General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Pattaya Smile Dental Clinic is a private dental clinic on South Pattaya Road, operating as a branch of the Smile Dental Group. The English-language website lists five dentists with their specializations, covering aesthetic and implant dentistry, orthodontics, and general dentistry. A THB price list is published on the site as an image, and the clinic markets itself to international and medical-tourism patients.
Price list is published only as an image file (uploaded 2017), so some amounts are hard to read and may be outdated. Two email addresses are used ([email protected] and [email protected]). Clinic license number 20103002050 is displayed on the site. Instagram and TikTok accounts are also linked. The site has a Thai version at /th/ with English as the main language. Opening hours are not published on the website. WhatClinic reviews are old (2007-2014); a current Google Maps rating could not be verified through accessible sources.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against the Dental Council of Thailand register (dentalcouncil.or.th/FindDentist): the clinic's own Thai-language team page supplied an exact Thai-script name for 1 of its 5 listed dentists (Dr. Akanit Tattananurat), and the registry confirmed her licence (since 06 May 2016, DDS Chiang Mai University). The other 4 dentists have no Thai-script name published on the clinic's site, so could not be searched in this Thai-script-only register; left untouched. Clinic establishment license was already on file (20103002050) and not re-verified this pass. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and address/phone unchanged; recorded first Google reputation capture (4.8, 949 reviews, geo, Maps URL) and reviewRecency within_3_months. |
| 2026-07-08 | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
