Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand is one of the most desirable holiday locations in Southeast Asia and has grown in popularity in recent years as a dental tourism destination. But how do the prices and standards of treatments in Chiang Mai compare with Australia or New Zealand? Keep reading to find out. 

Dental Tourism for Aussies and Kiwis

Australians and New Zealanders have been visiting Thailand for decades and were some of the first holidaymakers to help catapult the Thailand tourism industry to the lofty heights we see today. As well as the culture, food, stunning landscapes and shopping bargains, Aussies and Kiwis now have another reason to visit: to take advantage of low-cost dental treatment. Patients can get a complete mouth makeover in Chiang Mai for thousands less than back home—and enjoy a memorable holiday at the same time. 

The prices at Thailand's mouth makeover clinics for treatments, such as those offering the All-on-4® treatment concept, are more than 60% less than in Australia or New Zealand, one of the main contributing factors for foreign patients visiting places such as Chiang Mai.

A complete mouth makeover uses all manner of treatments such as crowns, dentures, veneers and/or implants to fix any missing or broken teeth with the aim of creating a bright, straight smile that patients can be proud of.
