theres an american guy in lagoa around the corner from the water dept building , he is very good , not so cheap though .

If you want cheap, I'll do it for you

Eh thank you, I'll keep you in mind.

I haven't been to a dentist here yet but I asked around as I really do need to make an appointment with one. Apparently there is a German dentist in Carvoeiro who is good and speaks English. I think I have seen him advertised on the freemaps that you can pick up around town. I have also been told of a very good English lady in Lagos who charges around 30 euros for a general check up. I don't know if this might be too far to go though. I expect they all charge around the same for a check up. In the resident directory there is a list of quite a few dentists in Lagoa.

I once had a Dentist in Hammersmith called Dr Phang - I kid you not.

BIG TIME

Thank you for all the replies, looks like it's similiar to at home.

The American dentist in Lagoa is George McKee. Telephone number is 282 341 482 and the office is Multiclinica Medefi.

I don´t know what you consider cheap, but I thought he was well priced. 60€ for a total check up.

There is a german dentist in Carvoeiro called Dr Axel Geiger. I have been to see him to replace a crown and he did a very good job.
He speaks very good english as well.

He is on restaurant hill, on the left hand side I think after Casa do Bife.

I had to use the services of Dr Geiger a couple of years ago when I got an abscess. He was very good, spoke excellent English and his charges for the emergency treatment were very reasonable.

I had to use the services of Dr Geigers colleague (she is extremely cute) while on vacation in Carvoeiro this Summer. It was on a Bank Holiday and I had a very bad toothache in a wisdom tooth. Made contact at 10:00am and was given an appointment for 3:00pm.No language problems at all. Consultation, x-ray and an extraction for less than €150!!!!!!.And on a Bank Holiday too!!!!
In Ireland ( my home) it would cost €300-€400 and it would be impossible to get any dentist on a Bank Holiday.
I might use this dentist for all my dental needs in future as the vacation was one of the best I have had in 30+ years of traveling and have already booked for next year. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone.

PS. Would anyone know her name as I would like to send a note of thanks to her.

A friend had to see Dr Geigers and he was fine and not too dear. He is in the small business centre next to Mungos.

I have used a dentist in Albufeira called Cris Piessens for implant work. I can highly recommend him and , although not cheap , it cost about one third the price of the UK depending on exchange rate.

I use an English lady, Carolyn Ellison, in Lagos. I would recommend her to anyone. A few months back I broke a back tooth & she took an x-ray, repaired it, did a check up & cleaned them by blasting them with a salt water spray, they've never felt so clean & it only cost 100 euros. I've been to George McKee & although he's good he's not a patch on Carolyn. Last time I went to him I had a mouth infection, he had a look & recommended a mouth wash, I was in there for about 3 minutes & it cost me 70 euros!!
