What matters clinically
Whitening is best treated as an add-on to a larger trip. It is not normally worth flying for by itself.
For teeth whitening, 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
No warranty on whitening (results vary). Sensitivity common for 24-48 hours. Avoid staining foods for 2 weeks. Results last 1-3 years.
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.
