Dr. Sonthi Sirimai: “This smile I made happen.”
Dr. Sonthi Sirimai is a highly respected prosthodontist with extensive expertise, particularly in integrating advanced dental technologies into clinical practice to improve oral health outcomes for Thai patients. He currently serves as the president of the Digital Dentistry Association of Thailand.
With an open mindset and a readiness to adopt new technologies, Dr. Sonthi has become one of Thailand’s leading dentists, renowned for embracing and mastering advanced innovations such as veneers—cosmetic restorations crafted from ceramic materials to refine each tooth’s shape, color, and overall aesthetic appearance. These treatments help patients achieve brighter, more confident smiles, empowering them to live life to the fullest and pursue greater success and a better future.
Dr. Sonthi is deeply passionate about digital dentistry, a field he values greatly because it “transforms patients’ lives and improves their quality of living. Digital dentistry integrates intraoral scanning with state-of-the-art CAD/CAM systems to design and prepare restorations with exceptional precision. This approach significantly shortens treatment timelines—from several weeks to just a few hours.
For example, dental crowns that traditionally required two to three visits, spaced weeks apart, can now be completed in a single appointment. Using digital technologies, a dentist can create a new smile within hours, instantly restoring a patient’s confidence.
Beyond his commitment to advanced technologies, Dr. Sonthi places exceptional value on understanding and genuinely empathizing with each patient. No two patients are alike; each comes with unique needs, concerns, and expectations. For him, effective dentistry begins with attentive listening and a deep understanding of the individual, allowing tailored care with precision. He also believes in empowering patients with a clear understanding of the benefits, limitations, and potential risks of each treatment option, enabling them to make well-informed decisions and select the approach that best aligns with their needs.
With MedPark Hospital’s commitment to becoming “The Ultimate Destination”—a place where patients can confidently entrust their health, regardless of celebrity or VIP status—Dr. Sonthi chooses to join the MedPark team with the aspiration of expanding opportunities to “truly transform patients’ lives for the better.”
Dr. Sonthi also places exceptional importance on education. With over 30 years of accumulated expertise, he actively shares his knowledge and experience with fellow dentists, aiming to advance the profession for the greater benefit of patients. He has spoken at numerous seminars, produced educational video content, and developed online platforms focused on techniques, technologies, and innovations in restorative and prosthetic dentistry. His contributions span the full spectrum of oral rehabilitation—from correcting structural abnormalities and performing dental implant procedures to fabricating crowns, bridges, and dentures—all aimed at restoring proper dental function, enhancing chewing efficiency, and helping patients regain the confidence to smile naturally once again.
