I had an overlay come loose while on holiday from Scotland and booked an appointment at Centro Dental Smiling. The service I received was excellent and really good value for money. All the staff I met were friendly and professional and I have no hesitation in recommending the practice to anyone else who has dental issues while in Madrid. The staff spoke really good English and my overlay is now…

I went to Centro dental mid travel around Europe as I was in very bad tooth pain. The whole team there were awesome, they all have very good English and explained every step of the service to me. I had an emergency root canal done, they were very quick and all my pain was gone so I’ve been able to enjoy the rest of my trip!

Thank you for your kind words, we are glad to know that you continued your trip without any inconvenience!
Last month I had my wisdom tooth removed at the clinic, and I was absolutely happy with the experience. From the very beginning, I felt extremely comfortable there. The entire team was extremely friendly and accommodating, and it was a huge plus that everyone could speak English (and one lady also German ) as well. The whole process was smooth and professional, the doctor explained everything in…

Thank you Anika for your kind words. We are glad to know that your experience was great.
Absolute excellence. I have just had a significant tooth repair done and the service from all staff has been exemplary. Great communication despite my poor Spanish. Their English was wonderful and made the process simpler than otherwise. The dentistry was excellent and I have a beautiful x-ray to prove it. It was an emergency last minute job after I broke a tooth. They were very accomodating.…

Hello! thank you very much for your comments. It was a pleasure to have you with us. Regards
I contacted Centro Dental Smiling from Salamanca because I had broken a previously crowned molar and wanted a dentist to look at it to assess what treatment was necessary before I could get back to my own dentist at the end of our trip, four weeks later. I was leaving Salamanca early on Monday before I could see a dentist there and Centro Dental Smiling quickly responded and gave me an appointment…

for the day after I arrived in Madrid which was truly excellent. From the time I walked in everything was handled very capably and professionally. Three dentists looked at the problem, discussed the options with me and I was able to decide on what treatment I wanted so as not to interfere with the rest of our trip. The fees were openly discussed and were more than reasonable. I could not have been happier or more impressed with the service and the professionalism of everyone there - all of whom also spoke very good English. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank you very much Mr Graw for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you. We hope you will enjoy the rest of your trip. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other issues. Kind regards.
A few days ago, my wife had two fillings done and both of our teeth cleaned. Everything was perfect. The diagnosis, the procedures, and the punctuality... The service was very professional, and the whole team was very friendly and attentive at all times. 100% recommended.

Hello Carlos, thank you so much for your kind words!!!
Hi! I see you need more details about my experience. Sure. I took an appointment to see an orthodontist, instead I was received by two normal dentists who were trying to sell me a TAC scan by making me believe I needed one, with 90's cheesy marketing tactics, and wasted two full hours of my life in the process. I later asked you for the x-ray that you took in that appointment with your own…

wn initiative, and you charged me 65 euros to send it, even though in Spain you are obliged to give a patient's file for free and immediately whenever it is asked. I paid you because I didn't want to risk my file suddenly disappearing. So, I have the invoice of that transaction, I don't know why I don't appear in your records, have you already deleted my file? You should've kept it for 2 years, no? But hey, who cares about rules and regulations 🤷

Dear Bengisu, Thank you for providing us with more information so we can locate your medical history and the WhatsApp conversations we had with you. The name you gave us was abbreviated and didn't match the one we found on Google, but we have everything. I'll try to answer your message. You requested an appointment at our clinic to review an ongoing orthodontic treatment that hadn't been planned or reviewed by us. Therefore, for us, you are a new patient, and we need to start the diagnosis from scratch to rule out any pre-existing conditions that need to be treated before resuming orthodontic treatment. Yes, we told you that a CBCT scan was necessary (which is not a CT scan, but rather a high-definition, ultra-low-radiation 3D radiological scanner. This type of machine is very difficult to find in a conventional clinic). The reason is that in this initial diagnosis, as we informed you, we found several conditions unrelated to orthodontics that made it necessary to obtain more information about them and propose solutions. Apart from these, when a patient comes to us with orthodontic treatment already started at another clinic, we need to know the position of the tooth roots in relation to the bone. This is because we frequently encounter patients whose tooth roots have been partially displaced from the bone during previous orthodontic treatments, which is very detrimental to the patient. Therefore, it is essential to know this beforehand, as it significantly limits what can or should be done and what can be achieved with orthodontic treatments without further harming the patient. We charge €65 for the panoramic radiograph, because that is the cost of this radiological test and because you requested a copy in writing. In Spain, by law, we are obligated to provide the medical record upon request, but not the diagnostic tests; these are only provided if the patient pays for them. Regarding continuing orthodontic treatment started at another clinic with another doctor, as explained to you, this should not be done without the patient providing their orthodontic study and the necessary radiological tests, nor if the patient has other unresolved conditions. Since you provided nothing, we indicated that we could proceed, but starting from scratch. You did not see an orthodontist, even though we scheduled an appointment, because you declined to attend. You asked us for a diagnosis over the phone, which is not possible without seeing the patient. We understand that patients sometimes believe things can be done according to their own understanding, but to avoid side effects, it is best to follow the established medical protocols. We also understand that your time is valuable, and we were unable to explain clearly that to achieve your desired results, we must not skip essential steps or appointments to avoid unwanted complications. We hope you finally understand that our approach is not based on any kind of sales tactics. You have come to a dental center equipped with the latest technologies, which we have made available to you to provide the best possible diagnosis and treatment plan. Sincerely,
Dishonest service! Friendly staff however a ‘free’ consultation is not free. They will put you through services which you have not asked for and provide you with the bill after. Very dishonest way of working by not informing the customer of any additional costs prior to performing them. Do not recommend.

