Locations, languages and getting started

Where are Picasso Dental's clinics located?

Picasso operates six branches across four Vietnamese cities. In Hanoi there is the flagship Old Quarter clinic at 16 Phố Châu Long, Trúc Bạch, Ba Đình, and a Westlake branch in Bắc Từ Liêm. In Da Nang there are two locations — one in the city centre on Hoàng Diệu and a hospital branch inside Vinmec International Hospital. There is also a Ho Chi Minh City branch in the expat district of Thảo Điền (District 2) and a Da Lat branch at Link General Hospital. This spread lets you combine treatment with travel, and you can plan routes and transfers with our location and travel guide.

What languages does Picasso Dental speak?

Care is delivered in English and Vietnamese. English-speaking communication runs through consultations, treatment planning and follow-up, which removes one of the biggest sources of anxiety in dental tourism. The clinic offers English and Vietnamese only, so if you need another language, arrange your own interpreter before you arrive.

How do I book a consultation at Picasso Dental?

You can reach the clinic by email at [email protected], by phone on +84 989 067 888 or 024 7308 8848, or by WhatsApp on +84 989 067 888. Many international patients begin by sending recent photos or X-rays so the team can give an indicative plan and quote before travel. Hanoi branches are open Monday to Sunday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Our step-by-step guide on how to book a consultation walks through exactly what to send and ask.

What should I expect on my first visit?

A first visit usually starts with a consultation and the imaging your case needs — a panoramic OPG X-ray, a Conebeam CT scan or an iTero digital scan — followed by a written treatment plan and quote. From there the team stages your treatment around the time you have in Vietnam. For a walk-through of the appointment itself, see what to expect on your first visit.

Prices: what common treatments actually cost

Picasso publishes prices in Vietnamese dong, which means you can budget before you travel. Throughout this section the dong figure is the figure that applies; conversions to US and Australian dollars are approximate and exchange rates fluctuate.

How much does a consultation and basic check-up cost?

A standard consultation is 200,000 VND (roughly US$8 / A$12) and children's exams are free. A panoramic OPG X-ray is 300,000 VND, a Conebeam CT scan is 600,000 VND, and an iTero digital scan is 2,000,000 VND (roughly US$78 / A$119). Scaling and polishing ranges from 300,000 to 600,000 VND, and a composite filling is 400,000 to 700,000 VND, with cosmetic fillings up to 3,000,000 VND.

What does a crown cost at Picasso Dental?

Crowns are priced per unit by material:

• Porcelain-fused-to-titanium — 5,000,000 VND (roughly US$196 / A$298), five-year warranty
• Zirconia — 7,000,000 VND, five-year warranty
• CERCON HT — 8,000,000 VND, five-to-seven-year warranty
• Emax — 9,000,000 VND, seven-year warranty
• Lava — 11,000,000 VND, ten-year warranty
• Lava Plus — 12,000,000 VND, ten-year warranty
• ORODENT — 17,000,000 VND, ten-year warranty

How much does a single dental implant cost?

A single-implant package bundles the fixture, abutment and crown. Pricing runs from 25,000,000 VND (roughly US$980 / A$1,490) for an Osstem system, to about 30,000,000 VND for ETK, Neodent or SIC, to 40,000,000 VND for Nobel Biocare or Straumann, and up to 45,000,000 VND for Straumann BLX. Full-arch All-on-4 starts at 125,000,000 VND for Osstem, with All-on-6 and All-on-X priced higher depending on system and case. Our implant services and pricing guide breaks these down in detail.

What about whitening, braces and Invisalign?

In-office laser whitening for one jaw is 3,500,000 VND (roughly US$137 / A$208) and full-mouth Zoom! is 6,000,000 VND, with an at-home kit at 2,000,000 VND; results generally last 12 to 24 months with maintenance. A full course of braces runs 24,000,000 to 68,000,000 VND, while Invisalign ranges from 35,000,000 to 150,000,000 VND, plus an 8,000,000 VND ClinCheck planning fee. Note that Invisalign is not painless — some discomfort is normal early in treatment. For how billing and quotes work, see our pricing transparency and payment guide.

