Super expensive. I paid 11800 baht for a simple tooth extraction.
The dentist put my head 3 times in a CT scan to charge me more. The first one was justified, but then he needed a 3D to be sure, and then another one after the removal to be even more sure? He later showed me a camera picture of a visible empty gum sack, which he had taken during the procedure. So, it wasn't necessary to send me for the 3rd CT, as CT is only advised when it justifies the risks. He was a so-called specialist, but he also had a PhD in milking people.
Answer to their reply:
There was no surgery; it was a simple tooth extraction.
I told the dentist myself that I have inflammation in my sinus, and that was my initial reason to go to a specialist. First, I visited a local dentist and underwent a narrow-beam CT scan, after which they advised me to consult a specialist. Also, I said to him that I've been taking Amoxicillin for that for 4 days, and now the pain is gone. He specifically told me I didn't need surgery, and it was a smooth extraction.
If there were a surgery, it would have been reflected in the bill I attached, and I would have been charged more.
The first CT scan showed there are no complications with the sinuses. I wouldn't mind paying more to a specialist, but why put my head in CT three times (2x360 and 1 3D) for a tooth extraction?
