The clinic on Sai Nam Yen road.
2006: Went for a cleaning routine at the same clinic above, and also because I felt pain in one of the teeth but never mentioned it to them. 1200 baht.
2006: As I have pain, I decided to visit the new clinic on Sawatdirak Road (All4Diving), Prom Jai. It is a big nice dental clinic which looks modern and professional. They also have another clinic on the bypass road on the way to airport.
One of the teeths I repaired in 2003 gave me problem, althought it was filled the hole was still growing beneth the filling and caused pain. She drilled and put medicament or something and told me I need root canal treatment next time. Took maybe 1-1.5 hour. This visit: 1700 baht including x-rays.
2nd visit, root canal treatment. Took about 2 hours.: 12,000 baht.
3rd visit: Preparing for a crown and gave me a temporary plastic crown. 20,000 baht including the new crown. Maybe 1-1.5 hour.
I will be back on Tuesday for crown insertion, but isnt 33,700 baht in total very expensive??

From what i`ve heard Bkk is cheaper. But i never went myself.
Maybe someone got a crown before and can tell how much it was?
