Summary
Pattaya Smile Dental Clinic is a private dental clinic on South Pattaya Road, operating as a branch of the Smile Dental Group. The English-language website lists five dentists with their specializations, covering aesthetic and implant dentistry, orthodontics, and general dentistry. A THB price list is published on the site as an image, and the clinic markets itself to international and medical-tourism patients.
Price list is published only as an image file (uploaded 2017), so some amounts are hard to read and may be outdated. Two email addresses are used ([email protected] and [email protected]). Clinic license number 20103002050 is displayed on the site. Instagram and TikTok accounts are also linked. The site has a Thai version at /th/ with English as the main language. Opening hours are not published on the website. WhatClinic reviews are old (2007-2014); a current Google Maps rating could not be verified through accessible sources.
