Dental checkup cleaning

Dental check-up and cleaning at Picasso Dental Clinic — AUD prices

Professional dental check-ups and cleaning at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam — AUD prices, when bundled hygiene makes sense for Australian visitors, and honest framing of what a check-up achieves.

A dental check-up at Picasso Dental Clinic costs AUD 12 and a professional scale and polish costs AUD 18–33 depending on tartar load — but these are almost never worth a standalone flight from Australia. They deliver the most value combined with implants, veneers, crowns, or other treatment on the same visit.

A dental check-up at Picasso Dental Clinic costs AUD 12. A professional scale and polish costs AUD 18–33. These are the foundation of every treatment trip, not the destination. For Australian patients, a standalone flight from Sydney or Melbourne for a check-up and clean is not cost-effective. The check-up makes sense as the first appointment in a larger treatment visit.

Australian comparison: private hygienist visits cost AUD 150–300. The Picasso price per session is lower, but only matters once you are already in Vietnam for other treatment.

What a Picasso check-up covers

Clinical examination:

  1. Soft tissue review — lips, cheeks, tongue, floor of mouth, throat
  2. Gum assessment — pocket depth measured where indicated; bleeding on probing recorded
  3. Tooth-by-tooth examination — decay, fractures, worn surfaces, existing restorations
  4. Occlusal assessment — bite, jaw movement, signs of bruxism
  5. Existing crown or veneer review — fit, margins, shade, signs of failure

Imaging (if not provided in advance):

  1. OPG panoramic X-ray for surgical or implant planning
  2. Periapical X-rays for specific teeth with suspected problems
  3. CBCT where bone volume assessment is needed for implants

Hygiene:

  1. Ultrasonic scaling — removes calculus and hard deposit
  2. Polishing — removes surface stain
  3. Oral hygiene instruction personalised to your technique

When the check-up changes the plan

Patients arrive with a plan based on their own assessment. The clinical examination sometimes finds:

FindingImplication for treatment
Active periodontal disease (deep pockets, bone loss)Gum treatment needed before veneers or implants
Untreated decay on a tooth planned for a veneerRoot canal and crown may be more appropriate
Insufficient bone volume on CBCTBone graft or alternative implant design added
Signs of bruxismNight guard prescribed; implant case discussed carefully

These findings are communicated before treatment starts. The plan is adjusted with your agreement — you are not presented with new charges after surgery begins.

When a check-up is valuable on a treatment trip

Visit contextValue of adding check-up
First visit before any treatment beginsEssential — baseline clinical record
Before veneer preparationHigh — confirms gum health and shade stability
Implant workup weekHigh — CBCT plus gum assessment confirms site readiness
Standalone from Australia, nothing else plannedLow — flight cost makes it uneconomical

Why your ongoing recall should be with an Australian dentist

Picasso is a treatment-trip clinic. Routine six-month recall requires proximity. An AHPRA-registered dentist is the right relationship for ongoing recall, monitoring, and urgent assessment. Share your Picasso records every time you return to Australia so your local dentist can maintain your treatment effectively.
