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.

12-2020 SV Hanna Also I want to add a positive experience with a dentist in Huahine. He was
recommended by a French cruiser. His name is Jimmy Yeung Youk, office phone 40-68-88-00. He speaks
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
