If you don't like it Leave ! Root canal

[georgegeorgia]

I have put the topic title as I know a lot of you are bored with dental topics but I couldn't careless I'm asking the questions whether you get bored or not 

 

I have been quoted $2,900 AUD in Australia which is around 70,000 Thai baht for a Root canal includes a metallic crown apparently have no idea what that means but anyway 

 

I argued with the Australian dentist 

"This is too much ,I'm only a hospital cleaner I shouted 

" I will give you $1000 ( around 23000 Thai baht)

He shouts back " If you don't like it......leave !!!!!

 

Leave !!! If you don't like it !....leave !

 

Upper right tooth near the front 3rd from front 

About 3-4 visits approx 

 

70,000 baht !!!!

How much in Thailand or Cambodia or Philippines?

Well my aybe not Cambodia

Philippines may be a option BUT I'm thinking more Thailand!!!!

 

I'm thinking of making a trip to save and cancel this Australia dental appointment!

Yes thanks

But does that include the root canal ?

Ask her what the approx cost for a root canal plus metallic crown is

 

,I have no idea what a metallic crown is but that's what they put in the quote for $2,900 / 70,000 thai baht

In Pattaya (at BPH) a root canal is approx 15,000 baht, a top notch ceramic crown is approx 16,000 baht and maybe 2,000 baht for misc fees/supplies etc. If a pin is needed for the crown then that is approx 4000 baht.

So about 4 visits and about 35,000 baht.

Hope that helps.

As an implant is from around 40k, what the point of a root canal?

Either way, better to have a one piece ceramic crown than the cheaper metallic version.

Might have a point ..I never thought of that ,but I will only stay Thailand 4 weeks ,I think a implant will be more time

Yes, it will. Two visits, At least three to six months apart. Ceramic crown advice still stands.

Implant is costly, takes many visits and the time for the implant pin to graft is about 6 months before any crown can be fitted.

These dentists in the West are bloodsuckers !

Probably same in the UK 

 

Are dentists expensive around the World?

What about places like Poland and Hungary?

 

I heard in Australia their hourly rate as a employee iof a hospital is $200 an hour !

 

I have decided I might get in on this dentistry myself with that kind of money !

The price quoted to you in Australia is not really that outrageous -- for Australia.

Thailand does provide excellent dentistry at a lower price.

However, remember that there are a few charlatans out there.

So if you have the work performed in Thailand, be sure to use a reputable dentist.

I've had 2 root canal + ceramic crown done by my dentist since 20 years back, 8000 for root canal treatment and 12000 for a crown. BPH is just overly expensive in everything they do.

And if things don't go a planned ?

 

I had a crown done at BumCrap dental clinic.  Without the root canal, and that alone took 1 month, because the 1st didn't fit correctly.  Come back in 2 weeks.  All for nothing as it broke in less than 6 months anyway.   Never sat right, as she didn't do a root canal, and the tooth was impacted, why the 1st didn't sit right, or the 2nd.

 

Had a root canal done last year, Oct maybe, that took 2 vists / 3 weeks, and return for composite, 1 week later.  So one month, also for a side incisor.

 

Are you adding the cost of flights and hotels for your possibly 1 month stay ?  Since you're not a big fan of TH, it's not exactly a holiday for you.

No, it is in Samui by a dentist who doesn't do dual pricing. I may have got some discount (1000-2000 baht) for being a long time customer but you should not have to pay more than 25000 for the same job anywhere in Thailand.

Nice way to engage with us. You should have just said F**K You! I think you will find people here willing to help without insulting them right from the start.

Are you sure? Cheaper crowns are ceramic over metal. Better are solid ceramic.
