TLDR : Answer Summary
A Dental Treatment Visa (DTV) may be obtained if you have a detailed treatment plan from a reputable clinic in Thailand, typically requiring at least six months of planned treatment. However, recent experiences suggest that approval rates have decreased, leading many to receive a standard single-entry tourist visa instead. Some users suggest alternatives, like enrolling in courses, as a more straightforward approach for entry into Thailand.

Just book a MT or cooking course.

You’ll need a proper long-term treatment plan from a reputable clinic or hospital. It used to be very easy, but that was months ago. Many people are now getting declined when trying to go through this pathway.

It was very easy when DTV first implemented. Pal got his from UK with 4 appointments over 2 months. I doubt very much it would be approved today.

Yes but only if you've been to the clinic , got a detailed treatment plan for at least 6 months. You would probably be given a single entry tourist visa instead for simple treatment.
