Frequently asked questions
Which airport should Stoke-on-Trent patients use for Vietnam?
Manchester Airport (MAN) is approximately 45 miles from Stoke-on-Trent (50–60 minutes) and has Qatar Airways and Emirates routes to Vietnam hubs. Birmingham Airport (BHX) is approximately 55 miles (55–65 minutes) and offers similar Vietnam connectivity. Compare both for each set of travel dates — the closer option is not always the better fare.
What do private veneers cost in Stoke-on-Trent?
Emax porcelain veneers at Stoke-on-Trent private practices typically range from GBP 580–1,050 per tooth. A 10-tooth set is GBP 5,800–10,500. At Picasso Vietnam, the same 10-unit Emax Press set costs GBP 2,610. After flights and accommodation, most Stoke patients see a saving of GBP 800–6,500 on a full smile case.
What NHS dental charges apply in Stoke-on-Trent?
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.
Which Picasso branch suits Stoke-on-Trent patients?
Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi — both are accessible via Gulf hub connections from Manchester or Birmingham. Hanoi Old Quarter is recommended for complex implant and All-on-4 cases. Da Nang suits cosmetic cases with beach recovery. Picasso confirms the branch after reviewing your photos.
How long does the trip take from Stoke?
Drive to Manchester or Birmingham (50–65 minutes), then approximately 13–16 hours to Vietnam via a Gulf hub. Allow a full travel day each end. For a veneer case, plan approximately 12–14 calendar days in total.
Is the saving worthwhile from Stoke-on-Trent?
For cases of 8+ veneers, multiple implants, or All-on-4, yes. The lower local private prices in Stoke mean the absolute saving is smaller than from London or Oxford, but the relative saving is similar: 55–75% off the private price. Always compare total trip cost versus a written local quote.
