One of BIDH ’ s key strengths is its team of top dental specialists in Thailand . The majority of our specialists are American Board , overseas , or local board certified . Each has over 10 years of experience in their fields of expertise . Many are international speakers and professors that also teach other local dental specialists at top dental universities in Thailand . Our high calibre team of specialists can reassure patients that they will receive not only successful dental treatments at BIDH but also skilled aesthetics procedures for natural-looking teeth .
Patient safety is one of BIDH ’ s core focuses .

Our dental units undergo automated self-cleaning and tracking of maintenance cycle gear in adherence to a strict code of cleanliness . BIDH employs hospital-based sterilisation standards with controlled centralised sterilisation , water quality checks , and biological and chemical checks with the aim of reducing and preventing risks of infection or contamination , as well as increasing

BIDH is also at the forefront of aesthetic dentistry . We are one of the few providers in Thailand with a dedicated on-site dental laboratory .

We use a fully digitalised Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacturing ( CAD / CAM ) dental laboratory able to customise ceramic teeth for our patients . As a specialised dental hospital , BIDH is one of the few dental providers able to provide strict and safe dental sedation using ASA hospital standards . We continue to develop and expand our sedation options for patients with dental phobia and dental anxiety . Just this year in 2022 , BIDH added nitrous oxide ( laughing gas ) to its oral , intravenous ( IV ), and general anesthesia or total sleep dentistry . With improved advanced safety equipment and non-invasive dental techniques , patients now have the option of getting their dental treatments done comfortably without fear .
