The good news – most dentists in Düsseldorf speak English. This task shouldn’t be too hard when you’re preparing yourself to settle down in the city. To get you started, we’ve put together a list of recommended English-speaking dentists across the city that were suggested by other internationals in the area. Of course, every one of us may go to the dentist for a different reason, whether that’s getting our teeth cleaned, attending to a broken tooth, or undergoing surgery. With that being said, we all have different experiences, so it’s important to listen to the feedback of others and pick a dentist who has been personally recommended.
Of course, you’re going to need to make sure that you have health insurance before you go to one of the dentists in Düsseldorf, otherwise, it’ll make for a rather expensive trip. So if you don’t have insurance yet, make sure you choose between public or private first, and then check out some of the best health insurance providers for expats.
Thinking of getting your teeth whitened? This is not included in your health insurance. If you’re looking for a discount, try checking out the deals on Groupon as they offer teeth whitening services offered by dentists in Düsseldorf for as little as 20 Euros. Alternatively, you can always look into booking an add-on service for dental treatments (which include other benefits like quicker care, longer cleanings, etc.).

Apollonia Praxisklinik
While their website might be in German, their dentists do not only speak English but a variety of other languages as well including French, Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, and Croatian. I can personally recommend this clinic. My husband is an employee there, I’ve met plenty of the staff members and they’re all wonderful. Feel free to ask for Mr. Hefer and he’ll make sure you’re happy (that’s my husband).
