Dentist in BKK or Pattaya. Since Im gonna need receding gums sorting out in a year or two, might be worth using this to get a DTV. Can anyone please recommend a good dentist that they have used to get this grim work undertaken? My dentist in the UK reckons its a no-fun series of treatments. Im back in the Kingdom very soon so can drop in for a review at a suitable dentists and get the related paperwork for a DTV application. Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking recommendations for dental clinics in Bangkok or Pattaya to address receding gums, intending to use dental treatment as part of a DTV visa application. Several commenters recommend clinics including Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC), Bumrungrad Hospital, and German Dental in Jomtien. Discussions also clarify that dental work can qualify for a DTV visa, particularly when multiple appointments are needed.

So under the Thai soft power option you can use a medical appointment to get a 5 year stay on a DTV. Seems strange that they would grant you a 5 year visa for a limited time medical appointment. I was only aware of the Thai boxing option under that section.

I've read about cases where 1 medical appointment have been enough, but I think most embassies/consulates ask for a treatment plan/follow up appointments.

yep, since Im looking at several appointments over a prolonged time, a DTV may be handy. Doesn’t make it any less painful!

Workcation (remote work, freelancing etc) is one way to go... The other is "Softpower" such as Muay Thai training, Thai cooking classes, Medical treatment, events related to culture etc.

Had a very good experience with Thonglor Dental Hospital in Bangkok. Two root canals followed by two crowns a week later. Efficient and capable service, mostly pain free (fitting crowns is always unpleasant), great result.

I recently used German Dentist in Jomtien. I was very impressed with the office and standard of care.

I use Bumrungrad for my dental work. Had a cleaning a few days ago and will have a root canal next month. I saw that someone has used Bumrungrad (not sure for what health issue though) for DTV

Also, how does it work? Can I contact say BIDC online , explain my situation, send them my records and get an invitation for an appointment or I have to be physically present in Thailand first?

What are the chances of getting a DTV with dental work in Thailand ? I just got two teeth extracted and my dentist here tells me next move is to do bone graft then implants which takes 1-2 years. So I have legit reason.

I don’t think they look to hard concerning medical issues. I am going to do it with my annual physical at BKK hospital. Remember, you can get a DTV for a basket weaving class.

@Michael *******

ok. I guess the embassy would requires genuine paperwork from the hospital confirming your appointment. Is the hospital willing to write such letter? . I was watching on YT a channel by a Canuck expat (working for you or something) who spent almost $1,000 for a medical check at the hospital But they did check him head to toe !

@Randy *****

yes. They will send the letter. My insurance covers the physical 100 percent. So it is free to me. Also, both my wife and I had one last year.

Michael McNeil Thanks. Guess that’s the easiest route for me to get DTV eventhough I am eligible for O retirement visa. This is what I want to do if asked by immigration 5555 :

I'm doing an implant.

Extraction with graft was in June. Then implant in Oct. Crown in Feb.

They dont suggest waiting more than 3-6 months after extraction and the implant.

Are receding gums sufficient to get a DTV? You're really after a dentist rather than a periodontist?
