on four main solution groups:

• Single-tooth and full-arch implant placement (All-on-4 / All-on-6): For patients who have lost one or more teeth due to aging, periodontal disease, or trauma. Officially imported biologic implant fixtures from Switzerland (Straumann), the United States/Sweden (Nobel Biocare), Germany (MIS), and South Korea (Dentium/DiO) help prevent jawbone resorption and restore stable chewing function.
• High-tech orthodontics – braces: Corrects crowded, protruding, recessed, or spaced teeth, as well as deep bite or open bite. Patients may choose metal brackets, self-ligating ceramic brackets, or highly aesthetic clear Invisalign aligners combined with the My Invisalign monitoring app.
• Aesthetic ceramic restorations & porcelain veneers: A solution for large chips, antibiotic staining, or enamel wear. Digital Smile Design (DSD) and genuine ceramic blanks (Cercon HT, DDBio, Lava Plus, E.max, ZirCAD Prime) are used to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and avoid darkening at the gum line.
• General dentistry and disease treatment: Impacted/angulated wisdom-tooth extraction using ultrasound that does not invade soft tissue, root-canal treatment with modern rotary endodontic files, ultrasonic scaling, and treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis.

Patients with oral problems should book an examination early for paraclinical assessment and advice on options that preserve natural teeth.
