Soins dentaires "lourds" en Thaïlande

Bonjour bonjour,
Voila, comme je vais bientot repartir dans la région, je veux en profiter pour faire une opération que je devrais faire en france mais qui est hors de prix;
J'ai un défaut de naissance et il me manque 4 dents définitives (triste pour mon age oui...) déja deux se sont fait la male, ce qui me laisse 2 trous et 2 dents de lait "dans les dents" 😄
Donc il faudrait que je fasse une opération assez "lourde" qui consiste sous anhéstésie génerale a me faire arracher les 2 dents de lait, et poser 4 implants en résine pour remplacer les dents manquantes, en france il me semble qu'une dent coutait 20 000 francs à l'époque... (et donc pas remboursé par la mutuelle of course)
Et comme la thailande est un pays réputé mondiallement pour les soins dentaires, je me demandais si quelqu'un ici avait déja fait une opération comme ca? si il avait un hopital et un spécialiste a me conseiller? et me renseigner sur les coûts. J'ai un peu peur de tomber sur des charlatans, oui en thailande quand on demande ils savent tout faire...tant qu'on paie !
Merci a vous!
Merci a vous!
Bonjour .....
Je suis client fidèle de la clinique Asavanant sur Sukhumvit, chaudement recommandé par le membre Chriscool sur son site .... avec mon amie nous y avons fait de nombreux soins dentaires de toutes sortes, excepté les implants il est vrai, et nous y retournons de nouveau début Février ..... cette clinique est doté d'un matériel dernier cri, l'hygiène y est de premier ordre, et les tarifs y sont réellement doux comparés à la France, et puis en quelques jours tu peux déjà avoir fait un nombre considérable de soins qui te prendrait des mois ici chez nous .....
Tu dois pouvoir trouver le site internet sur Google relativement facilement, ou sur le site de Chriscool ...... maintenant y étant en Février je peux demander certains renseignements pour toi si tu le désires, s'il n'est pas trop tard ......
Mais il doit également exister d'autres établissements que d'autres forumistes t'indiqueront certainement .....
Cordialement ....

Ah merci a toi; enfin une réponse 😉
Merci beaucoup je vais faire des recherches sur cette clinique, et j'ai déja demandé a des amies thai de se renseigner pour moi sur les différentes clinqiues a Bangkok, j'attends. Pourrais tu me donner un rapport de prix par rapport a la france? comme 2x moins cher ou 4x? (je dis ca au hazard je n'en ai aucune idée). Pas de soucis pour le mois de février, je compte bien rester 5-6mois encore dans la région donc j'aurais tout le temps pour comparer sur place, mais je demande avant ici c'est vrai, pour bénéficier des expériences des aurtes vfiste, ca ne fait jamais de mal...
Bien content que tu m'aies répondu Alan, merci encore 😉 je vais étudier tout ca.

Alors tu auras une liste mais sur Chiangmai, entre parentheses moins cher qu'a Bangkok ou les coins a touristes ! sur cette liste 2 a remarquer 1)special dental clinic, faculty of dentistry.L'universite donc, ici se trouve les meilleurs specialistes hospitaliers, c'est l'hopital universitaire (CHU) comme on dirait en France et il y a des lits d'hospitalisation. 2)le dental hospital ( celui qui a un mail, pas l'autre), pareil lits d'hospitalisation et les specialistes universitaires du precedent y viennent en heures sup, celui ci est prive. Mais avant au cas, pour pas te faire raconter n'importe quoi, si tu montes jusque la tu me diras et je t'indiquerais un dentiste thai excellent qui saura te dire ce qu'il y a a faire exactement selon ton cas parce qu'il n'y a peut-etre pas forcement besoin d'implants imperativement mais un bridge pour couvrir les trous de 3/4/5 dents manquantes peut suffire en prenant comme pivot les 2 dents saines de chaque cote.Moi c'est ce qui a ete fait. Personnellement en France pour les travaux dentaires effectues en Thailande j'en aurais eu pour le moins cher a 18.000 euros !!!! ( si je compte 600 euros la dent en France)ici ca m'a coute 3000 euros !

Combien de fois moins cher ...... ? là de suite difficile à dire, puisque la dernière fois c'était en Février 2006 et il faudrait que je ressorte mes factures ..... maintenant je me rappelle que nous avions trouvé celà vraiment trés peu cher comparé à chez nous, mais surtout avec une qualité de soins quasiment supérieure à chez nous, et surtout la rapidité de ceux ci puisqu'ils font beaucoup de travail dentaire en trés peu de temps ......
Salut, merci a toi aussi, je vai zieuter tout ca;
De toute facon je vais encor bouger un peu de partout, donc tot ou tard j'irais dane le nord vers chaing mai.
Oui un bridge....pesonnellement ca ne me dit rien, je préfère quand même avoir des implants...après c'est sur que ca coute plus cher mais bon.
Enfin je me souviens qu'a l'époque un spécialiste en france m'avait recommandé les implants, après peut ête qu'il voulait simplement "se vendre", il faudrait que j'aille voir un spécialiste francais avant de partir, voir son avis, et comparer en Thailande.
Oui 3000 au lieu de 18 000 ...je crois qu'il n'y a même pas a réfléchir...
Je veux bien l'adresse de ton dentiste thai? j'irais le voir si tu me dis qu'il est sérieux.
Merci a toi!

Je te disais ca parce qu'a ton age outre le prix bien superieur, les implants c'est visse dans l'os de la machoire, ca fait mal ! tres mal et ca ouvre une voie eventuelle a une infection ! par le trou fait jusqu'a l'os des tas de saloperies peuvent entrer et te ruiner la sante. Alors qu'un bridge meme de plusieurs dents et fixe a l'interieur des racines de 2 dents, rien a voir, la racine est deja en place on ne met pas une piece rapportee.j'en ai plusieurs et c'est super, ca tient parfaitement et grace a ca manger avec 32 dents quand d'autres bouffent puree /yaourts parce que plus de dents !il n'y a pas de comparaison possible. Mais bien sur qu'un dentiste va essayer de te vendre l'implant ! ils gagnent gros sur toi, meme en France mais en Thailande si c'est moins cher c'est pas donne non plus. Ce que je sais c'est que plus tu t'eloignes de Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya etc....ce sera moins cher, j'ai aussi fait l'experience a Bangkok et c'est plus cher meme si c'est moins qu'en France.

L'implant n'est pas donne, tu peux bien compter 70 a 100, 000baht, voir plus pour les implants rapides fait en 1 semaine/10 jours, et suivant la clinique.
J'ai du mal a comprendre ton dentiste, car les miens m'ont toujours dit que le bridge etait bien plus fiable (et nettement moins cher)

Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,

We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question: Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
Thanks

Hi,
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence. Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?

Hi there,
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...). I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan. I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation. I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.

Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
Hi there.
I’d like to know if all medications need to be declared at Uzbek customs.
E.g., antidepressants?
Thanks for your reply
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
Hi there,
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants. Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist? I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done. Thanks so much!
