Why International Patients Choose DDS

• Longstanding reputation, established in 1988, in Phuket Town.

Treatments & Technology

• Dental implants & full-arch treatment: All-on-4/6 options use titanium posts that replace tooth roots and support fixed teeth for confident eating and smiling.
• Crowns & veneers: Porcelain or zirconia shells or caps that repair teeth or upgrade your smile.
• Root canals: Endodontic treatment, or deep cleaning inside a tooth, to relieve pain and help save it. Microscopes help dentists see tiny details.
• Dentures & overdentures: Removable options; overdentures clip to implants for better hold.
• Whitening & hygiene: Laser or in-office whitening, take-home kits, cleanings, and fillings.
• Diagnostics: Panoramic and 3D X-rays used to plan predictable treatment.

Who It’s Ideal For

• Travelers planning implants or multi-tooth smile work during a Phuket stay.
• Budget-conscious patients seeking quality materials and clear quotes.

Location & Getting There

DDS Dental Clinic is in Phuket Town, in the Muang District. From Phuket International Airport (HKT), plan about 45–60 minutes by taxi or rideshare, such as Grab. From Patong or Kata/Karon, allow 25–45 minutes depending on traffic. In town, metered taxis and Grab are convenient; parking can be limited around Old Town streets.

Booking & Coordination

Reserve through Dental Departures for a best-price guarantee, appointment coordination, and 24/7 support. Share any recent X-rays or scans before you fly; this helps the team pre-plan your case and allocate lab time so your treatment fits your dates.

• Crown and veneer cases often fit a 7–14 day window, depending on the case.
• Cleanings, fillings, and in-office whitening are usually single-visit services.
• Ask for your written treatment plan, materials, and any warranty terms before starting.
