There was a problem with the use of my Continent discount card. I ended up wasting an hour at the clinic. The manager contacted me, apologized, and scheduled another appointment, during which the Continent card worked. The teeth cleaning was well done, but I would recommend that the clinic install a water heater, as the water used for brushing teeth is very cold during all procedures in winter. I believe installing heating doesn't cost much money, but it can make a big difference for clients.

I'm giving one star because it's not possible to give zero to a review. For a long time, I was a client of this clinic. I always went there whenever I needed dental treatment and had nothing to complain about. Until the Clinical Management changed, and a large part of the team as well. In mid-2024, after a consultation that felt more like torture, for a root canal that wasn't completed, I said I would never return to that clinic. In November of the same year, I had to go to another emergency clinic to resolve the problem caused by the root canal that they had refused to finish. I was in pain, but the dentist claimed I wasn't. I asked the Santa Madalena Clinic for clarification, and after a meeting with the Clinical Director, everything remained the same, and responsibilities were left unassigned. Today, June 28, 2025, I needed to see a dentist to treat a decayed tooth. I thought twice about going back to Santa Madalena. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. I went into the office to be seen by Dr. Teresa Sousa. Even before taking an x-ray, the doctor was already saying that no restoration could be done and that I would have to have a dental crown or an implant. We proceeded with the x-ray and the answer remained the same. I went downstairs to question the amount to be paid, since I had only had the x-ray and nothing else. They presented me with a bill for €21. They pointed out that this amount already included my insurance company's agreement, because according to the receptionist, without the agreement the amount would be €58... just to look at me. I refused to pay anything beyond the x-ray, which cost €6.50. And that's what I paid, no more, no less! That same afternoon, I sought out another clinic for a second opinion. And... not only was the cavity cleaned, but the tooth was also successfully restored. Enough of trying to extort people at all costs! Enough of being bad professionals! From this day forward, and now for good, it was the last time I set foot in the Santa Madalena Clinic.

Let me tell you about my visit to this place. The staff and the doctors were very kind and friendly. I went in for a routine dental check-up. My teeth are usually in great shape since I have regular check-ups. The doctor told me I had small cavities on my top and bottom left molars, so we decided to treat them. I received two extremely deep injections of anesthesia, and the procedure itself went smoothly. However, once the anesthesia wore off later that day, I started experiencing pain in my teeth that I had never felt before. The next day, the pain continued, with my teeth throbbing, especially when eating or drinking something cold. It also hurt when chewing. I thought the pain would go away after a few days, but it didn’t. For me, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I went in with no complaints or pain, and now, after visiting this clinic, I have constant pain in my teeth every time I eat or drink, and sometimes even for no reason. I don’t know what happened, but I’m afraid I’ve suffered more damage than I had with just a minor cavity. I’ve never had an experience like this anywhere else, so yeah, thank you very much.

Very beautiful office. I went as an emergency with an implant crown that came out. They appointed me that same morning, and saw me on time. Dr. Bruno Aires saw me and did a fantastic job. The price was not expensive at all. I will go back to this office when it’s time for my regular check up and cleaning. I was impressed.

My last comment was actually a joke between me and the doctor. I find the doctor attentive and kind. If you want to contact him and get more information about what really happened, I would appreciate it. I didn't know the likely consequence of my action, as I mentioned before, it was a joke. And I have no complaints about the doctor; on the contrary, I appreciate the excellent work he has done.
