Frequently asked questions
Which airport should Coventry patients use for Vietnam?
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is approximately 20 miles from Coventry city centre (25–30 minutes), making it the obvious choice. Emirates and Qatar Airways operate from Birmingham to Vietnam hubs. East Midlands Airport (EMA) is an alternative at approximately 35 miles (40–50 minutes). London Heathrow is approximately 90 miles if carrier choice matters more than distance.
What do private veneers cost in Coventry?
Emax porcelain veneers at Coventry private practices typically range from GBP 650–1,150 per tooth. A 10-tooth set is GBP 6,500–11,500. At Picasso Vietnam, the same 10-unit Emax Press set costs GBP 2,610. After flights and accommodation from Birmingham, most Coventry patients see a saving of GBP 1,500–7,500 on a full smile case.
What NHS dental charges apply in Coventry?
NHS dental treatment in England uses three charge bands (2026): Band 1 (GBP 26.80) for examination, X-ray and scale and polish; Band 2 (GBP 73.50) for fillings, extractions and root canals; Band 3 (GBP 319.10) for crowns, bridges and dentures. Veneers and implants are not available on the NHS in routine circumstances.
How long does the trip take from Coventry?
Birmingham Airport to Vietnam is approximately 13–16 hours via a Gulf hub. Allow 2 travel days either end of your clinic time. For a veneer or crown case, plan approximately 12–14 calendar days in total. All-on-4 and implant cases need 10–14 clinic days plus travel.
Which Picasso branch suits Coventry patients?
Hanoi Old Quarter is recommended for complex implant and All-on-4 cases. Da Nang is popular for veneer and crown cases combined with beach recovery. Ho Chi Minh City works well for patients connecting through Gulf hubs. Picasso will recommend the best branch after reviewing photos and X-rays.
Is it worth going to Vietnam for just a few veneers?
For 1–3 veneers, the trip economics are usually marginal. The saving becomes compelling for cases of 6+ units or any implant, All-on-4, or full-mouth plan. Run the full comparison: Picasso treatment cost plus flight plus hotel versus a written Coventry private quote.
