Cindy, read a post by Bobmac recently on some dental work he had done. You just need to make sure that the quote you have covers EVERYTHING, as he had a quote and had some work done and then total bill ended up being much higher with all the extras tacked on.

I believe the quality of dental work in Thailand is top class. My travel agent has just started doing special "dental holidays" to Thailand, where all your treatments are organised and then you have some "r and r" time afterwards. On my recent trip, my friend had her teeth laser whitened in Patong for about one third the cost it would be here, and the quality of the procedure and the dentist could not be faltered. She was just not warned of the pain involved!!! I asked at the same clinic about teeth implants as I need 2 of them and the cost was about $2000AUD whereas here they are about $5000-$6000 each.

So ... just make 100% certain that your quote is the total cost involved. Just do a search of "dental work" and you should find Bobmac's post.

PS Bobmacs post is actually in one of my threads called 3 weeks in paradise the good the bad and the ugly. Just do a search under dental work and you will find it. You should read it Cindy. I dont mean to scare or alarm you, but as Bob says you just need to be sure you know what the total cost will be.
