Global Patients’ Choice 2026 – Recognition from International Patients

The Global Patients’ Choice 2026 Award is presented by Dental Departures, a platform connecting international patients with dental care providers worldwide. It recognises dental partners that have demonstrated excellence in patient care and service.

The award is based on positive patient reviews and feedback received over the past year, reflecting patient satisfaction with service quality, professionalism and the overall dental care experience.

Receiving the Global Patients’ Choice 2026 Award is a meaningful milestone for Worldwide Dental Hospital, recognising the hospital’s continued efforts to improve its services and earn the trust of international patients.

Over 30 Years of Experience, Built on Quality and Trust

With more than 30 years of experience in dentistry, Worldwide Dental Hospital continues to invest in its clinical team, facilities and treatment technologies to meet the evolving oral healthcare needs of both local and international patients.

The hospital brings together experienced dentists and specialists across a range of disciplines, including dental implants, orthodontics, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, general dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. This multidisciplinary approach supports the development of treatment plans tailored to each patient’s clinical needs, with a focus on long-term oral health, function and aesthetics.

Alongside its clinical expertise, Worldwide incorporates modern technologies such as 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, iTero digital intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM dental restoration systems. These technologies support diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical procedures while helping to improve the overall patient experience.

At Worldwide, quality care goes beyond treatment outcomes. It is reflected in every stage of the patient journey, from the initial consultation and clinical assessment to treatment planning, aftercare and follow-up.

This combination of clinical expertise, modern technology and patient-centred care has helped Worldwide build lasting trust and become a dental care destination for patients from more than 50 countries.

Strengthening Worldwide’s Presence in International Dental Care

Vietnam has attracted growing interest as a destination for patients seeking dental treatment while travelling abroad. For international patients, choosing a dental provider involves more than comparing treatment costs. Clinical expertise, service quality and ongoing support throughout the treatment journey are equally important considerations.

Recognising these expectations, Worldwide Dental Hospital has continued to enhance its services for international patients, with a focus on making consultations, treatment scheduling and aftercare more convenient and accessible.

With a presence in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and California, USA, Worldwide continues to strengthen its international connections, helping patients access information, consultations and dental care services suited to their individual needs.

The Global Patients’ Choice 2026 Award not only recognises Worldwide’s commitment to patient care but also reinforces its reputation among international dental patients.

The recognition also provides further motivation for the hospital to strengthen its clinical capabilities, improve service standards and deliver an increasingly comprehensive dental care experience.

Valuing Patient Trust and Building on Lasting Commitments

Worldwide Dental Hospital extends its sincere appreciation to Dental Departures for the recognition through the Global Patients’ Choice 2026 Award. The hospital also thanks its local and international patients for their continued trust and support over the years.

This trust is both a source of pride and a motivation for Worldwide to continue advancing its clinical expertise, improving its services and providing better dental care experiences.

Building on more than three decades of experience, Worldwide Dental Hospital remains committed to professional, compassionate and patient-centred dental care, while contributing to the growing recognition of Vietnamese dentistry among international patients.

A Successful Implant Treatment Doesn’t End After Surgery

Many people believe their dental implant journey ends once the implant has integrated with the jawbone and the final crown is placed.

In reality, that’s only the beginning.

A well-placed implant can last for decades – or even a lifetime – with proper maintenance and ongoing care. During that time, you may relocate, travel overseas, change your dental provider, replace a crown, or require maintenance years after your original treatment.

When that happens, having complete and accurate implant records becomes invaluable.

That’s why Worldwide Hospital has developed the Worldwide implant Passport – a comprehensive physical and digital record that securely stores every critical detail of your implant treatment throughout its lifetime.

Built around our ConnectedCare™ ecosystem, the Worldwide implant Passport allows dentists to quickly access essential implant information, helping ensure continuity of care wherever you are in the world.

What Is the Worldwide Implant Passport?

The Worldwide Implant Passport is much more than a warranty booklet.

It serves as the permanent identity record for your entire implant restoration.

From the initial surgery through the final prosthesis and future maintenance, every important clinical and technical detail is documented in accordance with international standards.

