Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift in Hoi An: For Patients With Insufficient Bone 2026

Some patients planning dental implants (trồng răng implant) find they do not have enough jawbone to hold one. A bone graft (ghép xương) or sinus lift (nâng xoang) can build up the bone first. Implants with bone grafting or sinus lift where needed are on the page of An Tam Smile.

SmileJet lists one dental clinic in Hoi An: An Tam Smile (Nha khoa thẩm mỹ An Tâm Smile), at 536 Hai Ba Trung. It is about 1.2 km north of the old-town centre, on the road towards Tan An and An Bang beach, not inside the old town. An Tam Smile is a featured partner on SmileJet, which is a commercial listing relationship and not a clinical endorsement.

What is bone grafting and why might you need it?

An implant needs enough bone around it to hold firm. Bone can shrink after a tooth is lost, especially over time, and gum disease can also reduce it. A bone graft adds material to rebuild the bone so an implant can be placed. Whether you need one depends on X-rays or a 3D scan, so only a dentist can tell you.

Types of bone graft material

• Your own bone (autograft): taken from elsewhere in your body, usually the mouth.
• Donor bone (allograft): processed human bone.
• Animal-derived bone (xenograft): processed bone, often bovine.
• Synthetic materials: man-made bone substitutes.

Which material An Tam Smile uses is not published. Ask which material your quote names.

Sinus lift: a graft for the upper back teeth

The sinus sits above the upper back teeth. After tooth loss, there may be too little bone below it for an implant. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus floor and places graft material underneath. It can be done through the implant site or through a small window in the side of the jaw, depending on how much bone is needed.

The visit timeline

An implant needs two visits 3 to 6 months apart, because the implant has to bond with the bone before the crown goes on. A graft can sometimes be placed at the same time as the implant; a larger graft may need its own healing time first. Ask the clinic how many visits your plan needs, and give SmileJet the length of your stay when you ask.

What grafting costs

An Tam Smile does not publish a price list, so this guide gives no Hoi An price. The only general guide SmileJet can give is about crowns:

As a guide to how much cheaper treatment in Vietnam is: a porcelain crown (bọc răng sứ) at SmileJet's partner clinics elsewhere in Vietnam costs 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 VND on their published price lists, about AUD 220 to 385. The Australian Dental Association's 2022 fee survey, as reported by Choice, put the average crown in Australia at AUD 1,678. A crown in Vietnam is therefore roughly a fifth of the Australian average.

That is a crown figure from other partner clinics, not An Tam Smile's price, and it does not apply to other treatment.

Compare it with a written quote from your own dentist for the same work.

Risks and what to ask before booking

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure and carries risks, such as infection, the graft not taking, or, for a sinus lift, a tear in the sinus lining. Smoking raises the risk. Ask the dentist:

• Do I need a graft, and why?
• Which graft material and implant system does the quote name?
• Is a 3D scan part of the plan?
• Can the graft and implant be done together, or in stages?
• What happens if the graft does not take?
• What is the treating dentist's name and licence?

Why 3D scan planning matters

A cone beam CT (CBCT) scan shows the jaw, sinuses and nerve in three dimensions, which helps plan a graft or implant. Equipment at An Tam Smile is not published, so ask whether a 3D scan is part of your plan.

Recovery in Hoi An

Follow your dentist's instructions. Common advice after grafting includes soft food, no smoking, and keeping away from the surgical site. After a sinus lift, patients are often told not to blow their nose and to sneeze with the mouth open for a time; ask your dentist when you can fly.

The clinics SmileJet lists

An Tam Smile, Hoi An

SmileJet has collected 552 Google reviews from the clinic's Google listing, with a 4.8 rating shown. They are Google reviews, not reviews of treatment booked through SmileJet; no patient has reviewed the clinic on SmileJet yet.

No dentist is named anywhere SmileJet can read, and the dentist count, equipment, crown materials and implant brands are not published. Ask the clinic for the treating dentist's name and licence, and ask which material or implant system your quote names. SmileJet has not seen its licence documents; ask the clinic for them if they matter to you.

SmileJet books An Tam Smile in English and handles the conversation on WhatsApp or Messenger, passing your questions, photos and X-rays to the clinic, at no charge to you. Whether any dentist or staff member speaks English is not published. Opening hours are not published either, so confirm a time with SmileJet. If you would prefer a female dentist, tell SmileJet when booking and we can ask the clinic to arrange one.

Picasso Dental Clinic, Da Nang

For a Da Nang comparison, Picasso Dental Clinic at 222 Phan Chu Trinh publishes its prices in Vietnamese dong. It is also a featured partner on SmileJet. Da Nang is about 30 km north of Hoi An. The one clear difference between the two: Picasso publishes prices and An Tam Smile does not.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have the graft and the implant in the same visit?

Sometimes, when the bone shortfall is small. Larger grafts may need healing time first; ask the dentist.

How will I know if I need a graft before flying?

Send a recent X-ray or scan to SmileJet and we pass it to the clinic. Only the dentist can judge from it.
