Doctors & dentists
expat-services.ch lists 22 hand-checked English-speaking dentists in Zürich, including Adent Dental Clinics, Dental11, Dentanova and Kübler Truninger Zahnärzte Zürich.
Besides English, they also work in German, French, Italian and Greek. Every profile shows the services, languages and contact details, checked by hand before going live. See also Insurance advisors in Zürich.
The dental practices below confirm English themselves: each has an English version of its website or says on its own site that its team speaks English. We read each practice website and looked up the dentists it names in MedReg, the federal register of medical professions, for a Zurich licence. Nineteen of the 20 practices are in the City of Zurich and one is in neighbouring Opfikon.
