What to Expect
Arrival and Reception
The clinic entrance on Chau Long Street is clearly signposted in English. Reception staff greet international patients in English and collect any X-rays or treatment records you have brought from home. If you have shared your case in advance through SmileJet, your file is already prepared and waiting. You are offered water and a short form covering your medical history and any medications.
Consultation Room
You meet your assigned dentist in a private consultation room rather than immediately in the dental chair. The dentist reviews your records, discusses your goals, and answers questions without time pressure. For cosmetic cases, digital photographs are taken and, if you are considering veneers or a smile makeover, a digital smile preview is shown on-screen so you can visualize the proposed outcome before any commitment.
Diagnostic Imaging
Most new patients proceed to a digital panoramic X-ray and, for implant or complex cosmetic cases, a CBCT 3D scan. These are performed on-site and reviewed with you in real time. The dentist explains findings in plain language and outlines treatment options at different price points.
Treatment Process
Picasso Dental structures multi-session treatments to fit short travel windows wherever possible. For a veneer case, tooth preparation and temporaries are placed on day one; the final porcelain restorations are fitted and bonded on day three or four after the laboratory turnaround. Implant surgery and immediate temporaries can often be completed within a single extended appointment. Throughout each session the dental assistant monitors your comfort and translates if any explanation needs reinforcing.
Aftercare Instructions
Before you leave, the clinic provides written aftercare instructions in English covering dietary restrictions, oral hygiene protocol, and warning signs to watch for. For cosmetic restorations, a follow-up review is scheduled before you depart Hanoi. For patients returning home, the clinic offers WhatsApp follow-up support and can liaise with your dentist at home if there is a clinical question during the healing period.
International Patient Support
Picasso Dental has a dedicated coordinator for international patients who can recommend nearby accommodation, help estimate total trip costs, and advise on the best timing for multi-stage procedures relative to flight schedules. The clinic can issue documentation for travel insurance claims and, on request, provide a summary report in English for your regular dentist at home.
Before and After
Case 1: Full Smile Makeover – Patient from Melbourne, Australia
A 34-year-old patient from Melbourne arrived with severe tetracycline staining across her upper and lower arches that had resisted years of whitening treatments. She had received quotes of AUD 28,000 for 16 porcelain veneers in Melbourne and decided to travel to Hanoi for a second opinion. Dr. Dao Trong Khanh assessed her case, confirmed she was a strong veneer candidate, and produced a digital smile preview during the first appointment. Tooth preparation was completed on day two with temporaries fitted the same afternoon. On day five, the final feldspathic porcelain veneers were bonded. The patient departed Hanoi with an even, naturally white smile and described the staining as completely invisible. Total cost including return flights was less than a third of the Melbourne quote.
Case 2: Implant-Supported Crown After Trauma – Patient from London, UK
A 41-year-old man from London had lost an upper front tooth in a cycling accident three years earlier and had been wearing a removable partial denture. Back home he had been quoted GBP 4,200 for a single implant and crown. At Picasso Dental, a CBCT scan confirmed sufficient bone volume for immediate implant placement. The Nobel Biocare implant was placed under local anaesthetic in a 90-minute session, and a temporary crown was fitted the same day so he did not leave the clinic with a gap. He returned to London and came back to Hanoi six months later for the final zirconia crown fitting. The restored tooth was indistinguishable from the adjacent natural teeth, and the total cost including both trips was under GBP 1,800.
Case 3: Composite Veneer Refresh – Patient from Seoul, South Korea
A 28-year-old South Korean woman living in Hanoi for work had developed chipping and minor discolouration on her four upper front teeth after five years of wear. She wanted a conservative, reversible solution before committing to porcelain veneers. Dr. Dao Trong Khanh used a layered composite technique to reshape and resurface all four teeth in a single two-hour appointment. No anaesthetic was required and no tooth structure was removed. The result was a smooth, uniform appearance that matched her natural tooth shade. She was advised to return for polishing every twelve months and given the option to upgrade to porcelain at any point. The entire procedure cost USD 280 – a fraction of equivalent composite bonding costs in Seoul.
