Hoi An Dental Implants
Dental implants for Hoi An patients — from US$880
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Hoi An patients receive implant treatment at SmileJet's verified Da Nang partner clinics — a 15–30 minute taxi transfer. Recovery happens in Hoi An's UNESCO Ancient Town. The most civilised recovery environment in Vietnam.
How the Hoi An setup works
Hoi An is a heritage town without significant dental clinic infrastructure. SmileJet Hoi An patients are treated at our verified Da Nang partner clinics — 15–30 minutes by Grab or taxi. Treatment appointments happen in Da Nang. Recovery happens in Hoi An.
This is the standard setup for Hoi An dental tourism. Patients typically stay in Hoi An accommodation throughout their trip, commuting to Da Nang for clinic appointments (usually 2–3 days out of a 7-day trip).
Implant pricing (Da Nang clinics)
| Treatment | USD | AUD | Sydney avg | Saving |

| All-on-4, both arches | US$12,800 | A$19,600 | A$54,000–68,000 | ~70% |
Pricing reflects Da Nang partner clinic rates. 1 USD = 1.53 AUD / 1.75 NZD. Final quote after clinical x-ray review.
The Hoi An implant trip structure
For All-on-4, a second trip (3–6 months later) is required for final ceramic bridge placement. Logistics are identical — fly into Da Nang, treatment in Da Nang, stay in Hoi An.
Implant brands at the Da Nang partner clinic
Osstem (South Korean)
From A$1,345 complete (implant, abutment, zirconia crown). South Korea's leading implant manufacturer with 20+ years of published clinical data. Widely distributed across Southeast Asia, which is relevant for any future maintenance if you travel again. Osstem's GS system is the standard choice at the Da Nang partner clinic for single implant cases. Moraschini et al. 2015 pooled 5-year implant survival: 94.6% across implant systems.
Best for: straightforward single implants, cost-conscious cases, good bone volume
Straumann (Swiss)
From A$1,650 complete (implant, abutment, zirconia crown). The global benchmark in implant research. Bone Level Tapered design gives superior gum-margin aesthetics — important for anterior (front tooth) implants. Straumann abutment systems are available at specialist implant dentists worldwide — relevant if you want future work done at home. The premium over Osstem is modest relative to the clinical benefits for anterior cases.
Best for: front teeth, thin gum tissue, patients wanting global serviceability
Am I a candidate for implants at Hoi An?
Ideal Hoi An implant candidate
Adults with at least 10 mm vertical bone height and 5 mm width at the implant site. No active periodontitis. Non-smokers or light smokers. 1–3 single implants in different quadrants are well-suited to a Hoi An-based trip — limited appointment frequency keeps the Grab commute manageable.
Cases better suited to Da Nang base
All-on-4, All-on-6, multiple simultaneous implants, or cases requiring significant bone grafting involve frequent clinic visits. For these, a Da Nang base is preferable. SmileJet will advise at quote stage which base city suits your specific treatment plan.
Bone grafting — two-trip scenarios
Where bone volume is insufficient for immediate implant placement, a ridge graft or sinus lift is performed first. The graft integrates over 3–6 months before the implant is placed. This means a two-trip protocol: Trip 1 (graft), Trip 2 (implant). Your quote will specify this if grafting is indicated from your X-rays.
Health conditions and implants
Well-controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c under 8%) is generally compatible with implant surgery. Anticoagulant medications require pre-procedure management — bring a current medication list. Osteoporosis on bisphosphonate medication requires specific assessment. The Da Nang partner clinic will review your full medical history at the initial consultation appointment.
Dental implant FAQ — Hoi An trips
How long does implant surgery take?
A single implant placement takes 45–90 minutes under local anaesthetic. If multiple implants are placed simultaneously, allow 2–3 hours. You are awake throughout and should feel pressure but no pain. IV sedation is available for patients who prefer it.
When can I fly home after implant surgery?
For simple single-implant placement, flying 48–72 hours post-surgery is generally safe. Avoid flying within 24 hours. For All-on-4 surgery or complex cases, a 4–5 day recovery buffer in Hoi An before departure is advisable. The Da Nang clinician will advise based on your specific case.
What is the treatment coordination support?
SmileJet's Da Nang partner clinic provides a treatment coordination support on all implant work. Any implant failure or clinical issue within 12 months is addressed at no charge.
Can I get the crown fitted at home?
Yes. If your trip is long enough for implant surgery but not for the full crown (which requires 3–6 months of osseointegration), a healing cap is placed in Hoi An and you have the crown fitted by your home dentist later. This works best with Straumann implants due to global abutment availability.

Bone grafting in Hoi An: what to expect
Bone grafting is required when the jawbone at the implant site lacks the volume or density to support an implant directly. This is more common in patients who have had a missing tooth for more than 12 months, or who have had previous gum disease. The Da Nang CBCT scan identifies whether grafting is needed before you travel.
Ridge graft (socket preservation)
Performed at the time of extraction or where a healed socket has lost volume. Bone substitute material is packed into the site. Integration time: 3 to 5 months. Cost: from A$536 per site. The graft appointment can be combined with the extraction on the same Da Nang clinic day.
Sinus lift (maxillary sinus augmentation)
Required where the upper back teeth have insufficient vertical bone height due to sinus proximity. Bone material is placed between the sinus membrane and jaw. Integration: 4 to 6 months before implant placement. Cost: from A$918 lateral approach. Adds one Hoi An trip cycle to the overall treatment plan.
Simultaneous graft and implant
Where bone loss is minor, an implant and a small graft can be placed simultaneously. This condenses the timeline to two trips rather than three. The Da Nang clinician assesses feasibility from the CBCT at the first appointment. Not suitable for all cases.
Recovery from bone grafting in Hoi An
Post-graft recovery is similar to implant surgery recovery. Soft food for 5 to 7 days. No vigorous exercise for 72 hours. Hoi An Ancient Town walks are appropriate from Day 2. Chao congee, pho broth, and fruit smoothies are widely available throughout the Ancient Town.
