Picasso Dental Clinic: Veneers and Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is not a single product you buy; it is a plan, built tooth by tooth, that uses whitening, veneers and sometimes a little alignment to give you a brighter, more even smile you are happy to show. At Picasso Dental Clinic, that plan is priced transparently and per tooth, so instead of a vague "package" you can see exactly what each veneer and each whitening step costs before you commit. This page sets out Picasso's veneer and smile-makeover offering in detail: the real prices in Vietnamese dong with approximate US dollar and Australian dollar conversions, the minimally invasive preparation Picasso favours, the non-prep options, the whitening choices, and how all of it can be combined into a single coordinated trip. The aim is honest and aspirational at once: a beautiful smile is genuinely achievable here, and you deserve to understand precisely how it is built and what it costs.

What does a smile makeover at Picasso actually involve?

A smile makeover is a tailored combination of cosmetic treatments designed around the teeth that show when you smile and talk, usually the upper six to ten front teeth, sometimes the lower ones too. It begins with a consultation and a digital scan, so the dentist can see the shape, colour, alignment and condition of your teeth and discuss what you want to change, whether that is colour, small chips and gaps, worn edges, or the overall shape of the smile.

From there the plan is assembled from a small set of building blocks: professional whitening to brighten the natural shade, veneers to reshape and resurface individual teeth, and occasionally short orthodontic alignment or gum contouring where the underlying position needs correcting first. Picasso has cosmetic and orthodontic dentists on its team, including Dr. Rosie, who works across cosmetic and orthodontic dentistry, which means a makeover that needs both a little alignment and veneers can be planned by clinicians who do both rather than being split across separate clinics. The makeover, in other words, is a sequence, and the value lies in sequencing it correctly.

The honest way to think about a smile makeover is not "how do I get veneers" but "what is the smallest, most conservative set of steps that gives me the smile I want" — and at a clinic that prices each step openly, you can actually answer that question.

How much do veneers cost at Picasso, per tooth?

Picasso prices veneers per unit, which is the clearest way to understand a makeover: you simply multiply the per-tooth figure by the number of teeth in your plan. Here are the real list prices in Vietnamese dong, with approximate conversions (rates fluctuate, so treat them as a guide):

• Composite veneer — 3,000,000 VND per tooth (roughly US$118 / A$179). A direct, chairside resin veneer; the most affordable option, with a six-month warranty.
• Emax Press veneer — 9,000,000 VND per tooth (roughly US$353 / A$536). Pressed-ceramic porcelain with a minimal 0.3–0.5mm preparation.
• Emax Press Plus veneer — 10,000,000 VND per tooth (roughly US$392 / A$595). An enhanced Emax pressed veneer.
• Non-prep Emax veneer — 11,000,000 VND per tooth (roughly US$431 / A$655). For suitable cases, bonded with little or no tooth reduction.
• Lisi veneer — 12,000,000 VND per tooth (roughly US$471 / A$714). A premium pressed-ceramic veneer, the top of Picasso's veneer range.

To see how this scales, a popular upper smile makeover of, say, eight Emax Press veneers works out at eight times 9,000,000 VND, or 72,000,000 VND in total (roughly US$2,824 / A$4,286) — a figure that remains a fraction of what comparable porcelain work costs in Western clinics. For a fuller breakdown of how porcelain veneer pricing and process work in Vietnam generally, see our guide to porcelain veneers in Vietnam: cost and process, and for the head-to-head between resin and ceramic, our comparison of composite versus porcelain veneers. Picasso also keeps its full price list open, which you can read more about in our overview of Picasso Dental's pricing transparency and payment.

Why does Picasso favour minimally invasive and non-prep veneers?

One of the most reassuring things about Picasso's veneer offering is how conservative it is with your natural teeth. Its Emax Press veneers are built around a minimal tooth reduction of just 0.3 to 0.5 millimetres — a whisper of enamel compared with the aggressive grinding that gave veneers a bad name decades ago. Less reduction means more of your own healthy tooth is preserved beneath the veneer, which is better for long-term tooth health and keeps your options open in the future.

For cases where the teeth are well positioned to begin with, Picasso goes a step further and offers non-prep Emax veneers, where little or no enamel is removed at all and the thin ceramic is bonded over the existing surface. Whether a non-prep approach is right depends on the shape, alignment and prominence of your teeth, and that is a judgement a cosmetic dentist makes after examining you and studying your scans — non-prep is not universally suitable, and an honest clinic will tell you when a small preparation will give a better, more natural result. The materials behind all this, the Emax and Lisi pressed ceramics and the digital scanning that makes precise, thin veneers possible, are covered in our look at Picasso Dental's technology and equipment standards.

