Dental Buddy Clinic near Chiang Mai University is an orthodontic-specialist clinic run by Dr. Yok as owner-operator, offering the personal attention and high clinical standards that attract international dental tourists. A Dutch couple praised the detailed written treatment reports as exemplary even by European standards, a Czech traveler confirmed easy English booking and card payments, and long-term orthodontic patients document strong outcomes across 24-session cases. A 4.85 Google score on 86 reviews warrants a minor authenticity adjustment.

I was traveling in Chiang Mai and started to feel something wasn’t right with my teeth, so I decided to get a check-up at Dental Buddy Clinic. Honestly, I’m so glad I did. The dentist was incredibly kind and gentle. They explained everything very clearly, so I felt comfortable and understood what was happening the whole time. The treatment really helped fix my issue, and I was surprised by how…

w light their hands were almost no pain at all. Dentist Yok, the owner, is amazing very kind, professional, and truly caring. Her husband was also super kind and welcoming. You can really feel that this place is run with heart. The front desk staff were also very helpful and welcoming. They assisted me with everything I needed and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The clinic itself is very clean, modern, and comfortable. It’s also in a super convenient location right in front of Chiang Mai University, which makes it easy to find and access. I heard that their main specialty is orthodontics (braces), but they can actually handle a wide range of dental treatments, which is great. Overall, it was such a good experience, especially since I was traveling and a bit worried at first. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly dental clinic in Chiang Mai.

I was very impressed with Dr. Phol (Dr. Ariyaphon). Today I came to get a filling from him. The work was incredibly detailed and meticulous. He sculpted my tooth perfectly, making it look exactly like my real tooth – you can't tell the difference! If you're looking for a dentist with impeccable work and attention to detail, I highly recommend Dr. Phol. You won't be disappointed! *For all your…

Fantastic clinic! My wife and I were able to be seen at the same time two hours later and had a fantastic treatment. Afterwards, we both received a very detailed report of their work, their findings, and their recommendations. This is a great example for dentists and dental hygienists in the Netherlands! I highly recommend it!

I'm someone who's really, really scared of going to the dentist (a million kais, lol). But Dental Buddy made me feel much more comfortable because all the doctors are really nice, especially Dr. Yok 🥰 and they all have really light hands (actually, all of them have light hands). For example, in my case, I had a problem with my lower teeth overlapping my upper teeth, but after about 24 sessions, m…

I found this clinic through a friend who came here with her family and highly recommended it. My usual clinic didn’t have an available slot, and I was in a rush due to planned travels, so I decided to give this one a try — and I’m really glad I did! EVERYTHING was excellent from the start: clear communication, patience in explaining every step, and genuine professionalism from the whole team. Even…

n the senior management took the time to call and re-explain a detail, which was such a thoughtful touch. The clinic is spotless, well-organized, and the entire process was smooth — even the anesthetic injection didn’t hurt! Highly recommended. You can really feel that they care about their patients and take pride in their work.

It's terrible. They're using acquaintances to make comments to make themselves look good. I'm so confused. I have to pay for stitches, even though I had the surgery done there... I had the other side done at another clinic before, and they didn't charge me anything.

Very good experience! I needed to have a dental cleaning and a check up after travelling for several months and I'm glad I found this clinic. The doctor was very nice and the cleaning was one of the best I've had - very gentle but thorough. I also really appreciated the doctor telling me what she's about to do and how it might feel, it made me feel more comfortable. Booking the appointment was…