After completing treatment, every patient receives:

• A premium printed implant Passport
• A digital implant record
• A secure QR code providing access to treatment information
• Cloud-based storage through the Worldwide ConnectedCare™ platform

What Information Does the Implant Passport Include?

Unlike a standard warranty card, the implant Passport contains a comprehensive technical record of your treatment.

Implant Information

Your record includes:

• Implant system used
• Manufacturer
• Implant diameter
• Implant length
• Implant connection type
• Platform size
• Batch number
• Lot number
• Implant position

This information allows any qualified dentist to accurately identify compatible restorative components if maintenance or replacement is required years later.

Surgical Information

The Passport also records key surgical details, including:

• Date of implant placement
• Treating surgeon
• Implant insertion torque
• Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ), when applicable
• Bone graft materials used, when applicable
• Membrane materials, when applicable
• Surgical approach (Guided Surgery or Freehand)

These records provide valuable clinical information for monitoring the long-term performance of your implant.

Prosthetic Information

Your restorative records include:

• Abutment type
• Crown or bridge design
• Restorative materials
• CAD/CAM design specifications
• Laboratory information

Having this information readily available allows future restorations to be completed efficiently without unnecessary guesswork or additional procedures.

Digital Treatment Records

The implant Passport also stores your complete digital treatment history, including:

• CBCT scans
• Intraoral 3D scans
• Digital Smile Design records
• 3D implant planning
• CAD/CAM laboratory files

These records remain securely stored for future reference whenever needed.

Why Is the Worldwide Implant Passport So Important?

Supporting Your Implant for Decades

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution.

Over the years, you may:

• Move to another city or country
• Receive dental care overseas
• Replace your crown
• Undergo routine maintenance
• Require restorative repairs years after treatment

Without accurate implant documentation, identifying the exact implant system and compatible components can become challenging.

The Worldwide implant Passport eliminates that uncertainty.

With a simple QR code scan, your treating dentist can quickly access important information such as:

• Implant system
• Compatible driver
• Screw type
• Abutment specifications
• Platform size
• Compatible restorative components

This significantly simplifies future care while reducing unnecessary treatment.

Protecting the Long-Term Value of Your Implant

In many cases, an implant remains perfectly healthy while the restoration requires maintenance or replacement.

The biggest challenge isn’t the implant itself – it’s identifying exactly which implant system was originally placed.

Without accurate records, clinicians may spend considerable time identifying components or, in some cases, need to remove existing restorations simply to determine compatibility.

The Worldwide implant Passport helps preserve your original implant investment by ensuring that every technical detail remains available whenever future treatment is required.

ConnectedCare™ – Seamless implant Care Across Borders

One of the unique advantages of Worldwide Dental Hospital is our commitment to continuity of care beyond a single clinic.

Through ConnectedCare™, treatment records can be shared across our international care network, including:

• Worldwide Hospital – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
• Worldwide Dental / IDC Clinic – Da Nang, Vietnam
• Worldwide Dental – Huntington Beach, California
• Glidewell Implant System Authorized Distributor (USA)
• ConnectedCare™ partner clinics

This allows patients to continue receiving professional support through:

• Follow-up examinations
• Online consultations
• CBCT and radiograph reviews
• Prosthetic evaluations
• Future treatment planning

without needing to repeat diagnostic procedures or rebuild their clinical history from scratch.

A Fully Digital Implant Workflow

The Worldwide implant Passport is one part of our fully integrated digital implant ecosystem.

Every stage of treatment is digitally connected, including:

• CBCT imaging
• Digital implant planning
• Guided implant Surgery
• Intraoral scanning
• CAD/CAM restoration design
• In-house dental laboratory
• Final prosthetic restoration
• Long-term maintenance and follow-up

This integrated workflow enables our clinical team to monitor each implant throughout its entire lifecycle while providing consistent, high-quality care.

What Will You Receive After Treatment?

Upon completion of your implant treatment, you will receive:

• Your Worldwide implant Passport
• Digital implant records
• Secure QR code access
• CBCT records
• 3D intraoral scans
• Prosthetic design files
• Warranty documentation
• Personalised maintenance schedule

All records are securely stored within the Worldwide Dental Hospital system, allowing easy access whenever future treatment is required.

