I had some work done while on vacation in Thailand and it was a pleasant surprise with the work they did on my teeth, what was even better was the bill. If I would have to pay for the work in the States that they did I would be maybe done with 10,000. bucks but I had my whole mouth done with procelain caps, repair work, gum medicine, cavaties, a coupe teeth pulled for less then 3,000 US$. Who can beat that?
You know what they say about "cheap and nasty" it is usually true. I work in a dental surgey and have done so for many years, so I have seen alot of work done overseas. Although this work may be esthetically pleasing and easy on the hip pocket, you will probably find you will spend more time and money on fixing the problems created by unsatisfactory dental work that you had done overseas. Usually they use inferior metal, porcelain etc, for there crown & bridge work, there margins around the work is usually not "sealed" properley, which will allow secondary caries to develop over time. I would not recommend getting this done. And who knows what there hygiene standards are like, I don't think they would reach the standard requirements. goodluck
I am going to Thailand and would like any recommendations for some general dental work. Anybody had any experience with specific Dentists? good or bad .... Thxs!
