Picasso Dental Clinic: Pricing Transparency and Payment Options

The single most useful thing a dental clinic abroad can do for an international patient is tell you the price before you get on a plane. Picasso Dental publishes a detailed price list in Vietnamese đồng (VND), and that transparency — being able to see real numbers up front — is one of the clearest signs that a clinic expects to be judged on value rather than on what you do not know.

This page walks through Picasso's published prices across every major category, with approximate US dollar and Australian dollar figures to help you budget, explains how you can pay, and shows how to turn a published list into a firm, written quote for your own case. As a rough guide throughout, 1,000,000 VND is about US$39 or A$60; exact conversions move with the exchange rate, so treat the VND figure as the real price.

Why does a published price list matter?

Dental tourism has an information problem: patients often cannot compare clinics because nobody quotes openly until you are already committed. A published price list flips that. When a clinic puts a 200,000 VND consultation and a 125,000,000 VND full-arch case in writing for anyone to read, it is inviting comparison and setting an expectation that the invoice will match the list — adjusted only for what your specific mouth needs.

Picasso Dental has served more than 70,000 patients from over 62 countries since opening in 2013, and a transparent price list is part of how a clinic at that scale builds trust with people booking from abroad. It does not remove the need for a personal quote — every mouth is different — but it does mean you start from real numbers instead of guesses. For the bigger picture of what a full trip costs, our guide on what a dental trip to Vietnam costs all-in puts treatment alongside flights and accommodation.

What do everyday treatments cost?

Start with the routine work, because this is where most first-time patients begin. These are published prices in VND with approximate USD and AUD figures:

• Consultation: 200,000 VND (roughly US$8 / A$12). Children's exams are free.
• Scaling & polish (cleaning): 300,000–600,000 VND (roughly US$12–24 / A$18–36).
• Composite filling: 400,000–700,000 VND (roughly US$16–27 / A$24–42); cosmetic fillings up to 3,000,000 VND.
• Imaging: panoramic X-ray (OPG) 300,000 VND; Conebeam CT (3D) 600,000 VND; iTero digital scan 2,000,000 VND.

For many visitors, a consultation, a clean and a couple of fillings is the whole trip — and at these figures it is easy to see why people fold a check-up into a holiday. Even allowing for currency movement, a full cleaning costs less than many people pay for parking at a dentist back home. It is also worth noting that whitening sits in this everyday tier: an at-home kit is 2,000,000 VND, in-office laser whitening for one jaw is 3,500,000 VND, and a full-mouth Zoom! treatment is 6,000,000 VND — useful add-ons to factor in if a brighter smile is part of why you are travelling.

How much are root canals and extractions?

Once you move into restorative and surgical work, prices rise but stay published and predictable:

• Root canal: 2,500,000 VND (incisor) to 5,000,000 VND (molar) — roughly US$98–196 / A$149–298. Molars cost more because they have more canals to treat.
• Wisdom tooth extraction: 2,000,000–6,000,000 VND (roughly US$78–235 / A$119–357), depending on how impacted the tooth is.
• Permanent (non-wisdom) extraction: 1,000,000–2,000,000 VND (roughly US$39–78 / A$60–119).

A root canal is often the step before a crown, so if you see both on your plan that is normal rather than a surprise charge. This is exactly the kind of sequencing a written quote makes clear, which is why we keep returning to it below.

What do crowns and veneers cost per tooth?

Here is the most important budgeting point on the whole page: crowns and veneers are priced per unit, per tooth. A single crown looks affordable; ten crowns is ten times the unit price. The number alongside each material below is for one tooth, and the warranty reflects the material, not a clinic-wide guarantee.

Crowns (per unit, with warranty):

• PFM-titanium — 5,000,000 VND (roughly US$196 / A$298), 5-year warranty.
• Zirconia — 7,000,000 VND (roughly US$275 / A$417), 5-year warranty.
• CERCON HT — 8,000,000 VND (roughly US$314 / A$476), 5–7-year warranty.
• Emax — 9,000,000 VND (roughly US$353 / A$536), 7-year warranty.
• Lava — 11,000,000 VND (roughly US$431 / A$655), 10-year warranty.
• Lava Plus — 12,000,000 VND (roughly US$471 / A$714), 10-year warranty.
• ORODENT — 17,000,000 VND (roughly US$667 / A$1,012), 10-year warranty.

