Chatuchak Dental Center (CDC Dental) is located at 1639/3-4 Phahonyothin Road, Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400, Thailand. BTS Saphan Khwai station is approximately 100 meters from the clinic entrance via Exit 3, with no requirement to navigate into a soi, making this one of the most directly transit-accessible dental clinics in northern Bangkok. MRT Kamphaeng Phet via Exit 3 in the Aor Tor Kor Market direction provides an alternative transit approach for patients on the Blue Line. The clinic's second branch is located at Ladprao 109 in Bang Kapi District, approximately 500 meters from MRT Yellow Line Ladprao 101 station, extending the network's reach into the eastern Bangkok residential corridor.
The clinic was established under the Chatuchak Dental Center and Prinya Dental Clinic brands, with the current CDC Dental identity adopted through a 2023 rebranding that unified both practices under a single name. Prinya Dental Clinic was founded in 1985 by Dr. Prinya Tunksook, giving the practice over 40 years of clinical heritage. The combined team of more than 10 specialist dentists includes English-speaking practitioners, making the clinic a regular choice for Bangkok's expatriate population and international patients seeking specialist dental care in the northern Bangkok area.
Orthodontic Services
Orthodontics is the primary clinical focus and the area in which the clinic holds the deepest specialist credentials. The clinic is a certified provider for multiple clear aligner systems, including Invisalign with planning supported by the iTero intraoral scanner, Spark clear aligners, ClearCorrect, and the Essentials by Invisalign entry-level program. This breadth of aligner system coverage allows the orthodontic team to match the treatment modality to the clinical case, patient preference, and budget rather than being limited to a single brand. Conventional metal fixed braces and Damon self-ligating braces are available for cases where fixed appliances are clinically preferable or patient-preferred. Post-orthodontic retention through removable or fixed retainers completes the orthodontic treatment cycle.
The clinic accepts case transfer patients who have begun orthodontic treatment at another clinic in Bangkok or abroad and need to continue or complete their tooth movement in Thailand. This service is relevant for dental tourists on extended stays and expatriates who have relocated to Bangkok mid-treatment. Retreatment for relapsed cases or unsatisfactory outcomes from previous orthodontic work is also available. Dr. Pitipat Tunksook, the third generation of the founding family and holder of a Master of Science in Orthodontics from Mahidol University, provides specialist-level orthodontic care and was recognized with first place at the ClearCorrect Young Speaker Contest 2025.
Dental Implants
Dental implant treatment begins at 45,000 THB, covering the surgical placement of the titanium implant fixture and the prosthetic crown restoration. The implant workflow incorporates 3D X-ray imaging for pre-surgical planning, allowing the bone volume, anatomy, and implant trajectory to be assessed in three dimensions before placement. Single-tooth implants and multi-implant cases are handled within the clinic's general implant program, with case complexity assessed at consultation to determine whether referral to specialist oral surgery is warranted for more complex bone or sinus situations.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental veneer placement for shade, shape, and surface corrections is available alongside teeth whitening and digital smile design consultation. Crowns and bridges cover prosthodontic restoration for structurally compromised or missing teeth, with laboratory-fabricated porcelain restorations used across the crown and bridge program. Denture provision addresses complete or partial tooth loss with removable prosthetic options for patients who are not candidates for implant-supported fixed restorations.
General, Preventive, and Specialized Care
Root canal therapy in the endodontic department addresses infected or inflamed pulp tissue, preserving the natural tooth with canal cleaning, disinfection, and sealing prior to crown placement. Periodontal treatment covers scaling and root planing for gum disease management, with the Air Flow dental spa cleaning system available at 1,800 THB as a premium preventive cleaning option using pressurized powder and water. Oral surgery covers routine and surgical extractions including wisdom tooth removal, and the clinic offers orthognathic surgery consultation for jaw alignment corrections beyond the scope of orthodontic treatment alone.
Pediatric dentistry provides child-appropriate preventive and restorative care. Dental sleep medicine addresses bruxism (teeth grinding) and obstructive sleep apnea through custom night guard fabrication from 3,500 THB. TMJ and occlusion specialist services are available for patients with jaw joint disorders or bite-related pain.
Pricing Transparency and Payment
The clinic operates on a transparent pricing model with no hidden charges, and the same fee schedule applies to local Thai patients and international visitors. Installment payment plans are available for longer treatment courses such as orthodontics and implants. The clinic accepts Thai Social Security dental benefits, 30-baht Gold Card coverage, and is compatible with private dental insurance plans, broadening access beyond fee-for-service payment. The clinic can be reached by phone at +66 2 619 2691 or by email at [email protected]. Appointment inquiries are also handled through WhatsApp and LINE. Both branches are open daily from 9:00 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening.
