What's Included
What Your Cosmetic Quote Actually Includes
No "design fee", no "scan fee", no "consultation fee" surprise. Every Emax or Lisi veneer at Picasso already covers the full digital workflow, free.
Digital Smile Design
Full 2D and 3D smile preview generated from your photographs and iTero scan, before any tooth is prepared. You approve the design before we proceed. Included free.
iTero Digital Scan
Sub-30-micron digital impression of your teeth, no putty trays. Captured in minutes and used to design and fabricate your veneers to digital tolerances. Included free.
Physical Wax-Up
The lab produces a physical model of your planned smile in wax so you can see and feel the proposed shape and length before bonding. Included free.
In-Mouth Mock-Up
A removable composite trial of the planned veneers placed directly on your teeth. You speak, smile, photograph yourself and approve, or request adjustments, before preparation begins. Included free.
Lab Fabrication
Veneers are fabricated by our partner ceramic lab to your approved digital design, in genuine Ivoclar Vivadent Emax Press, Emax Press Plus or Lisi pressed ceramic. Material cost included.

Whitening
Whitening Cost Breakdown
Whitening is often the cheapest cosmetic upgrade and a sensible first step before veneers. Porcelain does not change colour, so we whiten first and shade-match veneers to a stable brighter baseline.
At-home kits, custom trays, in-office laser whitening (Beyond / Pola / Zoom!) per jaw or full mouth, combo packages and internal bleaching for a root-treated tooth are all available. Current rates are on our dental costs page.

Why Vietnam
Why Cosmetic Dentistry Is So Much Cheaper in Vietnam
The honest answer. Lower cost does not mean lower quality, here is exactly why the price difference exists.
Lower Labour and Overheads
Vietnamese cosmetic dentists, ceramists and clinical staff earn substantially less than Australian, UK or US counterparts despite identical training, materials and protocols. Real estate, utilities and insurance for a clinic in Da Nang or Hanoi cost a fraction of equivalent space in Sydney or central London.
Currency Arbitrage
VND/USD/AUD/GBP exchange rates favour international patients. The same nominal hours of cosmetic work translate to dramatically different prices in different currencies, even when the underlying cost-to-clinic per case is broadly similar.
Same Emax and Lisi Materials
Picasso uses identical Ivoclar Vivadent Emax Press, Emax Press Plus and Lisi pressed-ceramic veneers used in cosmetic clinics in Sydney, Paris and London. Same boxes, same lot numbers, same manufacturer documentation. The porcelain itself does not get cheaper, only the labour around it.
Trip Cost
Total Trip Cost Calculator
The realistic travel budget for a typical 7 to 14 day cosmetic trip: flights + hotel + meals for two people.
| Origin | Round-trip flights (typical) | Hotel Da Nang / Hanoi (per night) | 7-day trip (2 people) | 14-day trip (2 people) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney / Melbourne | ~800–1,400 AUD pp | ~35–80 USD | ~2,500–3,200 USD | ~3,500–4,500 USD |
| London | ~700–1,100 GBP pp | ~35–80 USD | ~3,000–3,800 USD | ~4,000–5,000 USD |
| US west coast | ~1,000–1,500 USD pp | ~35–80 USD | ~3,200–4,000 USD | ~4,200–5,000 USD |
| Singapore / Hong Kong | ~250–450 USD pp | ~35–80 USD | ~1,400–1,800 USD | ~2,000–2,500 USD |
Most cosmetic cases (8 to 16 veneers) finish in two clinic visits across 7 to 14 days, fitting a single dental tourism trip. Even with a 14-day stay, a full Hollywood Smile (16 Emax) from Sydney typically costs less than one third of the Sydney-clinic price for the veneers alone.
Buyer's Guide
How to Avoid Getting Overcharged
Three rules that protect you from the most common cosmetic-tourism mistakes. Picasso Dental follows all three by default.