Veneers (per unit):

• Composite veneer — 3,000,000 VND (roughly US$118 / A$179), 6-month warranty.
• Emax Press — 9,000,000 VND (roughly US$353 / A$536), 7-year warranty.
• Emax Press Plus — 10,000,000 VND (roughly US$392 / A$595).
• Non-prep Emax — 11,000,000 VND (roughly US$431 / A$655).
• Lisi — 12,000,000 VND (roughly US$471 / A$714).

The warranties listed are the real terms for each material — there is no lifetime warranty on any crown or veneer here, so be wary if any clinic claims one. For a deeper look at materials and full-smile cases, see our guide to Picasso Dental veneers and smile makeovers.

What about implants and full-arch work?

Implants are the biggest single line items, and again they are priced per implant. A single implant combo includes the fixture, abutment and crown:

• Osstem — 25,000,000 VND (roughly US$980 / A$1,488).
• ETK / Neodent / SIC — 30,000,000 VND (roughly US$1,176 / A$1,786).
• Nobel Biocare / Straumann — 40,000,000 VND (roughly US$1,569 / A$2,381).
• Straumann BLX — 45,000,000 VND (roughly US$1,765 / A$2,679).

For full-arch replacement, All-on-4 starts at 125,000,000 VND (roughly US$4,900 / A$7,440) for an Osstem system, with premium Nobel and Straumann options costing more. Preparatory procedures such as bone grafting (4,000,000–15,000,000 VND) or sinus augmentation (7,000,000–14,000,000 VND) are charged separately when needed. Picasso's implant team is led by Dr. Tran Thanh Phong, Head of Implantology, who has placed more than 15,000 implants — context worth weighing alongside price. Our dedicated page on Picasso Dental implant services and pricing breaks down every system and full-arch option in detail.

The savings on this kind of work are what draw most international patients in the first place. Our comparison of dental implant costs in Vietnam versus the US, UK and Australia shows where those figures sit against home-country prices, and our overview of how much you can save with dental tourism sets realistic expectations once travel is included.

How much do braces and Invisalign cost?

Orthodontics is priced as a full course rather than per tooth, since it treats the whole bite:

• Braces (full course): 24,000,000–68,000,000 VND (roughly US$940–2,670 / A$1,430–4,050), depending on the bracket type and complexity.
• Invisalign: 35,000,000–150,000,000 VND (roughly US$1,370–5,880 / A$2,080–8,930), with an 8,000,000 VND ClinCheck digital planning fee.

Picasso is a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider, which reflects clear-aligner volume. Orthodontics is a long treatment that mostly happens after you go home, so the practicalities of remote check-ins matter as much as the price — and note that aligners are not painless, with some pressure normal in the early days of each tray.

How can you pay, and what fees should you expect?

Picasso Dental accepts three payment methods, and choosing well can save you a little on top of the treatment cost:

• Card (POS): Visa and Mastercard via a card terminal. Convenient, but check whether your own bank charges a foreign-transaction fee and what exchange rate it applies.
• Vietnam bank transfer: useful for larger treatment plans; confirm details and timing with the clinic.
• Cash in VND: avoids card fees, but means carrying or withdrawing local currency, often in stages as treatment progresses.

Because exchange rates move daily, the exact home-currency cost of a card payment is only settled when your bank processes it. Many patients pay larger cases in instalments tied to treatment stages — for example, part at the start of implant work and the balance when the final crown is fitted. Confirm the schedule in writing so there are no surprises.

How do you get an itemised, no-surprises quote?

A published list tells you the unit prices; a written quote tells you your price. The two together are how you avoid hidden fees.

Ask for the quote in writing, itemised line by line, before any treatment begins — and make sure it names the materials, brands and number of teeth involved, so each figure traces back to the published list.

