Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

Some of these dental clinics, like Beijing UFH or SOS are just too expensive for me. I am here for a year and don't have health insurance but I am not interested in going to one of these local places like Arail or King. Is there any other English-speaking international dental clinic here that is actually more affordable than the others? my teeth are very important to me, Please help.


Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

"International" healthcare in China will always be more expensive than its local counterparts. And while international healthcare providers often have a higher standard of care, safety, and service, this is not always the case. There are many fine local dental clinics in Beijing that offer service that is just as good, if not better, than BJU or SOS' dental offerings, and for a far cheaper price.

However, if for whatever reason you don't want to try a local clinic and want better price options than other international ones, I can recommend IDC Dental. Excellent clinic, very good dentists and they have different "tiers" of pricing depending on which dentist you choose.

If you're just going for a cleaning for example, it's 380 RMB for a senior dentist, and 280 for a junior dentist. That's almost half the price as BJU or SOS for the same level of service and quality. I believe you can also see a western-trained specialist for around 500 RMB for a cleaning, which is similar to BJU or SOS but still on the cheaper side.

I saw Dr. Wu (senior dentist) for a cleaning and check-up a few months ago and was very pleased with the value. Just as good as BJU.

It's nice to see that people care about dental health on TBJ!

I don't know why you're against Arrail, however I've had a very good experience at their Jianguoman branch (in the Citic building).

And it's not that expensive when you buy the prepay cards on Taobao - 2 cleanings (within one year) + 1 dental xray is only around 300 RMB. I've actually scheduled my second cleaning for this weekend.

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

I'm going to second IDC Dental! I had such a great experience there and I totally agree with the good prices. I'm getting all my dental stuff done there now Big Grin

I dunno, Nidaye, I can understand Frank cause I'm not super confident in my Chinese and when it comes to health-related things I just want to go somewhere I feel really confident and IDC did that. They also had great service. Maybe I'm just super Americanized or something but I don't think I'd ever feel great going to a local place. Anyway each to his own blahblah and it's good that we have choices here at all Smile

While I haven't seen any foreign dentists at Arrail, I wouldn't classify it as a "local" clinic - they are targeting foreigners and Chinese upper class. Also, according to the classifieds here all of their dentists speak English. This is a big step up from the truly local places and oral hospitals (none of which are listed on this site btw). If you are referring to the lack of foreign dentists at Arrail, that may be true. However, even IDC has some Chinese dentists.

Anyways, I'm not knocking IDC, just voicing my good experience and presenting an alternative.

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

It depends on your Chinese skill, I went to a local dentist, had very clean office and equipment, they spoke no English, but with that said any dentist can say some English words I am sure, like open your mouth, close your mouth, rinse, spit, etc.
I got a very good cleaning, x-rays, and examination for under 300rmb. You have to be able to get past the language thing but as the guy above said dentists here are pretty good if not better than many in other western countries.

I have also heard from many Chinese that they go to hospitals when they need to see a dentist and they swear by it, saying the best dentists work in the hospitals. I am still more comfortable going to a dentist office, I feel it is the other way around.

Anyway, if it is just a cleaning and x-rays I would go to any dentist, English or not, they will do a good job. If things get more complicated then maybe you will need someone who speaks English.

Hi which is the clinic you had your treatment? Thanks.

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

I have had SDM dentists recommended to me. Their website is http://www.sdmdental.com/en/index.php Don't rely on their website booking system, they don't check it. Their English seemed ok on the phone but I can't comment yet on their fees except to say that the consultation fee seems very reasonable.

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

IDC Dental. As soon as I entered, I knew I made a choice. And happy about it a year and a half after. Doing my ortho there.

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

Have literally just finished at IDC Dental (the anaesthetic is still wearing off) and wanted to give a big recommend to them. Not sure if they are the cheapest but I really freak out about going to see dentists and they made me feel as relaxed as I could be. I have to go back 4 more times as I had a big abscess and need to have a root canal done followed by a crown. Can't say I'm looking forward to going back but I'm certainly not worried about and that is the biggest recommend I can give any dentist!

Dr Wu made me the most comfortable I have been at any dentist in years. My wife and mother-in-law have been to Chinese dental hospitals in recent years and have been happy with the work but I'm just not brave enough to go!

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

IDC is having a Kids Day event on the 24th SEP (Saturday). Kids get to have check-ups for FREE. It's a chance to actually see the clinic in action and not pay for anything. But then, only for kids. haha

Re: Most AFFORDABLE international style dental clinic in BJ?

which local dentist did you end up going to? I speak Chinese so language is not a problem. But I do have a set of bad teeth and probably need a several root canals. I would like to keep as much natural teeth structure as possible. Please let me know.

Root canals, now there's a party! I had to have two of them so far in China, I speak Chinese as well but not dental Chinese!

Anyone needing one though knows once finished they are much better than the pain from before doing them!

I think you can go about anywhere in Beijing. The Dental industry here seems to be advanced, modern, and safe. If the language is not a problem then most places will be fine.

Price is a different story! I got one quote for about 10,000 for a root canal then another for 1300 rmb. I went with the 1300rmb quote and they did a great job.

If you really want to know where you can PM me but it is just some small office in Haidian, not a big name place.

Had a one of my back fangs out here, no problem with pain after... very clean and inexpensive although you'll need Chinese to talk to them.
