dental work in bkk
 

Kathy ,I seem to remember way back that Bumrungrad was the best clinic ,does that still hold true ,My Husband is thinking of getting implants.thanks for any help . crewe

There are many excellent medical facilities in Bangkok. I like Bumrungrad and that's where I get dental work done in Bangkok. Is it the "best"? I don't know. It's the only one I've tried.

Same here. I've only used Bumrungrad. But other people have gone elsewhere and been happy with the result. Bumrungrad is internationally known... I feel more comfortable there than just picking a dental clinic along the street. If you have a different one in mind, you might post here and see if anyone is familiar with it. Otherwise, I'd probably stick with B.

Implants do take quite a bit of time... and no, I've not had them done. If I'm not mistaken, you would probably have to make a couple of trips to BKK to get that procedure done. "Planting" the new teeth I believe is done after the gum/jaw has healed from the surgical procedure of putting in the "screws" (if that's what they are called). I don't have first hand experience with that, but it is what I understand to be the case.

Thanks that is a great help.

Implants are a big deal. In addition to having to wait for the post(s) to heal before getting the crown(s), it's possible that he might have to have a bone graft before even placing the posts. This is much more likely if the patient's had a tooth that's been missing for a while, as the bone in the jaw will be resorbed if there's been no tooth there for a while. I had a single implant (and did require a graft, with which I experienced an unusual amount of pain and swelling) and the entire procedure took months. My husband had two adjacent implants and didn't require a bone graft to start, but it still took quite a while.

we had some limited experiences with dental last nov. at B... we were very impressed... it was not implants, but rather a crown... in the end we did not have it done because of a lack of time... also based on a $1500. US cost it was only $400. cheaper in bkk
