What are the types of treatment that I can receive in Thailand?
Dentists in Thailand embraces a wide scope of treatments and you can basically receive any type of treatment as could at your home. Your chosen practitioners in Bangkok or Phuket are just as capable of doing the same dental procedures but for 50%-60% less. From minor prophylaxis and fillings to vaneers, gum grafting,bone grafting, Zygomatic implants,comprehensive rehabilitation, Orthognathic Surgery and after care. However, time is essential in every treatment phase, and this will only be limited by you and your ability to travel to Thailand for treatment. Treatment scope can only be affected/limited by your schedule or itinerary.
Specialized treatment like orthodontics (teeth re-alignment and bite correction), this usually entails periodic returns to the orthodontist. Therefore, this is not viable for dental tourists visiting Thailand, as you would be required to attend to your appointments on a regular basis from a span of 18 to 24 months and can even go beyond depending upon the severity of your case.
How much savings does dental treatment in Thailand equate to?
There is no exact amount of savings that we can guarantee, as this is fully dependent on the treatment plan that you require. On a general scale, however, most patients have professed saving up to 50% or more, most especially in extensive or complex cases.
Why is it that dental treatments in Thailand appears to be cheaper?
Thailand offering inexpensive treatment usually because of the lower costs of living and labor. This equates to lower overhead expenses including rent, utilities, materials, laboratory fees, labor costs, and office management costs; hence, the lower treatment costs that are passed on to you.
The laboratory materials and equipment made use of abroad – are they just as good?
Yes, because whether you’re at home or abroad, it is common practice for practitioners and laboratories to make use of materials and services that are imported from abroad. This is usually made obvious by the time in between a previous and future appointment. Note that, at times, the spacing seems to be quite long. This is because your dentist may have sought the services of laboratories abroad; hence, the longer waiting time. All our equipment is Authentic with international certifications as proof of their excellent craftsmanship and high quality of raw laboratory materials and warranties.
In terms of state-of-the-art equipment, let’s face it – not all countries manufacture specialized dental equipment. The rapid changing times also require dental gadgets to be upgraded frequently because of new discoveries. Which is why a lot of dentists in Thailand purchase equipment form Japan,Korea and the United States, as these can provide their clinics with modern equipment that, in turn, will be of extreme benefit to patients.
Is there a need to inform my dentist at home?
Yes your should. On both ethical and personal standpoints, this is necessary. For one, you will most likely need to obtain your diagnostic records like x-rays or recent dental report from your home dentist. You can’t simply get them from your dentist’s assistant – your dentist should be fully aware of this. It may not be his business if you choose to obtain treatment abroad as that is completely a personal choice, but the materials that are critical for your future treatment abroad and are in custody of your home dentist must be used with his knowledge and permission.
What about discounts? Will there be discounts for all your procedures?
