About dentists in Malta
Most dental care in Malta is private, so you choose your own dentist and clinic. A general dentist handles check-ups, cleaning, fillings and extractions. Some clinics also offer implants, braces, aligners or whitening. If you are new to the island, a clinic close to home or work makes regular visits easier.
People usually look for a dentist for one of three reasons: a routine check-up, a planned treatment such as a crown or implant, or an urgent problem like toothache or a broken tooth. Searches such as "dentist open now" or "dentist Sunday" are common, so if urgent care matters to you, ask a clinic how it handles same-day and weekend requests before you need one.
The cost of a visit depends on the treatment, the materials used, how many appointments it takes and whether X-rays or a specialist are needed. Implants and orthodontic work are usually planned over several visits, so ask for a written treatment plan with each stage priced. If you have health insurance, check what it covers before you book.

Questions
How much does a dentist cost in Malta?
It depends on the treatment, the materials, the number of visits and whether you need X-rays or a specialist. A check-up and a set of implants are priced very differently. Ask for a written plan that prices each stage, and for larger work it is fair to get a second opinion from another clinic. If you have health insurance, ask the clinic how claims work before treatment starts.
Is there a dentist open now or on Sunday in Malta?
Private clinics set their own hours, and some keep slots for urgent cases in the evening or at weekends. Call or WhatsApp a few clinics and say it is urgent. Public emergency dental care is also available: Mater Dei Hospital and some health centres provide emergency oral care free of charge. If it feels like an emergency, go to the hospital emergency department.
How do I check a dentist is registered in Malta?
Dentists in Malta are registered with the Medical Council of Malta, which holds the dental register. Ask the dentist for their full name and registration number, then check it with the Council. If they call themselves an orthodontist or oral surgeon, ask whether they are on the specialist register, as these are the two specialities officially recognised in Malta.
Can I get dental treatment for free in Malta?
Public dental care in Malta mainly covers children under 18 and emergency treatment, through the dental departments at Mater Dei Hospital and Gozo General Hospital and some health centres. Most other treatment, including orthodontics and implants, is done privately and paid by the patient or through health insurance. Ask your health centre what applies to you.
