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: 1-2 years typical; some clinics offer 5-10 years on Straumann/Nobel fixture. VOID if treated elsewhere. Patient bears all travel costs for warranty claims. Brand widely recognized in NZ, reducing aftercare risk.
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.
