The following price list is available at simple request at the reception desk of Dental Hospital, now located at Onnuj Road in a brand new facility. I could not find a list with recent price updates on their website. We show a selection of procedures below, the list is quite comprehensive, and may be a good guide to estimate costs.
I reckon the prices quoted are not the cheapest in Thailand. Then again, quality of work and material, we assume, are well above average.
The prices below were obtained end-2022 and did not change substantially compared to end-2021. Compared with the data listed in 2013 and 2015, most prices had not increased up to 2018.
The value of the US Dollar vs. the Thai Baht has gone up and down during 2022. Mostly as a result of the U.S. Dollar strenght the Thai Baht weakened to around 38 Thai Baht for 1 U.S. Dollar. However by the end of the year, the Thai Baht value improved to aroudn 35 Thai Baht for 1 U.S. Dollar. Interestingly, these currency fluctuations did not effect prices for treatment at the Dental Hospital.
The price between brackets is the one as noted in an update in mid-2018, just to get an idea as to whether prices are going up or not.
Prices for medical procedures in general hospitals in Thailand, are forever rising, and lately also seem to be talked about in the English-language local press.
One final note : you may compare prices as listed with other dental facilities or hospitals. This is useful. Even more useful, if you are presented with expensive procedures, is to obtain a second opinion, not only regarding prices, but also whether an altogether less expensive treatment might suffice. In this regard, it it good to note that initial evaluation (and most dental X-rays) are rather inexpensive, so you do not waste money getting different opinions. All that said, we personally have relied for our treatments on Dental Hospital, with little regrets.
Remember, if you have one of the more expensive treatments, you may have to pay before the treatment has been concluded. So bring your cash or credit card with you from the first visit.
Remember, prices may always change without prior notice.

** : In practice, prices may vary depending on location, size, material.
A few years ago, we had a lot of fillings.
On one occasion, 3 composite fillings costs me 9,600 baht, which is way higher than advertised prices. On another occasion, I was charged 6,400 baht for 4 composite fillings, which fits the prices listed and is exactly half of what I paid earlier per filling.
A filling I received at Bumrungrad Hospital costs me 2,400 baht. We suggest, you interpret the above prices as guidelines.
In any case, especially for substantial treatments, it is useful to ask for an estimate of the costs beforehand. .
***: Our experience : there can be additional cost such as "crown buildup" (2,000 baht), and prefabricated post and core (3,500 baht). We assume similar add-on costs also apply for the crowns with other material composition. Don't forget that the price of placing a crown does not include a prior root canal treatment (if necessary) and intraoral-periapical X-ray films. Just to sum it up : We paid a total all included for one crown (including root canals) of 41,100 baht end 2016.
****: At the time we received our first dental implants, which admittedly is a while ago (2014), we checked prices at major facilities in Bangkok (Bumrungrad, BNH Hospital, Samitivej) and found prices as reported by email to be very similar.
The prices end-2022 for implants seem to have increased compared to a few years ago. The price quoted of 200,000 baht, may actually be the price when having a bridge placed with two implants (we do not know, just think so). Since there is a wide spread between the lower and higher price quoted, ask for more info.
In any case, prices may vary depending on additional exams or treatments (like X-rays, CT-scans, bone grafting, etc.)
Important : At Dental Hospital
there apparently is a policy in place to forgo payment for certain problems that may occur with the implant afterwards. This is very reassuring. Please ask for conditons. If you have treatment at another dental facility, you should inform yourself regarding this type of 'insurance' policy.
For those considering a dental implant, we found the procedure involved, much less dramatic and 'easy' than we anticipated.
Still valid at end 2022 : We found some promotional rates at Bangkok Christian Hospital, where costs were 53,000 baht (material from Korea), 63,000 baht (Zimmer from U.S.A.). Price does include implant and crown, but not additional materials (like bone graft) or CT etc. Around town, you will find cheaper offers. We advise to stick with hospitals or the larger dental clinics, not one-person practices in some side-street.
