Dental implants in Da Nang for New Zealanders
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Osstem implants from NZ$1,484 – saving NZ$3,516–6,016 per implant compared with New Zealand home pricing. Da Nang adds My Khe Beach for recovery, a walkable clinic district, and an AKL→SIN→DAD routing that puts you there in under 17 hours from Auckland.
Why New Zealanders choose Da Nang for implants
New Zealand dental implant costs are among the highest in the Asia-Pacific region – NZ$5,000–7,500 per implant at most metropolitan practices. Da Nang Osstem implants start from NZ$1,484, a saving of NZ$3,516–6,016 per implant. A four-implant case saves NZ$14,000–24,000 before travel costs.
For New Zealanders, Da Nang offers the same price advantages as HCMC with an additional drawcard: My Khe Beach. The 2–3 days between placement and follow-up are recovery days – and recovery on a Vietnamese coastal beach is considerably more restorative than a megacity hotel room.
Save NZ$3,516–6,016
Per Osstem implant versus NZ home pricing. An All-on-4 case (from NZ$11,365) saves NZ$23,635–40,635 against the NZ$35,000–52,000 home cost.
Beach recovery at My Khe
My Khe is walkable from most Da Nang clinic precincts and An Thuong accommodation. Light beach walking is appropriate from day 2 after placement.
23 SmileJet-listed clinics
All Da Nang clinics on SmileJet have passed the 47-point audit. Multiple clinics hold Osstem and Straumann brand accreditations with in-house CBCT.
Smaller city than HCMC
Da Nang's 1.3 million population means less congestion and a more manageable recovery environment. Clinic, hotel, pharmacy, and beach are within a compact 3km radius.

Auckland and Wellington routing to Da Nang
Da Nang Airport (DAD) is served from New Zealand via Singapore (SIN). Auckland has the most direct routing – AKL→SIN→DAD with Singapore Airlines or Vietnam Airlines, approximately 16–17 hours total including a 2–4 hour Changi connection. Wellington and Christchurch connect via Auckland.
Visa note: New Zealand passport holders enjoy a 45-day bilateral visa-free arrangement with Vietnam. No e-visa required for stays up to 45 days. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity beyond your return date.
My Khe beach recovery between appointments
The 2–3 days between implant placement and your follow-up appointment are the days most patients describe as the best part of the trip. My Khe is one of Vietnam's finest urban beaches – 30km of white sand, calm surf, beach clubs, and a long flat promenade well suited to gentle post-surgery walking.
Rest at hotel. Soft foods only – congee, soup, and smoothies are widely available from An Thuong cafes. Ice application if needed.
Gentle activity. A slow walk on the My Khe promenade is fine if you feel comfortable. Avoid direct sun on the face and stay hydrated.
Light beach walking on My Khe is appropriate for most patients. Soft sand, shallow water. Beach clubs, seafood restaurants, and the Hoi An day trip option (45 min south) are all accessible.
Swimming after clinic clearance – typically day 5 for uncomplicated cases. Beach clubs along the My Khe strip are well established.
An Thuong – Da Nang's beachside expat strip in the Ngu Hanh Son district – is the recommended base. Hotels range from NZ$70–160/night for mid-range beachfront properties, with clinics 10–15 minutes away by taxi or ride-share.
Frequently asked questions
How much do dental implants cost in Da Nang for New Zealanders?
Osstem implants start from NZ$1,484 per implant (implant post + ceramic crown), Straumann from NZ$2,186, and All-on-4 per arch from NZ$11,365. New Zealand home prices are NZ$5,000–7,500 per implant – a saving of NZ$3,516–6,016 per Osstem implant.
How do New Zealanders fly to Da Nang?
Auckland (AKL) routes to Da Nang (DAD) via Singapore on Singapore Airlines or Vietnam Airlines – approximately 16–17 hours total including the Changi connection. Wellington and Christchurch connect via Auckland. Return fares range NZ$1,000–1,500.
Do I need two trips for implants in Da Nang?
Yes for most cases. Trip 1 is 7–10 days covering CBCT scan, implant placement, and a temporary crown. Trip 2 is 5–6 days, 3–6 months later, for final ceramic crown fitting and adjustment. This is standard protocol at all SmileJet-listed Da Nang clinics.
Why choose Da Nang over Ho Chi Minh City for implants?
Da Nang offers beach recovery at My Khe Beach, a smaller and less intense city environment, and implant prices 3–5% below HCMC. HCMC has a larger clinic count (38 vs 23 in Da Nang) and is better suited for complex full-arch cases requiring significant bone grafting or multiple simultaneous procedures.

New Zealand-specific tips for Da Nang dental implants
Flight routing from New Zealand
Auckland (AKL) to Da Nang (DAD) via Singapore (Singapore Airlines, Air NZ to SIN + SQ to DAD – approximately 13-15 hours total). Wellington and Christchurch passengers connect via Auckland. Total return flights from Auckland typically cost NZD 1,300-2,100 in Economy. Business class adds NZD 2,500-4,500 for the Singapore leg, which some patients prefer for post-surgery comfort on the return flight.
New Zealand ACC and overseas dental treatment
ACC does not cover elective dental treatment obtained overseas. ACC covers dental injuries from accidents occurring in New Zealand after your return. Travel insurance (separate from ACC) covers complications and emergencies during the Da Nang trip itself – ensure your travel insurance includes dental emergency and medical evacuation cover. SmileJet provides documentation to support NZ travel insurance claims on request.
Da Nang vs Bali for New Zealand implant patients
Bali (Denpasar, DPS) is slightly closer for most NZ routing and is a familiar holiday destination. However, Da Nang has a higher concentration of implant-specialist listed clinics, and the My Khe Beach + Hoi An recovery environment is specifically suited to longer treatment trips. For straightforward whitening or veneer cases, Bali is a comparable alternative. For complex implant or All-on-4 cases, Da Nang's clinic network has superior depth.
Returning to New Zealand after surgery
Most New Zealand implant patients fly home at Day 7-9 post-surgery (after fit-to-fly clearance). Auckland customs and biosecurity are standard for returning NZ residents – declare any medication (pain relief prescribed in Da Nang) at the customs form. No restrictions apply to returning after dental treatment. Home dentist follow-up is recommended 4-6 weeks post-return.
