English-Speaking Orthodontists in Lisbon

I went to Carolina for a general checkup and cleaning, and also got some advice on issues with my jaw, a prescription for Sensodyne, and a prescription for an x ray. She was helpful, but the cleaning felt a bit quick and a bit short, and I wanted a more thorough clean, which I’m used to. I also had to wait 30 minutes because the wrong time was put in, although she was apologetic about it. It felt a bit expensive for what it was, and I’m not sure if I would go back again.

I’ve been a client for a few years and everything is going very, very well. The new place is brand new, clean and modern with all the equipment - they even take before and after photos for implants. They explained my case step by step: tooth decay with infected roots and not enough bone, so first extract the bad teeth and then wait about four to five months before continuing, and they don’t rush the steps. Communication is mostly in English or Portuguese and sometimes with Google Translate since the French speaker isn’t always there, appointments are generally on time, and the price feels fair with my supplementary.

I went in for a clean about a week ago, and I had an incredibly positive experience. The hygienist was out sick, so the dentist saw me, and he told me I was brushing my teeth all wrong and needed a different kind of electric toothbrush, and he took a lot of time showing me what I should be doing. I left having cleaner teeth than I’ve ever had, which really shocked me. I got the toothbrush he told me to get, and after using it for a few days, the pain I was having from recession was gone, and I’m really grateful.
