Among the top-rated private dental practices in central Milan, Clinica Crocetta combines a 4.9★ rating across 287 verified Google reviews, Invisalign Diamond II + Apex 2026 status (top 0.1% of providers worldwide selected by Align Technology), authorised Straumann implantology centre status and over forty years of continuous activity at Largo della Crocetta 1.
What 287 verified Google reviews tell you
Beyond the average rating, the volume of reviews matters: 287 verified reviews represent a meaningful base of independent feedback, accumulated over years rather than days. Reviews can be read in any language thanks to Google’s automatic translation and cover every discipline — Invisalign, veneers, implants, oral surgery, periodontology, gnathology, endodontics.
Apex: what it actually means
The Apex programme is Align Technology’s elite-level selection. According to Align, only approximately 0.1% of Invisalign providers worldwide achieve this status. It is not bought or self-awarded — it is granted by the manufacturer based on documented clinical volume, case complexity and outcomes.
Straumann authorised centre
Straumann is the global benchmark for dental implants. Authorised partner centres meet specific standards on protocols, materials and continuing education. Straumann implants carry a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer on the implant body.
Forty years at the same address
Clinica Crocetta has operated at Largo della Crocetta 1 in central Milan since 1984. Long-term continuity is a structural feature that few clinics offer — it means the same team can follow patients across years and decades, important for complex restorations, implants and orthodontic stability.

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.
Giulia R. · Invisalign Full · 14 months · ★★★★★
I was looking for the best Invisalign orthodontist in Milan and I found Clinica Crocetta. Dr. Piasente corrected my crowding in 14 months with a perfect result. He explained that they manually modify every movement in the ClinCheck — they don’t accept the automatic plan. You can see the difference. Elegant studio, always on time.
