scoutman360 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I had my root canal and crown done at Dental Hospital Bangkok near On Nut. 7 Soi On Nut 1/1 (Sukhumvit 77), Phra Khanong Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. They do it all the same day because they make the crowns onsite. They drilled out the tooth, 1 hour later the crown was fitted and all done. Others have pointed out there are different types of crown materials. I was given "what they said" was the new best, and the total cost was far less than what you have quoted. 5 years now going strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did the dentist tell you, that you needed a root canal, or a root canal and crown? Is the tooth broken and or rotted? Anyone you email has not seen the tooth, so they have no idea what is needed. I use Bangkok Hospital Dental Center in Bangkok and they are great. It should cost about B1,200-3,000 with an x-rays to have them evaluate it, tell you what you need and provide a quote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 13 hours ago, Yellowtail said: Unless the tooth is mostly rotten and or broken, there should be no need for a crown. Root canal and a filling. Yep. I once opted for a filling instead of crown. Dentist told me it'd last 3 years. Lasted 15, good mileage. Probably should have just got the crown, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
