The Practice
A neighbourhood dental practice, held to a referral standard
Essência dos Olivais grew out of the wish to create a place where dentistry could be practised with time: time to listen, to explain and to follow through.
Our story
Close to the people we care for
We are based in Olivais, Lisbon, and it is here that we look after whole families — from a child's first teeth to the most complex rehabilitations. That closeness lets us know clinical histories, habits and worries, and adapt each plan to the person in front of us.
We bring several areas of dentistry together in one place, so that a case can be discussed between colleagues and treated as a whole, without the patient having to retell their story in several different places.
We work to a simple idea: good treatment is treatment the patient understands and takes part in.
Values
What guides our work every day
Listening before treating
Every appointment starts by understanding what brings the patient in and what they hope for.
Transparency
We explain the diagnosis, the alternatives, the stages and the costs before any decision is made.
Clinical rigour
Careful hygiene and safety protocols, and decisions grounded in diagnosis.
Continuity
We follow patients over time, with maintenance and review appointments.
A natural look
We aim for discreet, harmonious results, true to each person's own features.
A personal touch
An approachable team, in a neighbourhood we know and where we are known.
