Patients Beyond Borders Thailand Edition: Everybody's Guide to Affordable, World-Class Medical Tourism

This book is very informative. I used some of the information to contact consolidators. They helped me set up an appointment.

I bought this book because I needed all my teeth crowned and a couple of implants. The book does provide valid information. The pricing of having all your teeth re-done is not too far off from what I would pay in Montreal Canada. In any case, the book puts things in perspective. I subsequently discovered that very few dentist really know what they are doing and very few are really capable of re-doing a whole mouth ! Doing the work overseas means getting the dental work fast ! For dental work, you would need a long vacation, as the dentist should first make a complete overlay in your mouth to see if you are comfortable for 2 weeks or so and can still pronounce vowels without feeling you have marbles in your mouth ! Look for a dentist with a cupboard full of dental work of mouth reconstruction ! In any case I found a dentist at $1,000. a crown while some where at $1,500 to $2,000 a crown. I found this dentist by referrals from others such as the endo dentist(root canal specialist) or a gum specialist who sees a lot of work from different dentist. Dentist who teach , I generally found them to be almost worse...Having it done locally has the advantage to sort of following a more normal pace along with your cash flow...Back to the book: its worth reading and part of your homework to make up your mind how to proceed...