Hello Tyler, thank you for your comments. About the free consultation that you mention that you found in our web. As we explain on it, we give for free the consultation, our knowledge, the diagnosis. But to make proper diagnosis we must take a HD full mouth xray that is 65€ and is the only thing that you paid. Machines as this there are not many in the world. Are ultra low radiation and high definition. We made other diagnosis that you did not pay as the intraoral pictures, the transillumination diagnosis… But we will consider your comment to avoid future misunderstanding. Kind regards.
I'm grateful for how quickly and well Dental Smiling took care of my mother. She was visiting from Canada, and ended up needing a Root Canal. They granted us an appointment the same day I called. They assessed her situation (in perfect English), got her on antibiotics and pain medication. Then scheduled the surgery which was quick and painless as well as extremely affordable. Thank you for all…

The service was good, or maybe just okay. The staff were very friendly, but they definitely weren't clear about the price. I went in for a "special" prophylaxis, as they called it (which was different because it included state-of-the-art scans and other things). The whole service was supposed to cost 70 euros. When I left, it turned out the total cost was over 220 euros... outrageous! I wasn't…

going to complain, though, because it was already done, but they really should warn people that the 2-second "technology" and other extras would add another 150 euros. Maybe if they had only charged me the 70 euros they quoted me, even by email, I would have given them 5 stars. But for the price I ended up paying, it definitely wasn't what I expected. Anyway, at least they gave me a little gift bag with a bamboo toothbrush!

Good morning Andrea. Thank you for your message. We appreciate that you were satisfied with the cleaning and gave us 5 stars. On the other hand, we would like to clarify your review by stating that the initial reason you came to see us on November 30th was to have a suture removed from surgery you had at another clinic in August. We performed the necessary examination. We took intraoral camera photos to show you the condition of your mouth and performed a full high-definition panoramic X-ray, for which we charged €65. This X-ray is essential for a correct diagnosis, especially when the sutures have been in place for a significant amount of time. Sutures should not remain in the mouth for more than 2 or 3 weeks, and in your case, they had been in place for over 12 weeks. This is very problematic as it can lead to serious bone and gum infections. The cleaning cost €70. We charged €20 for suture removal. There was no charge for the examination and complete diagnosis. There was also no charge for diagnosing with transillumination lamps. What you may have forgotten is that you scheduled and paid for an appointment with our Periodontics specialist, an appointment you have not yet attended and which we strongly recommend you do. Before charging you anything, we informed you of each of the prices and the reason for your need for the treatment, showed you the photos, and explained all the necessary procedures. And as always, we remain at your disposal to clarify any aspect you may need. Sincerely,
Highly recommended! The clinic staff is very friendly; I was lucky enough to be seen the same day I went. They are very clear and patient in their explanations. They made me feel very comfortable, and Luis and Yolanda were very attentive. I'll definitely be back next time!

As a patient from the states, you can honest trust this dentist office! I had 2 chipped veneers and they fixed it within same day visit all for a great price in 1 hour!!! Not even the dentist in Mexico will do that!

Thanks Jason!
I met them thirteen years ago and had composite veneers done. I was so happy with the results that they became my go-to dentist in Madrid, and I had another set of veneers done this year. The whole team is wonderful: Luis, Yolanda, Ana, and Dr. Marta works wonders. I'm thrilled with the results and their friendly service. 100% recommended! -Jose Bermúdez-

Hi Mia, thank you so much! It's a pleasure to have you here. Best regards
Yesterday my daughter had an appointment, but they didn't even give her a dental exam. When she made the appointment, they asked her to send her X-ray, which she did. It was a good quality X-ray, recently taken in the UK. But when she arrived for the appointment, the doctor didn't even examine her teeth; instead, he immediately demanded another X-ray for 65 euros. My daughter didn't receive the…

promised free initial consultation, and they didn't even look at her teeth.

Good morning. Thank you for your message; it allows us to explain our working methods to our patients. As I mentioned yesterday, dentistry has changed significantly in some countries over the last five years. This is all thanks to the great technological advancements available today. With current equipment, we can see inside the teeth in ways we couldn't even imagine before. Our protocol, as explained to you yesterday during your consultation, for the accurate diagnosis of a patient consists of: 1. Taking a full mouth X-ray using an ultra-low radiation, high-definition machine. 500 times less radiation than other similar machines. 2. Analyzing the X-ray image. 3. Visually examining the mouth. 4. Using transillumination lamps to detect cavities, cracks, and fractures. 5. Using 3D scanners, if necessary, to assess other pathologies. 6. Providing the patient with information and a treatment plan. The two small X-rays your daughter brought yesterday, when asked what part of her mouth they showed, were not clear enough. They were manually developed (a technique that fell out of use many years ago in Spain) and do not provide sufficient information for diagnosis because they are not high-resolution images. As stated on our website, we do not charge for either the examination or the diagnosis. Yesterday, we did not charge for the first visit, just as we do not charge any patient. We provide our knowledge and time free of charge when making the diagnosis, but we do charge for the images taken, which are essential for a correct diagnosis, using our X-ray machines. These machines are only found in modern dental centers. I regret the negative impression you had of our dental center. I hope you can find a dentist who can offer you the service you are looking for. We remain at your disposal for any questions you may have.
