I can recommend a brilliant dentist for anybody who doesn't want to pay the earth for treatment:
Dr Chu,
30-36 Shau Kei Wan Road,
Sai Wan Ho
Tel: 2539 8649
Having scoured these boards for help on this subject before I think it's only fair I put something back for anybody else in need of a good dentist.
Basically I have been blessed with wit and charm (no, honestly) but I was last in line when it comes to teeth. I have spent a LOT of time in the dentist's chair over the years and am quite nervous about going as it usually involves something uncomfortable and expensive.
After returning to Hong Kong last year after a two year absence I found that my previous dentist had acquired swish new offices and doubled her prices. As I needed some extensive work rather urgently I asked around and was put onto Dr Chu.
He was extremely professional and eased my nerves almost instantly. He explained exactly what he was going to do, why he was doing it and then treated my condition swiftly and painlessly. For a third of the cost of my previous dentist.
The quality of the work is as good as anything I've experienced back home and I recommend you give him a try if you are in need of a dentist. Yes, his surgery is a little out of the way but it's a $65 cab ride from Central - even with the return trip you'll likely save money and it's worth the extra effort in my opinion.
I've attached a current pricelist just in case anybody wants the info.
Anyway - hope this helps somebody out there eventually!
