Getting dental treatment in Phuket is a great option for those who need more cost-effective dental care. In Phuket, dentists have the skills and experience to perform procedures to a high standard and do so at much more affordable prices than in the west. However, you need to select the right clinic for you, and undergoing treatment at a reputable clinic will provide peace of mind. The following guide will help you select a world-class clinic for your dental treatment:
Selecting the Right Clinic
Selecting a clinic for dental treatment in Phuket is straightforward with the help of Dentists in Phuket. We undertake stringent checks to ensure the quality of care including the verification of the doctor’s qualifications, checks on legal documents, and even an on-site visit to check that international hygiene standards are enforced.
The following clinics have been highly recommended by past patients:
- Sea Smile Dental Clinic is part of the Malo Clinic Partnership, one of the world’s biggest dental networks. You can have follow-up treatment around the world with this group.
- B. Dental Care Clinic has a specialist implant center and is popular with international patients due to its location inside the Jungceylon Shopping Center.
- New Smile Dentists have been serving local and international patients for over 20 years and is located around one of the most popular areas for tourists, Patong Beach.
- Patong Smile Dental Clinic is located at a few minutes’ walk from the Patong beachfront.
Selecting Accommodation
Phuket has an excellent tourist infrastructure with an international airport and numerous hotels and resorts. Dentists in Phuket recommend you stay in accommodation close to the clinic as traffic can be a problem. If you are travelling for a minor procedure like dental fillings or crowns, this should not make much of a difference. However, having lodging close to the clinic will be helpful if you are travelling for implants as that is invasive so you will need to rest before you travel back home.
How Much Can You Save?
Dental treatment is much less expensive in Phuket than in the west, as shown in the comparison below:
Dental Crowns
- Australia: AUD 1,505
- New Zealand: NZD 1,545
