Teeth implants

[kingalfred]

Any suggestions on best place and value to get a dental implant in.Bangkok? I have been told all the implants are imported from.either Korea or Switzerland and complete procedures range from 30k to 80k Thai baht.

[siam2007]

while I am based in BKK too, for such thing I would go to Pattaya for sure. google for travel-dental Pattaya Dr Ramin. The first foreigner who ever passed the Thai dental board exam (in Thai language). specialist for implants, using high quality implants

[kingalfred]

Nah,going pattaya and starting at 65,000. Nope

Make sure implantologist is also prostodontist and will do all the work not just load the implant and shuffle you off to a drone in the clinic to do most of the very important work with design of the abutment and crown and having a plan to achieve optimal bite . If this is delegated then the superstar Implantologist really has little to do with the final outcome and when you choose an Implantologist one is making that choice based on his experience and success rate not the drones in the clinic you will be shuffled to sometimes .

Oh oh oh if I knew then what I know now after getting 10 implants a year ago and loosing one and still not even close to finishing while the place that took large deposit keeps me on hold and in the dark or that's how it feels as I ask for plan in writing again and again as they tell me what to do that is always changing as I beg for written details only getting numbers [emoji765] . I hope I can report back and say all went well in time and give good report about this place but this has been a seriously depressing experience and I researched for years here before I started with unlimited budget making optimal results number one . So much behind the curtain here and if a clinic or Dr. does wrong possibly the patient is the one that takes the long painful and expensive fall I don't know .... To be continued because I want to be fair and give this well known dental clinic that took on my job on all the chances I can but WILL report the facts soon and hope they are positive [emoji120]

"the only digital scanner in Thailand"

wotsdeematter tell me more about this ? I am not aware of any clinics that have digital scanner here on site , the places they outsource their crowns to be milled may have but in my investigations not find any clinics that have them onsite in their clinics yet . Some clinics may infer that posting pictures that are from places they out source work to hoping readers would think the scanners are owned by them and actually in their clinic but when I investigated found this not to be accurate but I may be wrong please let me know what you found ?

I have found Bangkok.prices are a lot more expensive

[bkk6060]

USA I paid $4500 (150,000b) for one implant.

Another example of a rip off country.

I'm in the process of getting one right now: $4,000 out-of-pocket WITH insurance! For putting a screw in my jaw and attaching a tooth to it! Indeed what a ripoff!!!

I have no dir experience with Bangkok, but you can check out dentalimplantsfriends com, they list many overseas dental centres.

A couple things to be aware of:

 

do NOT skimp on quality for price. I know several people who have broken and unfixable implants in their jawbones now and are really sorry they did.

 

If you are a smoker...be aware that what they will not tell you is you will have a 30% higher rate of failure for proper setting of the implant into your bone. If you smoke...quit first and clean up your system or forget about implants...not worth the risk and trouble.

[BKKdreaming]

is there a better country to get implants ?  price and quality ?

and not India

 

In the USA its pretty expensive and I need more than one !

I took my Dad last week to my dentist in Bangkok (Bangkok Smile) for a dental implant treatment. 4 dental implants were needed because he is completely edentulous (or no teeth left) in his upper jaw. He availed of their promotion called the All-on-4 implant where it includes everything (implant, connectors, acyrlic bridge, basic medications) and he spent about 9k US$. The whole procedure only took one full day, the doctor, Dr. Sunisa placed the implants in the morning and later in the afternoon she installed the bridge, or the actual teeth replacements. My dad was able to go back to our hotel with his teeth and in fact had a burger from McDonalds for dinner that night. So far he has no complaints on the treatment and is happy he can eat anything he wants unlike with his dentures that keep on falling before.

I wish your father nothing but the best with that but, for anyone else considering an "instant" implant, my implantologist back in Europe very strongly recommended to me never to even consider such a process as apparently the failure rate is quite high. She advised me to always go with the traditional method which generally takes around 4-6 months and has a very high success rate if you dont smoke.

BKKdreaming- I think there are a few destinations, but not a single country.

Dentalimplantsfriends lists destinations - here

Medigo mentions countries - here

You make it sound easy. Maybe you should have done it yourself. [emoji16]

I beg to disagree that the All-on-4 Treatment can be regarded as an "instant" implant at all, in fact, it is a highly advanced dental implant treatment that is backed up by years of research and clinical documentation. The success rate is at its highest at 98%, and based on my dad's progress, which is going into two months now, he has fully recovered and eating, chewing, and doing what he likes best - socializing with people, with great confidence. Also, the implants that where used for his All-on-4 implant treatment were Nobel Speedy Implants, which are products by Nobel Biocare, a world-leader in implant innovation. The implants are designed to enhance the implant-to-bone integration, which are perfect for immediate-loading after extraction (as in my dad's case), because of their threaded surface and highly-specialized Ti-Unite (titanium) surface. Maybe some implantologist would still recommend the conventional 4-6 months waiting period, but because my dad's dentist (Dr. Sunisa @ Bangkok Smile) have had such advanced training on modern techniques, there is no need to actually wait that long for a highly successful and predictive dental implant treatment.

Just wondering, how long had your father been missing these teeth? And did this $9,000 4 in 1 implant include any bone grafting? I see they are advertising a price of 300,000 baht there now which would be more like $8,574 or $2,143 each which is not bad for this procedure and not having to wait. I have recently had three implants at 45,000 baht each ($1,286) with no grafting done but l did have to wait a total of around 6 months from extraction until the titanium implants with zironium crowns were completed. I would highly recommend my clinic also if anyone is interested, it is just off Sathorn Road on Soi Suan Plu8 in Bangkok.

@BobTH

My dad became totally edentulous about six years ago, and that's when he started wearing full dentures. Unfortunately, he never got used to wearing them because they always come loose whenever he eats and speaks, even with a dozen of adjustments throughout those years. Actually, if he opted for the regular dental implants, he would've needed additional bone grafting because he had lost bone structure wearing the dentures for 6 years. But as I've said, because the All-on-4 doesn't require any bone grafting procedure prior to placing them, it save us time and money. Just be sure that your dentist uses the original Malo Clinic Protocol All-on-4, because there are other clinics claiming they can carry out an all-on-4 implant treatment. Malo Clinic (Dr. Paulo Malo) is the one who invented the All-on-4 surgical technique, and that is what our dentist perform because she have had training with Dr. Malo himself in Lisbon, Portugal.

Like I said, I wish him nothing but good luck with that.

 

I prefer to take the advice of my highly-trained and highly-qualified European implantologist who had absolutely nothing to gain or lose from what she told me as I no longer live there. I've had three traditional implants done here that have worked just fine, so I expect I will stick with that procedure if I need any more, though I will listen to my implantologist at the time. Perhaps if I had needed all my teeth replacing the advice would have been different, but that was not the case. The hospital-based Thai implantologist who did my implants also recommended the traditional method.
