I am just a little scared of going to the dentist as I have put it off for way to long Thanks for your help, BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxme Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Check with Bangkok Smile Asoke. An implant and a crown on top is from 65000 baht. The titanium implant placement is only an hour but then you need to return in a few months to have a crown fit on top of an implant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dentist shop in soi26 sukumvit,"sorry" don't know the name. There was also a thread running last year on this subject,where one TV member,recommended a lady dentist,I think in chonburi, who charged 35000bht. At the other end of the scale,I know of one dentist on sukumvit who charges 95000bht for the same procedure.

Sheryl Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 There have been many prior threads on implants, do a search in this forum under "dental implant" and you will find many threads with reports of various people's experiences. In addition to the various places in Bkk, Phnom Penh is also an option and costs a bit less for top quality work. Many people don't realize it, since the quality of medical care there is still sub-par, but PP has international standard dental services and is a dental tourist destination. Roomchang Dental Hospital being the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKdreaming Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 seems that the price in BKK at 60K baht is about the same as it is in California ! Since I will have to come back in 4-6 months to get them finished I would rather do that in BKK than in China or Cambodia It just seems like a lot of Baht , I wonder what the titanium stud costs ? I already have a good drill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yes, implants do not cost that much less here than in the West. This is true of anything where a significant portion of the cost is the material itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKdreaming Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the info above, I will be in BKK in 3 weeks so I can check at St Louis Hospital, they do not have a price list on the website and they have never been good with emailing anyway, So I do not know what they charge as a base price for screw in implant and crown BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 From my experience of dentists they will charge pay-as-you-go. So it depend on how many visits and what procedures you have. In my case the total time from first visit, then extraction, then fitting the implant, then fitting the cap, followed by final checks was close to 3 months. I had to wait for infection in the tooth socket to clear before they could proceed. Best to follow the advice of the dentist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost then was about 70,000 baht. Of course then you could get nearly 75 baht to the pound. Now it's close to 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Health care costs in Thailand have gone up dramatically in recent years so I wouldn't set much store on costs from more than a year ago, especially at a private facility. The least expensive option for dental work is the Mahidol Dental Hospital which is somewhere around Victory Monument on Ratachatewi. Long waits and red tape, and the work will be done by students/interns/residents, but under supervision and quality is usually good. For slightly more money you can attend an "after hours" clinic 4 - 8 PM Monday - Friday where you may be able to get a fixed appt and be treated by one of the faculty. The savings will only be on labor though so if implants, there will still be the cost of the implants themselves which is considerable. No way to avoid that no matter where you go.

BKKdreaming Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Hi I got this today , it was much longer with all services but this was about implants , from Dental Hospital Soi 49 ________________________________________________________________________ I would like to inform you the estimated cost the different type of dental implants and crown procedure complete in several options as follows: a) ITI Straumann Implant System (www.straumann.com) crown porcelain with high precious metal 116,000 Baht crown porcelain with semi precious metal 114,000 Baht Nobel Replace (www.nobelbiocare.com) crown porcelain with high precious metal 103,000 Baht crown porcelain with semi precious metal 101,000 Baht c) Astra Tech Implant System (www.astratech.com) crown porcelain with high precious metal 95,500 Baht crown porcelain with semi precious metal 90,500 Baht crown porcelain with low precious metal 85,500 Baht d) SI Implant System (www.southernimplants.com) crown porcelain with high precious metal 82,500 Baht crown porcelain with semi precious metal 77,500 Baht crown porcelain with low precious metal 72,500 Baht We usually recommend patients to stay in Bangkok for 7-10 days for the first stage implant procedure. You are able to stay in Bangkok 2-3days for surgery and return 1 week later for check up and stitches off. If not, patients can have the stitches off in their home town. For the second or final stage, we recommend patients to stay around 7-10 days. All dental procedures are operated by dental specialists, not general dentists. ________________________________________________________________________________ So that will give anyone following this thread an idea.......
