Clinics
CareKahle is on the Upper Level above Shoprite. Its website lists Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 08:00 to 13:00, walk-ins only. CareKahle does not list dental treatment. It can help with pain relief or an infection while you wait to see a dentist. See CareKahle Clinic Dobsonville operating hours for its published prices.
The nearest public clinic is Itireleng Clinic on Elias Motsoaledi Road (011 988 3101). The City of Johannesburg’s service list for Itireleng does not mention dental care, so ask before you go.
Doctors
Two private GPs are listed in the mall: Dr Fateye (Shop 305, 011 988 8381) and Dr Moloto (Shop 306, Upper Level, 011 988 3586). A GP cannot fill or pull a tooth, but can treat a fever or spreading infection and prescribe pain relief if you cannot see the dentist straight away. More practices are on Doctors in Dobsonville.

The two phone numbers come from different sources. The mall directory number is the centre’s own listing; try it first, then the landline.
Other dental names linked to the mall
Online map sites show a “Dobsonville Medical & Dental Surgery’s” at Shop 65F, Dobsonville Shopping Centre. It is not in the mall’s store directory, and the GEMS network list only shows a GP at that shop number, so we could not confirm a dentist there. See Dobsonville Medical & Dental Surgery’s for what we found.
If the mall dentist is fully booked, Dentists in Dobsonville lists other practices and dental therapists with Dobsonville addresses, including one at Clinix Tshepo Themba Private Hospital.
Pharmacies & Related Services
Fill a dental prescription, such as antibiotics or pain medicine, at Clicks (011 989 0218) or Empilweni Pharmacy (011 988 3056) in the mall. A pharmacist can also advise on over-the-counter pain relief and mouth rinses while you wait for an appointment. Never take leftover antibiotics or someone else’s medicine for a tooth infection.
For eye tests, the mall lists Dobsonville Optometrist (011 988 3393) and Dr W.T. Mthembu (011 988 3446).
Fees, Appointments & What to Bring
No dentist in Dobsonville Mall publishes a price list, so we do not show dental prices. Before treatment:
- Phone and ask for the consultation fee and the price of the treatment you expect, such as an extraction or a filling.
- Ask for a written quote before bigger work like root canals, crowns or dentures.
- If you have medical aid, ask whether the practice claims directly or you pay first and claim back.
- Ask which payment methods are accepted.
Bring your ID, medical aid card, a list of medicines you take (especially blood thinners) and any previous X-rays.

Mall practices keep daytime hours. Go to a hospital emergency unit if you have facial swelling spreading towards your eye or neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, bleeding that will not stop, or a broken jaw or facial injury.
