Why New Zealanders choose Hoi An for dental implants
New Zealanders pay NZ$5,000–7,500 per implant at home. In Hoi An, Osstem implants start from NZ$1,572 – a saving of NZ$3,428–5,928 per implant. A three-implant case saves more than NZ$10,000 before accounting for flights. Straumann implants, which carry lifetime implant warranties, start from NZ$2,449 against NZ$6,500–9,000 at home.
Hoi An's appeal for New Zealand patients extends well beyond price. The Ancient Town setting is unlike any other dental tourism destination: UNESCO-listed, pedestrianised at night, genuinely slow-paced. New Zealand patients who have described wanting a "meaningful trip rather than just treatment" consistently rate Hoi An above Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City for overall experience.
NZ$1,572 from Osstem
Osstem implants carry a 10-year implant warranty. Straumann (lifetime warranty) from NZ$2,449. Both available within Hoi An's 10-clinic network.
UNESCO Ancient Town recovery
The 2–3 rest days between placement and follow-up are spent in one of Asia's most celebrated heritage cities. Lantern-lit lanes, river cafes, and cooking classes replace idle hotel time.
Da Nang 30 min for complex cases
All-on-6, large-volume sinus lifts, and complex bone augmentation refer to Da Nang (30 min north). SmileJet assesses case scope at quote stage – no surprises on arrival.
45-day visa-free for NZ
New Zealand passport holders have 45-day bilateral visa-free entry to Vietnam. A standard implant trip (two visits) runs 7–10 days per visit, well within the allowance.
Hoi An and Da Nang share a single international airport (DAD) – the Hoi An car transfer from Da Nang Airport takes 30 minutes by Grab. New Zealand patients fly AKL→SIN→DAD, approximately 16 hours total including connection at Changi.

Auckland to Hoi An – flight routing
All New Zealand cities route to Da Nang International Airport (DAD) via Singapore (SIN). There are no direct flights from New Zealand to Da Nang. From Da Nang Airport, Hoi An is a 30-minute car transfer.
Practical Hoi An logistics from Da Nang Airport
New Zealand patients flying for a two-visit implant protocol – placement and crown fitting – should plan approximately NZ$2,000–3,000 for total flights across both visits, comfortably within the savings on even a single Osstem implant case.

Is Hoi An suitable for NZ patients doing implants?
Yes, for single and standard multi-implant cases. Hoi An's 10-clinic network handles these cases well. All-on-6 is referred to Da Nang (30 minutes by car). Hoi An's Ancient Town setting is particularly popular with New Zealand patients who want a meaningful cultural experience alongside their treatment.
How do New Zealanders fly to Hoi An?
Auckland (AKL) routes to Da Nang International Airport (DAD) via Singapore – approximately 16 hours total. Wellington and Christchurch connect via Auckland. Car from Da Nang airport to Hoi An takes 30 minutes. Return fares are typically NZ$1,000–1,500. New Zealanders hold a 45-day bilateral visa-free arrangement with Vietnam.
Can I split treatment between Da Nang and Hoi An?
Yes. A common pattern is surgical implant placement in Da Nang (larger network, more scheduling options), then recovery and follow-up based in Hoi An (30 minutes south). The two cities share Da Nang International Airport and are connected by a straightforward 30-minute Grab car transfer.
Practical tips for New Zealand implant patients
Visa and entry
New Zealand passport holders have a 45-day bilateral visa-free arrangement with Vietnam. No application is required – enter on your NZ passport at Da Nang International Airport. For stays over 45 days (rare for dental trips), apply for an e-visa (US$25) before travel.
Two-visit planning
The All-on-4 and single-implant protocols both require two visits 3–6 months apart. Plan your second visit flight early – NZ-Vietnam fares are higher in school holiday windows. Many NZ patients combine the second visit with broader Vietnam or Southeast Asia travel to maximise the trip value.
Sending pre-trip X-rays
SmileJet accepts OPG panoramic X-rays (typically A4-format digital files) and recent dental X-rays from your NZ dentist as a starting point. Sending these before booking allows the Da Nang clinician to assess bone volume and identify grafting requirements before you commit to flights.
Southern Hemisphere seasonal timing
February to April aligns with NZ autumn – school terms are running, so families travel less and fares are lower. July to August is the NZ school holiday window – fares are higher but the Hoi An weather is settled. March and April are SmileJet's most recommended window for NZ patients who can flex their dates.
