Flights and logistics

Getting to Vietnam for dental treatment.

The airport for each city where SmileJet lists a dental clinic, and what the clinics say about the trip from the airport.

HCMC to Phu Quoc: about a 1-hour flight Hoi An: about 30 km south of Da Nang
In short

Fly into the airport nearest your clinic: Tan Son Nhat (SGN) for Ho Chi Minh City, Noi Bai for Hanoi, Da Nang International for Da Nang and Hoi An, and Phu Quoc International (PQC) for Phu Quoc. Most visitors use Vietnam's e-visa; arrivals directly in Phu Quoc can stay up to 30 days without one. Rules change, so check them before you book, and get the clinic's plan before you buy flights.

Every clinic SmileJet lists in Vietnam is a featured partner, a commercial listing relationship and not a clinical endorsement.

SGN

Booking strategy

Booking tips for dental patients.

Get the plan first

Send SmileJet your X-rays or photos. Book flights once the clinic has given you its plan and the number of visits.

Single implants take two trips

Picasso describes two visits 3 to 6 months apart: 3 to 5 days, then 2 to 3 days. The implant has to bond with the bone before the crown goes on.

Full-arch cases

Picasso describes All-on-4 as 5 to 7 days, then 3 to 5 days about six months later for the final bridge. In SmileJet's quotes, Worldwide's full-arch cases were two visits about six months apart.

Staying in Hoi An

If you stay in Hoi An and are treated in Hoi An or Da Nang, tell SmileJet your dates so the visits can be booked around them.
