Q. I am an American who will be coming to Thailand for some
dental care. I would like to know how long it will take to
get a partial denture with metal frame for three teeth, lower
two in front, one on the side.
A.A Total of 4 visits in two weeks to complete the
dental Work and for the remaining days go out for sightseeing.
Q. Hello Dr. do you serve orthodontic treatment?
A.
As orthodontic treatment needs more time and it is difficult
for overseas patients to devote so much of time , we don't
do the long term orthodontic treatment; but we do serve
instant orthodontic treatment , please don't be confused
- it is just the another name for cosmetic dentistry, where
we correct mild misaligned teeth in just 2 or 3 visits depending
on the no. of teeth
Q.
With the partial denture to correct my missing teeth on
the upper anterior portion. Could you recommend another
material other than acrylic
A. I would recommend a better material called 'valplast'.
It has more strength, thinner, and provides more suction
ability to the gums than the normal one we had been using
before. But We need longer time for the laboratory work,
at least one week.
Q.
Is the Laser tooth whitening process permanent?
A. Actually, the treatment last for many years. It
varies with person to person - their food habits, occupations
and their oral hygiene. Upon the completion of your initial
laser whitening process, your teeth are restored to their
natural white color but exposure to some foods and drinks
like coffee, colas and red wine, chocolates etc will gradually
darken your teeth again over time.
Q. Hello
Dr. should I use home gel after laser tooth whitening or
not?
A. It is not a must but it is better to use
a home gel to maintain the whiteness. It is easy to use
Q.
Can I just come for spa service and get some free simple
dental works like scaling and polishing as I don't have
particular dental treatment.
A. We are sorry, we don't give free dental treatment
in return for spa service but we have special package for
free spa with dental works.
Q.
Paying by cash / credit card / US dollar / Thai baht.
A. We accept cash /all major credit cards / Thai
baht, US dollar is accepted only in unavoidable situations.

Q.
I needed an extraction and I was advised to have a dental
implant placed just after the extraction. Why is it so?
How do I know I can have?
A. It's a better idea to have the immediate implant
( implant placed immediately after the extraction) as usually
after the extraction the jaw bone tends to shrink .Also
, if there is already a bone loss due to some periodontal
infections or any other cause one might need bone grafting
. so, just to reduce the duration and cost of treatment
and to preserve the height and width of bone, we go for
immediate implant after extraction. But in your case whether
you can have immediate implant or not will depend upon the
amount of bone available in the area. Also you need to go
to dentist for your oral checkup.
Q.
Do implants require special care?
A. Like your natural teeth implant also need regular check
- ups. Proper brushing and flossing is always recommended
to maintain the oral hygiene.
