hawaiijohn Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I just went to my dentist here in Hawaii who wants $950 for a root canal and a crown. Since I'm coming to BKK next month, I thought about having the work done there at what I assume would be considerably less expense. Still, it's a tricky procedure and I was wondering what the experience is like with dentists for people living in Bangkok and what they would recommend.

Old Hippie Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 $950 for a root canal and a crown? this is cheap! usually around $1000 for root canal and another $1000 for crown, if you are lucky and have any insurance, maybe they will cover 1/2... Do a search, there has been a lot of discussion on this topic. There is/was a good dentist in the basement of the Landmark, Dr. Ladda? and also Soi 49 dental clinic... Good work is not cheap in LOS, but definitely cheaper than in the USA. Also, Burumgrad (SP) hospital has a dental clinic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I had a good experience with the President Park Dental Clinic on Sukhumvit Soi 24 across from the Pres. Park Hotel. Dentist got his degree from Tufts in Boston. My crown made of the best material (I forget the name) cost about $300.00 complete. That have a price list they can fax to you.

rickfarang Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 On Thursday, I had a damaged crown repaired in-place. It took 45 minutes for the dentist to paintakingly add all the layers of the repair and adjust the bite. The cost was a staggering $24.90. The entire process, starting with walking into the hospital cold and leaving after having paid my bill was just under an hour. No pain, no hassle, quick and good. I think this cost only about 1/2 of what I would have paid at Bumrungrad (based on earlier repairs). I highly recommend this dentist. She speaks good English and seemed to mre more interested in doing the right thing for me than running up the bill. She even gave me a 6 month gurantee after she finsihed. She is Nusara Siritanikonr, D.D.S. (ask for Dentist Nusara) Thai Nakarin Hospital 345 Banga-Trad Road Km 3.5 Bangna, Bangkok 10260 Telephone 0-2361-2727, 0-2361-2728 fax 0-2361-2777, 0-2361-2888 They are just past Central Bangna ("Centon Bangna" for the taxi driver). Good luck. RickF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
