We Treat, Restore, and Implant Teeth While You Sleep
General anesthesia in dentistry has changed the preconceptions of many patients regarding visits to the dentist. This exclusive service, still innovative for Moldova, in dental treatment, frees our body from the fears and discomfort we feel when we go to the dentist.
Although local dental anesthesia provides, in most cases, painless treatment, the patient remains conscious and may feel vibrations, pressures, noises and smells.
Fear of needles, as well as the specific sensations of local anesthesia, can cause discomfort, and in some patients even anxiety and stress. All these can influence the success of the treatment, usually the surgical one. A stressed patient, with fear or even phobia of the dentist, makes the doctor’s work difficult, which will also increase the duration of the intervention.
The good news is that in our clinic in Chișinău, such patients can benefit from dental treatment under general anesthesia or conscious sedation.
In what situations do patients turn to Punto Bianco for general anesthesia?
General anesthesia makes the procedure seem instantaneous, eliminating the sensation of discomfort during the intervention.
General anesthesia reduces stress, ensuring deep sleep and keeping airways clear, preventing choking risks. Also, the patient does not experience the visual, auditory or sensory trauma of the intervention.
The patient is completely asleep, which makes procedures faster and easier for everyone.
General anesthesia not only increases comfort, but also safety in the case of complex procedures, such as zygomatic implants.
In dentistry, general anesthesia with intubation is used in complex cases, with the patient being completely unconscious, with breathing mechanically assisted through an endotracheal tube. This allows the doctor to perform long or difficult procedures without discomfort for the patient.
The patient is unconscious but maintains natural breathing, and medications are administered intravenously. This method is used for dental interventions that require a shorter period of unconsciousness and a high degree of control.
The patient is very relaxed and in a state of semiconsciousness, but can respond to stimuli, being used for more difficult dental procedures that require reduction of anxiety and pain.
The patient is conscious and relaxed, with a state of calm, but without losing complete control, being suitable for minor dental interventions or for anxious patients.
What, when and how we do at Punto Bianco clinic in Chișinău
1
Primary consultation with the specialist doctor
We resort to general anesthesia with a specific purpose, namely to perform a dental intervention or treatment. Therefore, it is essential, first of all, to consult the dentist to establish a treatment plan and decide together whether you need general anesthesia or if there are alternative methods.
2
Referral for medical tests
If the need for intervention under sedation or general anesthesia is confirmed, you will receive referrals for medical tests. These include mandatory: blood tests, cardiogram and chest X-ray. If necessary, you will be accompanied by a clinic representative to our medical partners to perform them without wasting time and also benefit from special prices for Punto Bianco clinic patients.
3
Consultation with the anesthesiologist
The next important step is the consultation with the anesthesiologist. He will analyze your general health condition, medical tests, and ask you additional questions. In some cases you will be referred to other specialists for consultation. Following the consultation, we will receive confirmation from the anesthesiologist that we can safely perform the planned dental interventions for your health.

Performing the intervention/dental treatments “under sleep”
On the day of the intervention, the anesthesiologist will induce you into a state of relaxation and deep sleep and will monitor your condition throughout the treatment. Our team of doctors will perform all planned procedures while you sleep #WithoutFear #WithoutPain #WithoutUnpleasantMemories

I came to this clinic through the recommendation of a friend from Moldova. I want to say that I am extremely satisfied; I can finally smile, something I hadn’t done since I was 18. Here I had a unique experience. Thank you to the entire clinic staff for the care and attention given. You can confidently come to this clinic; you will receive tremendous assistance, very high-quality service, and most importantly, you will leave here with a big smile from ear to ear! Thank you all — now I can smile without covering my mouth 🙂 You are fantastic!
Here you will find everything you need: a warm welcome, impeccable cleanliness, availability, and above all, exceptional professionalism. A special thank you to the first people who supported me, Maia and Elisa. Without their help, I would surely have returned to Italy without completing the treatment. I also want to thank the doctors who cared for me with such attention and dedication. I am grateful to everyone, and now, at last, I will enjoy a new version of myself. Punto Bianco Clinic will always have a special place in my heart.
