What changes after the CBCT

The most common quote adjustment occurs when the CBCT shows:

  • Insufficient bone volume — bone graft or sinus lift adds AUD 441–AUD 2,483
  • Existing infection — antibiotics and delay before surgery
  • Tooth count change — more extractions than expected

This is not unique to Vietnam — the same adjustments occur in Australian clinics after CBCT. The difference is that Picasso itemises these clearly in the written plan rather than bundling them into a vague “implant package.”

Does private health insurance cover All-on-4 in Australia?
