DDS Dental Clinic

Why International Patients Choose DDS

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

• Modern equipment and brand-name materials.

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.
• Anyone who prefers a central Phuket Town location over the beach zone.

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.

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.
