DDC holds the distinction of being the sole Invisalign Diamond Provider in both Pattaya City and the entire Eastern region of Thailand — the highest Invisalign provider tier. The clinic has received multiple international awards including the Best Dentists in Thailand 2018 Global Patients' Choice Award from Dental Departures, with further institutional recognition from the University of Adelaide, NYU Dentistry, the University of Toronto, the ICOI (International Congress of Oral Implantologists), and the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry). DDC is open Monday to Friday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and provides free online consultations, airport pickup, and hotel booking assistance for international patients.
Why Choose The Dental Design Center
DDC's clinical credentials are among the strongest of any independent dental clinic in Thailand. Dr. Ken Kasidis, the clinic's implantologist and prosthodontist, has placed over 10,000 dental implants across more than 20 different implant systems over a career spanning more than 20 years, with training from the University of Toronto — one of the world's leading dental schools. A documented testimonial from a gynecologist from South Australia describes seven implants and four crowns placed across multiple visits as "absolutely perfect, so accurate, and so quick and clean." Dr. Ning Porndee, the clinic's orthodontist and prosthodontist, graduated from New York University and has successfully completed over 1,000 Invisalign cases — an exceptional volume even by Diamond Provider standards. Each specialist is granted privileges strictly within their own discipline: implants exclusively by implantologists, braces by orthodontists, root canals by endodontists. This structure — rare in independent clinics — ensures patients receive genuine specialist-level care rather than generalist approximations.
Treatments and Specialties
Dental implants — single tooth, multiple teeth, and All-on-4 same-day full-arch replacement — are performed by Dr. Kasidis across 20+ implant systems with bone grafting and sinus lift capability. Invisalign clear aligners are managed by DDC's sole Diamond Provider orthodontist. Porcelain veneers transform smiles with ceramic facings. Cosmetic crowns and bridges use Empress Emax and monolithic zirconia ceramics for natural-looking restorations. Smile makeovers combine multiple treatments with digital smile design. Full mouth rehabilitation restores complex cases comprehensively. Teeth whitening brightens tooth shade. Braces correct alignment orthodontically. Laser gum treatment and gum lifting and contouring reshape the gum line. Root canal treatment is performed by endodontists. Dentures and general dentistry complete the full clinical scope.

Empress Emax and monolithic zirconia ceramic materials are used for cosmetic crowns and bridges. Each specialist operates within their own area of privilege, ensuring treatments are performed only by appropriately credentialed practitioners.
