Important โ€” about this score

Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.

This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information โ€” including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.

How the algorithm penalises scores

Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.

These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

Clinics may request a review of their score at any time. Read full methodology โ†’

Why Choose Chatuchak Dental Center in Bangkok?

Orthodontic-specialist dental clinic at 1639/3-4 Phahonyothin Road, Phaya Thai, Bangkok, approximately 100 meters from BTS Saphan Khwai Exit 3. Rebranded in 2023 from Prinya Dental Clinic (est. 1985). Two-branch group with 10+ specialist dentists. Offers Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect, Damon braces, implants, cosmetic dentistry, pediatrics, and TMJ treatment. Open daily 9am-8pm.

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.

The clinic is good. The doctor does a good job. But the only thing that needs improvement is that the clinic doesn't provide covers for patients. If you come wearing a skirt or shorts, you might feel a bit embarrassed and cold.

Can I expect real savings on my dental care by traveling to Bangkok? โ–พ
Absolutely. Traveling to Bangkok for dental care at this central practice delivers outstanding value. Standard preventative treatments and minor cosmetic restorations are offered at rates that are up to 70 percent lower than baseline fees in Australia, the UK, or the US. Simple composite fillings cost about USD 40 to 80, making it highly practical for international visitors to combine their holiday in Thailand with reliable, budget-friendly dental maintenance.
What standards of quality and safety are maintained at the dental clinic? โ–พ
The clinical team at the dental clinic operates strictly according to advanced dental standards, prioritizing patient safety and outstanding clinical outcomes.

Is there English language support for international travelers at this clinic? โ–พ
Communication is never a barrier at this professional practice. Dr. and the coordination team communicate clearly in English, helping international travelers discuss their dental needs, understand check-up findings, and navigate their treatment plans with ease. From the initial examination to the final restoration or cleaning, the staff ensures that all instructions and care details are explained clearly in a comforting, professional manner.
What is the typical appointment duration for general dental care? โ–พ
For general dental care including a thorough check-up, professional cleaning, and standard fillings, patients should expect to spend about an hour at the clinic. The clinical team structures these sessions efficiently to respect your vacation schedule. Because the clinic is situated within easy reach of transport connections in Bangkok, fitting a high-quality dental check-up into your travel plans is straightforward and hassle-free.
What dental implant options are available at this Hanoi clinic? โ–พ
For patients suffering from missing teeth, this Hanoi clinic provides high-quality dental implant services for permanent, stable tooth replacement. The treatment process utilizes advanced digital imaging to plan and place biocompatible titanium posts precisely. By restoring these implants with custom-fabricated crowns, the implant team fully restores chewing function and natural smile aesthetics, using premium global implant brands like Straumann, Nobel Biocare, or Osstem.
Can I get clear aligners or Invisalign at this Bangkok clinic? โ–พ
Yes, modern clear aligner systems are available as a highly discreet, virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. Removable transparent trays are custom-fabricated to guide your teeth gradually into their ideal positions. This convenient treatment is exceptionally suited to adults and professionals visiting Bangkok who prefer to straighten their teeth comfortably without the aesthetic drawback of fixed metal brackets.
How many sessions are required for a complete veneer treatment? โ–พ
Completing a custom porcelain veneer restoration typically requires two to three clinical appointments over a period of 5 to 7 working days. During the initial session, the dentist prepares the target teeth and takes a precise impression. The specialized laboratory then fabricates your custom shells using premium ceramic materials like E.max, which are permanently bonded to your teeth in the final session.
What aftercare support does the clinic provide for international patients? โ–พ
Providing continuous care is an essential part of the patient experience at the clinic. Following any extraction, filling, crown, or cosmetic work, the clinical team provides comprehensive post-operative instructions and a detailed aftercare plan.
