Full-mouth reconstruction needs a staged written plan. Do not book non-refundable flights until records, bite planning, and treatment sequencing are reviewed.
When the trip makes sense
The trip usually makes the most sense when the treatment value is large enough to absorb flights, accommodation, and time away from work. For full mouth reconstruction, that means comparing the full treatment plan, not just a single headline unit price.
Before committing, ask for:
- The exact material or implant brand.
- Whether scans, temporaries, abutments, crowns, grafting, retainers, or night guards are included.
- How many appointments are needed in Vietnam.
- Whether a second trip is likely.
- What documentation you can take back to your New Zealand dentist.
