Two real clusters: Khao Lak/Takua Pa and Phang Nga town
Phang Nga province's dental care splits into two genuine local clusters rather than one central hub: several named clinics along Phetkasem Road in Khao Lak and Takua Pa serve the coast's large tourism and expat population, while a separate pair of clinics in Phang Nga town (Mueang Phang Nga district) serves the provincial capital inland. Between them, routine and most common procedures are well covered locally. For complex oral surgery, full-mouth work or advanced cosmetic dentistry, Phuket -- roughly 1-1.5 hours from Khao Lak -- is the realistic destination most residents would turn to. This guide covers Phang Nga's real clinics, what things cost, and when to make the trip to Phuket. For area context, use the BAANLYY Phang Nga hub.
Clinics in Khao Lak, Takua Pa & Phang Nga town
Khaolak Dental Clinic
At 5/55 Moo 7, Phetkasem Road, Khuek Khak subdistrict, Takua Pa district (Khao Lak's main strip) -- open Mon-Fri 17:00-20:00 and weekends/holidays 09:00-18:00, a schedule built around holiday and shift-work patterns in the resort area.
Khaolak Dental Home
At 21/20 Moo 7, Phetkasem Road, Khuek Khak subdistrict, Takua Pa district (tel. 076-485-895), open daily 11:00-21:00. Offers orthodontics, implants, teeth whitening and root canal therapy, marketed toward both residents and international patients.
Luckyim Dental Clinic
On Phetkasem Road, Bang Nai subdistrict, Takua Pa district -- open Mon-Fri 09:00-20:00, Sat-Sun 09:00-17:00, a longer-hours option for residents based in Takua Pa town itself rather than the Khao Lak beach strip.
Deebuk Dental Clinic — Takua Pa & Phang Nga branches
Deebuk Dental Clinic runs a Takua Pa branch at 44/1 Senaratsadorn Road, Takua Pa subdistrict, and a separate Phang Nga town branch (opposite Deebuk Phang Nga School, next to TTB Bank, open daily 09:00-20:00, tel. 095-429-9996) -- useful if you split time between Khao Lak and the provincial capital.
Takua Pa Hospital — out-of-hours dental clinic
At 39/1 Phetkasem Road, Takua Pa, the public Takua Pa Hospital runs an out-of-hours (nok wela ratchakan) dental clinic -- typically the most affordable option, though with less English-language support and more limited appointment slots than the private clinics above.
Phang-nga Dental Clinic
At 92/50-51 Sirinart Road, Tai Chang subdistrict, Mueang Phang Nga district (tel. 084-898-4833), open Mon-Fri 08:30-19:00, Sat-Sun 08:30-17:00. Offers general dentistry, oral surgery and orthodontics -- the main private option for residents based in the provincial capital rather than Khao Lak.
What dental care costs
Pricing in Phang Nga is in line with the wider region and noticeably cheaper than Bangkok's premium clinics. Guide ranges in THB, private clinic pricing:
| Procedure | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Routine check-up & clean | THB 500–1,500 |
| Simple filling | THB 500–1,500 |
| Tooth extraction (simple) | THB 800–2,500 |
| Root canal treatment | THB 4,000–12,000 |
| Crown (porcelain/zirconia) | THB 8,000–20,000 |
| Teeth whitening | THB 3,000–8,000 |
| Dental implant (single) | THB 35,000–70,000 |
| Braces/orthodontics (full course) | THB 30,000–90,000 |
Costs vary by clinic, complexity and materials used -- always get a written quote before committing to major work, especially implants, crowns or orthodontics.
When to head to Phuket instead
For complex oral surgery, full-mouth reconstruction, advanced cosmetic dentistry or specialist orthodontics, Phuket -- roughly 1-1.5 hours from Khao Lak by road -- has a considerably larger concentration of clinics, including internationally accredited hospitals with dedicated dental departments built around medical-tourism patients. Phang Nga's local clinics are well suited to routine and most common procedures; Phuket is the realistic option for anything more involved. See BAANLYY's Phuket dental care guide for that city's fuller directory.
Phang Nga dental care questions
Are there real dental clinics in Khao Lak?
Yes -- Khao Lak and neighbouring Takua Pa town have several genuine, named clinics: Khaolak Dental Clinic and Khaolak Dental Home, both on Phetkasem Road in Khuek Khak subdistrict, Luckyim Dental Clinic and a Deebuk Dental Clinic branch in Takua Pa town, plus Takua Pa Hospital's public out-of-hours dental clinic. Between them, routine care and most common procedures are well covered locally.
Is there dental care in Phang Nga town itself?
Yes -- Phang-nga Dental Clinic on Sirinart Road and a separate Deebuk Dental Clinic branch both operate in Mueang Phang Nga district, the provincial capital, giving residents based there a private option without needing to travel to Khao Lak or Phuket.
How much does dental treatment cost in Phang Nga?
Pricing is broadly in line with the rest of provincial Thailand and noticeably cheaper than Bangkok's premium clinics: a routine check-up and clean typically runs THB 500-1,500, a simple filling THB 500-1,500, and a single dental implant THB 35,000-70,000. Always get a written quote before committing to major work, especially implants, crowns or orthodontics.
When should I go to Phuket instead for dental work?
For complex oral surgery, full-mouth reconstruction, advanced cosmetic dentistry or specialist orthodontics, Phuket -- roughly 1-1.5 hours from Khao Lak by road -- has a considerably larger concentration of clinics, including internationally accredited hospitals with dedicated dental departments serving medical-tourism patients. Phang Nga's local clinics are well suited to routine and most common procedures, but Phuket is the realistic option for anything more involved.
Is dental tourism common in Khao Lak?
Some Khao Lak clinics, like Khaolak Dental Home, do market toward international and holidaying patients alongside local residents, given the area's large tourism base. That said, Phang Nga's dental scene is considerably smaller than Phuket's, which is the region's established medical-tourism hub -- treat Khao Lak's clinics as solid for routine and moderate care, and Phuket as the destination for larger, planned dental-tourism procedures.
