Dr. Andreea Rădeanu

I find that aesthetic dentistry (prosthetics) is a finer and more meticulous branch of dentistry. I couldn’t see myself choosing a surgical specialization, for example. You have to be attentive to details and know how to blend shape, color, and size of the teeth with the facial appearance to create the ideal smile.

Additionally, you need to understand the patients. Aesthetics is a more subjective discipline; what one patient likes may not suit them, not creating the harmony that redefines them. Therefore, it’s important for the doctor to know the methods and have the wisdom to guide and help the patient understand what suits them in a gentle manner.

I practice dentistry out of passion; I really enjoy interacting with people. It’s clear that you can’t endlessly do something you don’t like. And if you do, know that patients can sense it.

I have never seen what I do as a profession; dentistry fits me like a glove.

I want to expand my knowledge as much as possible in the field of prosthetics and aesthetic dentistry. Therefore, I regularly attend profile events. Last year, I even followed Prof. Fradeani’s master’s course.

I joined the DENT ESTET team in 2017 when I moved from Iași to Bucharest. Before working here, I used to visit Bucharest and always imagined how it would be to work here, and somehow, it feels like a dream come true.

I really like the team; I have very supportive colleagues whom I can consult on any problem I might have. For me, it is extremely important that the working environment is highly conducive to individual professional development, that I can work with the latest technologies in the field, and that every day I find the right contexts to improve myself, so to speak.

I am a person who quickly embraced technology. For me, as a prosthetist, a real help is the scanner because almost every day I take impressions, and it greatly facilitates my work and increases the patient’s comfort.

All the technologies I use aim, beyond medical practice, to ensure patient comfort, a very important aspect for a positive experience.

If the relationship with the patient is more serious at the first visit, over time, we create a very good connection. I know my patients well; we talk about work, children, travel, and other activities.

I always try to have a good relationship with every person who enters my office to make them less anxious, more relaxed, and not focused solely on the idea that they are going to the dentist and stressed about the procedures or the consultation itself.

I want them to see me as an empathetic person who cares about their well-being.

I have always liked to be caring and attentive. Generally, I treat patients and the people around me the way I would like others to treat me.

However, the patient needs to understand from the beginning that in the office, you are the doctor, and they are the patient, that their involvement is up to a point, that what they want sometimes can be achievable, other times, unfortunately, it is not possible. Often, I try to give things a gentler tone without confusing empathy with professional uncertainty.

I spend most of my free time with my family. I like to travel, read, and play with my daughter. We do lego together, draw, and since she just learned to read, we’ve switched roles, and she reads me stories. For me, any activity we do together is a burst of energy and relaxation.

I read whenever I get the chance; reading relaxes me, and I think that “The Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco is one of my favorite books.
