Welcome to Dentius Gent-West
Our philosophy
Our priority is to ensure to have sufficient time for all your dental treatments. Each of the dentists in our group practice is trained as a general dentist. After their studies, they have specialised in various disciplines within dentistry, with additional training and practical experience. As a group practice, this allow us to offer our patients a complete treatment package and keeping the treatments up-to-date. In this way we can invest in new technologies and high-quality materials.
Head dentist Charlotte D'haeseleer and her colleagues strive for:
- specialised treatments
- a regular work schedule
- the fastest possible treatment in emergencies
- availability during holiday periods
- referral to specialists if necessary
Our rates
The rates imposed on us by the health insurance fund sometimes make it impossible to manage a state of the art practice. High-quality materials are expensive. Dentures, implants, crowns and bridges must be manufactured by a competent dental laboratory. Our assistants are indispensable when it comes to logistics, hygiene and chairside assistance. For all of the above reasons, our rates are sometimes somewhat higher than the health insurance fund rates. In contrast, our rates are fair and reasonable for the care, quality and expertise provided. In the long run, this method of working is more advantageous, both for you and for the group practice.

Your first visit
During your first visit, we will assess your oral health and try to remedy the most urgent problems as much as possible. In case of more extensive problems, we will offer you a step-by-step treatment plan without any obligation on your part.
Anamnesis
In order to treat you as well as possible, it is important that we are aware of your health situation. Therefore, during the first visit we ask you to inform us about any medical problems and prescribed medication via this form.
What to bring to the practice
We ask you to bring your identity card and, if relevant, a letter from the referring (dental) professional.
Payment
You can pay in our clinic with debit card or cash. Unfortunately, we do not accept credit cards.
Check up
We recommend that you have your teeth checked once or twice a year, as 90% of emergencies can be prevented if the patient maintains strict oral health. We offer you the possibility to receive a periodic reminder by e-mail.
Making an appointment
We make every effort to give both new and existing patients an appointment as soon as possible. If you wish, we send you a text message reminding you of your appointment 24 hours in advance.
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. This way, we can help another patient and you can be rescheduled at a more convenient time.
Info Covid-19
Our group practices remain open and continue to provide dental care. We maintain the highest standards of safety and infection prevention and have maintained the same essential precautions since the first wave of COVID to create a safe environment for both our patients and staff.