How does whitening fit into the makeover?

Whitening is usually the cheapest and least invasive way to improve a smile, and at Picasso it is offered both as a standalone treatment and as a planned step within a makeover. The options are:

• In-office laser whitening — 3,500,000 VND per jaw (roughly US$137 / A$208). A single-visit professional whitening of one arch.
• Zoom! full-mouth whitening — 6,000,000 VND (roughly US$235 / A$357). An in-office whitening of the full visible smile.
• Take-home whitening kit — 2,000,000 VND (roughly US$78 / A$119). Custom trays and gel to whiten gradually at home.

The sequence matters here. Veneers are made to a fixed shade and do not lighten with whitening gel the way natural enamel does, so if you want both, whitening is generally done first and the veneers are then matched to the new, brighter colour. For some patients, whitening alone lifts the smile enough that no veneers are needed at all, which is exactly the kind of conservative outcome a good cosmetic dentist will point you toward. For a deeper look at how professional and at-home whitening compare, including how long results last, read our guide to teeth whitening in Vietnam: professional versus home.

How do these combine into one coordinated trip?

This is where Picasso's structure works in a travelling patient's favour. Because it is a multi-city group with cosmetic and orthodontic dentists on staff, a makeover can be planned as a single coordinated sequence rather than a series of disconnected appointments. A typical flow starts with a consultation, digital scan and shade discussion, moves through whitening if it is part of the plan, and then proceeds to the veneers themselves.

Composite veneers and whitening can often be completed in just one or two visits. Porcelain veneers, by contrast, involve an initial preparation and impression appointment, a set of temporaries, and then a final fitting once the lab has crafted the ceramic, which is why makeover patients usually plan a stay of several days up to around two weeks. If a little alignment is needed first to position the teeth, that step is built in at the start. The whole choreography — what happens on which day, how long the lab work takes, when the final fit lands — is mapped out for you at consultation, and you can read how Picasso approaches multi-visit planning for overseas patients in our Picasso Dental Clinic overview for international patients. For the broader principles of staging treatments together efficiently, our guide on smile makeovers: combining procedures is a useful companion.

Who designs your smile, and what about warranties?

A makeover is as much an aesthetic judgement as a technical one, which is why the clinician matters. Picasso's cosmetic work is delivered by a team that includes dentists working across cosmetic and orthodontic dentistry, such as Dr. Rosie, so the people designing the shape, proportion and shade of your smile are also alert to how the teeth sit and bite together. That combination of cosmetic eye and orthodontic understanding is what separates a smile that merely looks white from one that looks natural and balanced for your face.

On warranties, Picasso is clear and honest: its porcelain veneers carry a seven-year warranty, and its composite veneers carry a six-month warranty. There is no lifetime warranty — no major ceramic system offers one, and you should be wary of any clinic that claims otherwise. The seven-year cover on porcelain is one of the practical reasons to weigh ceramic against composite: it costs more per tooth but is guaranteed far longer and holds its colour and edge better over years of use. As with any warranty, cover depends on attending reviews and caring for the work, so confirm exactly what is included as part of your written plan.

Is a Picasso smile makeover the right choice for you?

Picasso makes a strong, honest case for international cosmetic patients: open per-tooth pricing, premium pressed-ceramic materials such as Emax and Lisi, a genuinely conservative approach to tooth preparation, whitening options at every price point, cosmetic and orthodontic dentists who can plan a makeover end to end, and the convenience of a multi-city, English-speaking group that has served tens of thousands of patients. None of that is hype — it is simply what the price list and the team make possible, and it is why a smile makeover here can be both beautiful and far more affordable than the equivalent in the West.

What it is not is a decision to rush. The right makeover is the most conservative one that achieves your goal, and that is a judgement only a cosmetic dentist can make after seeing your teeth, your bite and your scans. The sensible next step is a consultation and a written plan that lists every veneer, every whitening step, the timeline and the warranty in black and white. It also helps to see what the team has already achieved, which is why browsing the before-and-after cases at Picasso Dental is a useful reality check before you commit. You can explore Picasso's own pages at picassodental.vn for further detail, and then bring your questions to the clinic so the plan is built around your smile, not a template.

