International students at Bocconi, Politecnico, IULM, NABA, Cattolica and other Milan universities can have wisdom teeth removed safely and affordably with full English-speaking care at Clinica Crocetta — including insurance documentation, flexible scheduling around exams, and a central location on Metro M3 Crocetta.
Why Milan is a good place to remove wisdom teeth as a student
Three reasons. First, cost: a wisdom tooth extraction in Milan typically costs 30–60% less than in the US, UK, Switzerland or Northern Europe, with comparable quality. Second, language: clinics in central Milan accustomed to international students offer English-speaking care. Third, technology: top centres like Clinica Crocetta use 3D CBCT with nerve mapping, the same standard as the best international clinics.
How insurance and reimbursement work
Most international student health insurance plans (including those required by Italian universities for non-EU students, EU EHIC and home-country plans) cover dental surgery either directly or via reimbursement. Italian private clinics typically operate on pay-and-claim: you pay, the clinic issues an Italian tax invoice plus English documentation on request, you submit to your insurer. Clinica Crocetta routinely prepares: itemised invoices, clinical reports in English, panoramic X-rays and CBCT images, pre-authorisation quotes.
Planning around the academic year
Best times to plan a wisdom tooth extraction as a student: early in a term (recovery before exam stress), winter break (longer recovery window), end of academic year (recovery before summer travel or return home). Avoid: the week before exams, important presentations, or international flights. The clinic discusses your academic calendar at the first visit.

Martina B. · Wisdom teeth extraction · ★★★★★
I had to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed and I was panicking. Dr. Giboli was fantastic: rapid procedure, painless, with the 3D CT to plan everything safely. Zero swelling and very quick recovery. I felt nothing. For oral surgery in Milan I put myself in the right hands.
Andrea R. · Impacted wisdom tooth · ★★★★★
Horizontally impacted wisdom tooth close to the nerve — a complicated case. Dr. Giboli extracted it with a minimally invasive technique and incredible precision. You can tell from his hospital surgical experience. Everything explained step by step, no post-op pain. An outstanding oral surgeon — I recommend him in Milan.
Chiara V. · All four wisdom teeth · ★★★★★
I had all four wisdom teeth removed in two sessions. Dr. Giboli and the staff made me feel at ease despite my anxiety. Very fast procedures, very clear post-op protocol and no complications. Ultra-modern studio at Crocetta. The best surgery experience I could have had in Milan.
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.
