Milan is one of Europe’s best destinations for dental tourism: high-quality private dental care at prices typically 30–60% below London, Zurich or New York, with major centres concentrated in the city centre and excellent connections to international airports.
Why Milan
Milan combines world-class private dentistry, a major international airport (Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo), high-speed rail to the rest of Europe, and a city worth visiting. Clinica Crocetta is in central Milan, two metro stops from the Duomo, easily reachable from the airports.
How to plan the trip
Single-visit treatments (hygiene, whitening, simple veneers): 2–4 days. Veneers or single implants: typically two trips of 3–5 days, 2–6 months apart. Invisalign: first visit in person, then check-ups every 6 weeks (can be coordinated with other in-person appointments). Full-arch rehabilitation (All-on-4): two main trips, with detailed planning.
Pre-treatment consultation by video
For international patients, an initial assessment can be arranged remotely on request: send recent X-rays or photos via secure channel, the team prepares an indicative plan and timing before the first trip to Milan.
Practical details
English-speaking team, written documentation in English on request, regular Italian invoices suitable for insurance reimbursement, multiple payment methods including instalments. The clinic can suggest nearby hotels and short-term apartments.

Matteo Segala · Invisalign · complex case · ★★★★★
I completed my entire Invisalign treatment at the Crocetta studio with Dr. Piasente, who from the start was very direct in telling me that, starting from a rather complex situation, maximum cooperation on my part would be needed. Honestly it wasn’t even complicated — it was enough to follow to the letter all the indications I was given at each check-up appointment, and the final result was achieved. No pain, very few discomforts and limited to the first day when I changed aligners — which practically no one ever noticed I was wearing. I add that both the doctor and his collaborator were always very kind and willing to answer my every doubt or concern. An excellent experience — I’m absolutely satisfied.
Serena Vallati · Advanced periodontitis treatment · ★★★★★
Periodontitis can be treated and Dr. Piasente with the hygienists specialised in periodontology saved me. I was literally in crisis because some of my teeth, in particular the incisor, were moving and I had a terrible fear of losing them all. My periodontitis was at an advanced stage and the first thing Dr. Piasente said to me was: ‘we need to work on the problem together, step by step.’ Together because he put all his knowledge into it and worked from the medical side, while I had to change some habits that were harmful for periodontitis. I stopped smoking and started having a more consistent and accurate oral hygiene. I was followed by his whole staff, starting from the waiting room (waiting times always short, I would add). All extremely professional and kind — I felt at home, safe.
Giampaolo Alexander Louis Brusa · Invisalign · 14 aligners · 4 months · ★★★★★
Dr. Piasente did excellent work. A polite and friendly person, as well as a skilled professional. He solved a problem that had given me complexes since adolescence — my smile is shining again with just 14 Invisalign aligners. With a manageable daily commitment, after only 4 months of treatment I could smile without hesitation. I had been to various studios, but I understood that with Invisalign the difference is made by the dentist, who predicts and corrects all tooth movements through software. Many dentists leave the automatic Invisalign positioning, without correcting each individual tooth, which lengthens the treatment by many months and the result is not perfect. Thanks again.
Rosa Marchi · Invisalign Full + extraction · ★★★★★
The studio and Dr. Piasente were recommended to me by a doctor friend. From the very first moment I noticed enormous skill and broad knowledge across the board, both from the gnathological and the orthodontic point of view. He has hands like a fairy — superb delicacy and care. I should add I had a phobia of the dentist and had to have a tooth extracted, and in just two appointments I felt deep peace of mind under his clearly expert eyes. I FELT NOTHING! I want to say it for everyone who, like me, has this strong fear (often unjustified). I also did a full Invisalign treatment — they are official providers — and I have to say I had a great experience. They explained that it is not an automatic treatment as one might think, but it is the doctor who modifies the position of each single tooth. We agreed I’ll come in for a check-up every 6 months — he will definitely be my dentist forever. Thank you so much, Dr. Piasente, you are my hero.
Stefano Morato · Long-term multidisciplinary care · ★★★★★
I have known the Crocetta studio for 2 years now, and in this period I have had the chance to get to know Dr. Piasente, his collaborators and his assistants well, and to appreciate their professionalism and ethical correctness. Each operator has their own area of expertise and all of them work as a team to ensure the patient the highest quality of care. Personally I have been to various studios and this is undoubtedly the one that gave me the greatest peace of mind, not to mention the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and the extreme punctuality of appointments. Furthermore, it was the only studio in Milan to propose an alternative treatment to orthodontics for my gnathological problem — even though the doctor specialises in invisible Invisalign orthodontics, which would have also resolved my reluctance to wear visible braces — once again proving that here the patient comes first.
Francesca T. · Invisalign Full · 12 months · ★★★★★
I was sceptical about Invisalign for a complex adult case, but Dr. Lombardo followed me brilliantly. After 12 months I have the smile I always wanted. I appreciate that they use 3D CT scans and not just intraoral scans — you can tell it’s a serious centre. The best dental experience I’ve had in Milan.
