Any recommends about a good dentist??

Postby aterina » Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:18 pm

Hello all,
I need a dentist ASAP. I have a cavity and need to be fixed.

I have never had it done in Shanghai and my insurance is not covering the dental treatments.i googled it and found some dentist but I am not really sure which one is better. I am also a little bit scared to have it done here, so I need your help!

Do you have any good experiences with a CLEAN, good quality, english speaking dentist with reasonable prices ??

Does dr Jane speak English? I'm looking for a new dentist and that's just round the corner from me.

Can anyone second the recommendation?

I took a friend to Kowa's for an emergency fix (she cracked a filling or something). The facility was professional and clean. And they had English speaking personnel. My friend's insurance does not cover Shanghai but even then the pricing was cheaper than expected.

Think his surname Zhou
website i dont have a clue, i never check websites before i go shopping. If they are recommended then usually that`s good enough for me

If you want websites then check Parkway Health. They have 3 hospitals and a dentistry in Shanghai and start around Rmb900 for a check up and clean. Cavity`s are around Rmb6000

See the "Searching for a reliable dentist" adbox top left of the page? I've recently been here and the service was very good, they speak English, and the facility is clean and cosy.. the prices are really cheap too, they are listed clearly on the website. I highly recommend them. Here is the link if you can't find the ad on top of the page: Dr Zhou's Dental Clinic

I'm happy with Dr Alex at New York Dental- great English and clean environment. NYU-trained. Not what I'd call cheap, but don't know exactly how the prices compare (I'm lucky with insurance)

Is this the Dr. Jane youre talking about?

They dont list prices on the webpage (fine with me), but a checkup and an opinion what the cost might be cant be too expensive right?
Looks like my filling feel out of one teeth and i just want to check 2 or 3 places to see if I have a good impression and if the price is acceptable.

Last week a few days before returning to China from the USA, I saw my family dentist for my annual exam. He told me that he had found decay at the edge of two crowns and recommended removing both crowns, treating the decay and then putting on two new crowns. I decided to find a dentist in Shanghai to do the work and asked him to email my x-rays.
Today I saw Dr. Jane Wu. She reviewed the x-rays and did a full mouth examination. Her conclusion: The x-rays showed no sign of decay around either of the two crowns. Her examination confirmed that there was no sign of active decay. She spent a good deal of time advising me about tooth anatomy and dental heigine to reduce the chance of decay in my problem areas. Her consultation fee was 100 quai.
I will see her again in a few months for cleaning and follow-up. She is thorough, professional and speaks excellent English. http://www.jane-dental.com

while trying to find a good dentist, 2 days ago my wisdom tooth was broken. So I thought wisdom tooth extraction is more urgent than the cavity filling. I tried to find out the medium price but a better service clinic.
Yesterday I was in KOWA Dental. Everything they tell in their web page is a bloody lie!! The guys in the reception were not able to speak English, I had a Chinese dentist, OK, the place was clean but they don't have foreigner dentists and when I claimed that it is not really like what they advertise they said me I should call the foreigner dentists by myself because they are coming to their clinic part time. I called the number they gave me.I couldn't reach anybody, then I went back to the clinic and told them the number they gave me was wrong or nobody replied it. Then they gave me another number for Mr Costa, a French dentist . I called the number and told that I want to get an appointment. The voice on the phone said that it is Mr.Costa and he is working with a patient right now and kindly asked me to call the reception. I told him the story with Kowa dental. He said no worries, I will sms you the phone number. I have an appointment today with him in french dental clinic. I hope this time it works well.
But KOWA dental, it was the first and the last visit for me!!! I ended up paying 400RMB only for consultation which helped me for a big nothing.

Two years ago I broke off my wisdom tooth. I got that fixed at Cidi Dental. Their work was good, fast and painless (even if it was a complicated extraction including sewing), and the place lookek clean and like a good dentist at home. Their assessment of my cavities though was dead wrong so I decided to change the clinic.
Last year I went to jsmiles and was very happy with the work and the service. They are not cheap, but I will go there again for sure.
The secret to succes is honesty. If you can fake that, you got it made.

Agree with previous posts in relation to Dr Jane. More than happy with Jane's work. Quality, care was good and she explained things well. RMB400 for Examination, Scale & Polish, not too bad at all.

Dr. Jevon York is the best one I've seen in my entire life. No joke. He speaks english and has studied and lived abroad for years.

My ex girlfriend is a professional dentist, specialized in US. She said the root canal I got done by Dr. Jevon York was one of the best she has seen in her life.

I highly recommend him.

His clinic is called Hygeia Dental. Phone 64061866. It's on Yanan Rd. No. 3040, near Hongmei Road. Just walk west on Yanan Road from the southern side of it. You'll find it easily.

2400 without the crown. The crown it's up to you, depending of which kind/origin you want it to be. It could be as cheap as 2000 or as much as 8000.

I was in French Dentist clinic yesterday. Up to now I visited 4 dentists includung this one. All other three dentists said that I should have my wisdom tooth extracted. Only the last one (Dr. Costa) said that even it is broken off it is still in good shape, they could save it with filling. I was so scared while I was on the way to there because I read so much frightening experiences about people who had their wisdom teeth extracted. You have no idea how much I was relieved when he said it is possible to save the tooth. He could earn alot more over me if he said he had to extract my wisdom teeth like other three dentists.
Anyway, he started working on my teeth, it was so clean, so fast and painless (even he had to cut my skin a little because it was swollen over my tooth). Tomorrow I will visit them to have my root canal done.
I will definitely see them whenever I need.
