Key Takeaways
- A check-up and consultation at our clinic costs THB 300; X-rays THB 300–500.
- Catching decay early means a THB 1,000–4,000 filling instead of a THB 8,000–20,000 root canal.
- Expats in Pattaya: 6-monthly check-ups with scaling (THB 1,200–3,500) keep costs predictably low.
The math of prevention
Untreated early decay becomes deep decay; deep decay becomes root canal treatment (THB 8,000–20,000 by tooth) or extraction plus replacement (an implant runs THB 40,000–55,000). A THB 300 examination twice a year, catching problems at the THB 1,000–4,000 filling stage, is the best return on investment in dentistry.
What a check-up includes
A thorough examination of teeth, gums and existing dental work, with digital X-rays (THB 300–500) when indicated. You get honest findings and a written plan with prices — never pressure. Add scaling and polishing (THB 1,200–3,500) and you leave with a genuinely clean slate.
For Pattaya expats especially
If you live here, there is no reason to save dental care for trips home. Twice-yearly visits at local prices — with English-speaking dentists five minutes from the beach — beat crisis dentistry anywhere.