The practical sequence is simple. Contact the clinic ahead of travel by email or WhatsApp, send recent X-rays or photos, and ask for an indicative quote — enough to budget your trip. Once you arrive, an in-person exam plus imaging (an OPG, a Conebeam CT or an iTero scan) lets the clinic produce a firm, itemised quote. If preparatory work like a root canal or bone graft is needed, it appears as its own line rather than as a vague extra. To budget sensibly, total the per-tooth items, add any imaging and preparatory procedures, and leave a margin for the exchange rate. Our guide on how to book a consultation with Picasso Dental walks through the booking and quote process step by step, Picasso Dental's treatment FAQ answers many of the common questions about what each procedure involves, and the Picasso Dental overview for international patients sets the wider context.

Honest pricing also means acknowledging what a list cannot capture: the published figures are starting points, and your real cost is case-dependent. A clinic that says so, and then backs it with a written breakdown, is being straight with you — which is the whole point of transparency.

Contact and booking

To turn these published prices into a quote for your own case, send your details to the clinic before you travel. Most international patients share photos or X-rays first so they receive an indicative figure, then confirm an itemised quote in person.

This article is general information for people researching dental care abroad and is not medical or dental advice. All prices are published in Vietnamese đồng (VND) as provided by the clinic; the US dollar and Australian dollar figures are approximate, fluctuate with exchange rates, and are for guidance only. Published prices are indicative starting points — your final, case-dependent cost is confirmed by the clinic after an examination and any necessary imaging. Always request a written, itemised quote and confirm current prices and payment terms directly with the clinic before booking.

Frequently asked questions

Does Picasso Dental publish its prices?

Yes. Picasso Dental publishes a service price list in Vietnamese đồng (VND) covering consultations, cleaning, fillings, root canals, crowns, veneers, whitening, implants, full-arch work and orthodontics. Published figures range from a 200,000 VND consultation to full-arch All-on-4 cases from 125,000,000 VND. These are indicative starting prices that help you budget before you travel; the final cost for your case is confirmed after an examination and any necessary X-rays or 3D scans, because the number of teeth, materials and brands you choose all affect the total.

What payment methods does Picasso Dental accept?

Picasso Dental accepts payment by Visa or Mastercard through a POS card terminal, by Vietnam bank transfer, and in cash in Vietnamese đồng (VND). Knowing this in advance helps you plan: card payments are convenient but may carry your own bank's foreign-transaction fee, while cash in VND avoids card fees but means handling local currency. Many international patients use a mix. Always confirm the accepted methods and any conditions directly with the clinic when you finalise your treatment plan.

How much does a single dental implant cost at Picasso Dental?

A single implant combo at Picasso — which includes the fixture, abutment and crown — starts at 25,000,000 VND (roughly US$980 / A$1,490) for an Osstem system, rising to 30,000,000 VND for ETK, Neodent or SIC, 40,000,000 VND for Nobel Biocare or Straumann, and 45,000,000 VND for Straumann BLX. The price difference reflects the implant brand and system, not a discount on quality. If you need bone grafting or sinus augmentation first, those are charged separately. A written quote after a 3D scan will show exactly which components apply to your case.

Are the published prices the final amount I will pay?

Not necessarily. The published list gives honest, indicative starting prices, but your final invoice is case-dependent. Crowns, veneers and implants are priced per unit or per tooth, so your total depends on how many teeth are treated. Some cases also need preparatory work — for example, a root canal before a crown, or a bone graft before an implant — which adds to the total. This is why the clinic provides a written, itemised quote after examining you, so you can see each line item rather than estimating from the list alone.

How do I get a written quote from Picasso Dental before I travel?

You can email [email protected] or message the clinic on WhatsApp at +84 989 067 888, sending any recent X-rays, photos or a description of what you need. The team can give an indicative view and a rough quote remotely, which is enough to budget your trip. A fully confirmed, itemised quote is produced after an in-person examination and any imaging — a panoramic X-ray, Conebeam CT or iTero scan — because that is when the clinic can see exactly what your case involves. Asking for the quote in writing keeps everything clear.

Why are the prices shown in Vietnamese đồng?

Picasso Dental is based in Vietnam, so its official prices are set in Vietnamese đồng (VND), the local currency. We add approximate US dollar and Australian dollar figures in this article to help you gauge cost, but those conversions are only a guide and exchange rates move daily. The amount you actually pay depends on the rate at the time and, if you pay by card, on your own bank's exchange rate and any foreign-transaction fee. For the most accurate budgeting, treat VND as the real price and the USD/AUD figures as a ballpark.
