Australian follow-up pathway
After returning to Australia:
- Within 2 weeks — schedule a review with your AHPRA-registered dentist or hygienist; bring your Picasso treatment summary and materials sheet
- 6 weeks post-surgery — implant patients: Australian dentist review to assess healing
- 6 months post-crown loading — first implant hygiene visit with a trained hygienist
- Annually — hygiene visit, bite check, X-ray for implant patients
Tell your Australian dentist: “I had treatment at Picasso Dental Clinic in Vietnam — here are the treatment records and implant passport.” This gives your dentist the information they need to provide maintenance confidently.

Frequently asked questions
What aftercare do I need in Australia after Picasso treatment?
Attend a hygiene visit with your AHPRA-registered dentist within 4–6 weeks, have a bite check, wear your night guard if prescribed, and contact Picasso immediately if you notice any pain, looseness, chipping, or bite changes.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15+ years with proper care. See /aftercare/how-long-do-veneers-last/ for a full breakdown of lifespan by material and care routine.
What if a veneer chips after I return to Australia?
Take photos, contact your Picasso coordinator with a description of the issue, and read /aftercare/chipped-or-loose-veneer/ for immediate steps. Do not have the chip repaired without contacting Picasso first, as this can affect your warranty.
