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 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
City benchmarks: /nz/auckland/ · /nz/wellington/.
Timeline for Kiwi travellers
- Week −4 to −2 — photos, OPG, video consult, NZD plan
- Day 1–3 — exam, scans, prep, temporaries
- Mid trip — lab try-in, adjustments
- Final days — bond, bite check, hygiene coaching
- Home — /aftercare/ and warranty

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
We will tell you if a makeover is premature — that honesty is part of why Kiwis trust us post–1News coverage.
