Looking for a dentist in bangkok

[lv_usa]

Bangkok Smile.  Started using the clinic about 6 years ago. Not the cheapest, but, in my opinion the best. Read the bios of the dentists.

Found out I need some dental work, and it's insanely expensive without dental insurance here in America. 3 fillings and a crown would cost around USD $3,000. What might I expect to pay in Bangkok and what current places would people recommend? Not sure about the crown, never had one before. But evidently they need to image the tooth, then send out to have the crown made. Is it the same process in BKK or can these things be done Same Day?

I went to Skytrain Dental at Phra Khanong although they have multiple locations. I just did a cleaning and 1 filling but the prices to me were reasonable. You can check the prices on their website but I think it varies on how complex the job is. I did try to get an appointment at Bangkok Smile but I remember they were pretty booked up so I ended up going with Skytrain which was cheaper.

Mahidol Faculty of Dentistry is a very good facility.

How would those who visited Bangkok Smile and Asavanant Dental compare them? Are they about similar pricing, skills, and availability of services?

I went to BIDH for extraction of 3 wisdom teeth and to start Invisalign. 
Service, staff and skills are amazing compared to what you get in Europe for at least three times the price. They have a great track record and the facility is very upscale. It also helps that all of the admin/nurse staff is female and pretty. 🤣

I got full anesthesia and woke up after a 3 hour operation as some of the teeth were fused with the bone and felt ok.

Some pain afterwards as expected but manageable.

I would go to the Asavanant Dental Clinic on the corner of Thonglor and Sukhimvit  www.asavanant.com/

It is across the street from the Thonglor BTS station.  A few years ago, I cracked a first molar in half below the gum line, and cracked the 2nd molar as well during the Songkran holiday.  So, the above-mentioned clinic was closed for 4 days.  I was in pain so I went to the Bumrungrad Clinic.  The dentist who met me there, examined me an walked me through what treatment might be needed (possible root canal, gum and bone surgery if I wanted to save the first molar and do an inlay or cap, the long prep for the cap on the second molar). 

 

I asked her if I should do it starting now at Bumrungrad, or wait for my regular dentist.  She asked who my dentist was, and I mentioned the Asavanant Clinic, she looked around and said, do it at Asavanant, they are more skilled, have a larger staff and better facilities, and they had their own lab, so I wouldn't have to go through temporary caps and wait a few weeks for the permenants.  After preparation, usimg Cerec methodology and equipment, they would measure the required cap, generate NC files to their lab downstairs and cut the cap or inlay, and I would have it in my mouth 20 minutes late, permanently, no return visit.

 

She also mentioned that she moonlighted there 2 days a week and that was how she could attest to their quality.  Everything she said basically came to fruition except I did not need the root canal.  Also, they helped me write up a letter describing the dental emergency so that I could submit it to my dental insurance back in USA (they covered almost the entire amount) which was close to $1,000 (this included 2 sessions of gum and bone surgery and all the restoration work).  I showed the work to my dentist at home and he said between himself and associated apecialists it would have run me about $5,000 back in USA, with the insurance picking up a much lesser share.  He was also jealous of the Cerec system they had as he said he would love to have one but they cost $500,000, and only the University (huge famous dental school) had one.

 

Their clinic has a small store front, but as soon as you go up the elevator it spreads out to several large floors of patient and operating rooms.  They also use it as a teaching dental hospital with large observation rooms--you will be impressed at the size and the equipment.  Most of their staff have dental degrees from US or English universities, and they have a variety of specialists onsite 7 days a week.  You can look at their website and they go through their procedures, including implants (what you are interested in).  They all speak English  They used to have their pricing on the website as well but I haven't checked lately.  You can pay via credit card as well.  They take appointments and fit in walk-ins as best they can. 

May I ask how much was the total fees for your crown, with core buildup etc.? I've had several root canal done and will need crowns made and hoping to visit Asavanat since they can have the crown made in their own lab while others require to wait several weeks.

I go to Bangkok Smile, the one in the Nana area at the end of Soi 5. After I get my teeth cleaned, I get my dick cleaned on Soi 7/1.
 

It's all about managing my time.
