    I've had a front tooth white filling re-done while in Bangkok a few years ago.  It was less than half the price of NHS work and a much better match.

    Done by Bangkok Smile...they have half a dozen branches around Bangkok.   I now go there for cleaning every now and then.
    But, when you do your insurance and the first question is ...'are you travelling for medical procedures?' .... what do you say? 😉

    For something like £25 or less (my best recollection from about 15 years ago) I didn't even think about insurance.
    Having lasted that long and still without any problems and all but invisible, I'm content with the situation.

    Sorry, I'll rephrase my question ....

    “No”. Because nobody on this thread is talking about travelling for medical procedures, they just happen to need something done while they’re away.

    I think the poster means that they're in Bangkok, and that's the dentist they recommend to the OP - not that they book a longhaul flight just to have their teeth polished.