More Than an Implant – A Lifetime of Connected Care

At Worldwide Dental Hospital, we believe that successful implant treatment extends far beyond surgery.

The Worldwide Implant Passport, together with our ConnectedCare™ network, creates a comprehensive ecosystem in which surgeons, prosthodontists, laboratory technicians, and patients remain connected through accurate, accessible treatment records.

Wherever life takes you – whether you’re in Vietnam, the United States, Australia, or elsewhere – your implant history travels with you.

Because true implant excellence isn’t defined only by the day it’s placed.

It’s measured by how confidently it can be cared for over the decades that follow.

Worldwide Hospital – Providing Perfection™

Today, we are proud to announce an exciting milestone in our international journey:

Worldwide Hospital Now Has a Presence in Huntington Beach, California

With the opening of our Huntington Beach location, Orange County patients now have access to a more connected, convenient, and confident pathway to high-quality dental care—both locally in Southern California and through Worldwide Hospital’s flagship facility in Vietnam.

This expansion represents more than a new location.

It creates a seamless bridge between local access in Orange County and advanced hospital-based dental treatment in Ho Chi Minh City, offering a unique model of international dental care designed around patient convenience, continuity, and peace of mind.

A Smarter Approach to Dental Tourism

Dental tourism has become an increasingly attractive option for patients seeking premium dental care at more affordable pricing.

Complex treatments such as:

• Full-mouth dental implants
• All-on-4 / All-on-X smile rehabilitation
• Advanced implant reconstruction
• Full smile makeovers
• Cosmetic dentistry transformations
• Oral surgery procedures requiring advanced planning

can often cost significantly less in Vietnam than in the United States—without compromising on technology, expertise, or clinical sophistication.

But for many patients, the biggest hesitation has never been cost.

It has been uncertainty.

Questions such as:

“How do I know if I’m a candidate before I book international travel?”

“What happens if I need support after returning home?”

“Can I speak with someone locally before making such a big decision?”

These are valid concerns—and precisely what this expansion is designed to solve.

Start Your Journey in Huntington Beach

One of the biggest barriers to international treatment has always been the unknown.

Worldwide Huntington Beach presence changes that.

Orange County patients can now begin their journey locally with access to:

• Comprehensive consultations
• Clinical evaluations
• Full diagnostic imaging
• Advanced CBCT 3D scanning
• Digital intraoral scanning
• Preliminary treatment discussions
• Implant and cosmetic treatment pathway reviews
• Second opinions for complex cases

Instead of planning international treatment from afar, patients can now begin the conversation close to home.

For those considering full-mouth rehabilitation or advanced implant procedures, this significantly improves confidence, clarity, and convenience.

Better Continuity After Treatment

One of the most common concerns about dental tourism is what happens after treatment.

Healing questions.

Minor adjustments.

Post-treatment evaluations.

Long-term maintenance.

Patients should never feel unsupported after undergoing major dental treatment abroad.

Worldwide’s Huntington Beach location helps create a more connected experience by offering a familiar local touchpoint for:

• Post-treatment evaluations
• Healing assessments
• Routine maintenance care
• Ongoing oral health support
• Communication coordination with Worldwide Hospital teams in Vietnam when appropriate

This continuity helps reduce stress and makes international care feel far more accessible.

Why Worldwide Hospital Is Different

Not all dental tourism providers are created equal.

Many are simply brokers or referral coordinators connecting patients to independent clinics overseas.

Worldwide Hospital is different.

Worldwide is a fully licensed hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, purpose-built for advanced dentistry and surgical care.

Our flagship facility offers:

• Advanced implant surgery capabilities
• Full-mouth rehabilitation expertise
• Hospital-based surgical infrastructure
• Sedation and anesthesia-supported procedures
• In-house digital laboratory workflows
• Comprehensive multidisciplinary care

For patients seeking complex treatment, this level of infrastructure matters.

It allows for greater efficiency, tighter quality control, and a higher level of procedural sophistication.

