subject: Choosing A Dental Clinic In Phuket Thailand [print this page] Phuket is the largest city in Thailand and offers some of the best choices for your Thai Dental Holiday.
Thousands travel to Phuket every year to get their dental work done. Then when everything is finished, they enjoy the natural beauty of the beaches and the incredible shopping available to them.
If you know Phuket is where you want to go for your dental work, you have a little work to do for the next step. How to find the right clinic in Phuket? Follow these guidelines we have laid out for you and it will be "easy as pie".
Accreditation. You want to make sure you have quality work done with quality assurances. Make sure the facility you are looking at has an international accreditation for dental work.
Facility. What kind of facility does this clinic offer? Does it have all the amenities you'd expect to have if you went to your local dentist? Just because you are traveling abroad for your dental work, do not think you have to lose out on the quality of the facility. You want to make sure private rooms are available, there is air conditioning throughout the whole building, and a staff that can attend to your needs.
Size. How big is the facility? How many clients does it treat a month? These are questions you need to make sure you have the answers to. The size of the facility can be an indicator of the quality to expect.
References. Do not hesitate to do your own independent research. Take a look at the blogs and forums in Phuket. By a simply internet search, you will find many Phuket websites with a variety of information from health care to recommended restaurants.
Also, be sure to post questions. If you have a broad question or a very isolated question regarding one clinic, write it on the forum. There is a good chance someone will come across it and provide the answers you seek.
I am a big fan of the above method. Why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to. Others have already done this research before, use this as a valuable information tool.
Social Circle. Use your social circle. Even if you only know ten people, those ten people know ten, then they know ten, etc... Ask your family, friends, and peers for a recommendation or if they know anyone who has taken a Thai Dental Holiday. You may be surprised by the outcome.
If you are on Facebook or Twitter, post a message on your page.
Talk with the Dentist. Once you've narrowed it down to a few facilities, talk to the Dentist who will be helping you. Do you understand them when they talk? Do they ask for your dental records? Do they ask you the type of questions you'd expect to be asked? Get a feel for the dentist.
There are enough tools available to you where you can find anything you want on your Phuket Dental Clinic.
Please note, there a couple of things you should be sure of before you go ahead and fly to Phuket.
Make sure the procedure you are undertaking does not require much follow up or post examinations. If possible, keep the follow up exams to one or two and make sure they will be done in the time you are spending in Thailand. You do not want to have to fly back for a follow up appointment.
Also, to save yourself some hassle, make sure your hotel is near your clinic. If you require some recovery time, this will save you quite a bit of stress.
