Dentist@Beach

Dentist@Beach is located in the Central Festival Mall, which is between Soi’s 9 & 10, and runs from Beach Road to 2nd Road. They are on the 4th floor near the 2nd Road end of the mall.

 

I did some checking on the internet and this place seemed to have the best price on teeth whitening, only 3900 Baht. Other places seemed to be 5400 to 7000 Baht. I e-mailed them and found I did not need an appointment, I could just come in. After I arrived in Pattaya, I stopped by in the late afternoon on a Monday. They could get me in that evening, which I declined as I had other plans, or at 5 PM Tuesday, which I scheduled. They took my phone number (I didn’t have a phone so I just gave them the number of my hotel, Canterbury Tales). Apparently, they called almost immediately to confirm my upcoming appointment. Needless to say, I wasn’t there and Dave had no idea why they were calling.

 

Anyway, I went in on Tuesday and the first thing they did was offer me some pills in case my teeth were sensitive. I knew they weren’t, as I had this done 4 or 5 years ago in Bangkok, so I declined. First they take a set of fake (I hope) teeth and find the one that matches your “before” color. Then they put a fixture in your mouth which exposes your teeth and is supposed to protect your gums from the gel they use for whitening.

 

Pretty much all whitening is done with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which is unstable and breaks down into water (H2O) and an oxygen atom (O) which is very reactive. The oxygen does the whitening. Home treatments work very slowly because there is a limit to how strong the peroxide can be and how fast it breaks down. In the dentist’s office they can use a gel full of peroxide and cause it to break down unusually fast by using light of the appropriate wavelength to liberate the oxygen, making it much more powerfull and faster acting than home treatments.

 

The light can be a laser or an LED. Everyone charges more for the laser. I’m not sure why. The laser is coherent, but that shouldn’t make much difference. Maybe it’s the power level or a different wavelength. In any event, they also claim the laser will make your teeth a few shades whiter than the LED. Since I had told her my teeth aren’t sensitive, the dentist said she could give me a longer than normal treatment. And she did. I was there for about 1 hour and 45 minutes instead of an hour. No extra charge.

 

After you’re done they remove the fixture, vacuum off the gel and clean up your mouth. We went back to the set of fake teeth to find which one matched my new shade. I was amazed how much whiter my teeth were. A far better result than when I had it done in Bangkok for twice the price.

 

The only downside is that some of the gel leaked out and left a blister on the inside of my upper lip (it’s really potent stuff when it’s activated). The dentist treated it with something on a Q-tip and gave me a small container of the medicine to put more on later if necessary (it wasn’t necessary).

 

I didn’t have any other work done, so I can’t speak to it, but for what I did have I must say Dentist@Beach is fast, efficient, friendly and inexpensive. I wouldn’t hesitate to go there again.

I had work done there myself recently. A check up, 2 x-rays, 5 white fillings and a scale & polish = 3450 baht.

 

Fantastic price and first class service. I couldn't fault them and would recommend them highly.

 

I even wrote them a thank you card!

He shoots...he scores!

I would also like to vouch for this dentist,after reasearch on this site, I went there last week for a clean and scaling, didnt have the bottle for the whitening, although offered. I must add that, this was the first time I have visited a dentists in almost 30 years, what aint broke dont need fixing,right? Just walked in, they stated they could fit me in, in a couple of hours, took my number, and said they would call me. The call came earlier than expected, went back and had the process done, clean, efficient and friendly, no problems at all. Damage 1200 Bhat. Very happy.

The best engine in the world is the vagina. It can be started with one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And changes its own oil every four weeks. It is only a pity that the management system is so fucking temperamental.

I have an appointment there in October to have a crown and whitening done so it's good to hear some complimentary reviews. They are very efficient in replying to inquiries which I can't say for any of the other places I contacted.

Is it not true though, after the treatment you cannot eat certain things after the treatment?

Holy sheet, that is well expensive! I suppose us in the UK are lucky with our NHS. I can't remember the max you have to pay for work if you do it as a one treatment programme but it is around £300.

 

I had 2 root canals 2 crowns and 3 fillings last year I think it was around £280.

Wha's like us?

They ask that you avoid coffee, tea, cola and similar dark things for a day or two after the whitening. Over the long term these are what darken your teeth, so if you never have any of them your teeth will be whiter to start with.

I had my teeth whitend there to. Also had the accident with the GEL , but nice result although they work pretty hard on your teeth compared with back home. Remember no coffee, cola, vine and BEER ! for two days - Gin & Tonic ok - Boy did I hate gin & Tonic after those two days :D

Had mine done last February. The dentist could only whiten them 50% as I have porcelan crowns that don't whiten so he had to match the whitened teeth to the crowns, which were matched to my yellowed teeth. He charged me 100%. :WTF1:

Every hole a goal.

Condoms kill boners. Save the boners.

im already booked with them for when i eventually get back, but only go for old fillings to be removed and replaced with new ones, maybe get them whitened withe the new fillings but wait and see,

 

but the good thing is that they are fully prepared to do all my treatment in a day or for aslong as i can sit and get work done,

That could be a problem for me also. I have three crowns on the front teeth. I might just sping for it and get them all replaced.
