One of the main reasons why Thailand has become such a hotbed of medical tourism is the incredibly low cost. Obviously, the nation has also benefited from improved standards but it is the price that is ultimately seen as being right. However, just how cheap is a visit to a Bangkok dental clinic in comparison to other nations?

Quick Pricing Table

The prices below are estimates (and in U.S. Dollars) and can vary depending on the dental clinic you choose in Bangkok.

Treatment	Thailand Cost	Australia Cost
Fillings	$24	$100
Root Canal	$200	$1,000+
Implants	$900	$4,300
Metal Braces	$1,200	$3,200
Porcelain Veneers	$260 (per tooth)	$830 (per tooth)
Acrylic Dentures	$400 per jaw	$700+ per jaw

In most cases, the difference in pricing is absolutely astounding. The root canal estimate for example for Australia is on the low end of the scale and is often $2,000 depending on where you get your treatment. In a Bangkok dental clinic on the other hand, paying $200 for the treatment is not unusual.

Versatility

The above table only really scratches the surface; you can have almost any treatment for your teeth that you can think of in a Bangkok dental clinic. You can pop into a clinic for a quick and easy procedure such as teeth whitening, cleaning or fillings or else you can book an appointment for a more detailed procedure such as implants or bridges.

Since the dentists hired by dental clinics in Bangkok are usually educated in the West, you can expect a high standard of treatment. This means world class equipment in sanitized surroundings; just make sure you choose a reputable clinic such as PMDC Dental Clinic. Avoid backroom practitioners and look for a well known location that has scores of satisfied clients as proof of its quality.
