mapletree Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I saw the list of recommended profesionals and services but wonder: can anyone recommend a dentist from personal experience? My partner needs a root canal and--I'm not sure what you call it--cosmetic overlays? for two front teeth injured as a child in a bumper car accident (ouch! childhood is full of risks). I see the recommended dentists in the list but wonder if anyone has direct experience of them or can recommend a specific dentist at one of these clinics. Thanks for any help!

You can save more money at other places but Grace is a nice blend of value and high quality and they are good at working with us non Thai speakers. Just today I got a filling done very professionally for 800 baht. Would have been 5 times that price at my dentist in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Many of us have also had excellent results from the Dental Hospital on the superhighway. A root canal removes the nerves and blood vessels, which makes the remaining porcelain brittle. Thus you need to cover it with a crown. The crown often costs about the same as the surgery to take out all the roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Maple Tree I had my two front teeth broken as a child too in a similar accident!.... Grace Dental did an amazing job replacing my old metal lined crowns with ceramic replacements which look like real teeth. They had them imported from Sweden. I also had root canal work done on one of my front teeth too. I was petrified when the explained the procedure but honestly it was completely pain-free!! The professional hi-tec service Grace provide is worth paying the little bit extra... although it still turned out to be a fraction of the cost of what I would have paid back in the UK!!

ThaiPauly Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have just completed a year's worth of dental work at Grace. a very professional outfit, my only compalint was that they keep trying to change your appointment because they knew I live here. At first I went along with it..but then put my foot down and said NO..After that they never tried again. Dr Korakot is quite a doll too, speaks fluent English and French Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus eater Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I was intending to go ahead with major implant treatment with CM Dental Hospital, having just had an extraction done as a preliminary. However an oral quote by them is more expensive than an emailed one from Grace. Moreover I notice that the two share much the same panel of dentists, and have checked that they use the same brand of (german) implant. Was wondering - OK to try to bargain (beat them down) on the price? - OK to specify the specialist I would want to work on my implant? - Much praise on equipment at Grace. Is it superior/more modern than at CM Dental Hospital? - All in all, if I get the same price and specialist, are the two absolutely on a par? All comment, especially if implant-related, would be much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All comment, especially if implant-related, would be much appreciated. Thanks I was going to have implants done at Grace..but the Doctors there after giving me an initial quote...roughly the same priceas a New Honda Jazz, said that they thought my gums would be to weak and they could not guarantee the results. Where else in Thailand would a company say "Keep your 650,000 Baht in your pocket as we cannot be sure of success"? Most I would guess would take your money and if there were problems afterwards..well Mai Pben Rai...not Grace...very professional..If I were you I would go with them..they really seem to know what they are talking about Chok Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I bargained on my denture at CM Dental Hospital. His first quote was about 3% of my dentist in Houston, and I hesitated, hemmed and hawed. He lowered his price by about 200 baht, if I recall. Overall, I was quoted $3,400 US, 3,400 pesos mexicanos nuevos, and 3,400 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at getting a single implant for one of my teeth (dead nerve, its on the way out), Bangkok Clinics prices are about $750 per implant. I'm gonna email them but has anyone had work done on this scale, and what were the charges (roughly). My UK dentist charges $3000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
