Question 1

What makes DARC different from a standard dental clinic?

Accepted Answer

DARC focuses on comprehensive diagnosis and structured planning before treatment. Rather than treating isolated problems, we evaluate function, aesthetics, and long-term risks using digital tools and clinical protocols. This approach is particularly important for complex or aesthetic cases.

Question 2

Do all patients need a full digital assessment?

Accepted Answer

Not every treatment requires the same level of documentation. However, for new patients and complex cases, we strongly recommend a comprehensive assessment to understand the full clinical situation and plan appropriately.

Question 3

What is full-mouth rehabilitation?

Accepted Answer

Full-mouth rehabilitation involves restoring function, comfort, and aesthetics across the entire mouth. It is a structured process that includes diagnosis, planning, provisional restorations, validation, and final treatment. Not all patients need this level of care, but for complex cases it can be appropriate.

Question 4

Why do you use temporary restorations before final treatment?

Accepted Answer

Temporary restorations allow us to test function, comfort, and aesthetics in real-life conditions. This phase helps refine the treatment before anything final is placed and reduces uncertainty for both patient and clinician.

Question 5

Do you have an in-house dental laboratory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DARC works closely with an in-house digital laboratory. This allows for better communication, faster adjustments, and greater control over materials and quality.

Question 6

Are treatments at DARC painful?

Accepted Answer

We place strong emphasis on patient comfort. Treatments are performed in a calm, controlled environment, and procedures are explained clearly beforehand. Comfort measures are adapted to each individual situation.

Question 7

How long do treatments take?

Accepted Answer

Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Some treatments can be completed in a single visit, while others require multiple appointments over several weeks or months. Timelines are discussed in advance.

Question 8

Do you accept emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dental emergencies are assessed and treated appropriately. After emergency care, patients may be advised to schedule a full consultation if further treatment is needed.

Question 9

How are treatment costs handled?

Accepted Answer

For planned treatments, costs are discussed transparently before starting, and also shown on our pricing page. Complex treatments may be divided into phases with staged payments. Our team is available to explain this in detail.

Question 10

How often should I return for follow-up or hygiene visits?

Accepted Answer

Regular follow-up and professional hygiene are important for maintaining oral health and protecting dental work. For many patients, visits every three to six months are recommended, depending on individual needs.

Question 11

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Appointments can be requested by phone, email, or through our website. Our team will guide you
to the appropriate type of visit based on your needs.

Question 12

re treatments at DARC reimbursed in Belgium?

Accepted Answer

DARC is a non-conventioned dental clinic. This means our fees are not limited to the official convention tariffs set by the Belgian health insurance system. However, patients may still be eligible for partial reimbursement from their mutuality, depending on the type of treatment and their individual insurance coverage.

Reimbursement amounts are based on the official nomenclature and are paid directly to the patient. Our team can provide the necessary documentation and explain what may or may not be reimbursed in your specific situation.
