Chiang Mai · Dentistry
Root canal treatment is widely available in Chiang Mai, 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.

What a starting price means. It is the published figure for the simplest configuration of this procedure — the standard implant, technique or materials. Yours may cost more depending on what you need. Thai hospitals quote a fixed package that states the hospital stay it includes.
Matched on procedure, budget, language and availability. They come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. It is done to save a tooth that would otherwise be extracted.
A tooth that has had root treatment is more brittle and usually needs a crown afterwards, so the two are normally planned together.
The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Sometimes extraction and an implant is the better long-term plan. Ask for the alternative and its cost.
Complex cases go to a specialist. Ask who is doing yours.
Usually necessary, and often not included in the root canal price. Confirm.

Video slot. Once a video is registered here it is checked automatically and we are alerted if it disappears.
In writing, in English, before money moves.
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.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Chiang Mai, 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.
