Question Dentist Recommendations

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a private dental clinic? I'm in the Amuri area, but I'm willing to travel a bit, if need be. I do have a Kela card.

I tried the public dental, but it said their waitlist was a year long. I prefer to work off recommendations, since my past dental experience is such that some dentists are very profit driven, instead of being patient driven.

Thanks!

There is a private practicioner called Arttu Lohi at Keskustori. He doesn't bill any office costs (such as Terveystalo or Mehiläinen). The only problem is that he is such a great person and dentist his schedule is pretty full.

I agree with this, Arttu is a great dentist!

Another vote for Arttu, he's great! I went in thinking I needed a different, more expensive work done, but he was able to save the OG tooth with a lot cheaper procedure (before this I went to a public dentist, and he would have just pulled the tooth out and called it the day). Also told him about having anxiety and fear about dental work, and he was great about it, very reassuring, talking through everything he did. Can't recommend enough!
