Wow CP never actually thought about dental expenses while in the “ Land of Smiles “ but I can tell you this ! Last December not long after arriving in Khao Lak I suffered from large swelling to my lower jaw and chin area and had to seek a doctor to investigate what was wrong ! Turned out that I’d contracted some kind of mouth infection in my lower gum area totally out of the blue ! But the examination and administration of antibiotics for 5days with a follow up appointment was trouble free and the doctor could not have been nicer and sorted the problem out without the need to visit a hospital at a cost of only 2,500bhat which I thought was very reasonable for two appointments and medication 💊 👍
Dental care in the Thailand is by far better than any I ever had in the US. the awesome level of service you got in this video is the standard and those prices are pretty much on point with my experience as well.
@@streetfoodquest4198 I get a few cleanings yearly and I have had a two root canals done in Thailand. I also had emergency dental surgery a few years ago. All very positive and affordable experiences. I think in the US the quality of care isn't as good and the cost is crazy.
Dana, I totally agree. My wife and I had a tooth out, a bone graft and a screw in place for an implant in a few months for under 50% of what I would have paid in Chicago and 60% of what I would have paid in Sydney where we live now. And we’ve had crowns, root canals, veneers, etc. over the last 10 years and our visits to the Dental Hospital near Habito Mall over that time has paid for 2 vacations in what we have saved. Even better, many of the dentists are female with really small hands which is much more comfortable on your mouth!
I’m glad you found a good dentist! I have a similarly good dental provider in Bangkok and the prices are the same. So much cheaper in the U.S. and if you have cavities, they’ll usually fix them on the spot upon exam and cleaning instead of making another 1 or 2 appointments to come back and fix them!
As a retired European Dentist myself and as a dental patient as well, I concur with the overall opinion that dental care in thailand, overall, stands very high. 😊🙏🏻
My whole family had detal work in Chiang Mai a number of years back and it worked out to be a about a quarter of the price back home in Melbourne. So well worth the visit if you have work needed and want to combine it with a holiday. The professsionalism and level of service was first class. We werent surpirsed. Thailand is world class in health care.
It's so crazy how much healthcare is in America as I cannot speak about other western countries. Not to mentioned dental insurance of having to wait a whole year before they cover you 50% or 25% of the cost or nothing at all! What the hell am I paying you premiums every month for?? Oh yeah, it's so I only have to pay a $10 copay because it would cost me $150 for a check up and teeth cleaning if I didn't have insurance.
The treatment this guy had done in the video costs approx 100-250 within Melb, Aus.... Didn't know catching a return flight to Thailand was cheaper than that.... Plus your accomm. Did you all need major work or something
Chris two things: first don’t ignore that blood pressure! Second, 15 years ago my 20-year-old son flew to Thailand to have his wisdom teeth pulled because it was more expensive to get it done in California than it was to fly to Thailand and spend a week in Bangkok! I set everything up by email and even ask them if they would be sure to walk him down to his taxi to make sure he gave the diver the correct address for his hotel. He said the staff was wonderful and everything was very professional. So anytime you have big medical or dental procedures and want to justify a trip to Thailand the savings can basically cover your cost😍
My wife and I visit Thailand yearly. We decided to try a dental group recommended to us, and have since switched from USA to Thailand for our dental care. The care we get is so much better than in the USA, it is almost unbelievable. And it is exactly like is explained here - inexpensive. The problem, however, due to cv-19 we had to miss 2 years, but we were sure to see them this last February when we went through Bangkok. We love the BIDC, however we could not get to them in the beginning of our trip and I had some dental discomfort so we ended up at the public hospital in Tha Sala (Nakhon Si Thammarat) and saw an excellent Dentist there as well. It wasn't as fancy as the BIDC - but they were so good - and (since it was a public hospital) everything, including antibiotics was less than $10.
Dental treatment in Thailand is so easy to make an appointment (longest wait 2 weeks)mostly can walk in. Since I move to USA I have to make appointments over months 🙄
Yes, on my last visit I went in on Saturday for a check up. The dentist told me what needed doing and asked if I wanted to start treatment now ! I was in shock compared to the British NHS. I said I couldn't (I'd arranged to have dinner with my friend and his wife) so the dentist said tomorrow, Sunday. I said OK. The crowns and veneers were made overnight and on Monday it was all done. Even the temporary crowns and veneers were amazing even though only needed for 24 hrs !
Nice Vlog Chris. Prices on par with my local dentist offices in Bangna and Udomsuk area. Funny though my cleaning was 900 baht but my wife and kiddo they charged 1,200. They said my teeth were cleaner and required less work 😁. Had a tooth pulled for 800 baht. Looking into an implant now. Price really varies depending on brand/country they import from.
Implanting is so expensive for Thais. But I just had 2 at 35000 each. The cheapest but I had the prof. Doctor did it for me. His craftsmanship is excellent.
The dental clinics in Thailand are really good. BIDC (Bangkok International Dental Center) has been taking care of our family for over 10 years. We have tried everything from braces to root canals to implants. TOP !!! Assist. Prof. Dr. Preeda Pungpapong specializes in implants.
Had a wisdom tooth extracted there. I formally confirmed total cost before procedure. Dentist told me he predicts it will take 20 minutes. He was pleased it took a bit under 20 minutes. When I went to cashier to pay, the price had gone up about 33%. Confronted cashier who called dentist that had left already. Dentist told me more expensive because procedure was complicated. As a health care professional I asked him in what way because it actually took less time than predicted. He couldn't provide an answer but reverted to original quoted price. Be very weary of jacking up prices if you are not Thai especially in private or so called international clinics. There may a two tiered pricing system, one for Thai's and one for anyone else but make no mistake Thai's with money go to these places so it's not as if you are subsidizing dental care for the less fortunate. I have had mixed results in Bangkok with dentists. Some very competent, some competent? but lazy. I visited one upscale mall luxury dentist with a questionable dead tooth. The dentist just tapped on it. I had to direct the examination and specify that she check the tooth for viability using either heat or cold, the norm in dentistry. The dentist xrayed the tooth in question which was next to a tooth that had a root canal and crown. The dentist told me the adjacent tooth did not have a root canal. She sent me another x-ray. Upon leaving I asked for an xray copy to show to my Vienamese dentist that did the root canal and ask her what's up. The Thai dentist then told me they had first xrayed the wrong side and the root canal tooth in question did have a root canal done. Incidentally while traveling in Vietnam I needed dental care. Let me say high quality very competent dentists with state of the art technology are readily available. A wisdom tooth root canal cost about 100usd. I have had 2 as well as multiple crowns porcelain fused metal, the same ones as done in Thailand for about 90 usd a piece. No lack of health care providers, DDS, MD in many countries view this two tiered pricing as bizarre and unethical.
