bananafarang Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My son needs an tooth implant but cost is very high in USA. It would be much cheaper in Thailand but problem is time. I did some research and found One day implant or Immediate Implant where implant is done within a week. Usually two visits. There is hospital in Bangkok who does this but can't find anything in Chiang Mai. Anyone know of any place in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I suggest you try Elite outside Panthip Plaza - we have both had very good experience there- but not yet with implant. I have had root canal etec etc They are very professional and will advise you of your safe options. GF has just had some gum reconstruction there with an oral surgeon who also teaches dentistry here. Back for stitches out this week. Not pleasant but we feel we are in very good hands there Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Grace Dental also does it but do indicate 'is limited in certain circumstances', though that is probably true at any clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yes it can be limited due to bone density and sinus issues but believe in most cases it is an option. But not sure how much cheaper it will be here as still costs a lost due to the actual cost of implant and in general dentistry is not that cheap in Thailand at international standards facilities.

uptheos Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Yes it can be limited due to bone density and sinus issues but believe in most cases it is an option. But not sure how much cheaper it will be here as still costs a lost due to the actual cost of implant and in general dentistry is not that cheap in Thailand at international standards facilities. I think the cost of a tooth implant at Elite is around 45,000 THB A lot cheaper than UK average COST SUMMARY FOR PARTS IN UK:1. Implant placement (single) is £1000 – £1500 2. Abutment: £350 – £600 3. Crown: from £450 – £1000 Edited July 28, 2014 by uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 45k and upwards is there posted price and do not believe many would be less. Not sure what US prices are but other services were quite reasonable at store clinics when I last used them. Google says as low as 30,000 baht in US but average about 70,000.

Thighlander Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's not as safe to do it in one day. I think they like to wait 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how representative this site is of the USA in general, but with possible add-on's an implant looks pretty expensive in the states. http://www.dentalimplantcostguide.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's not as safe to do it in one day. I think they like to wait 3 months. since several years most implants are done in a matter of 2-3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe you are thinking about healing period after extraction but even that is not anywhere near that amount of time anymore unless bone regrowth is required.

dingdongrb Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I had a friend's brother in the US tell me he got some implants there and the price he paid seemed comparable with the prices here in Thailand. The only drawback was he got his done there at a dentistry school... If I recall I think it was somewhere in Michigan. It just concerns me about the possibility of having inexperienced (or little experienced) students doing the work.... Kind of like going to a cosmetology school for a haircut....

I'm seeing Dr Min late this week at Elite, I'll ask her a few questions. Anything anyone else wants asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rama Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 you'll have problems in the future if you do a single day implant. Any ethical dentist will tell you they need to put in a temporary first so that the gum can heal. They wan the gum to heal first so that when the permanent goes in, it will fit the gum line.

Tywais Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I had a friend's brother in the US tell me he got some implants there and the price he paid seemed comparable with the prices here in Thailand. The reason is that the implants are imported and they are the biggest cost. You are paying Western prices ++ as that is where they come from.

bananafarang Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 My son is 33. I found a hospital in Bangkok. http://www.bangkokdentalimplant.com/dental-implant-cases.htm Just got an email response. They seem to treat many foreigners on medical vacation. According to them, it takes two 10 day visit spanning about 2 month. I will look into it more deeply. Meanwhile, thanks to all who provided some useful info.

sailaway2000 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am told by my dentist that Thailand has now approved a domestically manufactured titanium post and thus we should be seeing costs decline as they are more widely utilized. Still........not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