How can I pay?

Picasso accepts Visa and Mastercard through a card terminal, Vietnam bank transfer, and cash in Vietnamese dong. Because prices are published in dong, you can confirm a written quote before committing, and the dong figure is always the figure that applies.

Brands, materials and technology

What implant and crown brands does Picasso use?

Implant systems include Osstem, ETK, Neodent, SIC, Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Straumann BLX, with full-arch All-on-4, All-on-5, All-on-6 and All-on-X options. For bone management, Picasso offers bone grafting (autograft, Bio-Oss, GBR with Bio-Gide), closed and open sinus augmentation, and PRP/PRF. Crowns and veneers use materials such as Zirconia, CERCON HT, Emax, Lava, Lava Plus and ORODENT, plus Emax Press and non-prep Emax veneers. It is worth noting that Nobel Biocare and Straumann are Swiss-origin systems — premium global brands, not local substitutes.

What imaging and scanning technology is available?

Diagnostics use panoramic X-ray (OPG), Conebeam CT for 3D imaging, and the iTero digital scanner for impressions and clear-aligner planning. This matters for international patients because accurate 3D imaging lets the team plan implant and full-arch cases precisely and share that plan with you before treatment begins.

Warranties, trips and safety

What warranty do treatments at Picasso come with?

Crowns and veneers carry written warranties tied to the material — five years on PFM-titanium and Zirconia crowns, seven years on Emax, and ten years on Lava, Lava Plus and ORODENT, with composite veneers warranted for six months. There is no lifetime warranty, because no brand used at Picasso offers one. For full-arch prosthetics, confirm the exact prosthetic warranty terms in writing as part of your plan rather than assuming a figure.

How many trips does a dental implant take?

Conventional implant treatment is usually staged: the fixture is placed first, then after a healing period the final crown is fitted, which often means two visits to Vietnam. Some cases — such as All-on-4 immediate loading — can place a fixed temporary arch much sooner. Dr. Tran Thanh Phong was the first Vietnamese dentist to perform All-on-4 immediate loading and has done so since 2010. Your exact plan depends on your bone, healing and whether grafting is needed, so ask for a staged timeline at consultation.

Is it safe to get dental work at Picasso as a foreigner?

Picasso has served more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries, reflecting extensive experience with international visitors. It uses globally recognised brands and modern imaging, is a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider, and delivers care in English, and you can read one table-tennis player's journey from the table to the dentist's chair for a first-hand sense of the experience. As with any treatment, ask for a clear plan, written quote and warranty terms, and disclose your full medical history so the team can plan safely.

Who are the dentists at Picasso Dental?

The founding Clinical Director is Dr. Emily Nguyen, who established the original clinic in 2013, led the 2023 rebrand and sets clinical standards across the group. The Head of Implantology is Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, the most senior implantologist, who has placed implants since 2001, performs around 600 a year and has placed more than 15,000 in total; he has been a Nobel Biocare clinical representative in Vietnam since 2007. Dr. Hung Le Ba Gia leads implant work under his direction, and the orthodontic team includes Dr. Thuan Phung with more than 1,500 cases. The wider team is framed as "Internationally Trained Excellence."

Aftercare from abroad

How does aftercare work once I fly home?

Your treatment plan should include written records, warranty terms and aftercare guidance to take home. Keep your X-rays, the brand and warranty details of any crowns or implants, and your clinical notes, so a dentist in your own country can support routine follow-up. You can contact Picasso by email, phone or WhatsApp if a question arises after you return. Our guide to aftercare and international warranty explains how to keep records straight and how warranty questions are handled from overseas.

The questions worth asking before you fly are simple: what is the plan, what is the written price, what is the warranty, and how many trips will it take? Picasso's published facts make all four answerable in advance.
