As I mentioned in my previous post a week or so ago we had been told about
Bali 911 Dental Clinic
They take a couple of weeks to reply to email queries but heard you could just turn up and pretty much could get in straight away. As our trip was spur of the moment we just took a punt and showed up at the Kuta branch of 911Dentist. They were booked out so we took the taxi straight to Denpasar. The street outside might look grubby in comparison to Western standards but the front is swept a few times a day and the inside is clean although a bit worn.
For a crown and I believe veneers too - you need to allow at least a 10 day trip - the crown takes 5 days to make after the initial consultation. The day we went back for the fitting was a very long day. Our appointment was for 1pm. After having our new crown fitted to size it then went next door for glazing which took an hour or more. The clinic does have water, tea, coffee making facilities, and these little sachets of like a rice porridge stuff that you add hot water to. I would recommend maybe just carrying some food with you if you use the Denpasar branch, as there doesn't seem to be much close around (although I didn't think to research that before we went) . There is a toilet there too. The Kuta one is located in a shopping centre so that is no problem for food, toilet or entertainment while waiting. There is also a laptop in Denpasar for free wifi access while you wait. The waiting room is quite small and sometimes full and a few people hang out the front - smokers mainly of course. There aren't any seats out the front and the parking area is usually filled with cars and drivers waiting for their customers inside the clinic. I'm sure the clinic would call a taxi for you after your consultation so that shouldn't be a problem.
Like I said previously, there is a 5 year guarantee on crowns and 1 year on veneers. All in all I am happy with the experience and would definitely go again.
