Nope, I've found all dentist to be expensive on Samui if you are foreign. They have a two-tier pricing structure. Ask to see the list in thai, and you will see - cheaper for Thais and 3 xs the cost of Chiang mai.

Was also told at several dentists here that I needed at least 4 fillings 9because my teeth were showing a tiny spot of black - the start of decay they said). just went up to Chiang Mai and saw who I consider to be the best dentist up there (there are many good ones) and she said... no need to fill, just brush regularly and will need filling only when it has actually decayed.

most denstists here on samui are money making scammers in my opinion.

Maybe still cheaper than 'home' wherever that is for you, but much more expensive than other places in Thailand.

Could not agree more with lighstar. For fair priced - excellent dentistry, give Samui a big miss and head to Chiang Mai.