@@silasketgaskets8709 Oh, I am so sorry that you had to pay so much more after the treatment. I would lose confidence too. Fortunately, I haven't experienced anything like that here. I can only share my experience. The invoice amount was always the final amount that the doctor had discussed with me beforehand. 🌻
way expensive here in California, its a rip...... so want to return to Thailand. My sweetie died in Bangkok for 7 min and God rescued him through their services, they had robots help do the surgery to place a stint and when we returned back home, it felt like we were in a 3rd world country compared to the treatment we received in Bangkok!
Love your channel!!! But this episode alerted me to write you a comment!!! Your #18 lower left side crown and root canal tooth has severe bone loss already. It has a active infection and the prognosis is poor. The Dentist didn’t mention this unless you edited it out of the video. I saw on your Panorex X-ray and the BWX. Your chances of re-treating #18 with another root canal success is less than 50%! Your best bet is save the money and apply the expense to a Extraction, bone graph and implant if you want to restore it with another prosthetic tooth. You are familiar with implants because you already have 2 existing ones on #30, #31 on your lower right side. There’s at least 3 options for you for dealing with #18. Different prices for different budgets of course. Full disclosure, I own and operate a dental office in San Francisco California for over 17 years. I’m just looking out for you. My wife and I really enjoy all your videos! I wanted to be a little help back to you for your dental needs. Cheers!
This is some awesome content. My wife had the Invisalign done in Las Vegas and cost close to $5,600 out of pocket after insurance paid $1,500 which totals $7,100 in the US. I just had an implant done which consists of bone grafting and crown which cost out of pocket $4,800 and this after insurance paid out $1,500. Re-root canal costed $900 out of pocket after insurance. We got one of the better ones that's PPO. Thailand is not just cheap, it's fu.cking cheap. And Thailand looks like they have the latest equipments. Can't wait to head out. Sold the house, the Class A motorhome, my Jeep Wrangler and now just waiting on my wife to retire by end of this year so I can sell the Audi and get the hell out of here. Can't wait. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
That's awesome, I'm in a similar boat, sold my home and ready to retire, spent almost a year in a Class C! Where about are you looking in Thailand? I am not sure I'd be a fan of a massive city.
I miss my Thailand dentist! Never thought I would ever say this 555 My dentist is in Chiang Mai, in Santitham. Cheapest and BEST dental cleaning ever. It was so easy. She was born in Thailand but raised in Los Angeles, so she speaks perfect "Valley Girl" English hahaha
Terrific vlog, fun and very informative and pretty similar to my dentist in Chiang Mai. I once had my teeth whitened and they gave me a foot massage during the wait.
Hi Chris, great informative Vlog again always full of your energy, I’ve just had my teeth cleaned and check in NaN ( North East Thailand ) my wife’s Province we paid 1000Bth each, I was lucky no serious problems, I’ve lived in Australia were it’s High Way Robbery to visit a dentist. I’ve always found Thai Dentist to be of high standard. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
I had the best and least expensive dental work I've ever had in Thailand in 2010. And, as Chris said, they were extremely gentle as well as professional. I still brag about the Thai dentistry, especially when I visit a dentist in the U.S. The work has stood the test of time.
Great report Chris. I've been to BIDC (Bangkok International Dental Center) which has I believe 9 floors including their own dental lab making crowns and such and 1/2 a floor dedicated just for implement sterilization. Been there 3 times in the past and going back later this year for dental implants. International quality standards and half the price for implants that I would have to pay in the states. This place has a team of 6-7 dentists specializing in the various procedures like dental implants, Invisalign braces, etc. I figured a local surgeon here at home does maybe a dozen or so implants in a whole year whereas these guys do hundreds plus they have all the latest equipment. They charged me $6 for a regular x-ray and $27 for a full mouth x-ray. None of this crap at home with paying dental insurance and they either don't cover you until a year and even after that, probably only cover 50% of the cost. It'll cost me less with a great trip to Thailand to boot. Not to mention the $6-10 hour long awesome foot massages. Four star hotel cross the street for $45/night. Can't beat it.
@@thaidawg9231 I believe there's only one main location, a 7-story building on Ratchadeapisek Rd, not too far from the Swissotel Bangkok Ratchada. Take the MRT to the Thai Cultural Center stop. The other two in Bangkok are only clinics located in the shopping malls.
Thanks so much for this video, Chris! After getting poor dental care in the provinces, we went here and got A+ treatment. A dental implant with the best quality Swiss materials was less than half the price of the same thing in the US. The dentist who did the procedure is a teaching professor, attesting to the level of expertise at this clinic.
Well 78.000 baht which is 2000 USD approx for an implant is way too expensive I need 2 implant zirconia all zirconia in romania sit is li'e 600 hundred euros for two and zirconia crowns are 183 euros or less so just over 1000 euros for two implants crowns okay I thought it was way cheaper anyway will come after then take care and thanks for entertaining us
Well done answering one of the top questions people ask.What’s the cost and what level of care. My daughter broke her foot in Phuket a few years ago, first class treatment.
The price that Khun Kris showed for me is Thai. Thought it was a bit expensive, but traded for a nice looking place. Competent doctor. In Thailand, there are dental clinics that are cheaper than this. If you choose a clinic that has a location that is not very luxurious, but the treatment is not different for foreigners I think it's very easy You will find a dentist quickly and easily, no need to wait in line, I'm not sure if other countries, prices and convenience of seeing a doctor, which is better? because I have never visited a doctor abroad
yeah, but this one is hi-end tho, there have many option from high-end private dental clinic like this, or local dental clinic in public hospital. compare to average private dental not high-end like this one, yes the prices ia a bit higher
I was in Bangkok and happened to have a removal of my sudden broken wisdom tooth on day one that I started my trip in Bangkok, So I have no choice and got myself a nice dental hospital like this one. The total cost was just 16,000B which is around 460USD to have 4 wisdom teeth removed. And the service is supreme, and I had no pain after all. No pills were taken. Back in my city HK, it would likely cost about 1,000USD or even more depending on the complexity.
I hated going to the dentist when I was living back in the UK. Having moved out here a few years ago, my teeth were in a terrible state. I decided to go to the local dentist and have them checked out, but because I was so nervous and jumpy they told me they could not work on me and suggested I go to Phitsanulok (Central Thailand and near where I live) to a private hospital that provided dental care. I booked an appointment and went along, I was very impressed with the place, the cleanliness and the staff were very gentle and caring, unlike the UK where you are treated as a item in a factory. After the X-rays and investigation of the bad teeth it was recommended that the teeth had to come out and dentures fitted. Because I hated dentists this filled me with dread. But they offered to put me under using gas whilst removing my teeth, though this meant I had to spend 2 nights in the hospital. when I woke up the next morning I felt no pain from the removal, and then the next weeks were taken up making my dentures (I did not go for the screw in types as I would have to frequent the dentists more often, also it would be like going to a garage for a service!). I now have the dentures which are perfect, and the whole process was painless with the politeness off the staff and service. I highly recommend the Thais on their dentistry and curtious professionalism. The cost for the process including the stay over and staff monitoring me when I was under was 97,000 Baht (2,300 GBP), bargain compared to the UK where it would have been 4 times the amount I paid!
