Treatment of caries in HeySmile Dental Clinic

HeySmile Dental Clinic is an independent multi-specialty dental facility in Bangkok's Sukhumvit 21 (Asok) neighborhood. The clinic operates from a single branch designed to serve international patients. It is a 5-minute walk from BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit stations.

Specialized Dental Care and Leadership

The clinic employs 11 Thai-licensed dentists across seven dental departments. Many team members trained at international institutions, including Lund University in Sweden and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Several specialists hold memberships in the Thai Association of Orthodontics and the Thailand Dental Association.

The medical team features specialists with recognized achievements:

• Dr. Chompoonuj Thanyakarn – The first Thai orthodontist featured on the Global Invisalign Gallery.
• Dr. Suwat Teerawattanapong – Head of the Dental Implant team with over 18 years of experience.
• Dr. Chalermporn Budsabong – A board-certified orthodontics specialist and Diplomate of the Thai Board of Orthodontics.
• Dr. Kitichai Singharat – An endodontics specialist focusing on root canal treatments.

Orthodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry

Orthodontic care is a flagship specialty at the clinic. The team uses 3D scanning and digital treatment planning for precision. They manage various alignment systems, including Invisalign and Damon braces. New patients receive a package that includes X-rays, impressions, photos, and a customized plan.

Aesthetic procedures focus on smile restoration through several modern methods:

• Philips Zoom teeth whitening for dentist-supervised brightening in a single visit.
• Digital Smile Design (DSD) to preview results before treatment begins.
• Porcelain veneers for "Hollywood Smile" makeovers.
• Composite fillings and dental crowns tailored to the patient's travel schedule.

Oral Surgery and Implantology

The surgical department is led by Dr. Suwat Teerawattanapong. He completed a residency in the All-on-4 surgical protocol at the Malo Clinic in Portugal. His team performs complex extractions and restorative surgeries. The clinic uses only brand-name implant systems: Straumann, Osstem, Hiossen, and Dentium.

Several surgical and restorative options are available for missing teeth:

• Dental implants including All-on-2, All-on-4, and All-on-6 configurations.
• Bone grafting when required for stable implant placement.
• Surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth using digital panoramic imaging.
• Flexible partial dentures and full dentures for non-surgical restoration.

Root canal treatments save infected teeth without extraction. Dentists use advanced local anesthesia and specialized disinfection techniques, so the process is painless.

Diagnostic and Digital Technology

HeySmile Dental Clinic uses digital tools to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient safety. Cerec Omnicam Scanning creates digital models without traditional impressions. Targeted X-rays and panoramic imaging let specialists assess bone health and root positions before surgery.

Preventive care for conditions like periodontitis involves two cleaning technologies. Traditional ultrasonic scaling removes tartar. AirFlow Polishing uses a gentle stream of water and fine powder to clean without direct tooth contact.

International Patient Services

The clinic publishes a single price list in Thai Baht for local and international visitors. Dentists confirm the exact cost after the initial examination. They provide a written treatment plan on request. Communication is in English at every stage – reception, consultations, and aftercare messaging.

For patients traveling from abroad, lab work for crowns and veneers is planned around their travel dates. The clinic offers booking support via online platforms and WhatsApp. Aftercare for major procedures includes suture checks and clear healing instructions.
