Hoi An vs Turkey for Dental Tourism: A UK Patient's Comparison 2026

Turkey is a well-known dental destination for UK patients; Hoi An, in central Vietnam, is much further away. This guide does not give prices for Turkey, the UK or Hoi An, because SmileJet has no sourced figures to compare. It sets out what SmileJet can state about Hoi An and how to compare written quotes.

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.

The headline numbers

An Tam Smile does not publish a price list, and SmileJet has no sourced Turkey prices. For a UK patient, the fair comparison is a written quote from each clinic for the same plan, set against a written quote from your own dentist.

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.

What to weigh for Turkey

Turkey is much closer to the UK than Vietnam. If you consider a clinic there, check flights, ask for the treating dentist's name and licence, ask which crown material or implant system the quote names, and get a written plan, just as you would anywhere.

What to weigh for Hoi An

• SmileJet lists one clinic in Hoi An, An Tam Smile, with porcelain crowns (bọc răng sứ) and bridges, porcelain veneers (dán sứ veneer), dental implants (trồng răng implant) with bone grafting or sinus lift where needed, teeth whitening (tẩy trắng răng) and scaling (cạo vôi răng) on its page.
• SmileJet books the clinic in English on WhatsApp or Messenger, at no charge to you.
• Da Nang airport is the nearest airport; Hoi An is about 30 km south of central Da Nang.
• Most visitors to Vietnam use the e-visa. Rules change, so check the current rules for your passport before booking.

What about flight time?

Vietnam is a long-haul trip from the UK and Turkey is not. Check flights for both from your own airport. For a long trip, consider how many visits your treatment needs: crowns and veneers usually fit in one stay of about a week, while an implant needs two visits 3 to 6 months apart, which means two long-haul trips.

Which destination matches your trip?

Weigh how long you can be away, how many trips your treatment needs and how you want to spend recovery days. Then compare written quotes for the same plan.

What to check before booking

For either destination, check these before paying any deposit:

• The treating dentist's name and licence.
• The crown or veneer material, and the implant system, named in the quote.
• Whether a 3D scan is part of any surgical plan.
• How many visits the plan needs.
• What happens if something needs adjusting after you fly home.
