TL;DR
Opinions in the expat community are skeptical: Vietnamese dentists get mediocre reviews, with people recommending China, home country, or a Russian-run clinic in Phuket instead.
One commenter rates Vietnamese dentists as mediocre compared to Philippine clinics, suggesting China or home country (Russia) instead; as a backup, a Russian-speaking clinic in Phuket, Thailand.
Another traveler notes that most of their acquaintances who previously got dental work in the Philippines switched to Vietnam, with only one going to China — so Vietnam is still a popular option among some expats.
A third commenter points out that flight costs differ, but still ranks China first, then home country, and Phuket's Russian clinic as a last resort; notes that dentists back home often complain about having to redo dental work done in Southeast Asia.
