Dental Tourism in Thailand: Published Prices and What to Check
Hospital price lists for implants, crowns, veneers and root canals in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket, plus how to check credentials and plan staged treatment.
A single dental implant with a crown costs ฿47,000 to ฿85,000 at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, depending on the implant brand, and the hospital’s own package page says so in black and white. That is a published price from a named hospital, which is more than most dental tourism marketing offers.
This guide uses hospital price lists, not agent quotes, to show what common treatments cost in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. It also covers how to check a dentist’s credentials and what staged treatment means for your travel plans.
How we chose
We used price lists published by Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket, because they give figures in baht with a stated validity date. We used one US-focused cost site for a rough comparison with the United States. We did not rank clinics. Prices change, and the Phuket list below had already passed its stated validity date, so treat all figures as a starting point and ask for a written quote.
What it costs
| Treatment | Bangkok Hospital, Bangkok | Bangkok Hospital Pattaya | Bangkok Hospital Phuket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implant with crown | ฿65,000 (Straumann Neodent) to ฿133,700 | ฿47,000 to ฿85,000 per tooth | ฿55,000 Korean or ฿80,000 European per unit (crown not stated) |
| Crown | ฿19,500 to ฿32,000 | Not listed | ฿13,000 to ฿20,000 |
| Porcelain veneer | ฿16,000 to ฿18,000 | Not listed | ฿12,000 or ฿15,000 |
| Root canal (molar) | ฿19,000 to ฿20,000 | Not listed | ฿14,000 to ฿16,000 |
| Scaling and polishing | ฿1,800 to ฿2,700 | Not listed | ฿1,500 to ฿2,000 |
| Validity | To 31 Dec 2026 | To 31 Dec 2026 | To 31 Dec 2025 |
The Bangkok list shows ranges and does not say what places a patient within them. Its implant price depends on the system: Straumann Neodent is fixed at ฿65,000, Straumann Roxolid ranges from ฿94,000 to ฿123,200, and the BLX system from ฿109,500 to ฿133,700. In Pattaya the hospital lists Straumann at ฿77,000 to 85,000, Hiossen at ฿59,000, Neodent and Osstem at ฿57,000 and Neo Biotech at ฿47,000.
Phuket’s list adds a bone graft at ฿20,000 to 30,000, a sinus lift at ฿40,000 to 50,000 and in-office whitening at ฿10,000. All-on-4 with an acrylic bridge is listed at ฿250,000 to 320,000. A simple extraction costs ฿1,500 to 2,000 and a surgical one ฿3,000 to 7,000.
What the lists show side by side
On the published lists, the lowest implant price is Pattaya’s ฿47,000 for the Neo Biotech system, against ฿65,000 for the cheapest option in Bangkok. Phuket’s crown range of ฿13,000 to 20,000 sits below Bangkok’s ฿19,500 to 32,000, but that list had expired. Brand, hospital and date all move the number, so compare like with like before you read anything into the gap.
How that compares with home
Real Dental Costs, a US-focused guide reviewed in May 2026, estimates a single implant with crown at US$1,200 to 2,500 in Thailand against US$3,000 to 5,000 in the United States. It says the implant figure is an editorial estimate, not collected prices. Treat it as indicative only. The hospital figures above are in baht, so the saving depends on the exchange rate on the day you pay.
What a package price leaves out
Bangkok Hospital Pattaya’s implant package lists three inclusions: a 3D treatment planning system, a surgical guide and treatment by specialist implant dentists. The page does not say what the crown is made of, or whether bone grafting, anaesthesia, follow-up care or a warranty is covered. It does not give the number of visits either. The hospital directs enquiries to its chat and email links.
That is typical of a price list, and it is why an itemised quote matters. Two quotes can look similar while one leaves out a graft or a follow-up visit.
Check the dentist, not just the clinic
Thailand’s Dental Council registers dental practitioners under the Dental Profession Act of 1994. It can suspend or revoke a licence. Its website lists a “Find Dentist” link and a phone number, (+66) 2 580 7500, and we could not confirm how the lookup works. Ask the clinic for the dentist’s licence number and name, then check with the council.
Hospital accreditation is a separate matter. Our guide to JCI and Thai HA accreditation explains how to check a hospital’s status. A dental unit inside an accredited hospital is not automatically covered by that accreditation, so ask what the accreditation covers.
One clinic’s own safety checklist advises asking about sterilisation, warranty, records and aftercare, and sending recent X-rays before your visit. That clinic gives no outcome data, so ask for it.
Plan for time, not just price
Implants are staged. One long-established Bangkok clinic says the crown is fitted two to six months after the implant is placed and that healing time varies. Real Dental Costs says All-on-4 usually needs two visits. If you live abroad, you may need two trips, or a local dentist to finish the work.
Ask who fixes a problem after you fly home. Ask what the warranty covers, and get the answer in writing. Keep your X-rays, treatment plan and receipts.
Know before you go
- Get a written, itemised quote that names the implant brand and crown material.
- Confirm whether the crown is in the implant price. Phuket’s list does not say.
- Ask about the validity date, since prices on these pages expire.
- Dental work is a medical procedure. Talk to your own dentist or doctor before you travel, and tell the clinic about your medical history and any medicines you take.
A lower price only helps if the work lasts. Ask how the clinic handles problems before you ask for a discount.
