Best dentist around is Sonia in Rojales.
Right in the town centre on the short traffic free street next door to Spirit bar.
Speaks perfect English as does her assistant, who are both Spanish.
Very friendly & often don't even need appointment.
Once took friend there at 5.30pm and she was seen to, tooth filled, etc. and out within 20 minutes.
Check ups free & only does work that needs doing.
My last visit - one filling, but had thought I needed more - was 45€
10 times better than the dentist I had in UK

I agree , we have used her for 17 years , when we first arrived she didnt speak English but now very good, always smiling and very reasonable prices..

I agree....changed to Sonia a few years ago after being recommended ...it followed an unsatisfactory visit to one on the Urb. She even fitted in an emergency appointment for a visiting friend from the UK on the same day and and replaced a lost filling for 45€

Does anyone know anything about the new dentist. Apparently his surgery is called the Dental House or something like that. And where about he is situated.

Hi, thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I think I'm going to go to Sonia in Rojales as she had the most recommendations. I have a problem that I'm dental phobic. Oh Lord, even thinking about ringing for an appointment gives me goose pimples and raises my terror. I know I'm stupid and will insist that the dentist puts me to sleep for which I obviously have to pay, but I'm terrified. I can't even ring for an appointment, but I know I have to. Thanks to you all. I have to say I had 3 kids at home with very little pain relief,, and none with the last, but dentistry terrifies me. I know I have to do it, but it's so hard. Thanks to you all and when I've had the bottle to do it I'll tell you all. Oh bugger, I'm frightend to death xxx

I know it's easy to say but I've had two implants at Sonjas and never felt a thing...honest! They squirt something in your mouth nowadays so you don't feel injections or anything that you may be scared of. I don't know anyone who likes dental visits but things are much better nowadays. Good luck .....pick up the phone

I used to be frightened of dentists - the only time I seemed to have a problem with my teeth was after I'd visited one in UK.
When I first went to Sonia I knew I had to have a lot of work done, but agree that I never felt a thing - even to the point of almost looking forward to going!
Had a filling last week - popped in and made appointment for next day - and when she looked, said "it's only a small one, don't think you'll need an injection!?"
So I OK'd it and still didn't feel it :)
So You WILL be OK - honest...

thanks, I know where my fear stems from. but it doesn't help. You're making me feel a bit stronger. I'll go and see her, shit, I'm shaking thinking about it, but but I'm going to try. can you give me a phone number or better, directions. I'm so frightened, I have to get over this and maybe this is my chance. I have 3 kids and they never knew my fear. Daddy always did the dental run, but my son is worse than me. I know I have to get over this and thanks for your kind words. Incidentally, I'm, 73, and the only thing that makes me go is an even stronger fear of false teeth xxxxx

Sonia's phone number is: 966713051
Do you know Rojales town centre?
There are traffic lights - which are rarely in use - and the archeological musem.
One road from the lights goes over the old bridge.
But there was a road from town centre opposite the road over the bridge.
This is now a small traffic free pedestrian area.
In this area there are 2 or 3 bars on one side and 'Furniture First' second hand shop on other,
One bar is called 'Spirit" & the building beside it has Sonia on the first floor - you'll see the Clinica Dental sign - with entry phone buzzer, then take stairs or lift to 1st floor.

Hi if its any help u can go on to U Tube & search for Hypnotherapy for fear of dentists & its free of charge & it does work but to give u some help hypnotherapy is like going to the doctors & he prescribes pills to take if u take them u get better if u don't u don't get better with hypnotherapy its the same if u keep taking whats advised u lose the fear if u stop watching or listening to it it loses its effect.

Thanks Martin, hubby is now nagging me to get on with it. I tried hypnotherapy for something else but it had no effect. I'll do the usual and pay for the injection to go into twilight sleep. I think I need my teeth really sorted, some crowns I've had for donkey's years probably need replacing. I really am going to tackle it very soon.

Thanks, building up to it xx

I have been to Sonia and also the dental house both are very good. I prefer the dental house simply because it is on the urb

Commented rose in La Marina 2013-06-27 15:23:09 UTC

Just a warning. Sonia is a good dentist, but fond of pulling teeth rather than tackle more difficult repairs!

Commented Maz in La Marina 2013-06-27 16:27:49 UTC

I went and tried Sonia about 3 or more years ago - she invented a couple of fillings and talked across me to the dental nurse constantly (in Spanish about inconsequential rubbish). I felt as though I didn't exist (you can't do much with your mouth wide open). Had just a clean & polish - thought I was being murdered! Would never go back. Certainly didn't book for the fillings. Was kept waiting in the freezing cold waiting room for an hour (it was January). Would never go back! It may be cheap but................ can't knock the British Dentist on the urb. You get what you pay for and he doesn't invent extras! P.S. I am not a nervous patient!

Commented Lol in La Marina 2013-06-27 18:07:07 UTC

I was very pleased with the stranded of care at the dental house and he is no were near as expensive as the English dentist. I got what I paid for and was very happy about the price.

Commented rose in La Marina 2013-06-27 19:10:03 UTC

Hola Rose, can you let me know where this is please and do you have a telephone number?

Linda

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2013-06-28 09:15:22 UTC

Yes Rose , I have also heard a few good reports about the Dental House. Where about is it situated, and have you got a contact number.

Commented SMUDGE in La Marina 2013-06-28 09:33:13 UTC

Thank you for your mention of Dental House. Please do you have a phone number or address for Dental House ?

Commented garthibiza in Ibiza 2013-10-23 14:57:14 UTC

The dentist is 'The Dental Home' tel 966 796 987. Situated on Calle Belgrado. Beats all the other dentists to pieces on prices and treatment. He is extremely sympathetic and caring. My wife does not have to have the 'going to sleep' needle now!

Commented Peter Horsfield in La Marina 2013-10-23 15:29:07 UTC

I have used The Dental Home for 6 years now. they knock spots off the other local ones on both price and service. I know people who have paid double what they charged me for a crown at other la marina dentists. Yes. They are German but speak perfect English and have loads of English clients. They are also fully qualified Orthodontists.
