Reader question: High prices for implants and crowns at Dental World Pattaya?

I have 2 crowns, 1 x 19.000 Thb of gold and 1 x 8.000 thb of plain standard.
I didn't want the gold one, but the dentist insisted that was better in that place, material is more flexible.
Luckily it sits in the back of the mouth so you can't see it.
Also informed for an implant, but then you are still talking about an 80-90.000 thb.

Previously I had everything done to my mouth in Thailand was advantageous. Should even send it to my health insurance company since I am also insured for dental costs. Now you can only declare when you have been and then they can still refuse. I also noticed that the difference was not much for me, so if it is not okay there, you cannot go back to Holland.

My wife had 8 porcelain implants placed at what was, after research, the best clinic in the Netherlands.
In total, the treatment lasted 14 months, of which 2 times under anesthesia, a total of € 40.000, perfect result and an eternal guarantee.
Given the number of actions, including promoting bone growth in the jaw first, making a preliminary product, etc., I would never have implants placed in Thailand, Turkey or Hungary.
A friend who has had this done in Thailand now has a few holes instead of implants.

I once had an etching bridge placed after my front tooth and root were broken in an accident. Costs at the time in Spain were 99 euros. It has been perfect for years and cannot be distinguished from the real thing. Unless you have a lot of money, I can't really appreciate these kinds of amounts for teeth. But not everyone thinks this way and you don't hear dentists complaining.

Have had 1998 crowns and 5 implants placed in Thailand to full satisfaction over a period since 3. All at Bankok Smile Dental Clinics on Asoke (Sukhumvit Soi 21) in Bangkok. ( http://www.bangkoksmiledental.com/ ) The last implant in 2016 with the crown in Jan. “17.
At the time it was considerably cheaper in Thailand, and the costs were fully within my Dutch insurance reimbursement. The last time it doesn't matter much, paid a total of € 1.550,00 incl. extras such as anesthesia, x-rays, etc. Because the treatment was spread over two years, I was able to receive 2x € 500,00 from my insurance. Ergo (always) everything without complications, infections, etc, for net € 550,00. No, not really cheaper than in NL, but with a lot of friendliness, service and of course a holiday.

This year I underwent 2 root canal treatments at the Dental Clinic in Nakhon Nayok and had 4 new crowns placed. That cost me a total of 84,000 baht. About 2,200 euros. I think the dentist is better than my dentist in the Netherlands. It is a professional who explains to me every time on the basis of the x-rays what he is going to do and how he is going to treat me. All treatments in consultation and explanation in the English language. So far I am very satisfied and the price seems reasonable to me.

Dear Jack,

Last April I was helped with a bridge twice with 2 crowns and a loose crown. Including tooth extraction and root canal treatment, the cost was 3 Baht, 48000 Baht per crown plus costs. a total of 6000 crowns placed. On November 7 I will be going back for a longer period of time and having 13 implant done. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with any information about the implant as she (female dentist) does not do implants. During my last visit she indicated that a colleague friend could take care of this, but I will hear this in November.

The practice is located on Soi Kao Talo in the East Side of Pattaya.
Practice name is Arunroj. and is located on the right a little over a kilometer after the railway crossing and opposite a small market.
A few years ago I also asked for advice on this blog and this practice was recommended to me. So Lodewijk, thanks again!!!
