How Many Days Do You Need in Hanoi for Dental Treatment? (2026)

Treatment timeline table (2026)

Trip lengths from Picasso's international patients page, with its published prices ("Updated July 2026", read 26 Oct 2026). Prices are indicative; only a written quote for your case applies.

For fillings, scaling, root canals, dentures or a full mouth plan, Picasso does not publish a trip length. Send your X-rays ahead and ask for a schedule.

Whitening

In-office whitening is one of the simplest treatments. The clinic gives 3 to 5 days for a whitening or veneer trip, which leaves room for an examination first and a check afterwards.

A typical whitening visit

• Examination; a scale and polish (cạo vôi răng) first if the dentist advises it
• Whitening session in the chair
• Avoid strongly coloured food and drink for as long as the dentist advises
• A check if you have sensitivity

Price: Picasso lists Zoom! WhiteSpeed in-office whitening, full mouth, at 6,000,000 VND (about US$230), and a take-home kit at 2,000,000 VND (about US$77).

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers involve preparing the teeth, lab work, and a fitting appointment. Picasso gives 3 to 5 days for a veneer trip. The Hanoi veneers guide covers materials; here is the time side.

A typical veneer visit

• Consultation, shade selection and smile design
• Tooth preparation and a digital scan; temporaries if needed
• Lab days, free for gentle sightseeing
• Try-in, adjustments and bonding

Picasso lists Emax Press veneers at 9,000,000 VND (about US$350) per tooth, up to Lisi at 12,000,000 VND, with a 7-year warranty on porcelain veneers.

Zirconia crowns

A zirconia crown is a common treatment for visitors replacing old crowns. Picasso gives 5 to 7 days for crowns and bridges and lists a zirconia crown at 7,000,000 VND (about US$270) with a 5-year warranty.

A typical crown visit

• Examination, X-ray and shade matching
• Tooth preparation, digital scan, temporary crown
• Lab days, free for sightseeing
• Try-in, bite check and fitting

From Australia, the ADA 2022 fee survey, reported by Choice, put the average veneered crown at A$1,678; a Picasso crown, about A$385 to A$660, is between about a quarter and two-fifths of that. From elsewhere, compare with a written quote from your own dentist.

Single implant: two-visit timeline

For the clinical side, read the Hanoi dental implants guide. Here is the travel side.

Visit 1: implant placement (3 to 5 days, clinic)

• Examination and CBCT 3D scan; Picasso says it scans before every implant
• Implant surgery
• A check before you fly home

Between visits: the bone heals around the implant for 3 to 6 months while you are at home (clinic).

Visit 2: crown fitting (2 to 3 days, clinic)

• Check of the implant, scan for the crown
• Crown fitting and bite adjustment

Implant brands Picasso lists: Nobel Biocare, Straumann and Neodent. A complete implant with abutment and zirconia crown is 30,000,000 VND (Neodent), 40,000,000 VND (Nobel Biocare or Straumann) or 45,000,000 VND (Straumann BLX). See our Straumann implants in Hanoi guide for more on that brand.

All-on-4: two-visit timeline

All-on-4 needs the most planning. See the All-on-4 Hanoi guide for costs. Older patients may want extra days; see our Hanoi seniors dental guide.

Visit 1: surgery and provisional bridge (5 to 7 days, clinic)

• Examination, CBCT scan and treatment plan
• Surgery: removal of failing teeth if needed and implant placement
• A provisional fixed bridge on surgery day or the next (clinic)
• Follow-up checks and adjustments before you fly

Picasso's contact page sends All-on-4 cases with sedation to its Vinmec branch in Da Nang; nothing it publishes says either Hanoi branch sedates.

Visit 2: final bridge (3 to 5 days, around six months after surgery, clinic)

• Check of the implants, scans for the final bridge
• Try-in, bite check and fitting

Making the most of your time in Hanoi

Send your X-rays before you fly

Send X-rays, photos and any CT scan (as DICOM files) in advance. Picasso offers video consultations (Google Meet or Zoom, 20 to 30 minutes) for patients planning a trip, so your first day can move faster.

Use lab days for gentle outings

Days without appointments suit museums, the lakes and short trips. Keep longer excursions for when your dentist says you are fit. See the Hanoi holiday and dental itinerary guide.

Book a flexible return flight

Check change rules before you buy. Promotional fares are often the least flexible.

Ask for morning appointments

Both Picasso branches open at 8:30 every day. A morning slot leaves the afternoon free.

What if treatment takes longer than expected?

Rule of thumb: add at least one spare day. Picasso says rescheduling is free up to 48 hours ahead, with 5 days' notice for implant or All-on-4 cases with lab work.

The clinics in Hanoi

SmileJet lists two Hanoi clinics, both branches of Picasso Dental Clinic (Nha khoa Picasso). Both are featured partners on SmileJet: a commercial listing relationship, not a clinical endorsement. They share one price list and are open every day from 8:30 to 18:00. For more, see our guide to dental clinics in Hanoi for international patients.

Frequently asked questions

Can I fit my treatment into fewer days?

Ask the clinic before you book. Lab work for crowns and veneers takes time, and implants need months of healing between visits.

What if my veneers or crowns are not ready before my flight?

Leave a spare day and book a changeable flight. Ask the clinic in advance what happens if lab work is late.

Do I need two trips for implants?

Usually. Picasso gives 3 to 5 days, then 2 to 3 days, 3 to 6 months apart, for a single implant. See the Hanoi implants guide.

When is a good time of year to visit?

Many visitors prefer the cooler, drier months. Check public holidays such as Tết when you book.

Can I work remotely during my trip?

Many people do on days without appointments. Plan a quiet day after surgery. See the Hanoi holiday and dental itinerary guide.
