Transparent AUD price list - Picasso Dental Clinic

Prices are correct as at May 2026 and listed in AUD for Australian patient planning.

This page exists because dental tourism has a pricing problem. Too many patients see a low package price, book flights, then discover that scans, temporaries, grafting, material upgrades, extra teeth, or surgical complexity were not included.

Picasso’s approach is different. The clinic publishes the building blocks in Australian dollars so patients can compare treatment before they travel.

These are not package promises. They are itemised clinical price lines. Your final written quote may include one line or many lines, depending on what your photos, OPG, CBCT scan, and in-person examination show.

How to read this price list

Start with the treatment you are considering, then look for the items that commonly sit around it.

For example, a veneer case may include consultation, OPG, wax-up or mock-up, temporary work, and 8 to 16 veneer units. An implant case may include the implant combo, CBCT scan, bone grafting, sinus augmentation, blood tests, temporary restoration, or a staged second trip. An All-on-4 case may include the implant arch, prosthetic bridge choice, extractions, blood tests, and a review period before flying home.

The price per item is transparent. The total plan still needs clinical review.

Examination and imaging

The diagnostic prices matter because they make proper planning accessible. For implants, All-on-4, All-on-6, and complex full-mouth cases, CBCT planning is not an optional luxury. It is how the dentist assesses bone height, bone width, sinus position, and nerve position before surgery.

Veneers, inlays and onlays

For a simple 10-tooth Emax Press veneer plan, the veneer units alone total AUD 5,100 before flights and accommodation. Australian private dentists typically quote AUD 15,000–25,000 for the same tooth count. The saving is why veneers are one of the most common treatments for Australians travelling to Vietnam.

The cheaper line is not always the right line. Composite veneers cost less and preserve more tooth in many small cases, but they stain and wear faster. Porcelain costs more upfront, but is usually the better long-term choice for a full smile makeover.

Read the full veneers guide before choosing a material.

Crowns and bridges, per unit

Crowns and bridge units are priced per tooth or per bridge unit. A three-unit bridge uses three units. Four crowns use four units. If an old crown needs removal, re-cementing, core build-up, or a post, those lines may also appear in the quote.

Crowns are not interchangeable with veneers. A crown covers the whole tooth and usually requires more preparation. It may be the right treatment for a heavily filled, cracked, or root-canal treated tooth. It should not be sold as a veneer shortcut.

Dental implant combo packages

Fixture, abutment and crown are included in these combo prices.

The implant brand should be stated in your written plan. Osstem is a common standard option. Nobel Biocare and Straumann are premium systems widely used in Australian clinics. Straumann BLX may be considered for certain immediate-loading protocols, depending on bone and case design.

For comparison, a single implant combo at an Australian private dental clinic typically costs AUD 4,500–7,000+.

Do not compare implant quotes unless you know whether the fixture, abutment, and crown are included. A cheap fixture-only quote can look better than it is.

Implant components

These component lines are useful when a case is not a simple combo. They may apply to staged work, custom abutments, replacement crowns, or complex rehabilitation.

Full-arch implant treatment

For comparison, All-on-4 at an Australian private dental clinic typically costs AUD 25,000–45,000 per arch. Full-arch treatment at Picasso needs careful planning. Ask whether the quote includes extractions, provisional teeth, final bridge, review appointments, and any lab upgrades. Also ask how long you need to remain in Vietnam after surgery before flying home.

Read All-on-4 and All-on-6 before comparing price alone.

Bone grafting and sinus augmentation

This is where implant quotes often change. A patient with enough bone may not need grafting. Another patient may need grafting before an implant can be safely placed. That decision should be explained from X-ray or CBCT evidence, not added as a surprise after you arrive.

Restorative, root canal and surgery

These procedures are usually not the main reason to fly from Australia. They are often part of a larger plan. A single filling or one simple root canal will rarely justify flights.

Whitening and hygiene

Whitening is often a useful add-on to veneer, crown, or implant planning. It is rarely worth a dedicated dental holiday on its own.

Orthodontics and Invisalign

Picasso is a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider.

For Australian patients, Invisalign needs honest planning. Shorter packages may work well if you can complete the setup and remote monitoring is suitable. Comprehensive multi-year cases may be more practical with a local orthodontic provider unless you return to Vietnam regularly.

Dentures

Dentures often need adjustment after gums heal. If extractions are involved, ask how relines, temporary dentures, and follow-up timing are handled before you travel.

Example quote builds

These examples are not quotes. They show how line items combine.

The honest break-even point for dental tourism is usually around AUD 3,400–4,250 of treatment. Below that, flights and time away can erase the saving. Flights from Sydney or Melbourne to Vietnam are typically AUD 600–1,200 return, depending on season and advance booking.

What your written quote includes

A written Picasso quote should make the plan understandable before you book flights.

It should include:

• Every tooth or unit line.
• Implant brand tier where implants are involved.
• Any grafting, scans, temporaries, blood tests, or prosthetic add-ons.
• Warranty term where the material has a published warranty.
• Estimated treatment timeline.
• Exclusions, such as flights, hotels, insurance, and unrelated medical costs.

If a line can change after an in-person exam, the quote should say why.

What is not included

The price list does not include:

• Flights.
• Hotels.
• Meals.
• Travel insurance.
• Visa costs where applicable.
• Companion travel.
• Lost wages or annual leave.
• Treatment by an Australian dentist before or after travel.
• Unrelated medical care.
• Private health fund gap amounts.

This is why the cost guide compares treatment plus travel, not clinic fees alone.

Before you rely on any price

Send six phone photos and an OPG if you have one. Picasso will return a written AUD plan that shows the actual treatment lines expected for your case.

You can then compare the clinic cost, travel cost, time away, warranty, and follow-up requirements before booking flights.
