Yes, you can get than done at many places. E.g. Bangkok Phuket Hospital or the shop at Sawatdirak road among others, but I dont have any clue about prices thought.

BYW, lot of Thai girls have really white and nice teeths, I dont know how they manage to do that, maybe because Coffee and Tea is not widespread here.

Or not born in a country where they handed out tetracycline to pregant mothers years ago causing the kids to have discoloured teeth for life.

Though I hear laser whitening is about the only thing that can have a reliable effect on that, but you need prolonged treatment apparently.
I'm sure that 10,00baht would be a bargain when compared to somewhere like the UK for dental work.

Might well check it out myself.

That's a good price - I asked my dentist today in UK and she said £550 about 38000 Baht.

Is it something that they do in 30 minuts and just one time ? Or do you have to repeat it a couple of times ?

A gel is applied to your teeth. A tooth whitening plasma light is positioned over your teeth to activate the gel. The procedure takes approx. 40 mins. Following this this procedure a home whitening kit is used for the next 4-5 days and worn for 20-40 minutes/day to complete the whitening process.

Your new smile can last up to 3 years. However everyone's habits and lifestyles vary. The use of tobacco, red wine, coffee or tea will affect how long your results will last.

Regular visits to the dentist for professional cleaning help maintain the results.

Can you get laser teeth whiting in Phuket

NO

But your teeth get very sensitive after this.
And some pain will come at night and when you eat strong food.
and you must remember that you have to clean the teeth at the dentist first
so you get a nice white collor al over

My dentist told me to just use the gel home system and no laser.
Just tace it on at nights.
This will cost ca 7000 bath inc cleaning.

Ahh that puts me right out then (was thinking about it.. Too much coffee and wine) I have full bridgework on all my uppers.. Both left and right sides have lost teeth as a teen (doesnt that just scream trouble) so theres only one real front tooth up top.. The rest are crowns and bridging structures to cover the holes.. Never had a filling but I have had a few of the fcukers knocked out..

Odd though as the bridgework has aged only the same as the teeth, shame it doesnt just renew the lot..

I almost bet it would pay for a short vacation.. 210k baht is in the 5k USD range.. Depending on the complexity of the bridgework I am guess you would save 3 - 4k USD which pays for a short holiday while its done..

Bridework, caps, and more extensive work here seems to be pennies on the dollar and very high quality..

Hi Petter,

Just the gel sounds better. You can buy it and use it at home. Would you happen to know the name of the gel and if you can buy it in any drugstore in Phuket ? Or maybe any of the other BM's know it ?

Thx.

The problem is that when they made the fillings,bridges truktures,crowns etc,the dentist made it in same collor as your teeth was then,and that collor is forever.
So when you whitening your teeth you get a lot of diffrent white collors,only your orginal teeth get whiter.
That was a shock for me too,but i started change this tings
in Thailand pga god price.
I use Dr Sawika Jantarasatiy at Sainamyen Road.
She is extremely nice and good at this.The service is exelent.

But the crowns have aged / yellowed too..

Thats what I dont get.. They were the same color.. They are now the same color..

Maybee the crowns bleach more or less fast than the teeth creating a mis match ??

Not a big deal anyway..

Yes but when you get new white collor on teeth by using gel,your teeth get very very white.
Your old crown,fillings will only go back to what it was when new,not so white as your new teeth will be.
Gel canot change collor on fillings,crowns.
The collor of fillings,crowns was made to adjust the collor of your teeth at that time you made them many years ago.
That is why the dentist want to change fillings before bleaching,spesially in front