in Thailand that are cheaper than the clinic is a private hospital Cheaper than private hospitals are public hospitals. And cheaper than government hospitals is the government health office where you can extract teeth for only 300-500 baht. Scaling limestone for only 150 baht And what you may not know about the cheapest and best dental treatments are in universities that offer dentistry. You will be treated by dental students but supervised by teachers and specialists. Sometimes it's a student internship. You will get a free oral exam and X-ray. and maintain at a very cheap price I think this content is worth doing is going to see dental clinics at universities. In Srinakharinwirot University where you used to do content there is also a dental clinic of that university. I think you might be interested😁😁🙏🙏
After a lifetime of dental butchery, often very expensive, at the hands of the British NHS I took a risk on getting dental help in Pattaya. My first experience was hard due to having all my black mercury amalgam fillings removed, four root canals, crowns and bridges. I had four long sessions. £2000. On a second trip I had old NHS crowns removed and some veneers. The dentist said "I make you beautiful smile". £1000. He wasn't wrong. I've been getting compliments ever since. I priced up all the work had I had it in the U.K. and France, where I now live, and it fell in the range of £14k-16k ! It paid for the best holidays of my life and 4 years later I've not had a single dental problem since.
Here is an FYI. I recently had a quote from a dentist in Australia for ONE dental implant $6,500 AUD that's 156,755 THB. I had a root canal done about 12 years ago and it cost around $2,500 AUD that's 60,290 THB so it would seem that dental prices are approx 25% of what they are here in Australia as a rule of thumb.
I’ve been going to Asavanant Dental Clinic on Thonglor for years for numerous procedures including implants, root canals and veneers. Facilities and prices are similarly top-notch. Their specialists are among the top practitioners in the country.
I had a scaling, Polish and fluoride treatment a couple of weeks ago here in Canada and since my benefits were used up for the year it cost $200. Usually it is just under $100. All funds CAD. So good price for you Chris and at a pretty professional place.
Iam from Russia, really interesting video Chris thank you. Our current prices are similar for x-rays (same level scanners) and implants, but early it was cheaper about 40%, sanctions makes life more expensive now :(
Thank you very much, Chris, for opening my eyes and my mind to a different view of Thailand. Please continue making more videos. I really enjoy them. I wish you much success in your youtubing venture! Thank you again, Chris 😊
Have had extensive dental work done in India 2017 and believe it to be about a quarter of the price of Thailand. From my investigations I believe Thailand is best for plastic surgery etc and India for Dental. India is about 18% versus 65% in Thailand. Had 7 implants, 6 root canals, 1 MRI, 3 CBCT, ALL German crowns full mouth and second set on bottom over 2 Trips in 2017 for $18k AUD OR $$12 K USD all up in including 2 Trips air fare and about 2 months accommodation in Kochin, Kerala.
Thank you so much for the conversion. Cleaning here in Calgary, Cana-der is about $350, filling about $3-500, crown $1300 and OOOOOOT canal is about $1500. So nervous about getting dental work done in Thailand, but this vid made it better!
i understand you. i'm thai and i get nervous every time i need a major dental work. overall, the dentists here are good but there are also a few sloppy ones. i had a bad experience with a retired state hospital dentist who worked part time at a private dental clinic. after that, i make sure the dentists doing a work on me are not too old and specialize in what i need.
It's almost like my experience a few months back. A clean and check plus fluoride was AU $175.00, the X-Ray was free thru Government medicare and the 3 fillings cost me about AU $465.00 so in Thai Baht that's roughly 15,500 Baht. I must add that the surgery I went to was no where near as luxurious looking as that place although the staff were just as friendly. Thanks for the info Chris and a look at Thai Dental centres.
@@johncleaver4245 I'm pretty sure I was able to just hand over my medicare card and get the X-ray on teeth and jaw for free (bulk billed) not at the dentist but down the street at another business who only do X-rays and imaging but the cleaning, fluoride and fillings I paid for myself. I had all 3 fillings (2 in 1 tooth) done on the same day so maybe that's why I paid what I did. Trying to be honest about the charges besides going thru bank statements I'm 95% sure that's what it cost me. Hope that helps mate?
@@johncleaver4245 All good buddy. You're sitting in Koh Samui at the moment? Mate I'm jealous of you. I could ask a few question of you at the moment one being why you felt the need to be so "puzzled" by my comment? I will say to quote a favourite movie of mine, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is "Chill Winston, chill". You and your wife are at a tropical paradise at the moment fully enjoy it.
I went to L.S.U Dental School in New Orleans La. for the same X Ray you had was $250. for the adjustment on my upper plate. I will come to Thailand to get an price on two more implants on my bottom plate.
These are prices of a private dental clinic (Plusterveys) here in Finland. (All amounts are in Euro). Dental check-up 85€ Dental x-ray, Bitewing image from the side 40€ Panoramic x-ray 113 € Dental filling, 1 surface 88€ Dental filling, 2 surfaces 146€ Dental filling, 3 surfaces 175€ Crown made of filling agent 223€ Opening and expanding root canals of a tooth, tooth with a single root canal 125€ Root filling, tooth with a single root canal 83€ Local anaesthetic 28€ Tooth removal 101 € Tartar removal at a dental hygienist’s appointment, 10-45 minutes 69-155€ Tartar removal at a dentist’s appointment, 10-45 minutes 60-224€.
I've had a lot of work done in Thailand. In three different cities and different dentist. Every time top quality service. And much better value for money. The last time I went to an Australian dentist it wasn't a good experience and then got a massive bill. I'll be getting a check up when I get back to Thailand for sure.
Dental Care In Thailand Pattaya PiDC Dr. Por is excellent I had a total implant whole mouth, I never felt any pain at all from the dental work and all injections. All treatment cost £9,000 I totally recommend
Please don't ignore high blood pressure. I got me knee checked out in Bangkok and I was told I was borderline hypertension. One day I almost pasted out on my feet after a average workout. Nose bleeds.. We just lost a famous youtuber last week from a heart attack. Get checked. You could be an inspiration for those who watch that video.
100 percent. If they mentioned it was a little high definitely get it tested again for peace of mind, disregarding it by assuming it's somehow down to nervousness because you're seeing the dentist or on camera as Chris suggested is a mistake.
Chris - Great Video - My mother was always keen for her children to visit the dentist twice a year. I haven't seen a dentist is 13 years, since I came to Asia. I'm 59 with not a single filling in my head. I'm a lucky guy!
Hi Chris, thanks for this, I've been looking into having implants ( full sets top and bottom, bone graft etc) and was quoted £28000 pounds sterling here in England (I'm pretty sure there are cheaper dentists here, but have only received the one quote so far), in Turkey I have it on very good authority that the implants are £6000 - £7000 (from someone who's had this done there) , hopefully I can obtain some kind of a price from their website link that youve provided , unless yourself or any of your other subs have a roundabout idea of cost which I would be very grateful for, adleweiss looks like a very professional establishment indeed, thanks for sharing, regards from England 🍺🍺👍👍
Dental care in Bangkok is really good. I go for checkups and whitening treatments and have always had great care. There are so many good dental facilities around that it's easy to get what you need.