A Natural Advantage for Orange County’s Vietnamese-American Community

Orange County is home to one of the largest Vietnamese communities outside Vietnam.

For many families, Vietnam is not a distant or unfamiliar destination—it is home, heritage, or a frequent place of travel.

Worldwide’s Huntington Beach presence creates a uniquely meaningful bridge for this community.

Patients can now:

Consult locally in California

Travel to Vietnam with a clear plan

Receive treatment in a trusted hospital environment

Return home with better continuity and support

This makes dental tourism not only more affordable but far more practical.

Global Expertise. Local Access.

Worldwide’s expansion into Huntington Beach reflects our long-term vision of making advanced healthcare more accessible across borders.

By connecting Orange County and Ho Chi Minh City, we are creating a smarter, more patient-centered model of international dental care—one that combines the reassurance of local access with the advantages of world-class treatment abroad.

For patients seeking transformative dental care, the future is no longer limited by geography.

It is connected.

Beautiful and talented with the ability to speak 4 languages (English, French, Dutch and Vietnamese), Huynh Ly Dong Phuong has just been assigned to become the first female captain of Vietnam Airline jet team at age 27.

1.71m tall with extremely beautiful face, Huynh Ly Dong Phuong does not like to be called “beauty”. “I prefer to be judged through my work or personality and not how I look”, the captain said.Not having a lot of time for herself due to frequent flight schedule, Huynh Ly Dong Phuong still enjoys reading books, listening to music, singing or recording her favorite songs in her free time. “Normally in work I only have light makeups, I do pay attention to taking care of my skin because my job requires frequent contact with the sunlight. I also care about my dental health. Having healthy and beautiful teeth is one of my main concerns, because it does not only support my work due to high pressure during flights but also gives me more confidence in socializing with other people.

Other than work time, while going out or to parties, Dong Phuong completely transforms to become more beautiful”

Huynh Ly Dong Phuong – BRAND AMBASSADOR OF DR HUNG & ASSOCIATES DENTAL CENTER

The female captain said, DR HUNG & ASSOCIATES DENTAL CENTER is her first choice for her and her family in dental health care, and she is very satisfied with the treatment here. All services at DR HUNG & ASSOCIATES DENTAL CENTER are worth the “5-Star Dental Treatment” ratings that all clients have voted: from the modern technology and equipment with perfect treatment quality, reasonable cost and staff’s dedication in work to highly experienced dental experts. All has taken away the ‘dental phobia’ that Dong Phuong had since she was a child and brought her that beautiful, confident smile.

Congratulations to Winners of the Greeting Season Raffle Results. Thank you for choosing Dr Hung & Associates Dental Center. We wish you all a very merry holiday season with families and friends.

On 1/11/2017, Mr Alan Williams from Australia joined the management team of Worldwide Plastic Surgery and Dental Hospital as a Chief Executive Director (CEO).

He has been in management for more than 35 years and success in a variety of areas such as health-financing, customer service in Australia. He accepted a temporary halt to work for nine years to care for his wife. Dr. Hung had known Mr. Williams and realized his ability to work, admiring his moral qualities many years ago. Therefore, Dr. Hung invited Mr. Williams to work at WORLDWIDE Hospital right after he began looking for employment again., as taking charge of business strategy and international customer market in Vietnam, financial advisors, and customer care management.

By now he was in his 60’s, Mr. Williams is still full of passion for work. He accepted Dr. Hung’s invitation after visiting and surveying all activities at Worldwide Hospital.

He saw the high level of professionalism, wholehearted committed to the patients of the doctors and staff at Worldwide Hospital, the consistent investment in latest equipment. The most modern technique of dentistry and plastic surgery here. Together with Dr Hungs’ vision they wants to dedicate their talents to build and develop the brand name of WORLDWIDE HOSPITAL – The Five-Star Hospital in Vietnam to become the top brand in cosmetic surgery and dentistry.

He desired to bring many Australians as well as many customers from all over the world who need dental or cosmetic treatment to experience the best quality treatment, the best services and the result of excellent treatment as the high-level hospitals in developed countries with a much lower cost.

