What general dentistry covers
General dentistry covers preventive check-ups that catch problems early, treatment of decay before it gets worse, and restorations that keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. Studio Marcato provides all of it, for patients of all ages.
Services available
- Comprehensive check-up: thorough examination of all teeth, gums, soft tissues, and jaw joint; assessment of existing restorations
- Digital X-rays: bitewing, periapical, and panoramic (OPG) X-rays on site
- Composite (white) fillings: tooth-coloured fillings that blend naturally and are bonded to the tooth for strength
- Tooth extractions: simple extractions for teeth that cannot be saved; see also our oral surgery page for surgical extractions
- Temporary restorations: emergency stabilisation of broken teeth or lost fillings/crowns while a permanent solution is planned
- Sensitivity treatment: diagnosis and management of tooth sensitivity
- Mouth guard fabrication: custom night guards for teeth-grinding (bruxism)
- Referrals and treatment coordination: when specialist treatment is needed, we guide you through the options and coordinate care
Our conservative approach
We do only what is necessary. We won't recommend a crown where a filling will do, or an extraction when the tooth can be saved, and we keep treatment minimal so your natural teeth last as long as possible.
We'll also tell you when something doesn't need treatment yet, and what to watch for.
For tourists and short-stay visitors
A routine check-up and professional clean fits easily within a day visit to Naples. Many tourists use their stay to catch up on dental care they've been putting off, and skip the waiting lists at home.
For tourists with an acute problem (a lost filling, mild toothache, broken crown) we aim to see you the same day or next working day. WhatsApp us and we'll sort it out.
- No Italian health insurance required
- Visa, Mastercard, Amex accepted

Frequently asked questions: general dentistry in Naples
I need a check-up and cleaning while in Naples. How quickly can I be seen?
For routine check-ups and professional cleaning, we typically have availability within 2–3 working days. WhatsApp us with your preferred dates and we'll find the most convenient slot for you.
I have a cavity. Can you fill it in one appointment?
In most cases, yes. Straightforward composite fillings are completed in a single appointment. Larger cavities or teeth requiring additional assessment may need a follow-up visit. We'll tell you at the start of the appointment.
Can you treat a toothache that's not yet an emergency?
Yes, and it's better to come in before it becomes one. Mild to moderate tooth pain can mean early decay, a cracked tooth or gum problems, all of which are easier and cheaper to treat early.
I haven't been to the dentist in years. Will you judge me?
No. Many adults go years without dental care, because of cost, anxiety, access or other priorities. We look at your mouth as it is now and give you a clear picture of what needs doing and in what order.
Do you provide X-rays?
Yes. We have digital X-ray equipment on site. Bitewing X-rays (for detecting decay between teeth) and periapical X-rays (to examine roots and bone) can be taken immediately if needed. A digital OPG (panoramic X-ray) can also be arranged.
Do you speak English?
Yes, our entire team speaks English. You can describe symptoms, ask questions, and follow your treatment entirely in English.
