She graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at "Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy" in Bucharest in 2009, and shortly after, in 2010, Alice fondly remembers joining the "talented professionals at DENT ESTET," where she found a community dedicated to excellence in dentistry. In the same year, she obtained her competency in dental implantology, a milestone that opened new horizons in patient treatment.

This was followed by an intense period of training and specialization, during which she completed her residency in Dento-Alveolar Surgery at the prestigious "Prof. Dr. Dan Theodorescu" Clinical Hospital.

Philosophy

Every smile has a story. My mission is to make each story beautiful. In my work as a dentist, I have adopted a philosophy that combines science and art, always placing the patient at the center of attention. For me, every smile is a unique story, and every patient is a complete person with unique needs, aspirations, and dreams.
In every interaction, I strive to create an empathetic and understanding environment where patients feel comfortable and safe. I listen attentively to their concerns and desires, and together we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their individual needs and goals.

In Dialogue with Dr. Alice Gavrilescu

What inspired you to choose dentistry and pursue it as a career?

Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by medicine and how it can change people's lives. I am inspired by my desire to help people regain their confidence and health through a healthy smile.

How do you stay up-to-date with the latest methods and technologies in dentistry?

For me, staying current with the latest methods and technologies in dentistry is essential to providing the best possible care for my patients. To achieve this, I actively participate in specialization courses, conferences, and workshops in the field. Additionally, I am a member of various professional organizations and online discussion groups that give me access to the latest research, trends, and technologies in the field. Collaboration with my team members and exchanging experiences are also ways I improve my practice and stay current with developments in dentistry.

You are known for immediate loading dental implant treatments. Why should one opt for this instead of a classic implant?

Opting for immediate loading dental implant treatment can be a beneficial choice, considered based on the individual needs and circumstances of each patient. There are several reasons why a patient might choose this type of treatment over a classic dental implant. First, the immediate loading implant offers comfort and efficiency, allowing the patient to benefit from new teeth in a shorter time, reducing the waiting period and associated discomfort. Additionally, this type of implant can quickly improve the aesthetics of the smile, and post-operative recovery can be shorter, thus reducing the time spent in the dental office and promoting faster bone healing.

What is the most amazing result you have achieved, and what was the patient's reaction?

One of the most amazing results I achieved was with a patient who had multiple edentations and had lost confidence in the possibility of regaining a healthy and attractive smile. After a careful case evaluation and appropriate planning, we decided to implement a complex dental implant solution with immediate loading and advanced restoration techniques to restore the smile's functionality and aesthetics. The patient's reaction was truly emotional and motivating. After completing the treatment, the patient was deeply impressed by the transformation of their smile and the level of comfort and safety provided by their new teeth. They saw this result as a major life change, regaining not only their oral health but also their self-confidence and joy in smiling without inhibitions. This experience further motivated me to dedicate my time and skills to offering my patients the best possible results and transforming their smiles into something truly amazing.

What are the steps of an aesthetic smile transformation, and where do digital technologies intervene?

The aesthetic transformation of a smile is a complex process, and digital technologies bring innovation and precision to each step of this process. The initial evaluation and planning are facilitated by 3D or even 4D imaging, provided by Modjaw, and smile simulation software, Digital Smile Design, allowing for detailed assessment and precise treatment planning. Presenting the treatment plan becomes more efficient with digital simulation, facilitating communication between the doctor and the patient. Guided surgical interventions ensure precision and risk reduction, while customized dental restorations, made with CAD/CAM technologies, offer precise and aesthetic results in a shorter time. Completing the treatment is supported by digital technologies, ensuring final adjustments and perfect integration of restorations into the patient's smile.

What advice would you give to patients considering such a transformation?

Open communication with the doctor is crucial for effective collaboration in the aesthetic transformation of a smile. Treatment objectives and the patient's desires should be clearly discussed, and the specialist should adequately understand what needs to be improved or changed in the patient's smile. Choosing a specialist with experience and qualifications in dental aesthetics and associated digital technologies is another element to consider for the success of the treatment. Trusting the specialist's knowledge and experience helps the patient follow the advice and recommendations regarding treatment and smile care. It is crucial to have realistic expectations, and the patient must understand that the aesthetic transformation of a smile can be a complex process and not always quick. Strict adherence to dental hygiene, both at home and in the clinic, is essential for maintaining and caring for the results obtained after completing the aesthetic treatment.

You joined the DENT ESTET team in 2010. Who are the colleagues you have had the chance to work with over time?

In my 14 years at DENT ESTET, I have had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team of professionals dedicated to our patients' care. The relationships I have built with my colleagues have been fundamental in my professional and personal journey, bringing a collaborative, trusting, and supportive atmosphere. 

Close collaboration with Dr. Erika Vasilescu, Dr. Iana Dilă, Dr. Andreea Papuc, and Dr. Anamaria Ghiurcă has led to the formation of strong teams, and trust in each colleague's abilities has strengthened our bonds, knowing we can rely on each other in any situation to provide the best care for our patients.

Dr. Alexandru Georgescu has been both a model and support in my professional evolution. I am grateful for every colleague I have had the privilege of working with at DENT ESTET clinics and for their contribution to my professional and personal journey. These special relationships continue to be a fundamental part of my experience, making me proud to be part of such a wonderful and dedicated team.

What motivates you to continue striving for excellence in your field?

What motivates me is my passion for the work I do and the desire to make a positive difference in my patients' lives.

What activity outside the professional sphere gives you the energy to continue?

One of my sources of energy and balance outside the professional sphere is related to outdoor activities and interaction with nature. I love hiking, exploring the beauty of natural landscapes by bike, and connecting with the surrounding world in an active and dynamic way. Additionally, spending time playing with my children is an inexhaustible source of joy and positive energy for me.