Hi Chris, Can't wait to get a couple of things fixed up myself (p.s. don't do a plastic surgery vid as i don't want to see you with a set of DD'S 555 ) on a more personal note my daughters wedding is march next year and no destination wedding so unfortunately wont be looking at hiring moonstone just yet. Now Aiming for August 2023 to retire in Thailand and strongly considering Hua Hin to start as i know i can get free pork cheecks lol. take care and love the channel.
Prices a joke lol, I had a look on the website and root canal 14.5k baht, more expensive than I would pay in one of biggest English cities, at a best in the city private dentist practice. If I was traveling abroad for work there are much cheaper, safer and well trusted places within EU.
Hey Chris, I know it's a bit expensive compared to the small places, but how about a report on Heathland Asok? Just a few blocks from Terminal 21. Facilities like a hotel. Been there a number of times and always busy with a lot of couples.
I had some roots canals, etc. done back in 2016, I did them in Romania...... C$50 EACH !! A bridge was c$150. In Canada they wanted like $9000+ to do it, I actually needed more things done, however, but all in all, I got flights, accommodation for 18 days, and all dental work for a grand total of C$2100 !!!
Fantastic informative video Chris, Great Job. I'm amazed at how tolerant and inviting the staff was to let you keep filming. Their office facility is immaculate and so up to date. Hope you don't have to get to much work done on your choppers. Thanks again
FYI at Bangkok Hospital, they have the same-day cap. They use a CAD machine to cut the cap and you can have whatever procedure and they make the cap in 3 hours. One-day procedure. In 2003 I had my first dental work done in Phuket at Bangkok Hospital. My dentist said 5000 dollars and they did it for $750. So I had a great vacation with the rest of the money. Took a rebreather class, and played golf. I didn't really save any money because on spent it on vacation. Got a room for 12 dollars a night. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Chris, I would consider diet! Everyone's blood pressure goes up when they visit the dentist....or in some type of stressful situation (including at work where it can go unrecognized and is very dangerous). Some people's blood pressure goes up much more than others when seeing the doctor and dentist....and that would be White-Coat Syndrome. Mine can get as high as systolic 200 when I see the doctor or dentist....I do not feel stressed but that is just how it is with me. Shrug! That being said....if you take your blood pressure when you see the doctor and dentist and it is high then you should just go ahead and get yourself one of those automatic blood pressure devices and take your blood pressure at home.....correctly (there are many good videos and online articles on how to do it the right way). This should be done over several days...weeks to get rid of the anxiety factor even in your own home (the mere thought of taking your blood pressure and that it may be high can raise it artificially). If it remains high (normal is below systolic 120....but many doctors are not likely to start treatment unless you are above systoic130....even 140) then you should really be evaluated by an expert! Just remember, high blood pressure is not called the "silent killer" for nothing.....it kills and mains (strokes and heart attacks, etc). TRIVIA: 47% of adult Americans have high blood pressure but only 24% have it under control. A large number of these do not even know that they have high blood pressure.....aka walking time bombs! You can largely thank the American processed food industry for this....but workplace stress and sedentary lifestyles also play lesser roles.
My Periodontal appointment to have 2 implants is 5/17/2022 for #3 and #30 teeth, so here's my cost breakdown. 2 Implants $4668 ($2334 x 2). That's the same price it was almost 20 years ago. Sinus bump for #3 $517. After 3 months of healing return for 2nd surgery to uncover implants $293. 2 Porcelain Crowns $3686 ($1843 x 2), includes the crown post, and that's with a 5% discount if I pay cash or check. I've been paying for Periodontal insurance on top of my regular dental insurance for many years, about 50% of the surgical costs (sinus bump) and exams will paid by the insurance, but I do know that 0% of the cost will be paid on implants. I have to pay all out of pocket for the implants. The prices in Bangkok Dental are really good.
Dental care in Sweden is like in the Stone Age if you compare with Thailand. we think we are so good. canceled my dental visit on May 12th and they moved it to August 8th. How sick is it? 3 months to repair a tooth. which they have also divided into 2 visits. It will cost about 5500 sek = 550 $ us. Besides that, service in Thailand is by far the best. Talk about treating your customers well. Sweden lives on old merits.
That was unique for the first time. Amazing report and it was very helpful, very beneficial data and information. You did the right job. Well done mate, well done. Keep going reporting dental services that is very important for everyone.
Here in Japan i just did a root canal last week, took about 5 visits, but i spend about 10,000¥ total about U$75 Tbh 2650 With National health insurance, that i pay about U$200 a month… ( it covers 70/80% of all basic health and dental treatments)
In Vancouver Canada a root Canal at my dentist cost $1000, Crowns are unnecessary, its a gimmick that dentists use to make a lot of extra money, I have had 3 root canals and never got any crowns. Cleaning cost $196. All figures are Canadian Dollars so take off an extra 25% for Americans. I know similar treatment in the USA Bay Area is more then 3 times the cost. Important thing is that your dentist does not do unnecessary procedures no matter what you go, Canada, USA or Thailand, most dentist do tons of useless, money making procedures to make extra money, do your own research and due diligence. Cheers Great Video Chris
Been getting my teeth cleaned in Chiang Mai from same dentist for 5 years. Cleaning 600 BHT / $18.00 In California my dentist charges 4,000 BHT / $120.00
In 2019 when I was living in Switzerland I have to see the dentist. They told me have to removed 2 teeth. For all cost for remove and put 2 new teeth in they offer me 12000 Dollar!!! I say thanks and just fix my teeth wich have problem for 700 Dollar.
In the US, we paid almost 7,000 USD for a bone graft, implant, and crown recently. Root canals are typically 1,100 USD Porcelain crowns are typically 1,100 USD Exchange rate is 34.7 baht per USD, you do the math
3 Years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio Implants were quoted by one dentist at $6000 per implant TOTAL but I found another dentist to do an implant for $2900 TOTAL --- Cleaning from the least expense dentist is about $285 USD. --- may be less expensive dental services in Los Algodones, in Northern Mexico -- just across from the US border a small town has over 285 dental businesses serving a dental tourism clientele.
I've had several crowns done at Thantakit Dental Clinic's modern multi-story facility. Crown in US (Hawaii) was quoted at $1200, $857 with health insurance. In 2019 my crown at Thantakit came to $569. My dental insurance covered $332.16 for out of network treatment. I should add Thantakit also gives a 2-year warranty of their work and offers complimentary van pickup for clients.

