“I cannot recommend Dr Madalina and her dental clinic highly enough. She is an outstanding professional who genuinely cares for her patients and approaches every treatment as a true work of art. The clinic itself is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, with staff who are not only friendly but also exceptionally well trained.

I have personally used a range of services here, from extractions and fillings to retainers, and each time I have been impressed by the precision and attention to detail with which Dr Madalina supervises and carries out the procedures. It is rare to find such a combination of skill, artistry, and genuine care.

D. Madalina and her dental nurse Andrea have been great. Knowing that my biggest fears is to go to the dentist they managed to make my visit pleasant. They are a brilliant team and I'll happily comeback.

Isabelle Piombino

Fantastic experience from the moment you’re met with a smile at the reception . For someone who avoids going to the dentist as much as I can , I was made to feel very relaxed and all the procedure was done at a pace to make me feel at ease. The dentist is really great and thoroughly explained my current situation, planed future appointments, after care and great tips to look after my teeth. I really can’t recommend them highly enough.

Dental check-up frequently asked questions in Potters Bar

Here are answers to common questions from patients across Potters Bar, EN6 and Hertfordshire attending routine dental check-ups.

How often should I have a dental check-up?

Routine dental appointments are usually carried out every six months, but the number of times you need to attend these appointments varies from patient to patient. Some patients may require more frequent visits, while others may need to come into the practice less often – your dentist will advise you on how often you need a regular check-up.

Routine dental appointments are essential to maintain good oral health and a happy smile. A standard dental check-up is carried out by an experienced, qualified dentist and is the best way to spot any problems with your mouth before they become serious. Both adults and children require routine dental appointments on a regular basis because preventative dentistry is the key to keeping your mouth healthy.

What happens during a dental check-up?

If it is your first appointment at the practice, your dentist will take a full dental and medical history. They will also:

  • Thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and mouth.
  • Take X-rays if necessary.
  • Discuss any dental problems you may have had since your last visit
  • Discuss general health and dietary issues that can affect your teeth and gums – such as alcohol consumption or smoking.
  • Discuss your teeth-cleaning habits, such as brushing technique, and recommend any improvements such as interdental brushes or flossing as required.
  • Explain any further treatment you may need, such as fillings, root canal treatment or hygienist appointments.
  • Provide you with a full treatment plan.
  • Answer any questions you may have regarding your treatment and what options are available.


If you require no other treatment, your dentist will let you know when you should come for your next routine check-up.

Are x-rays taken at every visit?

X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary to monitor areas that cannot be seen directly.

Can dental check-ups help prevent bigger problems?

Yes. Regular check-ups help detect issues early, reducing the risk of more complex treatment later.

Do you see patients from EN6 and surrounding areas?

Yes. We regularly welcome patients from Potters Bar, EN6, South Mimms, Brookmans Park and wider Hertfordshire.

What should I do if I have concerns between visits?

If you notice discomfort or changes between appointments, it’s best to contact the practice and book an appointment for assessment.
