House Call Dentistry in Italy for House-bound Patients
English-speaking dentists who come to the bedside of people who cannot get to a dental practice — the frail elderly, patients living with dementia or disability, anyone confined to bed or recovering from surgery. If you are able to travel to a clinic, this is not the service for you: a home visit can only offer a limited range of treatment.
Fees shown before you book. No account needed.
How It Works
Check that a home visit is the right choice
This service exists for people who physically cannot attend a dental practice. If you can travel, a practice will always be able to do more than a dentist working at your bedside — in that case, a video consultation with one of our English-speaking dentists is the better way to get advice.
Book the first home consultation
Every case begins with an examination visit. Press Choose & Book, enter the patient’s address and choose the dentist: the first visit assesses teeth, gums and mucosa and, crucially, whether treatment can be carried out safely at home.
Treatment planned around the patient
After the examination the dentist agrees a plan with you and the family: hygiene and scaling, denture relining or repair, fillings or extractions where feasible. Anything that cannot be done safely at home is organised at a partner clinic, still under the same dentist.
The first appointment is usually arranged within 48–72 hours and can take place at home, in a care home, in a residential or therapeutic community, or on a hospital ward. Every fee is displayed before you book — and if the patient’s address is not yet covered, an online dentist offers a quick, qualified opinion in English.

Why Book Through Medelit
We know that, for some people, leaving home for dental care is not merely inconvenient but genuinely impossible. That is why every dentist who visits patients with Medelit is a qualified professional with long experience, able to manage even complex situations safely and independently at the bedside — and, like all our clinicians, reference-checked, interviewed by our managing doctors and insured.
Built for people who cannot leave home
Physical or psychiatric conditions can make reaching a dental practice a real ordeal — logistically and for the patient. We treat at home, in care homes and in hospital beds.
Honest about the limits
Home dentistry covers examination, hygiene, dentures, fillings and simple extractions. Treatment that needs a dental chair, X-rays or a surgical setting belongs in a clinic — and we will tell you so.
A plan before any treatment
The first visit establishes what can be done safely at home, what preparation is needed — pausing anticoagulants, for instance — and which materials the dentist must bring.
Continuity with a clinic
Our dentists also practise in dental clinics. When a case outgrows the home setting, transfer to a partner clinic is organised — and the patient keeps the same Medelit dentist.
Familiar surroundings, less distress
For patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s in particular, being treated where they live — with family or carers present — means less anxiety and no disruption to their routine.
Paperwork your insurer accepts
Each visit is documented with a regular dental healthcare invoice, ready for private or long-term-care insurance claims.

People who cannot get to a dental practice: the frail elderly, patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s, people with a physical or psychiatric disability, those confined to bed after surgery or illness, and residents of care homes and therapeutic communities. It is a service for the house-bound, not a convenience for the mobile.
No — and we say so deliberately. Home dentistry is more limited than what a fully equipped practice can do, so booking a house call just because the dentist speaks English would give you a poorer service than you deserve. If you can travel, book an online dental consultation instead: an English-speaking dentist assesses the problem, tells you what it needs and how to find the right care in Italy.
Yes. Enter their Italian address in the booking system, choose the dentist, and our English-speaking operations team coordinates the rest with the family or carers on site — including access to a care home or hospital. You receive the findings and the treatment plan in English, wherever you are.
Dental examination and assessment, full scaling and oral hygiene, relining and repair of removable dentures, fillings, and extractions or additions where the first visit has confirmed they are feasible at the bedside. Treatment that requires a dental chair, X-rays or surgical facilities is referred to a partner clinic.
Because at home the dentist must judge, before anything else, what the problems are, whether the whole procedure can be carried out safely in that setting, what preparation the patient needs — suspending anticoagulant medication, for example — and which instruments and materials to bring to the next visit.
The first visit is generally arranged within 48–72 hours of booking. Visits take place at home, in care homes and residential facilities, in therapeutic communities and on hospital wards.
A first dental home consultation starts from € 110; the exact fee for the patient’s address is shown before you book. Everything that follows — hygiene, dentures, fillings, extractions — is quoted individually in the treatment plan after that first visit.
The dentist organises the transfer to a partner dental clinic, where the patient can ask to continue being followed by the same Medelit dentist who examined them at home.
With Medelit, you can check availability and fees at your address directly on our website. Simply enter your address, choose your preferred clinician based on their profile, qualifications and fees, and book online. No membership required. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
Fees vary by clinician and specialisation. With Medelit, each clinician sets their own fees, which are fully transparent when you check availability — so you can choose based on both expertise and cost. There are no hidden fees or membership charges.
A home visit is ideal when you have mobility issues, are caring for a child or a relative, are too unwell to travel, need attention outside surgery hours, are travelling or new to Italy, or simply prefer the privacy and comfort of home or your hotel.
Every Medelit clinician is fully registered with the relevant Italian professional body, holds professional indemnity insurance, and has been individually vetted through background checks, reference verification, and interviews with our medical directors. All speak English.
Absolutely. When you check availability, you can view each clinician's profile, qualifications, specialisations and fees. For follow-ups, you can request the same clinician for continuity of care.
Medelit often has same-day availability. In many cases, a clinician can visit within a few hours. Weekend and bank holiday appointments are also available. For medical emergencies, always call 112.
Medelit is available in Italy’s major cities and many surrounding areas. Enter your address to check availability where you are staying.
Yes. Medelit clinicians visit wherever you need them — your home, hotel room, office or workplace. This is particularly valued by travellers, expats and companies requiring on-site services.
You receive a comprehensive report in English. Your Medelit clinician can coordinate follow-up care, referrals, and any additional services needed — all organised through Medelit.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with any Medelit clinician. If you have a letter from your own doctor, our practitioners are happy to take it into account.