Wow CP never actually thought about dental expenses while in the “ Land of Smiles “ but I can tell you this ! Last December not long after arriving in Khao Lak I suffered from large swelling to my lower jaw and chin area and had to seek a doctor to investigate what was wrong ! Turned out that I’d contracted some kind of mouth infection in my lower gum area totally out of the blue ! But the examination and administration of antibiotics for 5days with a follow up appointment was trouble free and the doctor could not have been nicer and sorted the problem out without the need to visit a hospital at a cost of only 2,500bhat which I thought was very reasonable for two appointments and medication 💊 👍
$35 for dental cleaning ? ? ?
that is highway robbery .
in China , and other Asian countries , it only costs $10
Thank you so very much for sharing this information, Chris. I greatly appreciate it. 🙏

I read their website and the sad fact is that their prices listed on that site are much higher than what they quoted to you on the video
@@dongshengdi773 Quality matey.
Dental care in the Thailand is by far better than any I ever had in the US. the awesome level of service you got in this video is the standard and those prices are pretty much on point with my experience as well.
Dana, what dental work have you gotten done in Thailand? You really think it's better than in the states?
@@streetfoodquest4198 I get a few cleanings yearly and I have had a two root canals done in Thailand. I also had emergency dental surgery a few years ago. All very positive and affordable experiences. I think in the US the quality of care isn't as good and the cost is crazy.
Dana, I totally agree. My wife and I had a tooth out, a bone graft and a screw in place for an implant in a few months for under 50% of what I would have paid in Chicago and 60% of what I would have paid in Sydney where we live now. And we’ve had crowns, root canals, veneers, etc. over the last 10 years and our visits to the Dental Hospital near Habito Mall over that time has paid for 2 vacations in what we have saved. Even better, many of the dentists are female with really small hands which is much more comfortable on your mouth!

I’m glad you found a good dentist! I have a similarly good dental provider in Bangkok and the prices are the same. So much cheaper in the U.S. and if you have cavities, they’ll usually fix them on the spot upon exam and cleaning instead of making another 1 or 2 appointments to come back and fix them!
As a retired European Dentist myself and as a dental patient as well, I concur with the overall opinion that dental care in thailand, overall, stands very high. 😊🙏🏻
But very painful! 🤣🤣 Thai dentists refuse to use other forms of sedation, only painful needles!!!

My whole family had detal work in Chiang Mai a number of years back and it worked out to be a about a quarter of the price back home in Melbourne. So well worth the visit if you have work needed and want to combine it with a holiday. The professsionalism and level of service was first class. We werent surpirsed. Thailand is world class in health care.
Smart young Thai students have to complete each other to get into Dentist Faculty.
It's so crazy how much healthcare is in America as I cannot speak about other western countries. Not to mentioned dental insurance of having to wait a whole year before they cover you 50% or 25% of the cost or nothing at all! What the hell am I paying you premiums every month for?? Oh yeah, it's so I only have to pay a $10 copay because it would cost me $150 for a check up and teeth cleaning if I didn't have insurance.
The treatment this guy had done in the video costs approx 100-250 within Melb, Aus....
Didn't know catching a return flight to Thailand was cheaper than that.... Plus your accomm.
Did you all need major work or something
For me, only a root canal, cavity and cleaning but coming back to do implants later this year.
same here... even with the cost of flights from Canada it is still cheaper to get major dental care done in Thailand.
Chris two things: first don’t ignore that blood pressure!
Second, 15 years ago my 20-year-old son flew to Thailand to have his wisdom teeth pulled because it was more expensive to get it done in California than it was to fly to Thailand and spend a week in Bangkok! I set everything up by email and even ask them if they would be sure to walk him down to his taxi to make sure he gave the diver the correct address for his hotel. He said the staff was wonderful and everything was very professional. So anytime you have big medical or dental procedures and want to justify a trip to Thailand the savings can basically cover your cost😍
My wife and I visit Thailand yearly. We decided to try a dental group recommended to us, and have since switched from USA to Thailand for our dental care.
The care we get is so much better than in the USA, it is almost unbelievable. And it is exactly like is explained here - inexpensive.
The problem, however, due to cv-19 we had to miss 2 years, but we were sure to see them this last February when we went through Bangkok.
We love the BIDC, however we could not get to them in the beginning of our trip and I had some dental discomfort so we ended up at the public hospital in Tha Sala (Nakhon Si Thammarat) and saw an excellent Dentist there as well. It wasn't as fancy as the BIDC - but they were so good - and (since it was a public hospital) everything, including antibiotics was less than $10.
You get good choice cause all dentists have to pass the test by the government dentist organization except the hospital building looks rather old.
@@insightwisdom7022
Have you been to the new hospital in Nakhon Si Thammarat?
It really is more spacious, but the parking is still terrible. :)

I do mine in Thailand 🇹🇭
ever since I visited Bangkok, I want to work so hard that I can retire there. I loved every bit of Bangkok. I look forward to going there again.
Dental treatment in Thailand is so easy to make an appointment (longest wait 2 weeks)mostly can walk in. Since I move to USA I have to make appointments over months 🙄
Yes, on my last visit I went in on Saturday for a check up. The dentist told me what needed doing and asked if I wanted to start treatment now !
I was in shock compared to the British NHS. I said I couldn't (I'd arranged to have dinner with my friend and his wife) so the dentist said tomorrow, Sunday. I said OK. The crowns and veneers were made overnight and on Monday it was all done. Even the temporary crowns and veneers were amazing even though only needed for 24 hrs !
Going thru that now
Nice Vlog Chris. Prices on par with my local dentist offices in Bangna and Udomsuk area. Funny though my cleaning was 900 baht but my wife and kiddo they charged 1,200. They said my teeth were cleaner and required less work 😁. Had a tooth pulled for 800 baht. Looking into an implant now. Price really varies depending on brand/country they import from.
Implanting is so expensive for Thais. But I just had 2 at 35000 each. The cheapest but I had the prof. Doctor did it for me. His craftsmanship is excellent.
@@jomontanee Mine will be more. Need a sinus lift and bone graft. I might just go without.
The dental clinics in Thailand are really good. BIDC (Bangkok International Dental Center) has been taking care of our family for over 10 years. We have tried everything from braces to root canals to implants. TOP !!! Assist. Prof. Dr. Preeda Pungpapong specializes in implants.
Had a wisdom tooth extracted there. I formally confirmed total cost before procedure. Dentist told me he predicts it will take 20 minutes. He was pleased it took a bit under 20 minutes. When I went to cashier to pay, the price had gone up about 33%. Confronted cashier who called dentist that had left already. Dentist told me more expensive because procedure was complicated. As a health care professional I asked him in what way because it actually took less time than predicted. He couldn't provide an answer but reverted to original quoted price. Be very weary of jacking up prices if you are not Thai especially in private or so called international clinics. There may a two tiered pricing system, one for Thai's and one for anyone else but make no mistake Thai's with money go to these places so it's not as if you are subsidizing dental care for the less fortunate. I have had mixed results in Bangkok with dentists. Some very competent, some competent? but lazy. I visited one upscale mall luxury dentist with a questionable dead tooth. The dentist just tapped on it. I had to direct the examination and specify that she check the tooth for viability using either heat or cold, the norm in dentistry. The dentist xrayed the tooth in question which was next to a tooth that had a root canal and crown. The dentist told me the adjacent tooth did not have a root canal. She sent me another x-ray. Upon leaving I asked for an xray copy to show to my Vienamese dentist that did the root canal and ask her what's up. The Thai dentist then told me they had first xrayed the wrong side and the root canal tooth in question did have a root canal done.
