Pre-Travel Diagnostic Protocol

Dental tourism is a clinical procedure, not a package holiday. This comparison explains why Picasso's protocols differ structurally from the low-cost Turkish packages that have generated significant UK press coverage.
High-volume packages prioritising tourist throughput over clinical safety — responsible for the NHS remedial treatment crisis documented since 2021.
Healthy enamel is ground to 1–2mm stubs to fit crowns over veneers, causing irreversible nerve damage and lifetime root canal dependency.
Clinically inadequate time for gum healing, shade assessment, or trial smile reviews — leading to misaligned margins and early ceramic failure.
Unbranded or white-label ceramics used without batch numbers, making warranty claims and UK remedial work structurally impossible.
Marketing language with no documented claim process, no return-flight coverage, and no defined remedial pathway for patients back in the UK.
A medical-first practice designed to match GDC informed-consent and material-traceability standards for British patients.
Minimal prep (under 0.3mm enamel touch) or no-prep Emax veneers, preserving maximum natural tooth structure and avoiding nerve exposure.
Allows adequate gum healing, iTero digital impressions, master ceramist shade reviews, and trial smile fittings before final bonding.
Official serial numbers, manufacturer batch certification stickers, and warranty registrations provided for Emax, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Lava.
Documented warranty terms with defined claim process, remote clinical review, and approved return-flight travel support — honest about what is and is not covered.
Named Clinical Accountability
Picasso does not operate anonymous corporate dentistry. Your case file specifies the named clinician responsible for your treatment — their qualifications, implant volumes, and certifications — before you travel.
Opened the flagship Hanoi clinic in 2013. Advanced porcelain veneers specialisation. Oversees group-wide clinical director protocols and cosmetic smile standard operating procedures.
Lead implantologist practising since 2010. Trained at Loma Linda University, United States. Certified Nobel Biocare speaker and regional clinical lead for Southeast Asia. 15,000+ implants placed.
Senior implant surgeon directing full-mouth rehabilitation, bone grafting, and immediate implant loading (All-on-4, All-on-6). Specialist in complex multi-unit restorations for UK patients.
High-value restorations require individual clinical responsibility. Confirming your primary surgeon's training institution, surgical volume, and brand certifications before scheduling travel is consistent with GDC patient rights and protects long-term treatment outcomes. Picasso provides this as standard — not on request.
Verified UK Patient Outcomes
The following cases represent documented UK patient treatments at Picasso Dental Clinic, including clinical parameters, treatment duration, named clinician, and itemised final cost in GBP.
Verifiable Due Diligence

Your primary cosmetic or implant specialist is named in the case file, with medical qualifications, training institution, and surgical volume disclosed before travel.
Receive manufacturer batch certification stickers and serial number registrations for your Ivoclar Emax, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, or Osstem products — identical to UK lab traceability standards.

Documented warranty terms covering remote clinical review, approved remedial treatment, and return-flight travel support. Honest about coverage limits — no "lifetime" marketing claims.

3D Digital Dentistry Standards
All Picasso clinic branches utilise advanced imaging: iTero intraoral digital impressions eliminate uncomfortable silicone moulds and ensure sub-millimetre ceramic margin accuracy. CBCT 3D scanning measures bone density, sinus proximity, and nerve canal position for every implant case — the same diagnostic standard as specialist oral surgery centres in the UK.
Digital scan files are handed over to patients on departure for use with any UK dentist or oral surgeon for follow-up care.
Understand Picasso's Safety and Diagnostic StandardsPortrait Sitting Protocol
Picasso's Portrait Sitting protocol avoids rushed same-day ceramic bonding — the primary cause of veneer failures at high-volume clinics. The workflow uses conservative preparation, 3D facial mock-ups, and multiple trial smile fittings before permanent adhesive bonding.
Full Cosmetic Veneer ProtocolPre-travel planning: Photo arrays, shade palette selection, written GBP case plan, and trial smile digital mock-up issued before departure.
Clinical preparation: Conservative enamel preparation (under 0.3mm), iTero digital impressions, and temporary veneer placement for gum healing assessment.
Precision ceramic bonding: Master ceramist shade review, trial smile fitting approval, and final Emax adhesive bonding with bite and margin verification.

Emax Press porcelain veneers at Picasso Dental Clinic cost £261 per tooth. A standard 10-tooth veneer set costs approximately £2,610, compared to £800–£1,500 per tooth at UK private practices — a saving of 65–80%. Non-prep Emax veneers cost £319 per tooth. All veneer prices include a 7-year material warranty and certified Ivoclar Vivadent batch documentation.
A single Nobel Biocare or Straumann implant at Picasso Dental Clinic — fixture, abutment, and crown combined — costs £1,160. At UK private practices, the equivalent typically costs £2,500–£4,000, a saving of 55–70%. Osstem implants are available from £725. All brands are internationally manufactured and supplied with official serial number documentation. Picasso has placed 15,000+ implants.
All-on-4 full-arch treatment at Picasso Dental Clinic starts from £3,623 per arch using Osstem implants. Nobel Biocare or Straumann All-on-4 starts from £6,377 per arch. UK All-on-4 typically costs £12,000–£25,000 per arch. Picasso prices include all four implants, a temporary arch, and the final prosthetic. Two-arch (full mouth) treatment starts from £7,246.
Picasso Dental Clinic has treated 70,000+ patients from 62 countries since 2013. The clinic uses internationally certified implant and prosthetic materials — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Ivoclar Emax, Osstem — identical to UK-contracted laboratory standards. In-house diagnostics include OPG panoramic X-ray, CBCT 3D bone scanning, and iTero digital impressions. The implantology team is led by Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, who has placed 15,000+ implants and trained at Loma Linda University in the United States.
The 'Turkey teeth' phenomenon — healthy teeth ground to pegs, undisclosed cheap ceramics, 3-day rushed turnarounds — is widely documented in the UK press. Picasso Dental Clinic uses the same Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Ivoclar Emax material systems available in NHS-contracted UK labs. Key differences: Picasso operates a paced 7–10 day treatment protocol, provides official material batch cards, and issues a written GDC-comparable informed-consent plan before you travel. Safety depends on the specific clinic, not the country — but Picasso's documented material standards and English-language clinical process make the comparison straightforward.
Treatment duration depends on the procedure. Emax veneers (10 units) typically require 5–7 treatment days. A single dental implant placement requires 3–5 days. All-on-4 full-arch restorations require a minimum of 7–10 days for the placement phase. Flight time from London Heathrow to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City is approximately 11–14 hours with one stop. Your free GBP quote includes a personalised trip-length estimate based on your specific tooth chart.
Picasso's SmileCare Global Warranty provides a written, documented process for UK patients. Emax veneers carry a 7-year material warranty. Lava and Lava Plus crowns carry a 10-year warranty. Nobel Biocare and Straumann implant system crowns are warranted for 10 years; Osstem implants for 5 years. The warranty covers remote clinical review via secure photo submission, approved remedial treatment, and return-flight travel support when a warranty visit is confirmed. No brand carries a lifetime warranty — any clinic claiming this should be avoided.
For veneers and crowns: Ivoclar Vivadent Emax Press (lithium disilicate), Lava Plus zirconia, and VITA ceramic. For implants: Straumann SLActive (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare TiUltra (US/Sweden), Osstem (South Korea), and Neodent (Brazil). All materials are supplied with manufacturer batch cards, serial number registration, and official warranty documentation — the same traceability standard as UK private practices.
