What matters clinically
Crowns make travel sense when several teeth need treatment. A single crown rarely justifies international travel unless it is part of a larger plan.
For crowns, compare the written plan more carefully than the headline price. The plan should show material or implant brand, number of visits, temporary work, final restoration, warranty documents, and what happens if adjustment is needed after returning to New Zealand.
Country-specific notes
Bali data is available in the Research folder, but patients should still request a current clinic-specific quote before travel.
Vietnam-specific notes
Picasso prices are in NZD and should be checked against kb/prices.md. The quote should also confirm scans, temporaries, material selection, treatment sequence, and aftercare documents.

| Number of trips | Changes the real cost once flights and leave are included. |
| Temporary and final restorations | Prevents a low first-stage price hiding a later prosthetic fee. |
| Records supplied before return | Helps your NZ dentist understand what was placed overseas. |
| Written warranty limits | Shows whether repairs require travel back to the treating clinic. |
Practical decision
Choose Vietnam if the Picasso plan is clinically clear, the total cost after flights is lower, and the route fits your recovery window. Choose Bali if you already have a stronger clinic-specific plan there or the trip fits your personal travel needs better.
