International-standard dentistry.
At local prices.
At local prices.
This is one of the few things Phnom Penh gets genuinely right for expats. International-standard dentistry, equipment you would find in Europe, and prices that make your jaw drop — for all the right reasons.
This is one area where Phnom Penh punches well above its weight. The city has a handful of internationally accredited dental facilities that use the same equipment, materials and protocols you would find in Europe or Australia — at a fraction of the price. Many expats who balk at paying for healthcare here make special trips to Cambodia specifically for dental work.
Expect to pay $30–80 for a consultation and clean, $80–200 for a filling, and $600–1,500 for an implant. Compare that to what you would pay at home. And if you want to go even cheaper, there is a legitimate student clinic option — more on that below.
The most established and consistently recommended dental option in Phnom Penh — a ten-storey dedicated dental hospital with 36 chairs and 4 surgical theatres. Roomchang has been ISO 9001 certified since 2008 and operates a full in-house digital laboratory with CAD/CAM technology, 3D printers and digital scanners. This is a genuine hospital, not a clinic.
Specialities include implant reconstruction, aesthetic dentistry, digital dentistry, orthodontics, children's dentistry and oral surgery. Staff communicate in Khmer, English, Japanese, Chinese and Malay. Five branches across Phnom Penh mean you are rarely far from one.
roomchang.com →Cambodia's only internationally recognised dental school runs two teaching hospitals on Streets 180 and 184 — right in the same Daun Penh neighbourhood as Roomchang, surrounding the Institut Français campus. Clinical-year students (years 4 to 7) carry out the full range of dental treatments under close supervision from faculty who are themselves senior dentists from Roomchang, Pachem, Mastercare and Royal Phnom Penh Hospital.
Treatments available include fillings, root canal surgery, implants, extractions, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and endodontic procedures performed in a VIP room with a dental microscope. The hospital has 19 modern chairs and full digital X-ray, sterilisation facilities, and a dedicated dental lab.
The price is significantly lower than any private clinic — because your treatment is a supervised learning case for the student. This does not mean the quality is poor. It means it takes longer, requires additional sign-offs, and may take multiple appointments for complex procedures. For patients who are not in a hurry, it is an excellent option.

Full dental department within the city's leading international hospital. Useful if you need dental care alongside broader medical treatment, or want everything billed to your insurance in one place.
Most dental clinics in Phnom Penh do not publish prices. Walk in, ask for a consultation, get a quote. Prices are generally negotiable for larger treatment plans. Paying cash almost always gets you a better rate than billing insurance. For the absolute lowest prices on complex work, consider the UP Dental Hospital student clinic above.
Quality varies significantly between clinics. The top-tier places — Roomchang foremost — are genuinely excellent by any international standard. Smaller street-front clinics are a different matter. For anything beyond a basic clean, stick to a facility with documented credentials and international equipment. Your teeth are not the place to save $20.
Most international health insurance plans do not cover dental as standard — check your policy or take out a dental rider. For routine work, the prices here are low enough that many expats pay out of pocket regardless.
