Dental care in Milan, an hour from home −55%

"Small studio, walnut cabinets and brass, more like somebody's office than a clinic. Fabric dividers instead of the usual white plastic. My daughter was not frightened for once."

"Four veneers, upper front. Dott. Vigorelli talked me down from eight, said the ones further back did not need touching and it would end up looking wrong. A dentist who sells you less than you came in asking for."

"Worth the hour from Chiasso."

"Parking on de Castillia is actually possible, unlike the centre. Bosco Verticale is two streets away if you want a walk afterwards."

"Clean work, no drama. Second crown with them."

"Camilla at reception rearranged things so I could do two appointments in one day instead of driving down twice in a week. The reservation fee I paid through smileeasy came off the treatment cost exactly as she said it would."

"Martina took twenty years of coffee off my teeth in one session and was honest that it comes back if I do not change something."

"Sofia does my cleaning twice a year now. She actually shows you where you are missing with the brush instead of only telling you to floss more."