Frequently asked questions

How much do veneers cost at Picasso Dental Clinic?

Picasso Dental prices veneers per tooth, in Vietnamese dong, so you can build up the cost of a smile a unit at a time. A composite (direct, chairside) veneer is 3,000,000 VND (roughly US$118 / A$179). In porcelain, an Emax Press veneer is 9,000,000 VND (roughly US$353 / A$536), an Emax Press Plus veneer is 10,000,000 VND (roughly US$392 / A$595), a non-prep Emax veneer is 11,000,000 VND (roughly US$431 / A$655), and a Lisi veneer is 12,000,000 VND (roughly US$471 / A$714). A full upper smile-makeover commonly involves the six to ten teeth that show when you smile, so multiply the per-tooth figure by the number of veneers in your plan. These are real list prices, but the conversions are approximate and exchange rates fluctuate, so always confirm the current figure in writing after an examination.

What is the difference between composite and porcelain veneers at Picasso?

At Picasso the choice is between a composite veneer at 3,000,000 VND per tooth and porcelain veneers from 9,000,000 VND per tooth. A composite veneer is sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single visit from tooth-coloured resin; it is the most affordable option and is reversible or repairable, but it carries a six-month warranty and resin is more prone to staining and chipping over time. Porcelain veneers, made from pressed ceramics such as Emax, Emax Press Plus or Lisi, are crafted in the lab and bonded on; they resist staining better, look more lifelike, and carry a seven-year warranty at Picasso. Composite suits a budget-conscious refresh or a single chipped tooth; porcelain suits a durable, long-term smile makeover. Picasso's cosmetic dentists can talk you through which fits your teeth, your timeline and your budget.

Does Picasso offer minimally invasive or non-prep veneers?

Yes. Picasso's Emax Press veneers are designed around a minimal tooth reduction of just 0.3 to 0.5 millimetres, which is far gentler than the heavy grinding associated with older or aggressive veneer techniques. For suitable cases, Picasso also offers non-prep Emax veneers at 11,000,000 VND per tooth, where little or no enamel is removed at all and the ceramic is bonded over the existing tooth surface. Whether a non-prep approach works depends on the position, shape and alignment of your teeth, so it is something a cosmetic dentist confirms after examining you and reviewing your scans. The principle, though, is to preserve as much of your natural tooth as the result allows.

How does teeth whitening fit into a smile makeover at Picasso?

Whitening is often the simplest and cheapest first step, and Picasso offers it three ways. In-office laser whitening is 3,500,000 VND per jaw (roughly US$137 / A$208), a full-mouth Zoom! treatment is 6,000,000 VND (roughly US$235 / A$357), and a take-home kit is 2,000,000 VND (roughly US$78 / A$119). For some patients, whitening alone brightens the smile enough that veneers are not needed. For others, whitening is done first so that any veneers can be matched to a lighter, brighter shade. Because veneers do not change colour the way natural teeth do, the order matters, and your dentist will sequence whitening and veneers so the final result is even.

Can I get a whole smile makeover at Picasso in one trip?

Often, yes. A smile makeover at Picasso typically combines whitening, veneers and sometimes short alignment or gum-contouring steps into a single coordinated plan. Whitening and composite veneers can frequently be completed in one or two visits, while porcelain veneers need an initial preparation and impression appointment followed by a fitting once the lab work is ready, which is why makeover patients usually plan a stay of several days to two weeks. Picasso is a multi-city group with cosmetic and orthodontic dentists on the team, so the planning, the digital scan, the temporaries and the final fit can be sequenced for a travelling patient. The exact timeline depends on how many teeth are involved and whether any alignment is needed first, so it should be mapped out for you at consultation.

What warranty do Picasso veneers come with?

Picasso lists a seven-year warranty on its porcelain veneers, which covers Emax Press, Emax Press Plus, non-prep Emax and Lisi units, and a six-month warranty on composite veneers. There is no lifetime warranty, on veneers or anything else at Picasso, and you should be cautious of any clinic that promises one, because no major ceramic system is backed that way. The warranty is one practical reason to weigh porcelain against composite: porcelain costs more per tooth but is guaranteed far longer and resists wear and staining better. As with any warranty, the cover depends on attending reviews and looking after the work, so ask exactly what is and is not included as part of your written treatment plan.
