SamSanuk Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I need a thorough dental checkup and live in Nimmenhaimen area. Does anyone here use Grace Dental and can recommend a dentist they really like? If not at Grace, please feel free to recommend at other clinics. Money is not an issue if the professionalism and work is top notch. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexilis Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Go with Grace. They are excellent. I have had a lot of complicated work done there over a ten year period. Much better than any dentists that I ever had in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexilis Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 They have about 10 or 12 dentists there. They are all specialists. Different dentists for root canals, orthodontics, implants, cleaning and cosmetics, etc. When you first come in in you will see Dr. Korakot (she runs the place). She will evaluate what your issues are and make appointments with the appropriate specialist. Like I said I have had a lot of complicated work done there and have been treated by a number of the specialist dentists. They have all been excellent. It is pricey compared to some places but I think it is worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I used Grace for 10 years or so but I left for a couple of reasons Firstly I had a quote for Implants and after I checked around I found their prices to be at least 20% more, and when talking 220,000 baht ,that's a lot. I changed to Dr Thonguard at Grandent Dental Practice where I had the same work done for 150,000 baht. 6 years later I am more than happy with the results and the 70,000 baht saving. Secondly, I was not impressed that on more than one occasion I was made to wait upwards of an hour for my appointment. It wasn't that the dentist was busy, she was not on the premises, and that wrankled with me considering their prices and not a word of apology. That's bad service IMHO. Good luck with your choice.

puck2 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Chiang Mai has a lot of excellent dentists. Dr. Korakot and Dr. Chanika of the Grace Dental clinic are 2 of them (my own experience). But some years ago I stopped going there. The reason: a woman with a very deep voice at the reception ( was new there). As usual, I asked by e-mail for an appointment, because I live 4 hours away of Chiang Mai. I had to repeat it 3 times, never received an answer. Then I called them. I reported this ugly behaviour during the next treatment to Dr, Korakot, the boss. Nothing happened. The same behavior again by this "woman". Now I recognized it was intentional. The years before it had never happened this way. I reported it to Dr. Korakot again, but no excuse. This was the reason I canceled the next appointment and never returned to Grace. As I said before, Chiang Mai is famous for having a lot of excellent dentists. That was proven when I changed to Dentalworld (on the SouthWest corner of the moat). Beside good dentists the ladies at the rexception are reliable/okay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My story is almost identical to yours. I was a happy Grace customer for many, many years, but after two verbal run-ins with the loud and rude katoey on reception about a year ago I quit and am now a happy patient at Dental World. Just don't need the aggravation. I am NOT anti katoeys per se, just this individual character. Thinking about it now, maybe I should have had a word with Dr Korakot about it. To the OP, I still would recommend the Grace dentists. Unfortunately you may have to deal with the annoying gatekeeper on reception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Dental World last year for cleaning and a filling+fluoride=2200 Would return..no issues I wrote a review on google maps as have many others to compare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck2 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 @Antonymous You made this ugly eperience at the Grace reception about one year ago. Interesting, that "she" is still there, because I have had this bad experience with her a lot of years ago. Isn't a good advertising for Grace. Normaly she should have been fired. But I guess she must be connected to somebody in this clinic. It's up to the boss/es, now not my problem anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) I use Grace for my dental care…. silly to switch services b/c of a troubled lady boy office manager…he is not providing the care…. I avoid him and interact with the other receptionist to pay/schedule appointments Edited September 4, 2021 by cardinalblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBKK Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Let's be honest Kathoeys are often aggressive, I use Ram for serious dental work but I know Grace are excellent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Recent experience at Grace - they are charging additional 300 baht for infection protection as they called it out of covid… you don’t give antibiotics for a virus that you don’t have….and they give it 30 minutes b/f your appointment sorry but this is bad medicine…when in doubt and are clueless, let’s throw antibiotics at it… antibiotics should be administered only for a known specific bacteria infection… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) They gave me four 150mg capsules….I found shocking so I faked like I took them and put them in my bag… one should never take antibiotics w/o specific cause and never take a drug that you don’t know what you are specially taking….. given to me by a dental assistant… Edited September 16, 2021 by cardinalblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
