SV Dash Bora Bora I went to the dentist due to a filling falling out, and found out I needed ROOT CANAL!

Went to Dr Jacques Maton, located immediately next to Aloe Cafe across from the Chin Lee Market. I

was walk-in, saw me in 15 minutes. Xray and diagnosis, local anesthesia, root canal within the hour. Less

than $200US. The following day and appointment for a cap, 1 hour in chair, cap and done..$100US. He

also included a copy of my xray by email! I paid in FP $ as his exchange rate would have cost me a bit

more. His English is very good, office modern and spotless.

google earth or Maps.me

12-2020 SV Hanna Also I want to add a positive experience with a dentist in Huahine. He was

good enough English and his assistant speaks a little also. We each had a satisfactory cleaning (no xray)

for XPF 8,000. Doug went back yesterday for repair to a broken tooth, XPF 12,000. His office is in a

green, single story building immediately past the Gendarmes barracks in town, not far from the public

clinic. There is a small sign on the fence with opening hours. Each time we've made appointments, it's

been a two week wait for the next available appt.

9-2019 SV Ocean Star

Had an unplanned need for a dentist in Huahine, found Dr. Yeung Youk (Jimmy) near the Avis rental, on

2nd floor above a medical doctors office. Speaks excellent English, fast & efficient.

recommend.

She allegedly found two cavities in the teeth immediately adjoining the root canal tooth, but did not see

the bad cavity in the latter. Highly unlikely that the cavity developed in the past few months alone, so I

don't know how she missed it.

She was not particularly gentle with the cleaning and fillings and I don't think she spoke any English.

7-24 SV Hanna I was glad to be able to make an appointment online, and it's great that he provides his

cellphone number on his website for emergencies.

Over a weekend I had increasing irritation in the gum surrounding a root canal I had done many years

ago. I made an appt online for a Tuesday, and got both an SMS and email confirming it.

At my first appointment, it was clear that the tooth needed both a filling and a crown. He had a

cancellation and therefore had an opening that afternoon. (I declined because I would have been biking

6 miles back to Vaiare late in the day, unsure how I would feel about that if I needed any pain meds for

the procedure). I made an appointment for a week later.

The day before, I got an sms asking to confirm, and after a few hours, because I didn't reply, I got a phone

call to confirm appt next day. Communication was excellent.

They have modern equipment; they were able to model and make the crown and fit it all in one

appointment, about 2.5 hours. For the initial visit, then the visit for the crown was about USD$1000, with

the crown itself being almost two thirds of that cost. Very pleased with the result and happy to have it

done so quickly, and pretty pain free.

Submitted by Jaye & Irwin on Winsome who have used the services of this woman many times

Ok ,the wonderful, very wonderful dentist here in Raiatea..very young

beautiful Tahitian woman speaks gorgeous English (daughter of mixed

marriage- mother is native English speaker). Dr. Blais Rahiti : her office

is 7 kilometers south of uturoa in Avera where there is a pharmacy and

medical clinic. There is a Beach where you can dinghy to right next to her

clinic which is next to the post office. Avera is the first town south of

the bay Vairahi...which is the bay where the Trois cascades hike starts.

There are some moorings there and some mud/ sand to anchor in. There is

also a small fish coop marina where you can leave dinghy and get fresh

water there at Vairahi. Her cabinet number is 87 26 65 62...the only

downside is Miri ( her assistant- who answers the phone, does speak very

little English so it can be a bit challenging to make apptmts and they are

busy because she is so good (ie. Gentle,small hands and very conscious

about pain management, clear speaking, and very knowledgeable with a brand

new office and equipment..sonic cleaning and camera x-ray all right

there)....

I had a single root canal. Cost was 24060 xpf. While I truly liked the demeanor of the dentist, her

workmanship was mediocre.

She made two significant errors, both of which are not really retrievable ones.

1. She inserted the files past the apex of my root and into the boney space

2. She did not completely get the root canal filled with the root filler.

In addition there were several other concerns that were minor:

◦ She was not using an x-ray holder and had me hold the sensor in place with my finger. She had to retake

two x-rays

◦ She did not use a rubber damn with also increases the risk of contamination.

