Tango7 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can someone advise of the hospital system in Bangkok and where I could go to get a root canal? Im looking for the best price - dont want to go to one of the expensive private clinics. I went to Mission Adventist Hospital Mission Hospital and found it to be very good. The root canal specialist was very good and there was no pain at all. The trouble is, you pay per visit and so make sure you get a quote for the whole thing. I am happy with the result and the price was very fair. Try to get a root canal specialist by the name of Oranuch (or similar) as she was excellent. Also, Mission has all the equipment necessary. I was told that many places don't have all the necessary stuff so by going to Mission, you'll save money by not going to BNH or Bumrungrad etc and you'll be sure that everything is there to get the job done correctly.

Checker Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am currently having root canal treatment at Muang Thong Thani. It is far cheaper in the burbs then downtown. I have my 4th visit next Tuesday with another one to follow. To date the cost has been 8,000 Baht (3 visits) with approx. another 5,000 Baht for the remaining two. I am having a ceramic cap. The gold cap was going to cost an extra 4,000 Baht . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojourn Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just had this done at Pratunam Dental clinic 22/7 Ratchaprarop Rd in Ratchatawee. About one kilometer past Indra Regent Plazza and on the same side, directly uunder a pedestrian walk-over. Fantastic local dentist and totally painless RCT on a pre-molar = two canals. Cost Bt2,000, Pin cost Bt1,500, ceramic crown Bt3,800. Two visits for the RCT, one for the setting the pin and taking the impression and one for fitting the crown. Fantastic. Forget the "super clinics" they are a real rip-off. Also had a two tooth bridge made and total cost was Bt15,200. All work has been fantastic, painless and exactly as quoted. oh, I had to pay for one x-ray - Bt100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jauntyjohn Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks a bunch for the info. A friend recently went to "Asavante" on Thong lo and walked out 35,000b lighter for not much done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking for the best price - dont want to go to one of the expensive private clinics. The Dental Hospital off Sukhumvit (spealist hospital that does nothing except dental work) - have used them for years, they do as good a job as one is likely to get in Thailand: Root canal cost my Baht 4800 in 2004 - not much them (by the exchange rate at the time), nearly double that now if using forex to pay.

For the benefit of those who have been PMing me here is a photo of the Pratunam Dental Clinic. No limo service, no fancy waiting rooms, but thousands of baht cheaper for the same work than the rip-off "super clinics". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
