Frequently asked questions

Yes, new patients are very welcome at Loef Mondzorg. Don’t have a dentist in Rotterdam yet, or would you like to switch to another practice? Then you can easily register with us online.

You can sign up via the registration form at the bottom of the page. Once we have received your registration, we will contact you by phone to schedule an intake and discuss your wishes and expectations.

After you register, we often call you within a week to schedule your intake. According to our current planning, there are no specific periods in which this structurally takes longer or shorter.

Bring a valid ID and relevant medical information to your first visit. Do you take medication? Then we would appreciate it if you also bring a current medication list, if available. That way we have the information that may be important for safe treatment.

Before your first visit we contact you to discuss your wishes and expectations. During the intake we carefully examine your teeth and oral health. Where necessary, we take X-rays to also assess parts of the teeth that are not visible from the outside.

We then clearly explain what we see and which options there are. If treatment is needed, we discuss the next steps together. For larger treatments we schedule a separate appointment and go through the expected costs with you in advance.

At Loef Mondzorg you can come to us for general, cosmetic and specialist dentistry. Think of periodic check-ups, fillings, implants, veneers, teeth whitening, dentures, root canal treatments, tooth extractions, orthodontics and Invisalign, among others.

You can also come to us for dental hygiene and preventive oral care. If specialist care is needed that we do not offer ourselves, for example from an oral surgeon or periodontist, we can refer you to a suitable specialist in the Rotterdam region.

General dentistry includes the regular care needed to keep your teeth healthy. Think of periodic check-ups, treating cavities with fillings, dental repairs, oral examinations and preventive treatments. By having your teeth checked regularly, we can detect and treat problems early, before they get bigger.

In digital dentistry we use modern technology when examining, planning and carrying out treatments. For example, we work with digital scans, digital X-rays, 3D imaging and digital treatment planning. This allows us to image your teeth accurately and explain treatment options more clearly. For you, this can mean more insight, fewer traditional impressions and a more comfortable and predictable treatment.

With an intraoral scanner we quickly create a digital 3D model of your teeth and molars. We move a small scanner along your teeth, after which the individual images are immediately combined. A digital scan is more comfortable than a traditional impression with impression material, and the result can be viewed straight away and used in further treatment planning.

In addition to healthy, well-functioning teeth, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile. Do you have discoloured, damaged or crooked teeth, for example? Then treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers or orthodontics may be an option. We always look together with you at what suits your teeth and wishes.

For certain cosmetic and restorative treatments we use digital tools to make treatment options visually clear. This gives you a better picture of the possibilities in advance, and we can discuss more clearly what suits your teeth and wishes.

Yes. At Loef Mondzorg we offer general oral care to both adults and children. With young patients we pay a lot of attention to a calm introduction to the dentist and to prevention, so they learn early on how to keep their teeth healthy.

A dental emergency is an acute complaint that cannot wait for a regular appointment. Think of severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth after an accident, post-operative bleeding after a tooth or molar extraction, or a swollen cheek due to an infection.

Not sure whether your complaint is urgent? Contact us by phone (010 200 4815). We can then assess the situation and tell you what is best to do.

With acute complaints, we try to help you as quickly as possible, and you can often be seen at Loef Mondzorg the same day. This also applies if you are not yet registered as a patient with us. In an emergency, always call our practice first (010 200 4815), so we can assess your complaint and let you know when you can come in.
