Cheap implants

[Guest truthman]

VimutPhahonyothin

Vimut Dental in Phahonyothin is having a sale on dental implants -- only 35,000 for Neobiotch. I don't know know much about the place but this is cheap. I paid 55,000 for mine, which were Osstem from South Korea.

probably one of the things you don't want to cheap out on is any surgical procedure

I had an implants done in Bangkok several years ago. I initially went to the Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) thinking that would be the best option. I was fortunate to meet a dentist that spoke perfect English. I thought she must have lived in the US to speak so fluently with no accent. She told me that most of her education was in Thailand but went to NY to get her dental degree. To my surprise, she told me BIDH costs too much and she recommended that I do some research since implants are relatively common practice now.  Sure enough prices varied. I got mine done for less than 30,0000 baht.  I've had no problems with my implant.

Do your research......

[wombat]

Was 30k for one or a mouthful?

[Muhendis]

Ridiculous sums of money and certainly not cheap.

Price for foreigner is about 6k for a crown in gov. dentist.

My implants also cost 30,000 each (plus 25,000 more for the crowns).  My dentist, who studied implantology at UCLA and said he's done about 2,000 procedures, told me that the quality of most brands these days was bascially the same and so there was no longer any reason to choose the higher priced brands. Both BIDH and Bangkok Smile had tried to talk me into Staumann (although Bangkok Smile did admit that all of them were good), which ran around 80,000, I beleive.

 

I haven't had any problems either. Neo-Biotech is offered by many places these days although the larger places might urge you to go with Straumann, which is apparently more profitable for them.

What have folks paid for full mouth implants? Recommendations for doctors or clinic for a full set of dental implants? My friend needs all teeth removed and either dentures or implants. Thanks for any guidance ????

Dentures would be way cheaper than implants. The human head has 32 permanent teeth, even if one goes back to 20 primary teeth at the cheapest rate it is still well north of half a million baht.

One clinic I looked at started at about 350,000 per jaw. You don't get a full set of implants, dentures are set onto two to four implants. Some patients may require extra implants. Not sure if the price included extracting old teeth. There are places in Bangkok which give free consultations.

[crazykopite]

I had my remaining teeth removed just prior to Covid coming along so two years on I am still without teeth . Over the years I’ve had part dentures but unfortunately the longest I could keep them in my mouth was about 40/50 seconds due to a high acid influx . I’ve contacted many dentists over the last two years enquiring about All on four dentures. And have had quotes of up to 800,000 baht for a full mouth which at 71 years of age makes me think that I wouldn’t get a good return on my money before they end up in the temples fires along with me , saying that it hasn’t put the ladies dating me ! I hate the acrylic dentures and it appears the flexible valplast dentures required you to have a couple of your original teeth in place if anyone out there can offer there experience or expertise I would be most grateful thankfully my appearance has not changed I still have good cheeks and have a goatie beard I have looked at flying to Turkey and having the work carried out there one of my friends did that and what a good job they did and at only half the cost of Thai prices and that included the flights .

[salsajapan]

the only thing to check is the material used, anything else is BS, but it seems too complicated for you to know that.

Some implants are cheaper than the most expensive ones but the material used is better.

If your skum millionaire dentist spends more time on his job than driving his ferrari, he should know...

Considering that the biggest cost is for the crown not the procedure I find the above very hard to belive.

The cost was split between the three visits.

First to dig out what was left of the old tooth.

Second to screw in the post.

Third to fit the crown which I elected to be acrylic. If I had gone for ceramic the cost would have been several thousand more (can't remember exactly).

The location of the gov. dentist is opposite the central police station in Buriram. I was recommended to go there because my local gov. hospital dentist did not have the training for this procedure.

Wrong.

Gov. dentists most certainly do treat foreigners. 

I'm not sure about crows either ????

[RafPinto]

I saw that 7/11 is now stocking implants.
Used ones available for 1000Baht

Soon, liver, hearts etc. all available for very affordable prices.
Go and get a full service at your local 7/11 and cut the  cost of expensive private hospitals.

CP group is everywhere.

do you get a referral fee  ????

That sounds like an implant not a crown as crowns are fitted to the tooth it is not removed.

There's a joke in there somewhere involving a mother-in-law. ????

I have tooth that an expensive root canal was done on. It has minor absess although it's better with routine brushing, mouthwash...

 

I contacted all the advertised internet dental services and all gave me ridiculous prices. I gave up looking and luckily the tooth is better which buys me time.

 

I was quoted about 45k to 120k one tooth and incidentals could bring the costs higher.

 

My elderly mother said same procedure by fancy US dentist was us1800.

 

English speaking dental services Bangkok are now a total ripoff. You essentially pay the exact same price as you would in the United States minus 30%. The 30% we can say is all of the additional overhead and insurance that the US dentist must incur. While you save 30% in Thailand there is no insurance nor any higher levels of education and care.

My sister had a single tooth dental implant done at the end of last year in the US and it cost $8,000. 

[allanos]

Upper implants I received twenty-five years ago eventually worked loose and came out.

 

Two years ago I researched the costs of having the work re-done, either in Thailand or

India. Indian prices were far cheaper than those of the dentists in Thailand. The dental

practice I corresponded with most in India was also prepared to negotiate on price,

Thailand practices less-so.

[sqwakvfr]

I had one implant and crown done in the US more than 10 years ago.  The total cost was $8,000 and it took 6 months for the implant to fuse with the jaw bone. 

 

I’ve had 3 implants and crowns done by a dentist in Chiang Mai in the last three years.  All the implants were Ossteem and each cost 36,000 Baht.  The Zirconia crown was 15,000 Baht each.  So far no complaints. The Osstem implants required 2 to 3 months to fuse.

45k for implant and crown is to be expected; inclusive of incidentals, with conscientious practitioners.

What made the US dentist, 'fancy'? I dare say that the practice here will likely be no less fancy.

 

If you want cheaper, there is always India at half price or less. Perhaps worthwhile for someone who needs extensive work; such as full tooth replacement with perhaps up to eight implants needed.

Not all crowns can be fitted to a tooth when a root canal is needed and a post must be inserted into the root area and a crown thus affixed.  Just had this done last week.  Waiting on the actual crown to be delivered as The one placed is just temporary.  Then the fun begins in a few months when I will be having Implants done, quoted 400k for both upper and lower all on 4.  I don't need any bone grafts or such, I just have to replace my cracked, chipped and ground down teeth from stress and chewing jaw breakers my entire life.  The Root canal, post and crown ran me 10h and that included the post infection fighting medication

If you happen to snuff it, I would like to have a certain part of your anatomy, please. I envy the success with it you are reporting on various ASEAN threads.
