Summary
Primadent Dental Center has operated at 36 Sheraton Road in Hurghada since 2005, following decades of operation at a Zamalek (Cairo) clinic. The clinic publishes a named team of four dentists covering implantology, oral surgery, bone augmentation, orthodontics and prosthodontics. The website and patient materials are available in English and German. Dental Departures lists a 4.35/5 Google rating from 358 reviews; an independent Wanderlog aggregation shows 3.9/5 from 25 reviews — the discrepancy is unresolved and both figures are unverified through a directly accessible Google Maps mirror.
Two Hurghada phone numbers are listed (+20 114 551 4733 and +20 653 447 890); no WhatsApp. Published hours split the week: Sat/Mon/Wed 18:00–23:00 and Sun/Tue/Thu 11:00–18:00; Friday closed. Multiple independent reviewers on Wanderlog report being significantly overcharged; one describes €286 for routine cleaning and a small filling on a child. No price list is published. A second phone and an alternative generic email address appear on some directory listings.
