Private Dental Clinics on Koh Samui
Private clinics offer fast service, transparent plans, and English-speaking staff. They’re ideal for checkups, cleanings, fillings, whitening, crowns, and even implants (with proper timelines). Bring your passport and any previous dental notes/X-rays if you have them.
PopSmile Dental Clinic (Nathon & Bophut)
Popular with travelers for cleanings, fillings, whitening, and straightforward quotes.
Samui Dental Clinic (Bophut)
Trusted by long-stayers for general dentistry and restorative work.
Dental Design Clinic (Maenam)
Good option on the north coast for crowns, bridges, and general care.
Dental Home (Bophut/Maenam area)

Pricing & Value
Expect significant savings versus Western prices—often 50–75% less for major work like crowns, bridges, and implants. Most clinics itemize costs up front. For complex treatment, ask for a written plan with steps, timelines, and materials (e.g., zirconia vs. porcelain).
When to Go Where
Hospital Dental Clinic (e.g., Samui International Hospital):
Emergency pain, swelling, broken teeth, root-canal assessment, or when you want imaging and specialist backup on site.
Private Clinics (Beauty Smile, Sirinart, Dental Design, Dental Home):
Routine scale & polish, fillings, whitening, crowns/bridges, veneer consults, implant planning.
Timing Note:
If you’re considering crowns/implants/veneers, book early in your trip. Some work needs lab time or staged visits.
Useful Contacts
Medical Emergency (Thailand): 1669
Samui International Hospital (switchboard): 077 230 782
Keep clinic receipts, treatment notes, and X-rays for follow-up or insurance.
Quick Dental Plan
If it’s mild (chip, lost filling, routine clean): message two nearby clinics, send a photo, and book the earliest slot.
If it’s painful (swelling, severe ache): go straight to a hospital dental clinic for assessment and pain control, then continue care at your chosen clinic if needed.
Always confirm: price, materials, number of visits, and post-care instructions before you start.
Night-Time or Weekend?
For out-of-hours pain, head to a hospital ER—they can manage pain relief and antibiotics, then route you to the dental clinic when it opens. Keep your passport, a payment card, and any allergy info handy.
Koh Samui may feel carefree, but when you need dental care—emergency, routine, or cosmetic—help is close, modern, and well organized. Save two clinics near your stay, note the hospital dental number, and you’re covered for anything from a quick clean to an urgent fix or a planned cosmetic upgrade.
