Dental tourism has been a growing trend in recent years, with more and more people traveling to other countries to receive dental care at lower costs. One country that has become increasingly popular for dental tourism is Thailand, known for its world-class dental clinics and highly trained dentists. One clinic in particular, Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, has recently gained attention for its unique offering: accepting passports as a form of payment.
Located in the heart of Bangkok, Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic is a modern facility that offers a wide range of dental services, from routine cleanings and fillings to more complex procedures like dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. The clinic is staffed by a team of skilled and experienced dentists who are trained in the latest techniques and technologies in the field.
The idea to accept passports as payment came about as a way to cater to the growing number of international patients seeking dental care at the clinic. Many of these patients come from countries where insurance coverage for dental care is limited or non-existent, making dental treatment prohibitively expensive. By accepting passports as payment, Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic is able to offer these patients a more affordable alternative for their dental needs.
“We understand that dental care can be costly, especially for patients traveling from abroad,” says Dr. Somsak, head dentist at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic. “By accepting passports as payment, we hope to make dental treatment more accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of where they come from.”
To pay with their passport, patients simply present their passport at the time of payment, and the clinic converts the cost of the treatment into the equivalent amount in their home currency. The clinic also offers payment plans and financing options for those who may not be able to pay the full amount upfront.
The concept of using passports as payment has garnered attention from both local and international media, with many praising Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic for its innovative approach to making dental care more accessible. The clinic has seen a steady increase in the number of international patients since implementing the policy, with many patients citing the affordability and quality of care as the main reasons for choosing the clinic.
“I came to Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic for a dental implant, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and affordable it was to pay with my passport,” says Maria, a patient from Australia. “The staff were so professional and the quality of care was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for dental treatment abroad.”
While some may be skeptical of the idea of using passports as payment, Dr. Somsak is quick to reassure patients that their passports are safe and secure at the clinic. “We take the privacy and security of our patients very seriously,” he says. “Rest assured that your passport will be kept safe and only used for payment purposes.”
As dental tourism continues to grow in popularity, clinics like Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic are finding innovative ways to attract and cater to international patients. By accepting passports as payment, the clinic is not only making dental care more affordable for patients from around the world but also setting a new standard for excellence in dental tourism.
