Dentist's on Koh Tao
Whether you need emergency dental care or just want to take advantage of some great value cosmetic procedures, you don’t need to leave Koh Tao. The idea of an unexpected visit to the dentist on your trip to Koh Tao is probably not a particularly appealing one. In the event it becomes a reality, you’ll be pleased to know there are services available to help.
normally, if you need emergency dental assistance and have travel insurance, the cost of any procedures can be reimbursed. However, it is generally standard practice for you to pay at the point of treatment. Then claim back from your insurance policy at a later date.

Koh Tao Hospital Dentist Care
The Koh Tao Hospital is located just off the ‘up road’ at the bottom of the hill in Mae Haad, is well signposted, and is just a couple of minutes walk from all of the ferry piers.
The hospital’s dental services are available to both locals and tourists. They tend to be used more for emergency treatment than cosmetic dentist procedures. As it is a government-run hospital, it is more popular for those on a budget. It does still provide modern and practical care.
Please note that you will need to register and show proof of identification at the main reception to make an appointment with the dental department.
