Teeth whitening is the entry-level aesthetic treatment — and the anchor of the Picasso Glow / #PaintItWhite campaign. For New Zealand patients it is rarely a standalone tourism product; it is the polish on a bigger plan.

Where whitening fits

ScenarioRole
Smile makeoverLift natural teeth before veneer shade choice
Pre-veneersMatch remaining natural dentition
MaintenanceTop-up after years — local NZ hygienist possible

NZ comparison

NZ in-chair whitening often runs NZD 400–900+ per session; take-home kits less. Vietnam pricing is lower — see /pricing/ — but airfare dominates if whitening is all you book.

Sensitivity honesty

Expect temporary cold sensitivity — disclose to your NZ dentist if you have recession or cracks.

Not a fix for

  • Grey teeth from tetracycline staining (veneers may be needed)
  • Dark single dead teeth (internal bleaching or crown)
  • Crowns and veneers themselves (they do not whiten further)
