Dental Bridges in Hoi An: Cost, Materials & What to Ask 2026
Dental bridges (cầu răng sứ) in Hoi An at An Tam Smile: what a bridge is, when it suits better than an implant, materials, aftercare, and how to get a written quote.
A dental bridge (cầu răng sứ) replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns on the teeth either side. Porcelain crowns and bridges 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 a dental bridge?
A bridge is fixed in place, not removable. The false tooth (the pontic) is joined to crowns (bọc răng sứ) on the neighbouring teeth (the abutments). Once cemented, it is cleaned in place rather than taken out. A bridge can also be supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth.
When you might choose a bridge over an implant
A bridge needs no surgery and usually fits within one stay, like crowns, which usually fit in one stay of about a week. But the neighbouring teeth have to be shaped for crowns. An implant (trồng răng implant) leaves the neighbouring teeth alone, but needs two visits 3 to 6 months apart, because the implant has to bond with the bone before the crown goes on. Ask the dentist to explain both options for your gap.
Bridge materials
- Porcelain fused to metal: a metal base with porcelain on top.
- Zirconia: a strong ceramic, often used for back teeth.
- Lithium disilicate (often sold as E.max): a translucent ceramic, usually for short front bridges.
Which materials An Tam Smile uses is not published. Ask which material your quote names.
What a bridge costs
A bridge is priced by the unit: each crown and each false tooth counts as one.
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.
For An Tam Smile's price for your own case, message SmileJet on WhatsApp or Messenger and we will ask the clinic for a written quote in Vietnamese dong. Prices are indicative; only a written quote for your own case applies to you.
How bridge treatment generally works
This is a general outline, not a description of An Tam Smile's process.
- Examination and X-rays of the gap, the neighbouring teeth and your bite.
- The neighbouring teeth are shaped, a scan or impression is taken and a temporary bridge fitted.
- The final bridge is checked for fit, bite and colour, then cemented.
Give SmileJet the length of your stay when you ask.
Recovery and aftercare
A bridge needs no surgical recovery. Some sensitivity at first is common. Clean under the false tooth every day with floss threaders or small interdental brushes, because food and bacteria collect there. Keep up check-ups with your own dentist.
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.
