Why choose Ferrara Dental Practice in Bari?
For anyone looking for an orthodontics specialist in Bari, Dr. Irene Ferrara holds a university specialisation in Orthognathodontics (with honours, University of Bari), is certified in both Invisalign and Spark and is a FACEXP member; Dr. Massimo Ferrara brings over 30 years of experience in aesthetics, prosthetics and implantology with a Master's in Implant Surgery. Under one roof you'll find conscious sedation, GBT hygiene, intraoral scanning and 3D CBCT, with zero-interest financing up to 24 months and a 4.7 rating on Google.
Is the first visit demanding? What should I bring?
The first visit is a getting-to-know-you meeting: a full clinical examination and first advice, unhurried. Bring any X-rays or records of previous treatment if you have them.
How much do treatments cost? Is financing available?
Every care plan is personalised and transparent: we explain everything first, then you decide. We offer zero-interest financing up to 24 months.
Do you treat young children?
Yes, paediatric dentistry is one of our souls: Dr. Irene Ferrara looks after little ones with a playful approach in a child-sized environment. The Italian Ministry of Health guidelines on oral health in childhood recommend a first visit in the very first years of life: the earlier trust is built, the better.
I'm afraid of the dentist: can you help?
Absolutely. We offer conscious sedation, a safe technique that removes anxiety while keeping you alert: ideal for adults with dental phobia and anxious children.
Do you offer invisible braces?
Yes, Dr. Irene Ferrara is Invisalign and Spark certified. The journey starts with the case study: 3D scanning and a simulation of the result before you even begin.
Does dental hygiene hurt?
Not with the GBT method (Guided Biofilm Therapy): air polishing with ultra-fine powders, gentle on teeth and gums, suitable even for sensitive patients.
Where are you and how do I reach you?
We are in Bari at Via Palmieri 16, a stone's throw from Parco 2 Giugno, in a well-connected area.
Are X-rays safe?
We use low-exposure digital X-rays and 3D CBCT only when truly needed: maximum diagnostic information with the lowest possible dose.
Do you replace missing teeth?
Yes, with dental implants and custom prosthetics. Dr. Massimo Ferrara holds a Master's in Implant Surgery and has over 30 years of experience.
