If you need a dentist in Dobsonville, Soweto, there are a few private dental practices and dental therapists close by, including one listed in Dobsonville Mall and several on the GEMS medical scheme dental network. None of them publishes a dental price list that we could find, so the most reliable way to get prices is to phone the practice and ask for a quote before treatment.
Below you will find the practices we could confirm from the mall directory, medical scheme network lists and a national healthcare provider database, with checks to make before you book. Details were checked on 13 September 2026.
Dentist in Dobsonville Mall: Dr Maoba, listed in the Dobsonville Mall store directory at 073 636 9882.
Other listed providers: D.I. Maringa (Freedom Drive), K. Mpungose, dental therapist (Jeff’s Office Park), N. Khoza-Malema (Tshepo Themba Private Hospital). Full list below.
Prices: no verified published price list for Dobsonville dentists. Ask for a written quote.
Severe swelling, bleeding or facial injury: go to a hospital emergency unit or call 10177.

Healthcare Options in Dobsonville
Dental care is one part of Healthcare in Dobsonville. You have three main routes:
- Private dentist: check-ups, cleaning, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns and dentures, depending on the practice.
- Dental therapist: a registered oral health professional who can do examinations, cleaning, fillings and simple extractions. Complex work is referred to a dentist.
- Public health system: lower or no cost, but not every clinic has a dental service. Ask your nearest clinic first.
Clinics
The City of Johannesburg lists two public clinics in Dobsonville: Itireleng (011 988 3101) and Nokuphila (011 988 7924). The City’s service lists for these clinics do not mention dental care, so phone before you go and ask whether an oral health service is available or where they refer patients. Private clinics such as CareKahle in Dobsonville Mall do not list dental treatment on their published price list.
Doctors
A GP cannot fill or pull a tooth, but can help if you have a fever, spreading swelling or pain you cannot control while you wait for a dental appointment. Tell the doctor about any medicines you take, especially blood thinners, before dental treatment.

Being on a medical scheme network list means the provider was contracted to that scheme when the list was published. It is not a recommendation, and it does not confirm current hours. Always phone first to confirm the practice is open, which days the dentist is in, and whether it takes new patients.
Pharmacies & Related Services
A pharmacist can suggest pain relief and mouth rinses while you wait for an appointment, and will fill antibiotics or painkillers your dentist prescribes. Dobsonville Mall lists Clicks (011 989 0218) and Empilweni Pharmacy (011 988 3056). Do not use leftover antibiotics or someone else’s medicine for a tooth infection.
Fees, Appointments & What to Bring
Is there a Dobsonville dentist price list?
We could not find a current, published dental price list from any practice in Dobsonville. Any “price list” you see online that is not from the practice itself should be treated with caution. Dental costs depend on the treatment, the number of teeth, X-rays, materials and whether you pay cash or use medical aid.
How to get a reliable price
- Phone the practice and ask the consultation fee and the price of the treatment you expect (for example an extraction or a filling).
- Ask for a written quote with procedure codes before bigger work such as root canals, crowns or dentures.
- If you have medical aid, ask whether the practice is on your scheme’s network and whether you pay upfront and claim back.
- Ask which payment methods are accepted.
What to bring
- ID document
- Medical aid card and main member details, if you have medical aid
- A list of medicines you take and any allergies
- Previous X-rays or referral letters, if you have them
Emergency & After-Hours Guidance
Most dental practices keep office hours. Go to a hospital emergency unit, or call 10177 (112 from a cellphone), if you have swelling spreading to your eye or neck, trouble swallowing or breathing, bleeding that will not stop, or a broken jaw or face injury. Clinix Tshepo Themba Private Hospital, corner Braamfischer Drive and Elias Motsoaledi Road, lists a 24-hour emergency unit (010 443 3711); private fees apply. For a knocked-out adult tooth, keep it moist in milk and see a dentist as soon as possible.