Incidentally while traveling in Vietnam I needed dental care. Let me say high quality very competent dentists with state of the art technology are readily available. A wisdom tooth root canal cost about 100usd. I have had 2 as well as multiple crowns porcelain fused metal, the same ones as done in Thailand for about 90 usd a piece. No lack of health care providers, DDS, MD in many countries view this two tiered pricing as bizarre and unethical.
@@silasketgaskets8709 Oh, I am so sorry that you had to pay so much more after the treatment. I would lose confidence too. Fortunately, I haven't experienced anything like that here. I can only share my experience. The invoice amount was always the final amount that the doctor had discussed with me beforehand. 🌻
Been getting my teeth done at BIDC for over 12 years. Can’t fault Thailand dentistry 😊
way expensive here in California, its a rip...... so want to return to Thailand. My sweetie died in Bangkok for 7 min and God rescued him through their services, they had robots help do the surgery to place a stint and when we returned back home, it felt like we were in a 3rd world country compared to the treatment we received in Bangkok!
The dental treatment in Thailand looks to be about or even less than 1/3 of the price in the US.
Love your channel!!! But this episode alerted me to write you a comment!!! Your #18 lower left side crown and root canal tooth has severe bone loss already. It has a active infection and the prognosis is poor. The Dentist didn’t mention this unless you edited it out of the video. I saw on your Panorex X-ray and the BWX.
Your chances of re-treating #18 with another root canal success is less than 50%! Your best bet is save the money and apply the expense to a Extraction, bone graph and implant if you want to restore it with another prosthetic tooth.
You are familiar with implants because you already have 2 existing ones on #30, #31 on your lower right side. There’s at least 3 options for you for dealing with #18. Different prices for different budgets of course. Full disclosure, I own and operate a dental office in San Francisco California for over 17 years. I’m just looking out for you.
My wife and I really enjoy all your videos! I wanted to be a little help back to you for your dental needs. Cheers!
Uh oh Chris, better listen.
Genius, thanks!
Underrated comment. Dentist from Germany here, wanted to write the same. If it was my tooth I would invest that money in an implant
This is some awesome content. My wife had the Invisalign done in Las Vegas and cost close to $5,600 out of pocket after insurance paid $1,500 which totals $7,100 in the US. I just had an implant done which consists of bone grafting and crown which cost out of pocket $4,800 and this after insurance paid out $1,500. Re-root canal costed $900 out of pocket after insurance. We got one of the better ones that's PPO. Thailand is not just cheap, it's fu.cking cheap. And Thailand looks like they have the latest equipments. Can't wait to head out. Sold the house, the Class A motorhome, my Jeep Wrangler and now just waiting on my wife to retire by end of this year so I can sell the Audi and get the hell out of here. Can't wait. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Terrific vlog, fun and very informative and pretty similar to my dentist in Chiang Mai. I once had my teeth whitened and they gave me a foot massage during the wait.
Really, Never heard about this before, wow, they try everything the can to make you back again.
Hi Chris, great informative Vlog again always full of your energy, I’ve just had my teeth cleaned and check in NaN ( North East Thailand ) my wife’s Province we paid 1000Bth each, I was lucky no serious problems, I’ve lived in Australia were it’s High Way Robbery to visit a dentist. I’ve always found Thai Dentist to be of high standard. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
Yes, Australia is insane priced
I had the best and least expensive dental work I've ever had in Thailand in 2010. And, as Chris said, they were extremely gentle as well as professional. I still brag about the Thai dentistry, especially when I visit a dentist in the U.S. The work has stood the test of time.
Great report Chris. I've been to BIDC (Bangkok International Dental Center) which has I believe 9 floors including their own dental lab making crowns and such and 1/2 a floor dedicated just for implement sterilization. Been there 3 times in the past and going back later this year for dental implants. International quality standards and half the price for implants that I would have to pay in the states. This place has a team of 6-7 dentists specializing in the various procedures like dental implants, Invisalign braces, etc. I figured a local surgeon here at home does maybe a dozen or so implants in a whole year whereas these guys do hundreds plus they have all the latest equipment. They charged me $6 for a regular x-ray and $27 for a full mouth x-ray. None of this crap at home with paying dental insurance and they either don't cover you until a year and even after that, probably only cover 50% of the cost. It'll cost me less with a great trip to Thailand to boot. Not to mention the $6-10 hour long awesome foot massages. Four star hotel cross the street for $45/night. Can't beat it.
BIDC is where we have gone as well, for the past 8 years! We highly recommend.
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
Which location , there are 3 in Bangkok? Thanks for the info.
@@thaidawg9231 I believe there's only one main location, a 7-story building on Ratchadeapisek Rd, not too far from the Swissotel Bangkok Ratchada. Take the MRT to the Thai Cultural Center stop. The other two in Bangkok are only clinics located in the shopping malls.
@@aging1847 Thank You !
Incredibly kind people. I love getting my dental work in Thailand, no insurance in US for me.
Thanks so much for this video, Chris! After getting poor dental care in the provinces, we went here and got A+ treatment. A dental implant with the best quality Swiss materials was less than half the price of the same thing in the US. The dentist who did the procedure is a teaching professor, attesting to the level of expertise at this clinic.
Thank you very much Steven. We are very happy to know that you had a great experience with us. Hope to welcome you again :)
To make it simple, take every dental treatment you can get in Thailand and multiply the cost by 10 and you have the price you’d have to pay in Canada.
It's crazy. Take the plane back and forth, plus the accommodation fee, the price is still cheaper than what I do in my country.
Well 78.000 baht which is 2000 USD approx for an implant is way too expensive I need 2 implant zirconia all zirconia in romania sit is li'e 600 hundred euros for two and zirconia crowns are 183 euros or less so just over 1000 euros for two implants crowns okay I thought it was way cheaper anyway will come after then take care and thanks for entertaining us
We always going to Thailand for the dentist; cleaner, less pain and cheaper than EU.
Well done answering one of the top questions people ask.What’s the cost and what level of care. My daughter broke her foot in Phuket a few years ago, first class treatment.
The price that Khun Kris showed for me is Thai. Thought it was a bit expensive, but traded for a nice looking place. Competent doctor. In Thailand, there are dental clinics that are cheaper than this. If you choose a clinic that has a location that is not very luxurious, but the treatment is not different for foreigners I think it's very easy You will find a dentist quickly and easily, no need to wait in line, I'm not sure if other countries, prices and convenience of seeing a doctor, which is better? because I have never visited a doctor abroad

I was in Bangkok and happened to have a removal of my sudden broken wisdom tooth on day one that I started my trip in Bangkok, So I have no choice and got myself a nice dental hospital like this one. The total cost was just 16,000B which is around 460USD to have 4 wisdom teeth removed. And the service is supreme, and I had no pain after all. No pills were taken. Back in my city HK, it would likely cost about 1,000USD or even more depending on the complexity.
