Why Australians choose Hoi An for dental implants
Hoi An offers something no other SmileJet city can replicate: implant treatment inside a UNESCO World Heritage setting. Osstem implants start from A$1,375 – a saving of A$3,125–5,125 per implant against the A$4,500–6,500 Australians pay at home. The city's 10-clinic network is small enough to feel personal but fully equipped for single and standard multi-implant cases.
Recovery between appointments is genuinely different here. Hoi An's Ancient Town is pedestrianised at night – lantern-lit streets, river cafes on the Thu Bon, cooking classes, and a pace that is deliberately unhurried. Most patients find the 2–3 days between placement and follow-up pass comfortably without the noise or stimulation of a large city. Da Nang (30 minutes north) adds beach access for days when patients want more activity.
UNESCO setting
The Ancient Town is a living heritage site – not a tourist construct. Walking the lantern-lit streets the evening after implant placement is a genuinely restorative experience.
Boutique 10-clinic network
10 SmileJet-listed clinics in Hoi An. Smaller than Da Nang or HCMC, but all verified for implant capability with Osstem and Straumann brand access.
45-day visa-free
Australians need no visa for Vietnam stays up to 45 days. A standard implant trip runs 7–10 days. No visa paperwork required.
Da Nang 30 min away
Complex cases – All-on-6, significant sinus lift, large bone augmentation – refer seamlessly to Da Nang (30 min). Simple cases stay in Hoi An.
Sydney–Hoi An routes via Da Nang International Airport (DAD) – SYD→SIN→DAD, approximately 13–14 hours total. Hoi An is a 30-minute car transfer from Da Nang Airport. Shared airport logistics mean Hoi An and Da Nang are genuinely interchangeable for flight purposes.

Hoi An's scope – what's within the 10-clinic network
Hoi An's 10 SmileJet-listed clinics are well-equipped for the implant cases that make up the majority of dental tourism enquiries. Understanding what sits within scope – and what refers to Da Nang – helps set the right expectations before booking.
Within Hoi An scope
Single implant (Osstem or Straumann). Multiple implants (2–4). All-on-4 per arch using Osstem. Standard bone grafting at the implant site. Implant-supported crowns and bridges.
Refer to Da Nang (30 min)
All-on-6 per arch. Large-volume sinus lifts. Significant bone augmentation across multiple sites. Cases where CBCT reveals bone density concerns requiring specialist surgical input.
Da Nang + Hoi An combined
A popular pattern: surgical placement in Da Nang (larger network, more scheduling flexibility), osseointegration recovery based in Hoi An (better pace, lower accommodation cost). The 30-minute transfer between cities is straightforward by Grab car or private transfer.
SmileJet's case assessment at quote stage considers your CBCT, bone density notes, and case complexity. If Da Nang is a better fit for your specific case, we will say so before you book – not after you arrive.
Ancient Town recovery – what to do between appointments
After implant placement, most protocols call for 2–3 rest days before the follow-up check. Hoi An is an unusually good fit for this period: the Ancient Town requires almost no effort to enjoy. Here is what recovery days typically look like:
Rest at hotel. Soft foods are everywhere in Hoi An – rice congee, pho, white rose dumplings, smoothies. Ice application if needed. Avoid the sun; a slow evening walk through the quiet back lanes of the Ancient Town is fine if you feel up to it.
Gentle activity only. The Ancient Town's covered shophouse lanes are easy walking – no steps, no exertion. Lantern shopping, a slow riverside cafe, and a boat trip on the Thu Bon are all light enough for day 1.
Cua Dai Beach is 5 km from the Ancient Town – a motorbike taxi or Grab ride. Light beach walking is appropriate for most patients. An Hoi pedestrian bridge at sunset is a 10-minute walk from most hotels. Day trips to Marble Mountains (20 min) or Da Nang beach (30 min) are possible for patients feeling well.
Return to clinic for post-operative check. Most patients are cleared for normal activity. Cooking classes at the Hoi An market are a popular day-4 activity – and notably gentle on healing gum tissue.
River cycling along the Thu Bon is a popular option for days 2–3 – flat terrain, low exertion, and the route passes through villages outside the Ancient Town. Most patients describe Hoi An's recovery days as the highlight of the trip.
