Dental treatment is not provided under the state system, except in the case of emergency extractions so residents, visitors and tourists will need to pay for dental treatment unless their private medical insurance covers dental work.
You can choose a dental practice from the local Yellow Pages (Páginas Amarillas) listings or go with a personal recommendation. Dentists are listed under 'Dentistas'. You simply need to make an appointment and take a form of ID with you.
There is a plethora of private dentist companies in Spain, equipped with the latest advances in terms of instruments and technology. 'Dentistas' offer services from teeth whitening to crowns and root canal treatment. Many private dental companies offer free medical consultations and free unlimited aftercare check-ups compare fees and services carefully before committing and ask for a written quotation for treatment