I warmly recommend Punto Bianco Dental Clinic for several essential reasons. First of all, for the remarkable professionalism of the entire staff throughout all consultations and treatments. Secondly, for the impeccable cleanliness, unlike anything I have encountered in any other dental clinic. Thirdly, for the state-of-the-art equipment available at the clinic and, most importantly, for the fact that this clinic does not refuse patients with extremely complex dental cases, as was my situation.I searched for a dental clinic in Canada, the country where I have lived since 2000, and discovered that I needed a maxillofacial surgeon. I was refused several times. I sent my 3D scan to different countries, including Hungary, Romania, and Turkey. Many clinics, after seeing my 3D scan, stopped communicating with me by email. The only clinic that promptly responded to every question and concern was Punto Bianco Dental Clinic.
I was there more than 2 years ago for 3 weeks for a full dental rehabilitation — the best decision I ever made. Since then, I haven’t had a single problem and I am very happy to this day. Many thanks to the entire team. With love, Peter Heins.
I warmly recommend #PuntoBianco to everyone who wants a beautiful smile. The surgeons, prosthodontists, and the entire medical staff are truly at the highest level in their field. And all the receptionists always greet you with welcoming smiles.I am regaining my smile and confidence thanks to Punto Bianco Clinic. I highly recommend it! 🤗🤗 Thank you all!
The final result was exceptional. My double experience at Punto Bianco was fantastic! An excellent clinic — I underwent surgery under general anesthesia with excellent results. Highly qualified staff, ready to help with any need.
I warmly recommend this clinic, highlighting the professionalism and dedication to patients from the very first minute until the end of treatment. Although I came alone, I never felt neglected thanks to the constant phone assistance from Alina, the clinic manager, and Tatiana, my translation assistant, who were dedicated to me throughout and after the postoperative period. I also want to thank Olesea and Corina for their unconditional support.Overall, the clinic’s team is excellent: from surgeons, anesthetists, and dental prosthetists to receptionists and drivers. The care I received was of the highest quality, and I am very grateful for it. My life has changed, and the clinic was essential in fulfilling my dream. The best part is yet to come in six months when I will have my final smile. In the meantime, I wish you all the best. A warm hug.
Finally I can smile! The professionalism and kindness of the whole team are remarkable. I was with them for a complicated process. Each visit was like a visit to friends. I couldn't be happier with the results. They provided excellent service and I will be here for all my future dental needs! Thanks
We know you have many questions related to general anesthesia and the dental treatments you are about to have. Watch the videos made at Punto Bianco clinic in Chișinău, and below read the answers from our specialists to frequently asked questions.
For our patients to be safe, we use latest generation medications, and the operating room is equipped with the most advanced anesthesia machine in Chișinău. Patients are consulted and monitored during the intervention and in the recovery room by one of the most experienced specialists in Moldova in Anesthesia and Intensive Care.
In our clinic, besides general anesthesia, we also use traditional anesthesia methods and types: local (only for one tooth) or regional (for a group of teeth) that numb the area where the dentist or surgeon works. Often patients after consultation with our specialists calm down, gain confidence and perform dental treatment without general anesthesia.
Unfortunately, some patients with serious health problems cannot benefit from general anesthesia in our clinic (or other private dental clinic in Moldova), and in some cases any non-vital surgical intervention is not recommended. Therefore, consultation with the anesthesiologist is mandatory. The doctor will analyze the set of tests and as appropriate will indicate consultation with other specialists before making a decision.
General anesthesia is an optional service and is paid separately from the interventions and procedures performed. Consult the price list for dental services in Chișinău.
General anesthesia or conscious sedation are exclusive and innovative services, relatively new in Moldova. To practice them, special authorization, equipment and specialized personnel are needed. Very few dental clinics in Chișinău and the country can provide them.
