Consultation and check-up
The first step toward a healthy smile is a detailed consultation, in which we carefully evaluate the overall condition of your teeth and gums. Based on this precise diagnosis, we build a personalized, transparent treatment plan, clearly explaining every stage needed to reach your goals.
What a dental consultation at Bellodent includes
A good dental consultation begins with listening: what bothers you, since when, what treatment you have had before and what you want from your teeth. Then comes the complete examination — tooth by tooth, the gums, the soft tissues, your bite — and a check of any existing work, fillings or crowns.
Where a visual examination is not enough, we recommend a dental X-ray, which shows what is happening beneath the surface: hidden cavities between the teeth, the condition of the roots, the level of the bone. You do not leave with a list of medical jargon, but with a clear picture: what is healthy, what needs treatment now and what can simply be monitored. The consultation usually takes 30–60 minutes — enough time for every question to be answered. No rushing: that is how we work.
The treatment plan: clear, staged, no surprises
Based on the diagnosis, we build the treatment plan together — the document that turns “I have problems with my teeth” into concrete steps. The plan sets out what we treat, in what order and why: urgent issues and pain come first, then cavities and gums, and the restorative stages — crowns, prosthetic work, cosmetic corrections — are built on a healthy foundation.
For each stage we explain what it involves, how long it takes and what it costs, before we begin. If there is more than one way to solve a problem, we present all the options, with the advantages and limits of each — the final decision is yours, and our role is to make sure you can take it well informed. The plan is not set in stone: if your situation or priorities change, we adapt it together. Transparency at the start saves confusion all the way through.
How to prepare for your first visit
You do not need any special preparation — come as you are, ideally with your teeth brushed. If you have recent dental X-rays, bring them: they help us see how things have evolved and can sometimes spare you a new scan. Just as useful are a list of the medication you take regularly and information about any known medical conditions or allergies — they can influence the choice of treatment and anesthesia.
If you are booking because of acute pain, tell us on the phone: we will find you a slot as quickly as possible and deal with the urgent problem first. And if you have been putting off a visit out of fear or embarrassment about the state of your teeth, one thing is worth saying: we do not judge anyone. Booking is simple — by phone at +373 79 591 848 or online — and the first consultation is exactly that: a calm conversation and an evaluation, with no obligation to start treatment on the spot.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a dental consultation take?
An evaluation consultation usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. In that time, the dentist listens to you, fully examines your teeth and gums, reviews any X-rays and explains what was found in plain language. You leave with a clear picture of your situation and, if treatment is needed, a staged plan. We do not rush consultations — there is room in them for your questions.
Do I need a dental X-ray at the first consultation?
Not always, but often yes. A dental X-ray shows what an examination cannot: hidden cavities between the teeth, the condition of the roots and bone, infections without symptoms. The dentist recommends one only when it adds information the diagnosis needs. If you have recent X-rays, bring them to the consultation — they may be sufficient and spare you a new scan.
What is a treatment plan and why do I need one?
The treatment plan is the map of the whole journey: what problems exist, in what order they are treated, how long each stage takes and what it costs. It puts urgent issues first and builds the rest on a healthy foundation. With a clear plan you know from the start what to expect and can make informed decisions. You receive it at the consultation, after the complete evaluation.
Do you speak English at Bellodent?
Yes. The clinic serves patients in Romanian, Russian and English, so expats and visitors to Chisinau can discuss their diagnosis, treatment plan and aftercare instructions without a language barrier. If you prefer a particular language, mention it when booking. Appointments can be made by phone at +373 79 591 848 or online.
How much does a consultation at Bellodent cost?
We do not publish prices on the website, because every situation is different. The cost of the consultation and of any recommended treatment is communicated transparently at the clinic, before any procedure begins — at the consultation you receive the full evaluation and a treatment plan with the costs of each stage. To book, call us at +373 79 591 848.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
The general recommendation is a check-up every six months, usually combined with a professional cleaning. Regular check-ups allow cavities and gum problems to be caught early, when treatment is simple and quick. People at higher risk — smokers, people with braces, patients with gum disease — may need more frequent visits; the interval is set individually.
