The first step
Your first visit
The first visit is a fundamental step in every treatment journey — and in a lasting relationship built on trust and mutual collaboration. Before proposing any treatment we want to get to know you: your history, your habits, what worries you and what you wish for your smile.
The visit generally lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. In that time there is no rush and nothing automatic: first we listen, then we examine, and only at the end do we talk about treatment.
How it works
Four steps, one goal.
- 1
Welcome and listening
We collect your medical history and your expectations: conditions, medications, previous dental experiences, any fears. This is the anamnesis, and it underpins every decision that follows.
- 2
Complete clinical examination
We examine teeth, gums, soft tissues and bite, with particular attention to periodontal health. In more complex cases the assessment becomes interdisciplinary: comparing the views of several specialists reduces the risk of error and makes the diagnosis more robust. We document what we observe: diagnosis always comes before therapy.
- 3
Diagnostic imaging
Where needed, we complete the visit with low-dose digital radiographs chosen case by case: from a panoramic X-ray to three-dimensional CBCT. Only the images that are needed, nothing more.
- 4
Personalised treatment plan
We clearly explain what we found and what the options are, with timelines and costs. The proposed therapy is built together: you decide with all the information in hand.
Diagnostic imaging
Seeing clearly to treat better.
Panoramic X-ray
Both dental arches in a single image: an overview of teeth, roots and bone structures.
Full intraoral series
A series of small, high-definition X-rays, tooth by tooth: the diagnostic standard in periodontology.
Bitewings
X-rays focused on the crowns of the back teeth, ideal for catching hidden interdental decay.
CBCT (Cone Beam)
Three-dimensional imaging for implant and surgical cases, with radiation doses up to six times lower than a conventional CT scan.
At the end of the visit you will have a clear picture of your oral health and, if treatment is needed, a detailed personalised estimate, with no surprises and no obligation. From there, if you choose to continue with us, your treatment journey begins. The first step is always the simplest: call or write to us to book your appointment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does the first visit last?
Generally 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. We prefer to take the time needed to listen to you and examine the situation calmly, rather than rush.
What should I bring to the first visit?
If you have them, bring previous X-rays (digital copies included) and a list of the medications you take. Any records of recent treatment are also useful: they help us reconstruct your history without repeating exams already done.
How much does the first visit cost?
The cost of the visit is communicated when you book. Afterwards, if treatment is needed, you receive a detailed personalised estimate — we do not publish generic price lists because every treatment plan is built around the individual patient.
From what age can I bring my child?
We recommend a first visit within the first years of life, indicatively around age 3–4 — or earlier if something worries you. First visits for little ones are playful get-to-know sessions designed to build trust — Dr. Eusebio dedicates herself precisely to pediatric dentistry.
How do I reach the practice?
We are at Via Bazzanese 32/4 in Casalecchio di Reno, about fifteen minutes from central Bologna. By bus: suburban lines 83 and 94, “Ceretolo Chiesa” stop. By train: “Casalecchio Ceretolo” station on the Bologna–Vignola suburban line. By car: from the Biagi roundabout, take the first exit onto Via Bazzanese and after 750 metres you will find us on the right.
