Treatment Process
The first visit to Clínica Birbe is conducted in a relaxed atmosphere and with plenty of time. The coordination team will welcome you, and we’ll go over the reason for your visit, your medical history, and your expectations. Next, the dentist or Dr. Joan Birbe (in cases requiring surgery) performs an examination: oral, occlusal, temporomandibular, and, when appropriate, facial. We take photographs and, if necessary, perform an intraoral scan or take a panoramic X-ray. We provide you with a clear diagnosis, several treatment options, and a fixed-price quote in writing. The consultation is informational and non-binding, and usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
Recovery time
There is no recovery period after the first visit: it is a diagnostic appointment with no procedures performed. If a cleaning, a minor restoration, or a simple extraction is performed during the appointment, any discomfort would be typical of that specific treatment—generally mild and temporary. We will provide you with the applicable recommendations in writing and a direct point of contact for any follow-up questions. The idea is for you to come away with clear answers and without any pressure to make a decision.
Expected Results
The outcome of the first visit is information: a clear diagnosis, realistic options, a timeline, risks, alternatives, and a budget. We also offer you the option of a second internal evaluation of the equipment in complex cases. The information is provided in writing (estimate, plan) and orally (explanation of the case). This allows you to make informed decisions at home, without any pressure. For many patients, the first visit marks a turning point because, for the first time, they gain a detailed understanding of their situation and options.
Duration of treatment
The first visit usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. If advanced tests are required (3D CT scan, comprehensive functional evaluation, cosmetic photography session), they can be scheduled for a second follow-up appointment. Once the treatment has been decided, the first clinical session is scheduled. Most treatments begin 1–2 weeks after the first visit. If you need some time to think it over, there’s no rush: the plan is saved, and you can pick it up again whenever you’re ready.
Frequently Asked Questions About Your First Visit
What is the first visit like at Clínica Birbe?
This is an informational, no-obligation consultation during which we review your medical history, perform an oral and facial examination, take photographs, conduct an intraoral scan when necessary, and, if needed, take a panoramic X-ray. We provide you with a clear diagnosis, treatment options, and a fixed-price quote in writing. In Barcelona, it usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
What should I bring to my first visit?
If you have them, bring recent X-rays, medical reports, a list of your regular medications, and a list of your questions or concerns. If you’ve been to another clinic, your previous test results are very helpful. It’s not required: we can perform the necessary tests during your appointment. The most important thing is to come with an open mind and ask any questions you may have.
Is the first visit free?
The first visit is at a reduced rate. It includes an examination, a preliminary diagnosis, photographs for review, a panoramic X-ray, treatment options, and a written, fixed-price estimate. This is an informational consultation with no obligation, designed to help you make a decision with all the facts on the table. Some advanced tests (3D CT scans, comprehensive exams) may incur an additional cost, which will be deducted from the treatment fee if you decide to proceed with the treatment. We always let you know in advance.
