My own experiences have been mixed, generally I feel the dentists are good and far cheaper than back home. My last experience was not good, at a hospital in Chonburi. It ended up costing double what the dentist quoted me, and it seems to be inferior work because the tooth that was crowned still plays up and will probably be extracted in the future. You may try surfing the Net for BKK dentists, the very good ones that get recommended all the time are not cheap (but probably still cheaper than home) I just wish I could find a dentist that does PAINLESS work. I always seem to be jumping around in agony like a heratic in the Spanish Inquisition. Back in Oz I used to get knocked out with IV but nobody seems to do that in Thailand.

Thumbs up Not Bangkok

But I had a truly great dentist in Phuket if you are interested in changin where you go? The Phuket International Hospital has a dental section and the guy was absolutely superb, and not expensive by western standards of course.
