Short answer: Clinics advertising to international patients operate across south Bali, including Seminyak and Canggu. Denpasar is the provincial capital and home to the Australian Consulate-General. Smartraveller says the standard of medical facilities in Indonesia is lower than in Australia (Smartraveller (opens official site)). The Australian Dental Association advises Australians to have elective dental care in Australia (ADA (opens official site)). In a medical emergency, call 119, or 118 for an ambulance.

Why one page? People search for these areas mostly alongside a treatment, such as “veneers Bali Seminyak”. They’re close together and share the same regulators, consulate and emergency numbers. A single page avoids repeating thin content across several near-identical pages.


Risks and limitations to understand first

Risk What it means for you
Lower medical standards The standard of medical facilities is lower than in Australia (Smartraveller (opens official site)). If a complication becomes serious, the care you need may not be available locally.
Long-term dental problems The ADA warns that problems from overseas dental work can be hard to resolve back home, and that records and implant systems may not be available or compatible here (ADA (opens official site)).
Rushed implant timelines The bone usually needs about 3 months to grow around an implant before the crown is fitted (healthdirect (opens official site)).
Medicines Some medicines, including some prescription medicines, are illegal in Indonesia, even with a prescription (Smartraveller (opens official site)). Check that anything you bring or are given is legal.
Infection risks while healing Dengue occurs in Bali. Rabies is present throughout Indonesia, and rabies treatment may be limited (Smartraveller (opens official site)). Avoid contact with animals, and protect yourself from mosquitoes.
Drinks There have been cases of methanol poisoning in Bali (Smartraveller (opens official site)).
Limited recourse Ahpra can’t act on practitioners registered only in Indonesia. See what to do if treatment overseas goes wrong.

At Jalan Tantular No. 32, Renon, Denpasar. The phone number is +62 361 2000 100.

What is the emergency number in Bali?

Call 119 for medical emergencies or 118 for an ambulance. For police, call 110 or 112.

Can I bring my medicines to Bali?

Check first. Some medicines, including some prescription medicines, are illegal in Indonesia, even with a prescription.

How do I check a Bali dentist’s registration?

Ask for their STR registration certificate, and check it with the Indonesian Health Council. You can also use the Indonesian Dental Association’s dentist check.
