This must be the best dentist in Koh Samui. I've been going to dentists for four decades and been a few in Thailand. The Doctor is so good and wanting to help me with my problem, While other dentists in the island wouldn't even see me. He agreed to see me as an emergency patient. The staff are so nice and attentive, If I lived here this would definitely be my dentists, I want to thank Dr TEE and…

Dr. Tee was very friendly, competent, and courteous. I had complete confidence in him from the very beginning. If I ever need to visit the dentist again, it will only be Dr. Tee. Thank you for the professional treatment.

I had my wisdom tooth taken out by Dr Tee. Bear in mind I’m a very nervous patient. I was in and out in 20min. He was very gentle and his nurses helped me relax. I like their holistic approach. The whole process was painless. Thank you very much for your patience with me :)

I had my appointment about a week ago, so checking in to share my experience: I had a nerve inflammation of my wisdom tooth and I needed to get it removed urgently. I called Dental design clinic, they offered the earliest time slot compared to other clinics and actually called me back to offer even earlier time. The tooth removal took just a couple of minutes , completely pain free. Great doctor…

r and great crew around him. They did a detailed xray of my wisdom tooth too before removing it. Provided me with antibiotics as well, very professional doctor. I read reviews before picking the clinic, and I am lucky I went with this clinic! Thank you guys

I had a filling fall out. A smiling doctor offered to remove the nerve and put in a crown, which would have cost a lot of money. He refused to check my other teeth. I had the filling replaced at another clinic, which was 30 times cheaper. It's worth using medicine on the mainland, not on a tourist island.

I went to the Dental Design clinic. My partner and I had a cleaning done. The doctor is very professional, the office is very clean, the care is very gentle and effective. I recommend it, go there with your eyes closed.

Rochelle George via Google 5.0 out of 5
I had a teeth clean today through recommendation- thought I also needed various small “filling” for my gums to teeth The doc was incredibly kind and made me feel very comfortable. He said no I didn’t and we proceeded with a teeth clean which was the most pain free gentle teeth clean I’ve ever experienced. He not only is amazing but makes you feel very at ease for nervous patient’s. I can…

During our family vacation, I developed a severe infection in a tooth that had already undergone two root canal treatments in the past. I called the clinic, explained that I was in a lot of pain, and the doctor managed to give me an appointment already for the next day. I arrived with an almost hysterical fear of dentists, but the doctor and his team were so gentle, patient, and understanding.…

. Unfortunately, the tooth could not be saved and required a surgical extraction. Throughout the entire procedure, the doctor and staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. The treatment was carried out with such skill that my recovery went extremely well — I hardly even needed painkillers afterwards. I cannot recommend this dentist highly enough. I only wish he were my dentist back home! And if the doctor happens to read this review — thank you again for your exceptional care and for making such a difficult situation so much easier for me.

Amazing experience at this dentist the staff are very helpful and friendly and polite the dentist himself was the best I’ve even been with he made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure I appreciated how he was keeping me informed in what he was doing and if I might feel some pain or not it made me very comfortable in the chair. Overall he did an amazing job and the value for…

The team was incredibly professional, caring, and attentive to my needs, making sure I felt at ease throughout the entire process. The procedure was smooth and efficient, and I was surprised at how quickly everything was done without any…

discomfort. I am so impressed with the level of care I received that I’ve decided this will be my new go-to dentist from now on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares and provides top-notch, pain-free dental care. Thank you for making what I expected to be a stressful experience so easy and pain-free!

I have a phobia of the dentist... And the team is just wonderful. From the assistants to the dentist, they are all fantastic. Go there without hesitation! They are competent, reassuring, gentle, and empathetic. Thank you for everything 🙏🏻 …
Sacha Mokotowitch via Google 5.0 out of 5
Highly professional, he clearly explains each procedure and quotes prices upfront. I highly recommend him for all your dental needs on the island!
Iryna desmarchelier via Google 5.0 out of 5
Honestly, I was so scared, it was my first time at a dentist abroad, and in the end I loved it! He explains everything he does, tells you the prices upfront, and they're super reasonable too. I'm so happy, absolutely no disappointment! Even better than in France!! 😊 And I even got a little gift at the end, a book, thank you again! …
Barbara Zippusch via Google 5.0 out of 5
Very clean, very relaxed atmosphere. A very empathetic doctor who calmed my fears. The treatment was also very good; I highly recommend it.
Clara Rossi Grant via Google 5.0 out of 5
It is so wonderful to meet a Dentist who cares about your overall health and believes in a holistic approach. Coming from an American experience on healthcare/dental it was refreshing to not be pressured to do needless procedures. Best dental experience I have ever had!!!
Jasmin Zurfluh via Google 5.0 out of 5
I spontaneously wanted to have a whitening tray made for my upper and lower teeth. Luckily, I got an appointment for the next day and was able to pick up the tray the following day. Excellent service, and everything went smoothly. And all at a fair price (3,000 THB). I can recommend the practice!
Richelle Fischer via Google 5.0 out of 5
Amazing care, and staff. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend. Thanks Dr Tee for your calm communication and care.
Ayala Jackson via Google 5.0 out of 5
I came in for a what ended up being a wisdom tooth removal. That was the fastest dental procedure I had ever. Incredibly professional staff! Considering this was my first wisdom tooth removal, I was nervous, but Dr. Tee was calm and had great humor and the nurses held my hand! I will definitely come again for any dental necessity!
Marie Ziron via Google 5.0 out of 5
I went to see Dr. Tee because a piece of my filling had fallen out. I highly recommend Dr. Tee. He is very kind, very competent, and completely put my fears at ease. My tooth feels like new. Now I can continue enjoying my vacation. Thank you so much, Dr. Tee.
