Bangkok · Dentistry
Dental crowns is widely available in Bangkok, from single-chair clinics to dental hospitals with on-site laboratories. This page covers the indicative price per tooth, what changes it, how many visits it takes, and what to ask before you pay a deposit.
Dental work is usually staged across several appointments rather than done in one sitting, so the length of the trip is set by laboratory turnaround and healing time, not by chair time.

Pricing is indicative and never a quote.
A crown covers a damaged, root-treated or heavily filled tooth, restoring its shape and function. Unlike a veneer, it wraps the whole tooth.
Treatment is normally two appointments a few days apart, with a temporary crown in between while the laboratory makes the permanent one.

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
Strong, metal-free, widely used for back teeth where load is highest.
A metal core under a porcelain surface. Durable, with a metal margin that can show at the gum over time.
Best light-handling for front teeth, less suited to the heaviest loads.
Milled at the clinic in one appointment, avoiding a temporary and a second visit.
Long-lasting and kind to the opposing tooth, at the cost of appearance.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Front teeth are judged on appearance, back teeth on strength. A good plan does not use one material everywhere by default.
It changes the sequence, the trip length and the price.
Same-day saves a visit. A laboratory crown allows more control over shade and shape.
About 5 days
Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.
Send photographs and any recent X-rays. A clinic can give an opening estimate, but not a plan.
Examination, imaging, and a written treatment plan with a firm price. Agree it before any work starts.
Usually staged over several visits a few days apart, to allow for laboratory work or healing.
The final fit is where the result is decided. Do not rush this appointment or skip it.
Bite checked, and any adjustment made. This is why the trip is around 5 days.
Ask for your records, materials used, and a written aftercare plan for your dentist at home.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Clinics that perform this in your city see your enquiry, without your details. Up to three take it and come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Bangkok, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

Around 5 days for most people, because the work is staged across appointments.
Usually, if you have the records. Ask for the treatment notes and the exact materials used before you leave.
Ask for the policy in writing before you start, including whether it covers a return trip.
