AB Dental Clinic Phuket

Dr. Pundari Somjitra at AB Dental Clinic Phuket is a specialist in Invisalign clear aligner treatment with 20 years of Phuket dental practice behind her. Invisalign specialisation means Dr. Pundari has completed Invisalign's formal training programme, treated a volume of cases sufficient to achieve recognised tier status, and has ongoing access to Invisalign's clinical support resources. For patients, a specialist provider means more accurate treatment planning, better aligner fit, and a dentist who has managed a wide range of case complexity with the system.

Phuket Town, where AB Dental Clinic is located in the Talat Yai area, is the administrative and residential heart of Phuket island. It is less affected by tourist crowd fluctuations, has easier parking and access, and the patient base is more stable year-round. For dental patients requiring multiple appointments over several days or weeks, Phuket Town's calmer environment and better value accommodation options make it a more practical base than the noisy, pricier beachside zones of Patong.

AB Dental Clinic in Phuket has been operating for over 20 years under Dr. Pundari Somjitra's leadership. Two decades in the same location builds a patient record database, a refined understanding of local and international patient expectations, and a clinical culture with documented protocols. Long-standing practices also attract and retain experienced supporting staff. For international patients who return to Phuket for holidays, having a 20-year-established clinic means their dental records are maintained and their treating dentist is likely to still be available on subsequent visits.

AB Dental Clinic Phuket positions cosmetic dentistry and implantology as complementary disciplines rather than separate services. When a patient requires an implant to replace a missing tooth, the cosmetic element of the crown, its colour, shape, and proportion relative to adjacent teeth, is given equal attention to the surgical element. Dr. Pundari and the team plan implant cases with the final aesthetic outcome in mind from the first consultation, ensuring the implant position and angle support the best possible crown appearance.

Yes, holiday-makers visiting Phuket can begin Invisalign treatment at AB Dental Clinic. The clinic performs orthodontic records including digital scans and photographs, creates a ClinCheck treatment simulation for the patient to review, and can manufacture the full aligner series to take home. Patients then wear aligners on schedule and can have remote check-ins or arrange a follow-up assessment on a subsequent Phuket visit. This model allows international patients to access Phuket's competitive pricing without needing to relocate for treatment.

AB Dental Clinic Phuket offers porcelain veneers using thin, high-strength ceramic facings bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve colour, shape, and alignment. The clinic provides digital smile design to preview the planned result before any tooth preparation occurs. Given Dr. Pundari's background in cosmetic dentistry, the veneer design process at AB Dental is particularly attentive to proportional aesthetics: ensuring the veneers suit the patient's face shape, skin tone, and smile line rather than producing a generic bright result.

Patients recovering from dental treatment at AB Dental Clinic Phuket can visit Old Phuket Town's Sino-Portuguese architecture and street art on the first day of recovery, take a boat tour to Phi Phi Islands or Phang Nga Bay when cleared for light activity, or explore the Big Buddha and Chalong Temple. Phuket Town itself has excellent coffee shops, night markets, and restaurants accessible on foot, making quiet recovery days comfortable. The clinic advises on activity restrictions based on the specific procedure performed.

At AB Dental Clinic Phuket, extraction and implant planning are sequenced based on the health of the extraction site and the volume of bone available. For patients with sufficient bone, immediate implant placement at the time of extraction is sometimes possible, reducing the total number of appointments. Where healing time is required, the clinic creates a clear timeline for when implant placement can occur. Patients visiting Phuket for an extended stay can sometimes complete both stages; those on shorter visits receive a detailed plan for completing placement on a return trip.

Yes, AB Dental Clinic Phuket actively serves international patients who want to combine an orthodontic consultation with their Phuket holiday. The consultation includes a comprehensive oral examination, digital impressions, photographs, and X-rays. Dr. Pundari then uses these records to create an Invisalign ClinCheck simulation showing the projected tooth movement. Patients who decide to proceed can begin treatment during the same trip if their schedule allows, or receive the full aligner series to take home after a brief return visit for records confirmation.

AB Dental Clinic Phuket has an established workflow for international Invisalign patients who cannot attend regular in-person appointments. After the initial records appointment and treatment commencement, patients receive their full aligner series to take with them. Remote check-ins using photographs of the aligners in place allow Dr. Pundari to monitor progress. If refinements are needed partway through treatment, patients can return to Phuket for a brief records update appointment, or in some cases provide updated digital scans through a partner clinic in their home country.
