Can anyone recommend a good dentist in Zürich, preferably English-speaking and in the Bellevue area?

Thanks
Neil

I thought TerryMac was still at Newcastle with Souness?

Thanks very much, I'll try Dr Mettler, he is only 2 mins walk from my office.

how was it?

Is anyone ever going to describe a visit to the dentist as enjoyable?

My first post:

I enjoy visting the Dentist. Honestly.
I find it very relaxing knowing there's no phone-calls, e-mail or children to disturb me for an hour.

Outside of Züri for anyone else interested:

Hirt Pedrini in Uster 044 940 2575

zahnarzt@hirtpedrini.ch

Under 200 CHF for 6 month check and clean.
Initial appointment will be more as they do X-Rays.
Spotlessly clean, perfect English, no pain.
No problems.

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Minoretti? Someone recommends him to me but I would like to hear more opinion. Or if anyone has any great dentist? I need to get a night guard (prevent from grounding the teeth ), anyone has any idea how much will that costs?
Any comment will be greatly appreciated.

I got mine from Dr Marco Stocker (Paradeplatz, Bahnhofstr 26 212-2440) a few years back - I'm still drooling over it every night...

One of Dr Stocker specialities is TMJ problems (possibly the reason you need a night guard).

Do you remember how much it cost you because many people said dental work is very expensive here. I would like to have an idea.

Sorry, I don't recall.

As you are unlikely to find a cheap dentist in Zürich , you may as well look for fringe benefits: I was recently told that the dentist in the main station has some "top birds working there" (direct quote).

If you're from the UK or N. Ireland, grab a cheap flight and visit your National Health Service dentist next time you're over! It's around £12/CHF28 for a basic check up, and they usually give you a quick polish. Fab

I need to visit a dentist (kicking myself for not going when I was back in the UK!) anyway I know people keep saying its really expensive but can someone give me an idea?

An idea of the price you mean? Then you should give us an idea of what you need? There's a big difference between the price of a check up and the price of root canal work.

If you are looking for a price with regards to a mouth guard to prevent grinding your teeth, you are looking at about CHF 1500... prices vary from dentist to dentist... Hope that helps

sorry i was a bit vague, I am needing a check up so what the typical cost of a check up, and I imagine i'll need a filling or two - not been to the dentist for a bit too long (tsk tsk) and I have a bit of toothache so I imagine i will need some work doing, worried I'll need lots and have to take a small bank loan out to pay for it

Just realised why my question seemed vague, I did write more but for some reason it hasn't appeared, had that problem earlier also where it submitted my message before I had finished what I was writing.

You will need a bank loan. Take clove oil for the toothache and paracetamol for the financial headache. If you have the time , go Czech/Poland/Germany or UK.

I remember once posting a comparative histogram link of dental prices in Europe and Switz, it was probably on exprats.

In Basel, a typical 2 - 3 root canal with only a temporary filling will cost between 1000 and 3000, usually in the middle to upper end of the range. I know, since I moved to Switzerland just under 4 years ago, I've had six or seven root canals

I'm looking for a good dentist in Zurich, and so I thought I'd resurface this thread in case anyone had new recommendations. I don't really have a preference on location - after all, you only see them once every six months. Quality is much more important than the time it takes to get there.
