how many have false teeth in  LOS and are they any good

Depending on denture manufacturer. Top set for me cast 8,000 Baht and I have no problems.

How did you cope with having em al out and eating something in the meantime?

Depends what you want, dentures are relatively cheap but a full jaw permanent implant will set you back hundreds of thousands.

 

I am getting a single tooth implant (with graft and lift) that ill cost 180000 at Bumrungrad. A full jaw will require at least 4 implants plus the denture.

You limit yourself to soups and soft foods until you get the denture. You then experiment as to how things go and what you can't eat.

Had a partial denture made for me at the Ram dental clinic in Chiang Mai. Still going strong about 12 years later.

 

A dentist in Australia said it was very well made.

My Thai dentist has many missing teeth due to spicy foods ,dunno if he does his own tooth repairs tho

My mum came and got hers done in Khon Kaen around 20,000bht she still loves them still fit well after 5 years better then what she had in Canada and a fraction of the cost.  Seems a good lab is in Chaing Mai for dentures crowns etc..

I have a plate with 7 false teeth. I love it! It cost me about 4,000 Baht, maybe 3,500 Baht, 2 years ago.

Normally, implants in the province where I live cost about 45,000 Baht. Maybe it's gone up a bit. I don't know. As for 180,000 Baht, wow! ... Actually, I'm surprised that Bumrungrad didn't charge you over 500,000 Baht. Their prices can be crazy for foreigners, I hear. 

Women love edentates

My friend went to a 'respected' place for a full set of teeth, he got the call to go get them 5 months later.🤔

 

I said, "Well at least they will be well broken in"....🤣

What about women with dentures, any  reports on the  hawk tua?

That's a myth, Bumrungrad isn't cheap but that have single pricing, unlike government hospitals. 

 

I am getting top of the range Swiss made hardware, and needed bone graft and sinus lift. Go to Smile dental for the same set you'll end up 10-15% cheaper, maybe. Also I chose Bumrungrad as I have been using them for 10 years and for my first implant I wanted a trustworthy provider.

 

I also getting a 75% refund from my insurance. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

For me it is about age + price

 

Full upper mouth of dentures cost 3,500 baht  vs 7 implants cost 200,000 baht  this was a few weeks ago.

 

Age 74 cannot see the point of spending all that...  2003/4 had 3 crowns and 2 bridges on posts, so lasted  over 20 years cost back then 60,000 baht,  these days appears the options are dentures or implants

 

Problem as you get older your gums shrink  and whatever you have may well not fit well after time.....  Thai friend has just had to have his Implant re-down after 5 years -   5 visits + 180.000 baht bill 

 

so if when I get them my 3,500 baht dentures need replacing in a few years it will not be a big outlay........ at moment all 5 crowns have fallen out + my 3 own teeth have broken off, so far 2 weeks ago had 1 root removed, dentist say's better to have 1 x root removed every 3 weeks. 

this looks promising for the future,

Spicy food has no effect on tooth loss.  

Find a better dentist.

I have bone loss so can’t remedy the situation

That remark might have shot over a few members heads.

@3NUMBAS

please clarify if you are talking about implants or dentures

 

Nothing at all wrong with dentures (full or partial) made here. But of course they are not same as implants, have to be taken off/put back on etc.

I can’t have implants cos of bone loss

Growing new teeth is on the horizon as tests are ongoing for future use

You should read what he said before a silly comment.

It is not a straight forward implant but it requires bone graft & sinus lift.
