How to choose the right dental clinic in Bucharest for your long-term health

It’s best to visit the dentist when you want to, not when you have to. It should be a choice, not a necessity, so that your health doesn’t suffer. Choosing a particular dentist in Bucharest, Sibiu, Craiova, Ploiești or any other city in the country, or a dental clinic, is a crucial step in our lives and we must give it the attention it deserves. Why? Because the impact on our general health is real and far more significant than we realise.  

Recent years have changed the way we think about our health, and it is only natural for everyone to want to find the best dentist in Bucharest, for example, if you live in the capital, or the best dental clinic in Sibiu. However, it is often difficult to choose the dental clinic that can truly contribute to your long-term health, not just your oral health.  

The good news is that, in an age where access to information is so easy and digitalisation is part of our daily lives, we have an increasing number of tools at our disposal to help us decide which dental clinic in Bucharest, Ploiești, Craiova or Timișoara to entrust with our oral health.  

The key is to make the right choice from the very start. And the reason is simple: when you receive premium dental treatments, are looked after by a team of experienced dentists and have access to state-of-the-art digital technology – as you will discover at the DENT ESTET clinic in Bucharest – the results will meet your expectations and you will not encounter any issues during your treatment. Any wrong solution can lead to much higher costs, a waste of precious time, but above all to serious dental problems (the need to replace an implant, gum recession, periodontitis), with major negative consequences for your health.  

Every important decision is based on a set of criteria – that list of pros and cons that you’ve probably drawn up yourself many times. But what criteria should you bear in mind when choosing a dental clinic? Find out the answer to this question in this article:

Quality of services provided  

If you are looking for a dental clinic or a dentist in Bucharest, Ploiești, Timișoara or another city in the country, the quality of services is one of the most important criteria. We believe that the 26-year presence of DENT ESTET dental clinics on the Romanian dental market is proof that this criterion is extremely important for the thousands of Romanians who have chosen the clinics founded by Dr Oana Taban in 1999.  

We are a team of over 185 specialists, and our mission is your health and well-being. As a leader in the field, DENT ESTET has taken on the mission of being a pioneer in integrated digital dentistry, introducing the most advanced technologies to Romania, as well as a digital workflow that offers patients a comprehensive experience. At DENT ESTET Bucharest, medical excellence, empathy and digitalisation come together to transform every visit to the dental practice into the perfect opportunity for you to regain your natural, healthy smile.

The medical team’s expertise  

The professional training of the dentists is another important criterion when choosing your dental clinic. Why? Because the level of expertise is the guarantee of the treatment plan’s success. When the technology and equipment used are utilised by experienced dentists who have proven their worth over time, the patient experience is greatly improved. This is why DENT ESTET has been investing for 26 years in the continuous development of its team and the further specialisation of its dentists, providing constant access to courses for diversifying skills at prestigious centres in the US and Europe, as well as international certifications.  

At DENT ESTET dental clinics in Bucharest, you will have access to doctors with expertise in all branches of dentistry, such as Dr. Alexandru Georgescu, who has dual specialisation (senior general dentist – since 2008) and specialist in periodontology – since 2011) and who also holds a Doctor of Medical Sciences degree, having completed his PhD programme at the ‘Carol Davila’ Faculty in Bucharest.

For Dr. Alexandru Georgescu, dentistry transcends the status of a mere profession, becoming a true way of life. Dr Georgescu joined the DENT ESTET team back in 2002 and believes that the true vocation in dentistry lies in the rigorous combination of science with new practices and technologies, with the noble aim of restoring patients’ health. As a mentor and educator, Dr Alexandru Georgescu takes on the role of guiding and inspiring the new generation of dentists. As Study Club Director for Romania and a Straumann mentor within the International Team for Implantology (ITI), he constantly promotes innovation and excellence in implantology, thereby ensuring his patients receive the most advanced and effective treatments available.

The multidisciplinary approach  

The benefits of such an approach are immense for patients at DENT ESTET clinics in Bucharest. Under the supervision of a Coordinating Doctor, each treatment plan is carefully and diligently designed by a team comprising professionals from every medical specialism required to carry out the treatments. For example, a treatment plan involving the oral rehabilitation of a patient facing tooth loss (partial or total edentulism) requires the involvement of experts in periodontology, endodontics, orthodontics, implantology, cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics, as well as skilled technicians from the ASPEN digital dental laboratory.  

