Dentists in Thailand – dental clinics
Dentistry is big business in Thailand, and a perfect set of teeth is essential for that famous Thai smile. Dentists are now targeting visitors with attractive prices on teeth whitening, crowns and simple check ups. Some tourists even bring their kids along to have them fitted with trendy multi-coloured braces.
In busy tourist centres such as Chiang Mai and Phuket there are numerous family friendly dental clinics advertising themselves. Most are professional, modern centres with dentists trained abroad, so they do speak English. Their biggest selling point is the prices, which are often a quarter of what you usually pay back home. For example a simple clean and polish costs about US$20, with each filling or extraction an additional $20. So it makes sense to set aside a morning of your holiday for a check up.
Those in need of more complex dental work, such as a dentures overhaul find that it’s worthwhile visiting dentists in Thailand since the savings more than covers the cost of the flight and expense of the holiday while here. Besides Thailand offers a wonderful and enchanting environment to be in while sitting around in between sessions or waiting for the laboratories to make you ‘false teeth’.
Teeth whitening in Thailand
Teeth whitening in Thailand is a simple and effective procedure where you can be in and out of the dental clinic in less than an hour with a winning smile. Laser whitening treatment is fast and effective, costing about $400 for the treatment but there are now newer and cheaper teeth whitening options in Thailand, such as UV bleaching. There’s also the gel method where you do-it-yourself at home after a gum-guard has been made, costing as little as $150. These are all advertised in local tourist magazines and are especially prevalent in Chiang Mai.
Dental crowns in Thailand
Having dental crowns in Thailand rather than at home will save you lots of money, particularly if you are having several teeth done. Choose from top dentists in Bangkok, Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, or Chiang Mai. Laboratories that construct the crowns from porcelain and other modern materials are located in these centres so you can have them fitted within a few days of your initial visit. A new set of perfect incisors costs no more than $500, a quarter of the price in the US.
