Dental Implant - CM

[dingdongrb]

I'm in the need of a dental implant and my current dentist, which is good mind you, seems possibly higher than I could find elsewhere.

So I would like to hear from some of you on recent implant service.

I would like to hear the price you paid and how well the service and satisfaction was.

[Rancid]

As previously mentioned I had two implants done in CM plus a sinus lift. One implant failed as did the lift, the latter I had fixed back in Oz by a doctor/dentist specialist.

That was in Thapae Rd, he also said that he repairs a lot of botched Thai dentistry and that the implants were a substandard titanium alloy of a design he didn't recognize.

He suggested getting the implants done in Oz and the crowns, root canals etc done in Thailand.

No doubt there are good places but my experience has never been very good at several dentists. So go by referral from friends probably best. Cheers...

Thx Rancid but I am looking for some positive referrals as well as some recent pricing. I did see and read your previous post .

There is a guy on Thapae Rd. with a sign that says from 36,000. There is some mention of UCLA. I think you only save 5000 by getting the Thai made post. The ones from Switzerland and America are the international standard. It doesn't surprise me that a dentist in Oz would badmouth Thai dentistry. They hate competition and price advertising, just like America. Most Thais have very nice teeth, probably inverse of the number in Cambodia or the UK. This clinic has a least one dentist from CMU school of Dentistry: www.ssdentalclinicshiangmai.com. Grace is most well known, but seems to have high prices.

I use Elite Smile and I quite like them, though I haven't had implants.

They too have a big sign outside saying implants 36,000 Baht, but that doesn't include the crown and the real cost is minimum 45,000 Baht

[ARISTIDE]

Approximately 60000 bath each, for including other needed procedure that come with the implant e.g. bone regeneration and etc.. But teeth from Korean can be cheaper. This is the standard price worldwide. The doctor is very serious about what he is doing and I received high standard practice.

I had one done some 10 yrs ago at cm dental hospital just past cm computer on superhighway same side of road. Dr jarunee did it . German schooled. Did not feel a thing and have not had a prob since installed. She was partnered up with dr korakot at grace dental but had moved on to her own practice now. I would imagine she's prob I'm

Line with grace prices now.

Back then I had the US screw implanted and the whole thing cost $800 US but exchange back then was closer to 40- 1 baht

That was us my experience ..

[Thighlander]

www.dentzzdental.com, Mumbai, from 250 USD. The two manufacturers commonly mentioned are Nobel Biocare and Boston Scientific. To say it is 60,000 World wide just doesn't pass the sanity test.

Popped by there about a year ago when I needed some work. The mention of UCLA inspired me to go there. Turns out the Dentist took one course there.

The OP is inquiring about dental implants, which is totally different from a root canal, post and crown.

However, good to have a recommendation for root canal work and price.

That may (or may not) be true but he is an excellent dentist. Never had a better one. BTW, the less expensive post is from S. Korea.

Maybe it's a Hyundai.

[Greenside]

My dentist said that the high cost of implants is in part due to the fact that the hardware is imported. She said that they are expecting a Thai company to produce what's needed either independently or under license in the next year or so and that the price will come down.

Yes but it was an 18 month course specialising in "Dental Implants". He also employs other specialists eg Dr Joy for root canals etc. You really should be careful about what you imply.

Sorry it was 12 month course. BTW Do a check on Dental 4 U Thaepae Rd and Elite Smile and you will see Dr Warut Muttaruk is the implant specialist at both. His CV is on the Dental 4 U site. BTW he is my dentist and friend.

I believe it's more than a course - it's a 1 year full-time program. Which is more impressive. As for implant specialists, Dr. Piraya was the guy I used for implants. I am very satisfied with his work. He's also an instructor at Chiang Mai University. One of the places he works at is Dentalland on Nimmanheiman Soi 17.

Glad you were satisfied with the work, that's always the main thing.

I note from Dentallands website that the implant + crown is between 50-65,000 Baht.

Elite Smiles website shows 36,000+crown, with 10% off if using a Bangkok Bank Card before the end of the year.

I wonder what the difference is?

We've had a few Australian dental tourists at our place and one told me that he was getting shallow implants which are cheaper. Maybe that's the reason for the price difference.

Maybe it's the provenance of the implant. At Dentalland I got Swedish made implants.

Thanks for the response.

Some good questions for people to ask first.

[matttk]

The UCLA credential is a 1 year master's level course in implantology. Another implant training center in Thailand is at Vejthani Hospital in Bangkok with Frankfurt University Germany. The implants you find in Thailand are mainly Osstem, AstraTech, Intralock, Zimmer, Straumann. There is a new Thai Implant Brand on the market but there does not appear to be much literature on it because it is really new. Ask the dentist about the implant brand they use and make sure the brand is also carried in your home country, if you need maintenance, chances are you can find a home/local dentist who has the tools to fix it. Implant base price starts at 46,000 THB for implant incl. crown on the implant in Chiang Mai, this price is listed on chiangmaidentist.com - the price can go higher depending on the brand and the type of crown.

[bluweyze]

The implant for 36,000 at Elite Smile is sourced from Korea. That is not a criticism just information.

[Cheesekraft]

I am looking to get an implant also, I would avoid elite smile. I have heard rave reviews, but I have had terrible experiences there. They botched a simple filling, then they botched the repair (which I had to pay for), they left me in severe pain for a few weeks (take paracetemol with a swollen face and severe pain). Then, they made me schedule a root canal. I visited another dentist and no root canal was needed, and I am fine now. I will NOT be going back to elitesmile under any circumstances. This post will probably get deleted, but its worth knowing they are very capable of messing up, badly.
