Treatment timeline - how long UK patients need in Vietnam
Sample day-by-day timelines for UK patients getting veneers, implants, All-on-4 or smile makeovers at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam.
Most UK veneer and smile makeover patients should plan 10-14 days in Vietnam, including arrival recovery, consultation, preparation, temporaries, lab work, final bonding and a buffer before the return flight. Implant timelines depend on whether the case is immediate-load or staged.
Veneers or smile makeover
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| 0 | Arrive and rest |
| 1 | Consultation, photos, scans and smile design |
| 2-3 | Preparation and temporaries where needed |
| 4-7 | Lab fabrication, try-in and adjustments |
| 8-10 | Final bonding and bite check |
| 11-14 | Buffer, review and flight home |
Single implants
| Stage | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| Trip 1 | 3-5 days for placement, CBCT and review |
| Healing | Often 3-6 months depending on case |
| Trip 2 | 5-7 days for abutment, crown and review |
All-on-4 or All-on-6
Full-arch cases are planned individually. A first trip of 10-14 days is common where provisional fixed teeth are fitted, with later review or final prosthetic stages depending on the plan.
UK annual leave planning
A 10-14 day trip usually means two working weeks once weekends, long-haul flights and jet lag are included. Build the treatment around recovery, not the minimum theoretical appointment count.
