Is there any specific destination in Southeast Asia famed for dentistry?

Thailand. I’ve lived n BKK for a couple of years and never had any problems with Thantakit International. Had a couple of root canal treatments, fillings and cleanings. The place mainly provides dental treatments to expats and most of the dentists were trained in the US so I never had an issue in terms of communication and services. Of course, you should be very cautious in picking a health and dental facility. Even some of my friends go on a dental holiday in Thailand. Two of them stayed there for good. 🙂

If you still haven’t been yet, and you’ll be passing through Bangkok I have had positive experiences working with Bangkok International Dental Center (professionally). They have lots of international accreditations (JCI, ISO) and also work with Straumann (really good Swiss dental implants) which is another testament to their high standards.

Prices are very reasonable and they pride themselves on being very open and upfront about prices so no surprises 🙂

Good luck and hope you get it sorted!

You likely will be able to find good dental clinics in Kuala Lumpur, but I have no firsthand experience.

Thailand does have good dental services, reasonable pricing and properly trained dentists and dental surgeons. Quite a large number of folks come to Thailand specifically for dental work such as implants, crowns, etc. But also for general cleanings and check ups as costs are quite low. Plus a fair number of the dentists at the better clinics received their training and certification abroad in places like the USA, Australia, etc.

If you peruse the Bangkok and Chiang Mai forums on TripAdvisor you will find quite a few threads with dental clinic info and recommendations. You will also find a number of threads on the ThaiVisa forum as well.