◦ The dentist did not communicate at all during the procedure and this lead to problems at two points.

◦ I was not offered a lead apron or safety glasses.

She did a great job of numbing my jaw, it was the best job of freezing me I have ever experienced at a

dentist. Her office and operatory was beautifully clean and up to date, she was on time and very friendly.

She spoke English well. I still like her but would probably seek another dentist that had better technical

skills.

11-2018 Linda just had her teeth cleaned and some bonding of a chipped tooth. She came home singing

Veronique's praises!

Position 17 32.468 S 149 34.053 W

The building is between restaurants on the left side walking south along Rue Titiaivai. Veroniques

plaque appears with several others out on the street beside the doorway.

There is an intercom beside the door to get access. Ask for the door code when you make an

appointment.

Appointments can be arranged by phone or email. She attends 3 days each week (Monday, Tuesday

and Thursday) and works into the evenings. The surgery is shared with another woman dentist for the

other days.

She is highly recommended by a number of people

From SV Freevol 8-2019

Dr Sautelis a very skilled surgeon in dentistry. He did his studies in USA so I guess he should speak good

english.

He did the implants on Bernard both on the upper and bottom jaws. He did the stitching then took the

stitchs away and then took the print for positionning the new teeth after verifiing every thing had sealed

properly. Bernard was very pleased with his job and found him friendly.

His former dentist was there to learn how to do it and she finished the job by placing the new teeth. All

this took some time because of the healing of the jaw bone.

He is located on the Pamatai hill in Faa'a, I think there is a bus that goes there from Papeete

SV Cheyenne. I had two problem crowns replaced with all Zirconium crowns, two large cavities under

the crowns filled, and a root canal. She seemed very professional and conscientious about the work. She

speaks adequate English for basic communications, and her assistant speak a little better English. For

more complicated discussions we used a translater on her computer since she wanted to be sure I was

completely clear on the issues. I am happy with the results and would recommend her to others.

10-2020 Sugar Shack Matt had a filling that was bothering him so we emailed him on a Sunday (during

a holiday weekend) thinking we would not hear from him until Tuesday. However, we got a reply within

a few hours with an appointment date and time!

Matt ended up having a very infected wisdom tooth that had to be extracted and a neighboring tooth

with a cavity that had to be filled. Dr. Sand was very good, offered to reschedule so we could think about

it, and when we declined got to work. He was as gentle as can be expected for having a tooth pulled, and

provided a prescription for antibiotics, gauze, and pain meds. He was efficient, and reasonably priced.

The work in the U.S. would have cost well over $1000 with insurance and Matt walked out less than $200

plus medicine costs at pharmacy for $25.

2-21 SV Venture Lady

Happy for you to include following recommendation in the TCG for Dr Maxence Sand Highly

recommend. Good English speaker with extremely well equipped/modern surgery. I had complex root

canal treatments in Oct 20. Then I broke a tooth in January 21 and he repaired it with a crown within 24

hrs so that we didn’t miss a weather window to depart Papeete.

11-2020 SV Tintamarre Recommended. Speaks good English. Nice surgery. I only needed a check up and

clean, but know other cruisers needing more major treatment who were very happy

9-2020 SV Shiraz Young French dentist. Speaks good English. Modern clean facility on the first floor. I

recommend him.

11-18

We both had dental work, crowns and extraction. Very satisfied. Near Cathedral Center City. Turn up

the street that Air Tahiti is on and about 3/4 same side of the street next to a copy store is an entrance

to his office - 1st floor (2nd floor to North Americans)

10-18 SV Little Wing

Can highly recommend Dr Maxence.

He is a very gentle and thorough dentist. I found that my french was not up to par to fully communicate

some of the discussion about what needed to be done to have a root canal and crown. Emailing was a

great way to set up an appointment and discuss any concerns that one may have about any procedures.

I would certainly recommend Dr. Sand Maxence for any dental work.
