I felt pain in my tooth, so I visited BIDC Hospital. At the hospital, I met Dr. Preeda Pungpapong, who explained my problem and performed a small surgery. At first, I was nervous, but during surgery, I felt minimal pain. The doctor’s technique and experience ensured my treatment was safe and less painful. I sincerely recommend him to patients.
I underwent dental implant surgery at BIDH Dental Hospital. I would say I had a good experience with Dr. Preeda Pungpapong. He carefully listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained to me the procedure. He also made me comfortable with his kind words. He is one of the best dentists in Thailand.
