Dentist

Listed practitioners work in 3 cities: Petah Tikva, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem. Each city has its own page listing the practitioners who work there.

Out of 3 listed practitioners, the declared languages are: Hebrew (3), English (2), French (1). Details are shown on each profile.

The dentist (dental surgeon) is your first point of contact: check-ups, scaling, fillings, root canals, extractions, crowns and dentures. An orthodontist is a dentist specialised in aligning teeth and jaws (braces, aligners). A periodontist treats the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. A dental clinic often brings several of these practitioners together.

The public health basket covers children's dental care up to a certain age and some treatments for older adults, in the health funds' dental clinics. For adults, most treatment is private or goes through the fund's supplementary dental plan (Clalit Smile, Maccabi Dent and similar) or private insurance. The rules change regularly, so check with your fund what applies to your age and contract.

It depends on the procedure: a check-up with scaling, a filling, a root canal, a crown or an implant are priced very differently. On RofeBeClick, the consultation and routine treatment prices appear on the practitioner's profile when provided, and booking is free of charge. For major work, ask for a written quote before starting, which is standard practice in Israel.

No. You see a dentist directly, both privately and in the health funds' dental clinics. No referral letter from your family doctor is needed, including for a dental emergency.

Severe pain, an abscess with facial swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth after an injury are emergencies. Many dental practices keep emergency slots during the day; in the evening and on Shabbat, larger cities have on-call dental services and hospitals handle trauma. For a knocked-out tooth, reinserting it or keeping it in milk and seeing a dentist within the hour greatly improves the chance of saving it.

Spoken languages are listed on each RofeBeClick profile, and the dentist page is broken down by city. Many newcomers look for a dentist who speaks their language so they can understand a quote and a treatment plan: that is exactly the information the profiles put forward.

Most professional guidelines advise a check-up and scaling every six to twelve months depending on your caries risk and gum health, and a visit as soon as you have pain, persistent gum bleeding or sensitivity to hot and cold. For children, a first visit is recommended within the first year.

Open the dentist's profile, choose an available slot and confirm: the confirmation arrives by email and a reminder is sent before the appointment. Searching requires no account and booking is free for patients.
