Where do you find dentist in Ubud? Somewhere you can trust, that won't cost a fortune?
Ubud is a small town and dental options are limited compared to Denpasar or Kuta. There are a few dental clinics in central Ubud, mostly along Jalan Raya Ubud and Jalan Monkey Forest. For anything beyond a basic checkup or filling, you're better off heading to Denpasar (about an hour south) where the larger clinics and BIMC Hospital have proper dental departments.
Cost
A basic checkup or cleaning in Ubud costs around 200,000 to 400,000 IDR (12 to 25 USD). Fillings and minor procedures cost more. Denpasar clinics charge a bit higher but have more equipment. Compared to what you'd pay at home, it's very affordable.
Practical tips
Ask your accommodation for a recommendation. The local guesthouses and villas usually know which clinic is reliable. If you're dealing with serious pain or need a root canal, don't wait around in Ubud. Get a Grab to Denpasar where the facilities are better. The BIMC Hospital dental clinic in Kuta is the most internationally-oriented option on the island.
Language
Basic English is spoken at most Ubud clinics, enough to get through a checkup. For complex procedures, Denpasar clinics that cater to expats and tourists will have better English.
Where to go
For a regular checkup or a quick fix, the Ubud clinics are fine. For anything involving X-rays, crowns, or root canals, go to Denpasar. Don't try to tough out dental pain in Bali's humidity and heat, it only gets worse.
With kids
Most dental clinics in Ubud can see children for basic checkups and emergencies. Ubud Dental Clinic and BaliSmile have experience with kids. For anything beyond a basic filling or extraction, Denpasar has more specialized pediatric dental options.
