Dentists in Phuket & dental clinics
Dentists in Phuket are among the best in Thailand, having generally been trained overseas and employing the latest techniques for achieving the best results. Phuket dental clinics and hospitals are well set up to deal with foreign medical tourists and prices are excellent.
As a result you’ll see plenty of local dentists advertising non-essential dental work in the tourist magazines and it’s a great idea to spend a morning having the kids dentures checked up on. When you see the prices you’ll soon talk yourself into teeth whitening and can finally stomach the bill for that crown work you’ve been putting off for ages. A clean and polish will cost about US$20, with another $20 for each filling or extraction.
Teeth whitening in Phuket
You can have your teeth whitened in Phuket via laser treatment or go for a gel and applicator set from dentists in Phuket. The laser treatment has the best and fastest results and can be done in one or two sittings, costing about US$450. This is quite a bit more than the do-it-yourself gels and dentures method that is only $100.
A new teeth whitening method involves bleaching using gel and a UV light, which can be done in one or two sessions of an hour for about $250, regardless which you choose the results are all satisfactory and certainly make a big difference to your smile, and it’s all much cheaper than back home.
Dental crowns in Phuket
Also known as dental caps, dental crowns in Phuket are one of the most common dental treatments for medical tourists, either for aesthetic appearances or for structural reasons. You can choose from plastic, metal or porcelain compounds and have a superb job done in just a few visits. These are made in local laboratories to international standards and cost as little as $150 each, ready within days.
