Grand Dent dental clinic

[ilostmypassword]

I was a patient at one of the better dental clinics in Chiang Mai when a post for a damaged tooth broke. My dentist told me that another crown couldn't be installed and that I would have to get an implant: cost 89000 baht. That was a big jump over what they had charged before so I told him that I would be looking at other clinics. He warned me that cheaper places exist but they might be using inferior implants. A friend of mine recommended Grand Dent and Dr. Thongnard, who, according to a friend of mine, is apparently very eminent in the transplant field. He told me that a transplant would cost 60,000 and he would be using Straumann implants. Supposedly they're the best but whether or not that's the case as a Swiss company they aren't competing on price. Then he took a look at the tooth and judged that it could be saved and did just that. Cost of the procedure: 18000 baht. So depending on how you compute it I saved either 61000 baht or 42,000 baht. And not just that: the crowns he uses are the most advanced kind: no metal or porcelain. Either something called emax or zirconium depending on the location of the crown.

Dr. Thongnard's English is excellent and he's happy to explain exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. In fact, I didn't even have to ask him; he volunteered the information.