I hated going to the dentist when I was living back in the UK. Having moved out here a few years ago, my teeth were in a terrible state. I decided to go to the local dentist and have them checked out, but because I was so nervous and jumpy they told me they could not work on me and suggested I go to Phitsanulok (Central Thailand and near where I live) to a private hospital that provided dental care. I booked an appointment and went along, I was very impressed with the place, the cleanliness and the staff were very gentle and caring, unlike the UK where you are treated as a item in a factory. After the X-rays and investigation of the bad teeth it was recommended that the teeth had to come out and dentures fitted. Because I hated dentists this filled me with dread. But they offered to put me under using gas whilst removing my teeth, though this meant I had to spend 2 nights in the hospital. when I woke up the next morning I felt no pain from the removal, and then the next weeks were taken up making my dentures (I did not go for the screw in types as I would have to frequent the dentists more often, also it would be like going to a garage for a service!). I now have the dentures which are perfect, and the whole process was painless with the politeness off the staff and service. I highly recommend the Thais on their dentistry and curtious professionalism. The cost for the process including the stay over and staff monitoring me when I was under was 97,000 Baht (2,300 GBP), bargain compared to the UK where it would have been 4 times the amount I paid!
in Thailand that are cheaper than the clinic is a private hospital Cheaper than private hospitals are public hospitals. And cheaper than government hospitals is the government health office where you can extract teeth for only 300-500 baht. Scaling limestone for only 150 baht And what you may not know about the cheapest and best dental treatments are in universities that offer dentistry. You will be treated by dental students but supervised by teachers and specialists. Sometimes it's a student internship. You will get a free oral exam and X-ray. and maintain at a very cheap price I think this content is worth doing is going to see dental clinics at universities. In Srinakharinwirot University where you used to do content there is also a dental clinic of that university. I think you might be interested😁😁🙏🙏
After a lifetime of dental butchery, often very expensive, at the hands of the British NHS I took a risk on getting dental help in Pattaya.
My first experience was hard due to having all my black mercury amalgam fillings removed, four root canals, crowns and bridges. I had four long sessions. £2000.
On a second trip I had old NHS crowns removed and some veneers. The dentist said "I make you beautiful smile". £1000.
He wasn't wrong. I've been getting compliments ever since.
I priced up all the work had I had it in the U.K. and France, where I now live, and it fell in the range of £14k-16k !
It paid for the best holidays of my life and 4 years later I've not had a single dental problem since.
Here is an FYI. I recently had a quote from a dentist in Australia for ONE dental implant $6,500 AUD that's 156,755 THB. I had a root canal done about 12 years ago and it cost around $2,500 AUD that's 60,290 THB so it would seem that dental prices are approx 25% of what they are here in Australia as a rule of thumb.
So...when u leaving for BK???😁

Have had extensive dental work done in India 2017 and believe it to be about a quarter of the price of Thailand. From my investigations I believe Thailand is best for plastic surgery etc and India for Dental. India is about 18% versus 65% in Thailand. Had 7 implants, 6 root canals, 1 MRI, 3 CBCT, ALL German crowns full mouth and second set on bottom over 2 Trips in 2017 for $18k AUD OR $$12 K USD all up in including 2 Trips air fare and about 2 months accommodation in Kochin, Kerala.
Thank you so much for the conversion. Cleaning here in Calgary, Cana-der is about $350, filling about $3-500, crown $1300 and OOOOOOT canal is about $1500. So nervous about getting dental work done in Thailand, but this vid made it better!
Nervous about what exactly? Better quality here
Canada prices are like Australia, drug money level
i understand you. i'm thai and i get nervous every time i need a major dental work. overall, the dentists here are good but there are also a few sloppy ones. i had a bad experience with a retired state hospital dentist who worked part time at a private dental clinic. after that, i make sure the dentists doing a work on me are not too old and specialize in what i need.

It's almost like my experience a few months back. A clean and check plus fluoride was AU $175.00, the X-Ray was free thru Government medicare and the 3 fillings cost me about AU $465.00 so in Thai Baht that's roughly 15,500 Baht. I must add that the surgery I went to was no where near as luxurious looking as that place although the staff were just as friendly. Thanks for the info Chris and a look at Thai Dental centres.
Dental isn’t covered by Medicare in Australia ? Last filling we payed for was for my daughter and was around $400…one filling.
@@johncleaver4245 I'm pretty sure I was able to just hand over my medicare card and get the X-ray on teeth and jaw for free (bulk billed) not at the dentist but down the street at another business who only do X-rays and imaging but the cleaning, fluoride and fillings I paid for myself. I had all 3 fillings (2 in 1 tooth) done on the same day so maybe that's why I paid what I did. Trying to be honest about the charges besides going thru bank statements I'm 95% sure that's what it cost me. Hope that helps mate?

And much better value for money.
The last time I went to an Australian dentist it wasn't a good experience and then got a massive bill.

Hi Chris, thanks for this, I've been looking into having implants ( full sets top and bottom, bone graft etc) and was quoted £28000 pounds sterling here in England (I'm pretty sure there are cheaper dentists here, but have only received the one quote so far), in Turkey I have it on very good authority that the implants are £6000 - £7000 (from someone who's had this done there) , hopefully I can obtain some kind of a price from their website link that youve provided , unless yourself or any of your other subs have a roundabout idea of cost which I would be very grateful for, adleweiss looks like a very professional establishment indeed, thanks for sharing, regards from England 🍺🍺👍👍
Dental care in Bangkok is really good. I go for checkups and whitening treatments and have always had great care. There are so many good dental facilities around that it's easy to get what you need.
Hi Chris, Can't wait to get a couple of things fixed up myself (p.s. don't do a plastic surgery vid as i don't want to see you with a set of DD'S 555 ) on a more personal note my daughters wedding is march next year and no destination wedding so unfortunately wont be looking at hiring moonstone just yet. Now Aiming for August 2023 to retire in Thailand and strongly considering Hua Hin to start as i know i can get free pork cheecks lol. take care and love the channel.
Prices a joke lol, I had a look on the website and root canal 14.5k baht, more expensive than I would pay in one of biggest English cities, at a best in the city private dentist practice. If I was traveling abroad for work there are much cheaper, safer and well trusted places within EU.
Hey Chris, I know it's a bit expensive compared to the small places, but how about a report on Heathland Asok? Just a few blocks from Terminal 21. Facilities like a hotel. Been there a number of times and always busy with a lot of couples.
Funny name Edelweiss 😃It,s a German flower in the mountains of Bavaria
I had some roots canals, etc. done back in 2016, I did them in Romania...... C$50 EACH !! A bridge was c$150. In Canada they wanted like $9000+ to do it, I actually needed more things done, however, but all in all, I got flights, accommodation for 18 days, and all dental work for a grand total of C$2100 !!!