The values he wants to bring to WORLDWIDE Hospital and his clients include
Management style and leadership: The attitude of “respect for all people”, improving the efficiency of individual work in a “teamwork” to develop together and achieve the highest efficiency for the collective.
Comprehensive and comprehensive job-training strategy with flexible and responsive communication skills to handle all of the temporary issues or goals to deliver the perfect treatment to clients like the mission that Dr. Hung & Associates Dental Center have been following.
Objectively evaluating and assigning the appropriate staff based on the ability of each person to achieve the highest results and the most active work for each person.
With the specifically financial orientation, a complete market analysis and business acumen bring the company a stable and strong development.
Always keep the integrity and dedication to the clients especially the customers come from abroad to have a great experience here.

In case you missed it, Dr. Hung & Associates Dental Center has been upgraded to Worldwide Beauty & Dental Hospital in 2018 (view our hospital’s website here: https://www.worldwidebeautyhospital.com/).

Every year, at the end of each year, Department of Health of Vietnam conducts an audit of all hospitals to ensure these hospitals meet the 83 hospital standards issued by the Department (these standards are similar to the standards issued by the Joint Commission International Accreditation). In Ho Chi Minh city, which is where our hospital is located, there is a total of 102 hospitals. Worldwide Beauty & Dental Hospital is proud to announce that we’ve achieved good rating from Vietnam Department of Health and are in the top 5 Cosmetic Hospitals in our first year of operation as a hospital, which has never been accomplished before.

As some of you may know, JCI standards, and similarly Department of Health hospital standards, are created for general hospitals. Therefore, some of these standards are not as applicable nor necessary to cosmetic hospitals, which are specialized hospitals, such as recovery care, nutrition care and medication for patients. For cosmetic hospitals, while we still provide our patients with recovery room, meals and medication, we simply just don’t have patients that need extensive recovery care, specific nutrition and special medication. Knowing this, we focus a significant amount of our effort on what’s important for our customers, which are development of doctors and staff, patient care, quality, infrastructure and equipment. On these areas, we’ve achieved excellent to perfect score.

We are very pleased with the results. We want to share this happy news with all of our customers. This is a great milestone in our first year of operation as hospital and we will continue to improve to become the best and to ensure our customers always receive the perfect care.

The CEO position has now been filled by Amy Tran since October 2018.

Amy Tran was originally born and raised in Vietnam. At the age of 16, she moved to the US to gain an American education and work for some of the best companies in the world. She graduated in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. Upon graduating, she was hired as an auditor at Deloitte & Touche, which is the largest professional services firm in the world. She worked at Deloitte for 10 years, being promoted rapidly, leaving as a senior manager on her way to becoming a partner/managing director. She put her career on hold however, at the request of her parents, moving back home to help manage the hospital in October 2018.

Amy is the perfect candidate for the job. Her bilingual background, and familiarity with both Vietnamese and American culture allows her to connect well with both Vietnamese and international clients. She has personally experienced the high quality of American healthcare standards for years and vows to have Worldwide Dental & Plastic Surgery Hospital follow the same standards of being well-organized, safe, effective, caring, and most importantly, always putting the customer first.

Although managing a hospital is a new field, Amy’s experiences as an auditor in Silicon Valley gave her many insights on how to run a business. At Deloitte, Amy served all types of companies from start-ups to big public companies. She was involved in multiple initial public offerings and has seen companies grow from less than 50 employees to thousands. She identified key attributes of those companies which drove them towards success: strong management & company mission, efficient yet thorough processes, respect and accountability between all levels of the business. Amy plans to bring these ideals to Worldwide Dental & Plastic Surgery Hospital while maintaining the same level of dedication to quality, care, and customer attention the hospital is already known for. She will ensure that the hospital employs the best and most compassionate doctors and employees, invest in the latest technology and equipment, everyone continues to improve themselves and the customers always receive the best quality care.

Amy is excited to grow Worldwide Dental & Beauty Hospital into a global brand while still maintaining high quality care and the friendly culture of Vietnamese people. Amy’s motto is “American Standards – American Quality – Vietnamese Price.”
