All-on-6 in Hoi An: a note on routing
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Hoi An's partner clinics focus on single implants, All-on-4, and cosmetic dentistry. All-on-6 full-arch reconstruction requires the specialist surgical teams and advanced imaging suites found at Da Nang partner clinics — 30 minutes north by road. Most patients stay in Hoi An and take a day-trip for surgical appointments. This page explains how that works.
Why Hoi An refers All-on-6 to Da Nang
This is not a reflection of Vietnamese dental care quality — it is deliberate specialisation. Hoi An's verified clinics are boutique practices that have built strong reputations in single implants, porcelain veneers, crowns, and cosmetic work. All-on-6 full-arch reconstruction is a different clinical undertaking: it requires a larger specialist surgical team, cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging suites, in-house prosthetics laboratories, and operating suites equipped for 4–6 hour sessions. Da Nang partner clinics have all of that.
Hoi An clinic profile
Boutique practices with 2–4 dentists. Optimised for veneers, single implants, whitening, and All-on-4. Strong on cosmetic precision and patient experience. Shorter surgical sessions.
All-on-6 requirements
A full surgical team (surgeon, assistant, anaesthetist access), in-house CBCT and digital planning software, a milling lab for provisional prosthetics, and post-op capacity for same-day temporaries.
Da Nang match
Da Nang partner clinics have in-house labs, dedicated implant surgeons, and CBCT suites. They handle full-arch cases daily. The 30-minute drive from Hoi An means patients get specialist care without changing their base.

What Hoi An clinics handle in-house
The referral to Da Nang is narrow — it applies to All-on-6 and complex full-mouth reconstruction only. For everything else, Hoi An's partner clinics are the right choice: they offer the precision and patient experience that has made the Ancient Town a respected dental tourism destination in its own right.
The twin-destination approach
Many patients on SmileJet-assisted trips naturally combine both cities. Da Nang and Hoi An are 30 minutes apart — the same trip covers both. Surgeries and consultations happen at Da Nang clinics; recovery, dining, and leisure happen in Hoi An Ancient Town. For multi-week All-on-6 trips with a post-surgery rest period, the pairing is particularly well suited: Hoi An has excellent soft-food options, walkable riverfront streets, and a calm pace that suits the recovery days after implant surgery.
Clinic days — Da Nang
CBCT scan, surgical planning, implant placement, and all clinical appointments at Da Nang partner clinics. Day-trip by Grab from your Hoi An accommodation. Most surgical appointments are morning starts; you return to Hoi An in the afternoon.
Recovery days — Hoi An
Post-surgery rest in the Ancient Town. Soft Vietnamese food — pho, congee, bun bo Hue, fresh rice paper rolls — is available everywhere. Quiet riverside streets, tailor shops, and cafes make rest days easy to fill without exertion.
Frequently asked questions — All-on-6 from Hoi An
Is All-on-6 available in Hoi An itself?
No. Hoi An partner clinics are boutique practices optimised for single implants, All-on-4, and cosmetic dentistry. All-on-6 full-arch reconstruction requires the specialist surgical teams, in-house CBCT suites, and milling labs found at Da Nang partner clinics. The 30-minute Grab commute means you access that level of facility without leaving your Hoi An accommodation base.
How many visits to the Da Nang clinic does All-on-6 require?
All-on-6 follows a two-trip protocol. Trip 1 involves 3–4 clinic days: CBCT and planning, implant placement, and provisional bridge fitting. You return 3–6 months later for Trip 2 (2–3 clinic days): final zirconia bridge delivery and any bite refinements. Between trips the provisional bridge is fully functional for eating and speaking.
What is the cost difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 from Hoi An?
A single-arch All-on-4 starts from A$10,404 at Da Nang partner clinics; All-on-6 single arch from A$11,781. The premium is approximately A$1,400 per arch — the additional two implants provide greater bone stimulation and load distribution, which is particularly valuable in the lower arch.
Can I recover from All-on-6 surgery in Hoi An?
Yes — this is the standard arrangement for Hoi An-based patients. After each surgical appointment, you Grab back to Hoi An Ancient Town. Soft Vietnamese food — pho, congee, bun bo Hue, silken tofu — is available everywhere. The flat, walkable riverfront streets are well-suited to the gentle activity recommended during implant osseointegration.
Why All-on-6 vs All-on-4 in Hoi An: the structural case
Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 produce a fixed full-arch bridge supported on implants. The difference is in the number of implant fixtures and the resulting load distribution. For most patients the decision is clinical rather than preferential, driven by CBCT bone density findings.
Load distribution
All-on-6 places 6 fixtures across the arch rather than 4. Each fixture bears less individual force. For patients with lower bone density or who are heavy bruxers, 6 implants distributes chewing forces more safely across the arch. All-on-4 uses angled posterior implants to compensate for fewer fixtures, which works well where bone at the front of the arch is adequate.
Posterior support
All-on-6 includes two additional posterior implants, providing better support at the back of the bridge where molar forces concentrate. This is particularly relevant for the lower arch, where bite forces are highest. For upper arch cases with good anterior bone volume, All-on-4 often provides equivalent clinical outcomes at lower cost.
When the CBCT decides
The primary determinant is bone volume at the four angled implant sites used in All-on-4. Where posterior bone has resorbed significantly, placing straight All-on-6 implants in better-quality anterior and premolar bone may be the more predictable option. This is assessed from the CBCT at the first Da Nang clinic appointment and explained before any surgical commitment is made.
All-on-6 pricing in Hoi An: what to budget
Home country comparison: All-on-6 in Australia typically costs A$45,000 to A$70,000 for both arches. The Hoi An (Da Nang clinic) rate of A$22,032 for both arches represents a saving of A$23,000 to A$48,000. Even after two return flights and accommodation for two trips, patients save comfortably over A$18,000 on dual-arch cases. Exchange rates: 1 USD = 1.53 AUD / 1.75 NZD / 0.79 GBP.
Recovery after All-on-6 in the Ancient Town
All-on-6 surgery is a 4 to 6 hour procedure. Recovery in Hoi An follows a predictable pattern. Swelling peaks around Day 2 post-surgery and resolves by Day 5 to 6 for most patients. The Ancient Town environment suits every stage of the recovery window.
