Dental Veneers In Thailand – Potential Risks That May Involved

If you’re considering dental veneers, Thailand seems to be the place to go if you’re looking to restore your smile at a fraction of the cost of doing so in Australia. That said, getting dental veneers in Thailand poses certain risks and could be a decision you later come to regret. Let’s start by looking at the price factor.

 

Dental Veneers – Thailand Cost Comparison

The price of dental veneers in Australia depends on the type of veneers and how many teeth are involved. For example, porcelain veneers can cost upwards of $1900 per tooth and composite veneers will set you back around $800.

Porcelain dental veneers in Thailand, on the other hand, cost around $350-$450 per tooth and $250 per tooth for composite veneers.

That said, this may not include the cost of anaesthetic and follow-up appointment and don’t forget you still have to factor in travel, food, and board in Bangkok.

 

So, What Are the Risks Involved?

If you decide to travel to Thailand for dental veneers, there are a few risk factors to consider. These include:

• Hygiene – While there are many high-quality dental clinics available in Thailand, it’s hard to know if hygiene standards are as high as they are at home. Lower standards of sterilization could cause cross-contamination of dental tools and expose you to infectious bacteria.
• Less experienced – the low price of dental veneers in Thailand could also be because the dental staff are not as highly trained or experienced in the veneers procedure.
• Sub-standard materials – This too could jeopardize the success of your porcelain veneers and you could need additional dental work on your teeth when you return to Australia.
• Lack of accountability – Many potential complications associated with porcelain veneers occur several weeks later, long after you have returned home. Getting an Australian dentist to correct any issues is likely to cost more than the initial procedure.

If you want dental veneers, Thailand may seem the ideal place to go, but now you know the risks involved, you might want to reconsider.
