SmileJet Vietnam city quiz

Question 1 of 8

What climate do you want to recover in?

Results are weighted recommendations, not binding matches. You can change your city at any point before signing a clinic contract. For specific pairwise decisions, use the city-pair comparison pages.

Behind the quiz

What the quiz actually scores

The quiz uses a weighted scoring matrix across eight dimensions. Each question allocates points to the five SmileJet cities based on the dimension your answer reflects. The city with the highest total score is recommended; the second-highest is the runner-up. The matrix is built from SmileJet patient preference data.

Climate

Cool-dry (Hanoi), beach-coastal (Da Nang), island-tropical (Phu Quoc), year-round consistent (HCMC). The highest-weight dimension in the quiz.

Recovery pace

Low-stimulation (Hoi An), heritage-cultural (Hanoi), city-food (HCMC), resort (Phu Quoc). Strong predictor of final city choice.

Visa tolerance

E-visa required for mainland Vietnam; visa-free entry for Phu Quoc via the Special Economic Zone. A decisive filter for patients who want to skip the US$25 application.

Trip structure

Two-trip implant protocol (Hanoi, HCMC), single-trip cosmetic (Da Nang, Hoi An, Phu Quoc). Aligns case type with city logistics.

Travel companion

Solo quiet-recovery, partner-city, partner-beach, partner-culture. Non-patient experience matters significantly to the final choice.

Stimulation preference

Minimal, moderate, high. Hoi An is the clear winner for minimal; HCMC scores highest for high stimulation.

Decision driver

Clinic density, beach-proximity, case complexity, holiday feel. The most strongly correlated dimension with final city selection.

Flight preference

Direct flights to HCMC and Hanoi from AU/NZ/UK; Phu Quoc scores highest for patients willing to route via connections.

FAQ

City selection: frequently asked questions

The questions SmileJet coordinators answer most often about choosing between the five Vietnamese cities.

Can I change my city after the quiz recommends one?

Yes — the quiz result is a recommendation, not a commitment. You can change your city preference at any point before signing a clinic contract with SmileJet. Many patients find the quiz useful as a starting point, then refine their choice based on flight scheduling, travel companion preferences, or time of year. The city-pair comparison pages provide more detailed decision support for specific pairings.

What if the quiz recommends a city with a smaller clinic network?

Hoi An and Phu Quoc have smaller partner clinic networks than Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. If the quiz recommends one of these cities for recovery and lifestyle reasons but your case is complex (full mouth reconstruction, multiple All-on-4 arches, complex grafting), SmileJet may suggest using the nearby larger-network city for the clinical work and the smaller city for accommodation and recovery. Da Nang clinics are 30 minutes from Hoi An accommodation, for example.

Is the quiz result different for different treatment types?

The quiz weights the same eight dimensions for all treatment types. However, trip structure (single-trip vs two-trip) and decision driver (clinic density vs beach vs holiday feel) questions implicitly distinguish treatment complexity. All-on-4 patients who select "complex case, clinic density matters" and "two trips" will score HCMC or Hanoi more heavily than patients selecting "veneers, single trip, beach recovery."

What is the difference between Da Nang and Hoi An on the quiz?

Da Nang scores higher for patients who want beach-walk recovery with good clinic choice and a mid-pace city environment. Hoi An scores higher for patients who want the slowest recovery pace, a heritage-tourism backdrop (UNESCO Ancient Town), and low stimulation during healing. Both cities use Da Nang International Airport (DAD); Hoi An patients add a 30-minute car transfer. The clinical standard is equivalent.
