What matters clinically
Full-mouth reconstruction needs a staged written plan. Do not book non-refundable flights until records, bite planning, and treatment sequencing are reviewed.
For full mouth reconstruction, 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: Mixed coverage - implants 10-25 years, crowns 3-5 years, veneers 3-5 years, root canals often none. RISK: With multiple procedures, probability of at least one complication rises significantly. If bite is not properly adjusted, TMJ issues may develop requiring NZ specialist care (expensive). Full mouth cases require highly experienced prosthodontist - verify credentials carefully. Warranty management becomes complex with multiple procedures on different timelines.
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.
