All dentists are registered with the Thai Dental Council. The clinic publishes a full price list and offers free initial consultations. ## Detail Chiang Mai Dental Care is a mid-sized dental clinic established in 2010 and situated within the historic old city area of Chiang Mai, a location that places it within easy reach of the city's main tourist and expatriate districts. The clinic operates with a staff of approximately 18, comprising dentists, dental nurses, and administrative personnel, all working within a purpose-fitted clinical environment. The clinic's primary specialisms are dental implant placement and porcelain veneer fabrication, procedures that together account for the majority of its international patient workload. Its dentists are registered with the Thai Dental Council, the statutory regulatory body for dental practitioners in Thailand. A transparent published price list covers implant components, crown materials, and veneer specifications, enabling patients to compare costs prior to travel. International patient support includes English-language consultations, digital treatment planning with pre-treatment imagery, and scheduling flexibility to accommodate multi-day treatment plans within a single visit. The clinic's location in Chiang Mai — a city popular with long-stay visitors and digital nomads — means a proportion of its patients are already resident in the area rather than travelling solely for treatment. Equipment in use includes digital panoramic X-ray imaging and intraoral scanning for crown and veneer fabrication. Implant components are sourced from established European and American manufacturers, and the clinic provides documentation of implant brand and model to patients for future clinical records. ## Accreditations held - **Thai Dental Council** [verified on 2024-03-10] — https://www.dentalcouncil.or.th ## FAQs ### How can I confirm that Chiang Mai Dental Care's dentists are registered with the Thai Dental Council? The Thai Dental Council is the statutory regulatory body for dental practitioners in Thailand and maintains registration records at dentalcouncil.or.th. The clinic's registration status was confirmed against primary sources at dentalcouncil.or.th on 10 March 2024. Patients who wish to verify independently can contact the Thai Dental Council directly or search the online register using the dentist's full name. The clinic is registered in Thailand under company number 0505553004567, confirmed active at dbd.go.th. Before booking, patients are advised to request the name of the dentist who will perform their implant or veneer work and verify that practitioner's registration individually. ### What are the qualifications of dentists performing implant procedures at the clinic? All dentists at Chiang Mai Dental Care are required to hold Thai Dental Council registration, which is the statutory minimum to practise dentistry in Thailand. Implant placement is a postgraduate skill; patients are advised to ask specifically whether the dentist performing their implant procedure has completed a recognised postgraduate training programme in implantology and how many implant procedures they carry out annually. The Thai Dental Council can be contacted at dentalcouncil.or.th to confirm that a specific dentist's registration is current and in good standing before committing to treatment. ### What anaesthesia is used for implant surgery, and who administers it? Dental implant placement at Chiang Mai Dental Care is performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the surgical site without requiring general anaesthesia or sedation. The local anaesthetic is administered by the treating dentist. For patients with significant dental anxiety, oral sedation may be discussed, though the availability of intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia at the clinic should be confirmed directly. Patients should disclose any known reactions to local anaesthetic agents and any medications that may interact with commonly used agents, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, at their pre-treatment consultation. ### What happens if a complication arises following my implant treatment? Post-operative complications after dental implant placement can include infection, swelling, nerve sensitivity, or, in rare cases, implant failure. Chiang Mai Dental Care provides patients with emergency contact details for use during the immediate post-operative period. For complications arising after a patient has returned home, the clinic can conduct a remote assessment by photograph and video call to advise on whether local management is sufficient or whether a return visit is required. The clinic's documentation includes the implant brand, model, and component specifications, which allows a dentist in the patient's home country to access the manufacturer's support resources if needed. ### What is the clinic's revision policy if an implant or veneer fails? Chiang Mai Dental Care does not publish a blanket revision guarantee. Patients are advised to request the specific terms for implant and veneer failures in writing before treatment commences. For implant failure involving poor osseointegration or early infection, the clinic would typically assess whether re-implantation is clinically appropriate and at what cost. For porcelain veneers that chip or debond, the warranty period and repair terms should be confirmed prior to bonding. International patients who experience a failure after returning home may need to seek local management; the clinic can advise remotely but cannot guarantee the availability of identical materials through a home-country provider. ### What does the published price list cover, and are there additional costs I should anticipate? Chiang Mai Dental Care publishes a price list covering implant components, crown materials, and veneer specifications, enabling patients to compare costs before travel. However, the quoted component price may not include all elements of treatment. Patients should confirm whether the following are included: initial consultation, panoramic or cone beam CT imaging for implant planning, bone grafting if required, temporary crowns during the osseointegration period, and any follow-up appointments. For veneers, clarify whether the price covers the preparation appointment, laboratory fabrication, bonding appointment, and any adjustment visits. The currency of published prices and the current exchange rate should be confirmed at the time of booking. ### What deposit and refund policy applies if I need to cancel or postpone my trip? The clinic's deposit and refund terms are not detailed in publicly available documentation and should be requested and confirmed in writing when a booking is made. Patients should ask what deposit is required, whether it is refundable if cancelled with adequate notice, and what the minimum notice period is. For laboratory work commenced before a patient arrives — for example, if scans are sent in advance for preliminary planning — any laboratory costs incurred may not be refundable. International patients are advised to hold travel insurance with a medical procedure cancellation component to protect against non-recoverable travel and accommodation costs. ### How does the clinic manage follow-up care for patients who have returned home after treatment? Follow-up for international patients is managed through a combination of remote consultations and written guidance. For implant patients, the osseointegration period typically requires no active clinical intervention, but the clinic provides written protocols for oral hygiene maintenance and describes what symptoms should prompt contact with a local dentist. The clinic provides documentation of the implant brand, component model numbers, and torque specifications to enable any subsequent restorative work to be carried out by a local provider. For veneer patients, a photograph-based review can be conducted remotely to assess shade stability and margin integrity. Patients requiring in-person review would need to schedule a return visit. ### What languages other than English are available at the clinic? Chiang Mai Dental Care operates in an area of northern Thailand with a substantial expatriate and long-stay visitor population, and its clinical and administrative team provides consultations in English. For patients whose primary language is not English, the clinic's capacity to provide detailed clinical explanations in languages other than Thai or English should be confirmed before booking. In Chiang Mai, professional interpretation services are available for patients who require assistance in Mandarin, Japanese, German, or other languages, but arranging these in advance of the appointment is the patient's responsibility. Written treatment plans and consent forms are typically produced in English. ### What happens if a procedure is cancelled or delayed on the day I arrive? Same-day cancellations at the clinic could arise if a pre-treatment X-ray or clinical assessment on arrival reveals a contraindication not identified remotely — for example, insufficient bone volume for the planned implant or active infection requiring resolution before surgery. In this event, the clinic would advise on whether the procedure can proceed after a brief delay or whether a return visit is required. Patients should confirm before travel how the clinic handles treatment plan changes identified on arrival, what fees are applicable to the assessment appointment if the procedure does not proceed, and whether there are additional costs if a bone graft or other preparatory treatment is required.
