Dental Clinic

What is the best dental clinic in Lisbon?

Patients are sometimes dazzled by the luxurious appearance of certain dental offices. The sophisticated look of dental clinics in Lisbon may have some influence over your decision, but should not be a determinant factor in your choice.
Dental offices must respect a number of basic principles on minimum conditions and mandatory requirements.
The compulsory conditions to be respected by a health unit are enumerated below. We hope the list will help the readers of this blog to clarify their doubts regarding how to choose the dental clinic in Lisbon that is best suited to this type of fixed treatments.

  • A Lisbon dental clinic must have different and separate areas, such as a reception, toilets, waiting room, and dental offices.
  • The hygiene of the different areas of the dental clinic must be optimal and the materials used in its construction must be easy to clean.
  • Natural light is very important to help in the choice of the good colour for the teeth, even though artificial light may be used.
  • It is important that the indoor air is as clean as possible and that there is ventilation to prevent the spread of diseases.

Medical and auxiliary staff

  • Dentists and dental assistants must protect themselves and their patients. Suitable gowns, gloves, masks and goggles are used for an effective protection.
  • The gloves are usually white, of latex or vinyl. However, since latex can cause allergic reactions on the hands of the healthcare professionals and also on the patient’s mouth, there are also acrylic nitrile gloves that do not provoke allergies. These are blue and have been used by emergency medical teams for some time now.
  • Gloves should be worn before any contact with sterile material and before the doctor touches the patient’s mouth.

Equipment and materials


The ideal implantology centres should be equipped with equipment certified by the competent authorities, such as the disinfection tank and the autoclave for the correct sterilisation of the instruments used in medical treatments.

Radiology is fundamental for a correct diagnosis and must be licensed by the General Directorate of Health. Licences are granted for a specific duration: they have to be renewed every five years.

Dental equipment must comply with current standards; a functional dental chair and an efficient implantology engine are essential for fixed treatments.

There are numerous dentists and dental clinics in Lisbon. The choice is yours! Be sure to base your choice not only on the look of the dental clinic, but also on the recommendations from friends or acquaintances.

What is the best dental clinic in Porto or in the city of Setúbal?

There are several dental clinics in Porto and in Setúbal.

In order to choose the best dental clinic, you should ask for recommendations from people you know. Ask them what they think about the dental treatments they have undergone and whether or not they are pleased with them.


Candidates for oral surgery

How do I know if I’m a candidate for oral surgery?


Most people can undergo this kind of treatment. The techniques have evolved a lot in the last decade and more and more models of dental implants are available, suitable for all types of surgeries and for the different qualities of the bone. The clinics have at their disposal all kinds of models: short, long, zygomatic, with nanotechnology, of ceramic or zirconia, of titanium, with thread tip or flat tip and fine or thick diameter.


Synthetic bone, autogenous bone and collagen-based membranes are available to overcome any bone deficit. All bone defects can be repaired by classical surgery or by the latest technology, such as the zygomatic treatment.

Therefore, there is no apparent reason for having any doubts that a fixed rehabilitation is a good choice for you. The surgical protocols are much diversified and can be adapted to different types of needs and age groups.

During this consultation, you will be submitted to a questionnaire (anamnesis). This is an interview by the dentist in Lisbon and dentist in Porto that aims to gather all the elements from the patient necessary to identify the adequate procedure to follow.


Anamnesis allows for a correct diagnosis and decision on the most favourable technique to use in each specific case. This is a questionnaire that aims to assess your overall state of health and possible systemic diseases.
The interview together with a clinical examination of the mouth, to assess if there are missing teeth, the type of prosthesis used, the presence of tooth decay or oral diseases, such as periodontitis, will help in this final diagnosis.
The use of auxiliary means, such as radiography, orthopantomography or the modern 3D CT-scan, which show the type of bone of the patient, as well as its quantity and quality, contributes to an accurate diagnosis and to choose the best and most suitable solution for your case.

What is the cost of the treatment?

Considering the benefits the treatment can bring to your overall health and self-esteem, the price will not be a problem. The treatment is not expensive. Also remember that with proper oral hygiene your fixed treatment can last for many and many years or even a lifetime.
