Hello there.
I am wondering what is the situation with Dental services in Timor Leste.
Are there any private dentists in Town ?
Where do expats go to for dentistry?
I am a practicing dentist in Darwin and was keen on exploring options of setting up a satellite office in Timor.
Any advise or comments will be very much appreciated.
Thanking you,
Cujo

Hi Cujo,

In Dili, Timor-Leste, there are several private dentists. But, if you open up a clinic here, I am sure that the expats would like to go to your place.

Hello Cujo,

I really don't know what the expat population is in Dili at the moment. If I may guess, I would estimate roughly between 3,000 to 7,000, but it was just a wild guess. (In this case, I could be totally wrong. So, don't hold me accountable for the number, OK?) As for the consultation cost to see a dentist here, from what I experienced (and heard) the fees range between US$ 40 to US$ 70. I don't know whether you would consider it expensive or otherwise.

Cheers.
