"I would not recommend this clinic. Apart from the fact that the surgeon spoke no English and couldn't tell me that he didn't think the crown would succeed, they left a huge lump of cement was left under the gum (visible in x-rays taken by Dr Sunils clinic - see images) and continues to cause infection to this day. The crown was also badly shaped. I have seen 2 specialists here since and it is going to cost more to fix it up than than the original work. See report from Australian specialist attached.
I am very disappointed as they acted very friendly. I have been trying to get some money back from Dr Sunils clinic to get the cement cleaned away. They acknowledge the issue - but will only refund me if I have the whole crown removed and send the crown back to them. Then I would have to start again totally which will cost even more. I would be back to square one and minus all travel and specialist expenses since. Ultimately, they won't actually help so that I can get a satisfactory end result. Their website was dishonest and misleading (re the surgeon). I believe they've removed this now.
It was a very long drive to the clinic (despite what they advertise) and the clinic was not at all like a dental surgery here in Australia. Many of the staff didn't speak English. The clinic was recommended by Global Health Travel, who didn't help me at all when things went wrong. "

Over priced bad dental work. They have two Indian people that are not dentists that act like New Delhi Persian Rug salespersons to get your money
I had 3 implants , 2 bridges done, and fillings $16k AU, then before I left Bangkok went to another reputable dentistry for second opinion of work done.
One implant is too short placed in an area of low bone density , the other is implanted too low , which will require bone removal before a crown can be added .
One of the bridges is a four unit bridge which has been told to me that max should be a 3 unit bridge and the chances of failure of a 4 unit is very high
These two Indian people hand right the prices down and negotiate on the service, very unprofessional, even though they had emailed me a quote of $12k.
On arrival they get Dr Sunil to look at your teeth , even though already had an Xray. (their Xrays are almost double other dentists costs)
First thing he does is ignores what was quoted and comes up with a new plan for $19k AU.,$7k more than first quote.
After going to a reputable dental surgery in Bangkok established there prices are much higher than other Bangkok surgeries and the work is substandard. If you are coming from anywhere in the world, don’t get conned like I did…PLEASE for your own sake go to another dental surgery.
I should have left on the first hour of being in their surgery . The other dental service provider gave me a detailed written quote using an Xray I sent them done in Australia, which was factual and technical. The reason I did not go there was that quote only arrived a couple of days before I left Australia to Bangkok so I had committed to Dr Sunil.
When I confronted one of the Indian Salespersons (POOJA) I showed her the detail of the other dentist and their costs...she did not want to even look at it, it was always about getting the money...nothing more.
For 4 days I went to the surgery and had one of the most harshest dental experiences ever of hours or being treated like a piece of meat to butcher my mouth
Dr Sunils operation is a slick get you in, get your money operation. Stayed at their Bloom accommodation for 1 night...that was enough , if you like 1 star above back packer accommodation that may work for you.
I suspect this review will not make it in full , as I witnessed an employee changing reviews ????????????????
I will post this on an many reviews for days if I have to warn people not to go to Dr Sunils Dental Clinic
