Step-by-step timeline
Free video consultation (English)
- Tell us about symptoms, anxiety level and goals.
- Securely upload radiographs/reports.
- We outline eligibility for a one-visit plan and discuss travel windows.
Fly to Bologna, Italy
- Choose arrival the afternoon/evening before treatment.
- On landing, our airport transfer meets you and drives you to Microdent for your assessment.
In-clinic assessment & exact quote
- Gentle periodontal exam with full charting (probing, bleeding map, mobility, recession).
- Review of your medical history and risks; genetic analysis when indicated.
- Clear discussion of your Microscope-first → Nd:YAG → Ozone sequence and sedation options (oral/IV/deep with anaesthetist, after screening).
- Exact written quote and plan. If you’re eligible, we confirm the one-visit full-mouth timing.
Hotel check-in & Bolognese dinner
- Partner hotels are walking distance from the clinic.
- A hosted Bolognese dinner helps you relax and settle in.
Next-morning treatment — PerioFAST
- Local anaesthesia as standard; sedation if agreed (oral, IV or deep).
- Microscope-first debridement (supra & subgingival calculus) with root surface optimisation.
- Nd:YAG selective decontamination; ozone when indicated.
- Stabilisation and written aftercare; medications if needed.
We repeat this everywhere because it matters for outcomes: Without thorough calculus removal, laser alone won’t help.

FAQs — Journey
Can I really do this in one visit?
Often yes, when clinically appropriate. We confirm after your assessment in Bologna, Italy.
Is it safe to fly after treatment?
We plan your timing case-by-case. Many patients return the same afternoon.
What if I’m very anxious?
Tell us early. We can plan oral, IV or deep sedation (after medical screening with an anaesthetist).
Will I need surgery anyway?
Some advanced sites may still need surgical steps. Our priority is to save every tooth possible and be transparent if a tooth is hopeless.
How much does it cost?
£3,450 all-inclusive; sedation options are extra.