1. Confirm Material in Writing
Insist on the exact veneer material in your written quote: Emax Press, Emax Press Plus, or Lisi. "Porcelain" alone is meaningless, prices for generic feldspathic porcelain, pressed lithium disilicate and premium Lisi differ by a factor of two or more. Ask for the manufacturer's material certificate. Picasso provides this with every case.
2. Confirm Digital Smile Design + Mock-Up Are Included
Some clinics quote a low veneer price then bill Digital Smile Design, iTero scan, wax-up and in-mouth mock-up as separate add-ons on top. At Picasso, all four are included in the per-veneer price. Confirm this in writing before you book.
3. Insist on a Written Warranty
Reputable cosmetic clinics offer a 5 to 7 year material warranty on porcelain veneers in writing, with terms covering debonding, fracture and shade defect. If a clinic offers no written warranty, or a verbal-only promise, the porcelain is likely off-brand. Picasso provides 7-year written warranty on all Emax and Lisi veneers.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full smile makeover cost in Vietnam?
Smile makeover cost depends on the package tier, from a Light makeover with composite refinements through Standard and Premium Emax makeovers to a full 16-veneer Hollywood Smile or a 20-veneer Lisi makeover, and on the material and number of teeth. Every package includes Digital Smile Design, iTero scan, wax-up, in-mouth mock-up and bonding, and you get a written, itemised quote before treatment. Current rates are on our dental costs page.
Why is cosmetic dentistry so much cheaper in Vietnam?
Lower cost in Vietnam reflects lower labour, lower clinic overheads and currency arbitrage, not lower materials. Picasso uses identical Emax Press, Emax Press Plus and Lisi pressed-ceramic veneers used by top cosmetic clinics in Sydney, Paris and London. The porcelain itself does not get cheaper, only the labour around it.
What is included in the veneer price?
Every veneer price at Picasso includes clinical photography, iTero digital scan, Digital Smile Design preview, physical wax-up, in-mouth composite mock-up, lab fabrication, bonding visit, occlusion check and final polish. There is no separate consultation fee, design fee or scan fee.
Do you accept dental insurance from abroad?
Picasso Dental does not bill foreign insurance directly, but we provide complete documentation (itemised invoices, photographs, treatment notes, material certificates) that international patients submit to their home insurance for partial reimbursement. Cosmetic veneers are typically not reimbursed by insurance, but trauma-related and structural restorations may qualify for partial cover.
How do I pay for cosmetic treatment?
International credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and bank transfer (USD or VND). For larger smile makeovers, we accept staged payments: deposit at consultation, balance at preparation visit, balance at bonding visit. No interest, no third-party finance.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, for larger smile makeover packages. Payments are aligned with treatment stages: deposit at design, balance of preparation cost on the prep visit, balance of veneer cost at bonding. International patients pay by international card or bank transfer.
Are there hidden fees?
No. We provide a written treatment plan with line-by-line pricing before any work begins. Veneer pricing already includes Digital Smile Design, iTero scan, wax-up, mock-up and bonding. Add-ons (whitening before veneers, gum contouring, nightguard) are quoted separately and only when the case requires them.
Will my home dentist do follow-up?
Yes. We provide a complete case file: material certificates, shade records, digital impression files, photographs and bonding notes. Any qualified cosmetic dentist anywhere in the world can manage routine follow-ups, polishing and bond-margin maintenance using this documentation. We also respond to questions on WhatsApp at any time.
Is it really the same Emax used in Australian clinics?
Yes. Picasso uses Ivoclar Vivadent Emax Press, Emax Press Plus and Lisi pressed lithium disilicate, the same materials supplied to top cosmetic clinics in Sydney, Paris, London and New York. Same boxes, same lot numbers, same manufacturer documentation. We provide the material certificate with every case file on request.
What if a veneer chips after I fly home?
Within the 7-year material warranty and under normal use, porcelain replacement is covered. If a veneer debonds, we re-cement it if you return to Vietnam. If you cannot return, we send the original digital files and shade records to a local cosmetic dentist of your choice so a matching replacement can be fabricated locally; we cover the material cost up to our equivalent veneer price.
