Hoi An Implants – UK Patients
Dental implants in Hoi An for UK patients
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Hoi An offers single dental implants from £640, combining care with UNESCO World Heritage recovery. For single to moderate implant cases, SmileJet-listed Hoi An clinics deliver excellent outcomes. For full-arch All-on-6 reconstruction, Da Nang – 40 minutes north – carries higher case volume and is recommended for complex protocols.
Why UK patients choose Hoi An for dental implants
Hoi An's single-implant prices start from £640 – marginally below Da Nang and 65–75% below UK private rates. For British patients treating one to three implants, that saving – £1,860–2,860 per Osstem implant against UK pricing – is substantial on a trip that doubles as one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding cultural destinations.
The Ancient Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: 400-year-old merchant houses, Japanese Covered Bridge, silk lanterns, and My An Beach a short taxi ride away. Recovery after implant placement – which requires soft foods for 7–10 days and avoidance of heavy exercise – fits naturally into a slow-paced Hoi An itinerary. The town's tailoring district, cooking schools, boat trips on the Thu Bon River, and evening lantern festival give British patients meaningful days between their clinical appointments.
For complex full-arch cases – All-on-6 across both arches, significant bone augmentation, or zygomatic implants – SmileJet recommends Da Nang, 40 minutes north. Da Nang carries higher case volume for multi-arch reconstruction and has more surgical depth for borderline bone cases. Hoi An excels at single-implant and moderate multi-implant treatment.
£640 from (Osstem/Dentium)
SmileJet-listed Hoi An entry price for a single implant including CBCT, post, abutment, and zirconia crown. Straumann and Nobel Biocare available from £775 at leading Hoi An clinics.
Ancient Town recovery
UNESCO-listed Hoi An Ancient Town is walkable, lantern-lit, and perfectly paced for post-surgical rest. Street food, river walks, My An Beach, and tailoring all accessible without physical strain during recovery.
Da Nang 40 minutes away
For complex full-arch cases, Da Nang's airport, larger clinic infrastructure, and All-on-6 case volume make it the right clinical choice. Hoi An is a natural base with Da Nang accessible as a day trip.
45-day UK visa-free
UK passport holders enter Vietnam visa-free for 45 days – no e-visa, no embassy appointment. Valid for Hoi An and all Vietnamese cities. Ensure passport has 6 months' validity beyond return date.

Complex full-arch cases – refer Da Nang
For All-on-6 across both arches, zygomatic implants, or cases requiring major sinus lift augmentation, SmileJet recommends Da Nang (40 min north). Da Nang carries higher All-on-6 case volume and surgical depth for complex multi-arch reconstruction. Hoi An clinics excel at single to moderate implant cases.

What implant cases suit Hoi An
Hoi An is the right clinical choice for the majority of British dental implant patients – those treating one, two, or three missing teeth. The town's SmileJet-listed clinics carry CBCT scanning, Osstem, Dentium, Straumann, and Nobel Biocare, with in-house prosthetics labs for zirconia crown fabrication.
| Case type | Hoi An | Da Nang recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant (1 tooth) | Yes – ideal | Optional |
| 2–3 implants | Yes – well suited | Optional |
| All-on-4 per arch | Available | Higher case volume |
| All-on-6 per arch | Limited availability | Recommended |
| Major sinus lift required | Refer Da Nang | Recommended |
| Zygomatic implants | Not available | Recommended |
| Bone augmentation (minor) | Available | Optional |
SmileJet recommendation: If you are treating one to three implants, Hoi An delivers excellent clinical outcomes at competitive prices with a genuinely outstanding recovery environment. If your case involves full-arch loading, significant bone deficiency, or zygomatic implants, SmileJet will route your quote to Da Nang. The 40-minute taxi means both cities are operationally linked.
Two-trip protocol in Hoi An
The two-trip implant protocol in Hoi An follows the same clinical structure as any leading implant centre. Osseointegration – the period during which the titanium post bonds to the jawbone – takes 3–6 months and cannot be accelerated. Both trips offer distinct advantages in Hoi An's unique setting.
CBCT cone-beam scan at the clinic. Full bone assessment, implant brand selection, and treatment plan issued. Consultation summary provided in English before surgery is confirmed.
Implant post placed under local anaesthetic. Temporary crown fitted. Soft-food diet and light activity for the following 7 days. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories prescribed.
Recovery in Hoi An. Ancient Town walking, Thu Bon River boat trips, Cam Nam Island, and the Cham Islands (accessible by speedboat) are all appropriate from Day 4. Clinic review before departure.
Osseointegration at home. A periapical X-ray with your UK dentist at 3 months confirms integration progress. Hanoi treating clinic contactable by email throughout.
Final zirconia crown fabricated from a digital impression taken at Trip 2 arrival. Crown seated, bite adjusted, occlusion confirmed. Most British patients combine Trip 2 with a dedicated Hoi An leisure return – the Ancient Town lantern festival runs year-round on full moon evenings.

Flying from the UK to Hoi An
Hoi An has no commercial airport. British patients fly to Da Nang International Airport (DAD), 30 km north, then take a 40-minute taxi or Grab directly to their Hoi An accommodation or clinic. No domestic connection is required.
The most direct routing for British patients. Singapore Airlines operates Heathrow to Changi daily, with onward service to Da Nang. A 2–3 hour Changi connection is typical. Economy and business class available from Heathrow.
Emirates routes Heathrow and Manchester to Dubai, with onward service to HCMC (SGN). A short domestic flight (VietJet or Vietnam Airlines, 1h) connects SGN to DAD. Useful for Manchester-based patients or those routing via Dubai.
Practical notes: UK passport holders receive 45-day bilateral visa-free entry to Vietnam – no e-visa required. Hoi An operates at GMT+7 (6 hours ahead of UK BST in summer). Da Nang Airport to Hoi An Ancient Town is approximately 40 minutes by Grab (app-based taxi) or metered taxi – book in the arrivals hall or via the app.
Aftercare for UK patients returning home
SmileJet-listed Hoi An clinics issue full discharge documentation in English – including implant system name, lot number, abutment type, crown material, and post-operative instructions. Provide this pack to your UK dentist at your first post-trip appointment.
Records to bring home from Hoi An
Before you leave the clinic, request: implant brand and system name; lot number and batch code (confirms brand authenticity); abutment specification; crown material; CBCT images on USB or digital link; and aftercare instructions in English. This pack allows any future dentist globally to identify and work with your implant.
Osseointegration at home
After Trip 1 placement, osseointegration takes 3–6 months. Avoid biting hard foods on the implant side for the first 6 weeks. Maintain normal oral hygiene including gentle flossing around the temporary crown. A periapical X-ray at 3 months with your UK dentist helps confirm integration before you book Trip 2.
If a complication arises in the UK
Contact your Hoi An treating clinic by email first – photographs and clinical notes allow them to assess remotely. For pain, swelling, or infection signs, see your UK GP or dentist promptly rather than waiting. UK dentists can manage emergency assessment of internationally placed implants. Have the implant brand, lot number, and placement date available when you call.
Returning to your NHS dentist
Once your zirconia crown is placed after Trip 2, your NHS or private UK dentist carries out routine annual checks using standard instruments. No specialist tools are required. Inform your dentist of the implant brand and system for their records. Zirconia crowns on implants are fully maintainable in any UK practice.
