Dentist and Dental Clinic License in Thailand

Dentist and Dental Clinic License with SiamConsult

Planning to open a dental clinic or offer dental services in Thailand?
You’ll need a certified Dentist License and Dental Clinic Registration—strictly regulated by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health and the Thai Dental Council.

Only licensed Thai dentists (or foreigners with special approval under BOI or official medical cooperation programs) can legally provide dental care. The clinic itself must also be registered, inspected, and approved as a medical establishment, equipped with the correct facilities, sterilization protocols, and staff who are fully qualified. Don’t worry: SiamConsult can handle the process, step by step.
