I've had good luck (no problems) with my implants that I had done at Dental Select.  Pattaya 3rd road, close to Pattaya Glang.

Remarks: The Expat recommending commented ‘Everyone I send to him is delighted and never goes to another dentist.’ Great English. In Jomtien, but friends go out from other parts of Pattaya to see him. Close to the golden ‘monkey’ statue.

Thank you all.

Went to this this. Didn't like, was Chinese fast talking sales man. Maybe good but not my taste.

Cash, no receipt. Can't keep appointment time. Walk in Chinese customers  went by me like I wasn't there.

I rather suffer untill back to States. Prices were same...

PS. Now I got it; The Brit must have sold the business to this Chinese man. I met briefly an old nice Thai lady speaking very good English. Must be wife, or widow, of the Brit Dr?

Please specify:

Is your implant loose or is it the abutment.

 

If you're implant is loose and therefore has lost its connection to your alveolar bone, there is not much you can do. A dentist will have to take it out, wait for some time, and then maybe insert another one.

 

The abutment is normally fixed on the implant with a screw. It's job is to create a connection between implant and the prosthetic, which could be a single crown, a bridge, a removable denture or whatever.

 

The next question is how your prosthetic, assuming that you have one, is fixed on the abutment. 

 

If the abutment is loose and your prosthetic is glued on it, then again it might be tricky as you have to remove the prosthetic first before you can tighten the screw. If there is an easy access to that abutment, it can be tightened within minutes.

 

But here is the next problem.

 

Which company is your implant manufacturer?

Worldwide there are more than 1,000 implant manufacturers and each and every one of them has its own implants, abutments and tools and unfortunately they are in most cases not compatible to each other meaning with a screwdriver from company a you can't tighten a screw from Company B.

 

If you know your implant manufacturer the best thing you can do is try to find out it's local dealer in Thailand, give them a call and ask them who is the next dentist working with their system.

 

To your second post.

There has never been a British dentist in Thailand. They may have been a foreigner working for a Thai dentist translating or consulting his patients

 

There is only one foreign dentist who passed the Thai Dental board exam which is mandatory in order to get a work permit and work in Thailand as a dentist. And he is not a Brit.

 

 

By the way, you are talking to him.

Thank you so much!

I figured same: The screw is loose. Crown has to be removed, screw tightened or replaced.

There was a problem;  Not enough bone to use larger screw without bone craft. I didn't want to do it. So I took a change and it didn't work, part of my own fault.

The manufacturer is an Italian company, well know in EU.

 

If you don't mind; What should I do?

Try to fix or pull it out and live without?

Money is not an issues. I'm scared of large complicated dental work. Many bad experiences since child.

Thanks!

Please specify:

 

Is the IMPLANT - BONE connection loose or the ABUTEMENT - IMPLANT connection?

 

Sometimes difficult to diagnose.

 

Both are partially shaped like a screw.

 

If the implant is loose, all you can do is extraction, if the Abutment is loose, it may be possible to tighten it.

 

 

[GypsyT]

As you say "difficult to know" without removing crown.

I do it when back in US or EU.

Thank you!
