Adjusting the plan to your case
10-veneer smile makeover: Add 2 to 3 days for the larger lab fabrication window. Becomes a 9 to 10 day trip.
Single implant Trip 1: Compresses to 4 days because the placement is the main event and the rest of the trip is recovery. Saves on hotel and meals.
Multi-tooth crown work: Sits within this 7-day frame comfortably. The lab fabrication runs in parallel.
If adding Siem Reap and Angkor Wat: Extend by 4 days. Fly PNH to REP on Day 7 morning instead of going home, do the Angkor temple visit on Days 8 to 10, fly home from REP on Day 11.
Your coordinator finalises the actual day-by-day with you in writing once the case is confirmed. The above is a representative shape, not a fixed protocol.
