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.

Just two weeks into my month in Chiang Mai, I developed gum disease, swelling and barely able to tolerate coffee or food. Then, I was kindly referred to this dental clinic by the nearby Joy Plus Clinic and made an appointment. I was surprised by the number of clean and well-equipped dental clinics in Chiang Mai, and then again by the fact that Buddy Clinic was the best of them all. It completely…

dispelled my prejudices about foreign countries. The kind and gentle female doctor at Buddy Clinic took my limited English skills into consideration and explained everything slowly and thoroughly. The condition was so bad that she recommended extraction, but when I told her I was planning to have further treatment in Korea, she readily agreed to urgent gum treatment. The anesthesia and treatment were magically performed, painless and meticulous. The doctor personally explained everything to me and took care of everything, leaving me deeply moved and grateful. The cost of the X-ray, dental treatment, and medication, which wasn't covered by insurance, was about 60,000 won, but it was a relief to have all my worries about the rest of my trip resolved in one fell swoop. After taking antibiotics and gargling in the evening, a pain-free, clean morning awaited me, as if by magic. I highly recommend Buddy Clinic to travelers struggling with their teeth.

This dentist has a great atmosphere. ๐Ÿฆท Their aftercare and stylish services for special events are especially appealing! The prices are also much cheaper than in Japan, and it's easy to make an appointment.

Excellent service. I messaged Dental Buddy on Facebook to schedule an appointment and they replied within a few minutes. I went in just over an hour later and it was truly the best experience Iโ€™ve had at a dentist. All of the staff are very friendly & answer your questions in depth. The girls have very gentle hands & complete the required work with care & dexterity. 10/10.

- Orthodontic treatment is done by a specialist orthodontist. Not every clinic has an orthodontist on duty every day, but this is a clinic run by an orthodontist in-house. - General dentistry is also available. - The doctor is incredibly kind and gentle. - The clinic has a comfortable and clean atmosphere. - The prices are very reasonable. Feel free to inquire for an initial consultation.
