What matters clinically
Standard implant treatment often needs two phases: implant placement, then a crown after healing. Ask for the implant brand, records, and follow-up plan before booking flights.
For dental implants, 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
Warranty: 15 yrs-lifetime at top clinics. Risk: 2 trips usually required (3-6 month healing gap); implant failure; infection; poorly fitted crowns; NZ dentists may charge premium for corrective work; no NZ insurance coverage for overseas treatment; legal recourse across borders is complex.
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.

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 India if you already have a stronger clinic-specific plan there or the trip fits your personal travel needs better.
