Ariella

Lisbon, Oct 2026

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.

Lisbon, Mar 2025

I went to Maria initially for my gums to have a clean and needed two sessions - first half of the mouth, then the other half - and it was really good. She’s knowledgeable, very caring and gentle, explains everything, and is super easy to contact and proactive about days that work. My mom visited and Maria did a prosthesis replacement for her, and I went back for a filling yesterday; the work can take a while with my teeth, but my comfort was really good and I was glad when it was finished. The office is very clean and organized, and the price felt really reasonable.

Setúbal, Oct 2025

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring dentists in Lisbon.

How much does a dentist cost in Lisbon?
A check-up is usually €30 to €50 (often free for new patients), a cleaning €40 to €60, whitening €300 to €550 and an implant with crown from around €380. Portugal is generally good value, which is why dental tourism is popular here.
Does Portugal have good dentists?
Yes, dental care in Portugal is high quality and modern, and many clinics are used to international patients. It is a common destination for dental tourism precisely because of the quality-to-price balance.
Is dental care free in Portugal?
Mostly no. The public system covers little routine dentistry for adults, so most people use private clinics, which are still reasonably priced. Always ask for a written treatment plan before bigger work.
Are there English-speaking dentists in Lisbon?
Yes, plenty of Lisbon clinics work with expats in English. We list ones reviewed by other internationals, so you can be sure you will be understood about symptoms and treatment.
Can I get an emergency dentist in Lisbon?
Yes, many clinics keep slots for urgent problems like a broken tooth or sudden pain, sometimes same day. Look for ones that mention emergency appointments and check their reviews.
What should I check before choosing a dental clinic?
Read reviews for the specific treatment you need, ask for a written estimate, and confirm the dentist is registered. Be a little wary of clinics that push expensive cosmetic work when you only asked for a check-up.
How do you say dentist in Portuguese?
A dentist is a dentista in Portuguese, and a clinic is a clínica dentária. Those are the terms to search for, though most clinics here have English-speaking staff.
How do I find a dentist I can trust in Lisbon?
Check reviews and the clinic registration before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and ranked on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
