Smile makeover
Smile makeover - full mouth aesthetic for New Zealand patients
Complete smile makeovers at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam - veneers, whitening, gums, and digital planning with NZD quotes for Kiwi patients.
A full smile makeover at Picasso Dental Clinic combines veneers, whitening, and gum contouring where needed - New Zealand patients typically complete treatment in one 10–14 day Vietnam trip with itemised NZD pricing and the Portrait Sitting veneer protocol.
A smile makeover is the second hero on dentalholiday.nz after veneers. It is the package Kiwi patients want when they are past “should I go overseas?” and into “design my new smile.”
What Picasso plans
| Component | When used |
|---|---|
| Porcelain veneers | Colour, shape, symmetry |
| Teeth whitening | Picasso Glow / baseline shade |
| Gum contouring | Uneven gum lines |
| Crowns | Heavily broken back teeth |
| Dental implants | Missing teeth |
| Invisalign | Mild crowding before veneers |
Every item appears on your written NZD quote - see /pricing/.
Portrait Sitting for makeovers
Full makeovers are where over-prepared “tourism teeth” horror stories come from. Portrait Sitting keeps:
- Shade chosen with you present
- Enamel removal minimised
- Temporaries for a “test drive” smile
- Named ceramist accountability

New Zealand cost context
Private smile makeovers in Auckland or Wellington commonly land NZD 25,000–50,000+ depending on tooth count and lab tier. Vietnam savings are meaningful when:
- You treat many teeth
- You can take 10–14 days away
- You want published prices upfront

Timeline for Kiwi travellers
- Week −4 to −2 - photos, OPG, video consult, NZD plan

Who should wait or stay in NZ
- Active periodontal disease
- Uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking (higher failure risk)
- TMJ / major bite surgery needs (may need orthodontics first)
- Expectation of “Hollywood white” without facial harmony