The benefits of this approach, centred on interdisciplinarity, knowledge-sharing and mentoring, are the key to the success of dental treatments at DENT ESTET Bucharest, as well as in other clinics across the country – a level of success that is difficult to achieve in a dental practice with just one or two dentists. Currently, the secret to the success of a complex treatment plan – and not only that – is a complete, well-established team with proven experience.  

All-in-one Concept

A dental clinic in Bucharest offering integrated dentistry may be the best choice for you if you live in the capital. Nowadays, time is a precious resource, which is why it is important to benefit from integrated dental services in a single location: treatment rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, a digital radiology centre, the Future Smile Studio for visualising the final result, and our own ASPEN dental laboratory.  

It can be quite a hassle to find a different dentist for every dental issue you have, so the specialists’ expertise and their presence within a single clinic will be a major benefit for you. Furthermore, the digital integration of the workflow ensures better communication between team members, who will collaborate more easily to give you the smile you desire.

Level of digitalisation

Technology is part of our daily lives, and the advances made in the field of dentistry are astonishing. The level of digitalisation at a dental clinic should be a key criterion when considering your oral health. At DENT ESTET clinics in Bucharest, as well as those in Sibiu, Timișoara, Brașov, Ploiești, Craiova, Oradea and Arad, it is the dentists who bring technology to life. The significant investments made from the very beginning in innovation and the integration of the latest technologies into dental practice across all 18 clinics in the group have contributed to raising the level of expertise and improving the success rate of treatments carried out.  

Advanced technologies, such as the MODJAW™ 4D digital system, the RayFace® 3D facial scanner or Digital Smile Design, ensure precision, a pain-free experience and the certainty of successful final results.

Patient safety and comfort  

Ensuring these aspects must be a priority for a dental clinic in Bucharest or other cities across the country, yet there are situations where this is not the case. Your decision must be based on the confidence that you will be safe from the moment you step through the clinic’s door until the completion of your treatments.  

And you will gain this confidence by assessing criteria such as adherence to a strict safety and sterilisation protocol, both in treatment rooms and in communal areas, the resources invested in staff training, and the attention paid to the smallest details.  

Building a close relationship between dentist and patient is another essential element for feeling at ease in the dental surgery. And this must be based on trust, respect and empathy. It is important to truly understand the patient’s needs and to be there for them every step of the way. DENT ESTET patients have placed their trust in the dental clinics in Bucharest and the other cities where the group operates for 26 years, because they have felt listened to from the very first interaction and have benefited from personalised treatments that lead to the desired results.

The dental clinic’s reputation  

Reputation and trust in the medical team are earned over time. Good medical practice is the result of the synergy between the doctors’ professional training, their talent, their dedication to performing medical procedures flawlessly, and their desire for continuous development through participation in specialist courses.  

When choosing a dentist, you certainly want to find the best dentist in Bucharest or in the town where you live. That is why it is important to look for indicators of their experience (number of years in practice, portfolio of cases treated, information which you should be able to find on the official website of the dental clinic where they work). The online environment (social media, Google) can be a useful source of information, but you need to be careful not to be misled by marketing tools that might be used to promote a dental practice or clinic in Bucharest without the message being backed up by reality. Furthermore, you can gain greater confidence if the dentists in question have multiple specialisations, have attended further training courses, and if the certifications they hold are accredited, as is the case with the dentists on the DENT ESTET Bucharest team.  

It is also true that recommendations from friends and family, or Google reviews, play an important role in your decision, but it is best to make a decision based on your own findings following a thorough analysis of the clinic and the dentist in question.  

In conclusion, we hope we have been of assistance in outlining the criteria that should inform your decision when choosing a dental clinic in Bucharest or elsewhere in the country to entrust with your oral health. For 25 years, DENT ESTET dental clinics have distinguished themselves through a 360-degree approach to patient care. Medical excellence, a unique patient experience, premium dental treatments and high-end technologies are the key differentiators of the group founded by Dr Oana Taban in the Romanian dental market.