Fantastic informative video Chris, Great Job.
I'm amazed at how tolerant and inviting the staff was to let you keep filming. Their office facility is immaculate and so up to date.
Hope you don't have to get to much work done on your choppers.
Thanks again
Omg root canals are so expensive so how much is an implant with the zirconia crown wished you had asked for me
FYI at Bangkok Hospital, they have the same-day cap. They use a CAD machine to cut the cap and you can have whatever procedure and they make the cap in 3 hours. One-day procedure. In 2003 I had my first dental work done in Phuket at Bangkok Hospital. My dentist said 5000 dollars and they did it for $750. So I had a great vacation with the rest of the money. Took a rebreather class, and played golf. I didn't really save any money because on spent it on vacation. Got a room for 12 dollars a night. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Chris, I would consider diet!
Everyone's blood pressure goes up when they visit the dentist....or in some type of stressful situation (including at work where it can go unrecognized and is very dangerous). Some people's blood pressure goes up much more than others when seeing the doctor and dentist....and that would be White-Coat Syndrome. Mine can get as high as systolic 200 when I see the doctor or dentist....I do not feel stressed but that is just how it is with me. Shrug!
That being said....if you take your blood pressure when you see the doctor and dentist and it is high then you should just go ahead and get yourself one of those automatic blood pressure devices and take your blood pressure at home.....correctly (there are many good videos and online articles on how to do it the right way). This should be done over several days...weeks to get rid of the anxiety factor even in your own home (the mere thought of taking your blood pressure and that it may be high can raise it artificially). If it remains high (normal is below systolic 120....but many doctors are not likely to start treatment unless you are above systoic130....even 140) then you should really be evaluated by an expert!
Just remember, high blood pressure is not called the "silent killer" for nothing.....it kills and mains (strokes and heart attacks, etc).
TRIVIA: 47% of adult Americans have high blood pressure but only 24% have it under control. A large number of these do not even know that they have high blood pressure.....aka walking time bombs!
You can largely thank the American processed food industry for this....but workplace stress and sedentary lifestyles also play lesser roles.
My Periodontal appointment to have 2 implants is 5/17/2022 for #3 and #30 teeth, so here's my cost breakdown. 2 Implants $4668 ($2334 x 2). That's the same price it was almost 20 years ago. Sinus bump for #3 $517. After 3 months of healing return for 2nd surgery to uncover implants $293. 2 Porcelain Crowns $3686 ($1843 x 2), includes the crown post, and that's with a 5% discount if I pay cash or check. I've been paying for Periodontal insurance on top of my regular dental insurance for many years, about 50% of the surgical costs (sinus bump) and exams will paid by the insurance, but I do know that 0% of the cost will be paid on implants. I have to pay all out of pocket for the implants. The prices in Bangkok Dental are really good.
this was a great video!!!!
it would cost me bankruptcy in America
Hi Bill in UK how much would it cost for a full set of teeth top and bottom implants in English pounds and Thailand batts

Dental care in Sweden is like in the Stone Age if you compare with Thailand. we think we are so good. canceled my dental visit on May 12th and they moved it to August 8th. How sick is it? 3 months to repair a tooth. which they have also divided into 2 visits. It will cost about 5500 sek = 550 $ us. Besides that, service in Thailand is by far the best. Talk about treating your customers well. Sweden lives on old merits.
As long as YOU are going through the procedure i can watch all day 555
That was unique for the first time. Amazing report and it was very helpful, very beneficial data and information. You did the right job. Well done mate, well done. Keep going reporting dental services that is very important for everyone.
Here in Japan i just did a root canal last week, took about 5 visits, but i spend about 10,000¥ total about U$75 Tbh 2650
With National health insurance, that i pay about U$200 a month… ( it covers 70/80% of all basic health and dental treatments)
I had dental work done in Thailand. Much cheaper then U.S. I was lucky to have a young pretty female dentist. Thai people are great.
I've been going to Smile Clinic (before the pandemic) for my cleanings. X-rays and cleaning for 1500 baht and my dentist studied at Boston University.
In Vancouver Canada a root Canal at my dentist cost $1000, Crowns are unnecessary, its a gimmick that dentists use to make a lot of extra money, I have had 3 root canals and never got any crowns.
Cleaning cost $196. All figures are Canadian Dollars so take off an extra 25% for Americans.
I know similar treatment in the USA Bay Area is more then 3 times the cost. Important thing is that your dentist does not do unnecessary procedures no matter what you go, Canada, USA or Thailand, most dentist do tons of useless, money making procedures to make extra money, do your own research and due diligence.
Cheers Great Video Chris
Been getting my teeth cleaned in Chiang Mai from same dentist for 5 years. Cleaning 600 BHT / $18.00 In California my dentist charges 4,000 BHT / $120.00
I also recommend All About Teeth in Bangkok 💙
Chris can you get dental treatment if you are a visitor?
yep, you sure can.
In 2019 when I was living in Switzerland I have to see the dentist. They told me have to removed 2 teeth. For all cost for remove and put 2 new teeth in they offer me 12000 Dollar!!! I say thanks and just fix my teeth wich have problem for 700 Dollar.
Thanks Chris, would like to see more of this kind of video.
Oh man, you are great :) :) :) I smiled a lot :) :) :)
Thanks! 😃
In the US, we paid almost 7,000 USD for a bone graft, implant, and crown recently.
Root canals are typically 1,100 USD
Porcelain crowns are typically 1,100 USD
Exchange rate is 34.7 baht per USD, you do the math
AUD7,500 for an implant and a crown in Sydney.
Thank you very much for doing this video.
3 Years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio Implants were quoted by one dentist at $6000 per implant TOTAL but I found another dentist to do an implant for $2900 TOTAL ---
Cleaning from the least expense dentist is about $285 USD. --- may be less expensive dental services in Los Algodones, in Northern Mexico -- just across from the US border a small town has over 285 dental businesses serving a dental tourism clientele.
Got two root canals two years ago.....$3k USD......two Caps $5k USD. I could have come to Thailand and spent two months in first class accommodations.
I've had several crowns done at Thantakit Dental Clinic's modern multi-story facility. Crown in US (Hawaii) was quoted at $1200, $857 with health insurance. In 2019 my crown at Thantakit came to $569. My dental insurance covered $332.16 for out of network treatment. I should add Thantakit also gives a 2-year warranty of their work and offers complimentary van pickup for clients.
I use Thantakit. Good surgery.
Liking the Dental vid. Looking forward to being there in July. Do you know a good place for dental in Chiang mai?
in usa dentist are real ruthless ,charges are very high
Your local dentist thanks you for your sugar consumption in sweets and other meals that is omnipresent and unrestrained in the kingdom of smiles. Drink milk, not Leo ( beer is high in acidity and promotes cavities ) please also check the receding gum line between your two front teeth
root canal is way way too expensive there
