How to choose a dental clinic in Dnipro: what to look at before your first visit
At Houston dentistry, we're convinced quality treatment starts with the right approach. Each area is handled by specialist dentists, and a comprehensive approach combines precise diagnostics, effective treatment and a lasting result. But this is a general principle worth checking not just at our clinic, but at any clinic you're considering — which is why, further on, we talk not only about ourselves, but about the criteria worth applying to any dental practice in the city.
How to choose a dental clinic in Dnipro
When choosing a dental clinic, look at the things you can verify yourself rather than at promises. Does a dedicated specialist lead each area of treatment, or does one dentist do everything? Does the clinic have its own diagnostics, including 3D CT, or will you have to travel elsewhere for a scan and lose time? Do you receive a written treatment plan with prices before treatment begins, or are the figures quoted as you go? Can you check real patient reviews, not just claims on a website? Is it easy to get an appointment, and is there a fallback if something urgent comes up? These criteria are universal, and they are exactly what we built the Houston clinic around from its founding in 2023 — in Dnipro, at 13 Vykonkomivska St., next to CASCADE Plaza.
Below is a detailed look at each of these points: the team, the approach to complex cases, diagnostics, service, prices and location. This isn't a promotional "about our advantages" text, but a description of how the clinic's work is organised, so you can compare these criteria with any other dental practice you're considering.
The people you'll be working with
What matters most to us is people. The team that's with patients every day, and an atmosphere where people want both to work and to be treated. We value everyone on our team — from dentists to administrators — because it's people, not equipment, who create the experience that makes patients come back and recommend us to others.
The clinic is managed by Karyna Balinska, while day-to-day order at appointments is kept by senior dental assistant Mariia Horiana and senior nurse Larysa Serhieieva. This is the part of the team a patient sees less often than the dentist, but it's exactly what determines how organised and calm the visit feels — from booking to the moment you leave the room. The administrators make sure bookings don't get muddled, the treatment plan doesn't get lost between visits, and questions by phone or through the Telegram bot don't go unanswered.
We deliberately don't build our work around a single "star" dentist that people book months in advance to see. Instead, a separate specialist leads each area, and the administrative team makes sure a patient can get an appointment within a reasonable time — both for a routine matter and when acute pain is the issue.
A team of specialists
We don't have "universal" dentists for every case — each one runs their own area and continually develops their skills in it. Dmytro Kobozіev is the Head dentist, a general dentist with over 13 years of experience: endodontics, implant placement, prosthodontics, complex clinical cases. Anna Vasylenko is Deputy head dentist, a periodontist with over 20 years of experience: hygiene and gum treatment. Iryna Biletska is a general dentist with over 8 years of experience. Oleksandr Denysenko is an oral surgeon with over 4 years of experience, implantology. Oleksii Sydorenko is a prosthodontist: prosthetics. Kseniia Tretiak and Anastasiia Honcharuk are orthodontists: braces and aligners, children and adults.
When the clinic has two orthodontists rather than one, it's easier to get an appointment at a convenient time and, if needed, get a second opinion within the same team. The same applies to other specialities: if a case is complex, the dentist doesn't decide alone but checks in with a colleague from a different field.
A dentist's experience matters, but it isn't the only guide. Just as important is how clearly they explain the diagnosis and treatment options in plain language, whether they give you time to think over a decision, and whether they coordinate the plan with other specialists when a case touches several areas at once. This is the approach we try to maintain at every appointment, regardless of which member of the team is treating the patient.
A comprehensive approach to treatment
Complex cases are managed by several specialists together: the surgeon, prosthodontist, orthodontist and general dentist agree on the plan so the result is predictable and lasting. For example, before implant placement the general dentist checks the condition of neighbouring teeth and gums, the surgeon assesses bone volume from 3D CT, and the prosthodontist plans the future crown in advance — so all the stages align with each other rather than being decided separately. Likewise, if a patient needs both braces and gum treatment, the orthodontist and periodontist agree on the sequence: the inflammation is cleared first, and only then are the teeth moved.
After the first consultation, the patient receives a clear, step-by-step plan — what needs doing, in what order and at what cost. This applies both to treating a single tooth and to multi-stage cases involving prosthetics or orthodontics. The plan can be taken home to think over, with no pressure to decide "right now".
This approach matters especially when a patient has put off treatment for a long time and several problems have built up at once: decay, gum inflammation, missing teeth. In such cases the plan is broken into stages with realistic timelines and priorities — what needs doing urgently, and what can be spread over several months on a planned basis, including with instalments.
Modern equipment and in-house diagnostics
Precise diagnostics is the foundation of correct treatment, which is why at Houston clinic part of the procedures are carried out under a microscope, and hygiene follows the protocol GBT by EMS, which gently removes plaque with no metal instruments on healthy enamel. A microscope is especially important in endodontics: under high magnification, the dentist sees the root canals far more precisely than with the naked eye, which affects the quality of pulpitis treatment and retreatment.
Our diagnostic centre, Houston 3D, operates separately at 3B Mykhaila Hrushevskoho Street: a Planmeca ProMax 3D scanner with precision of up to 75 microns, CT of both jaws — UAH 1,290, a panoramic X-ray — UAH 390, radiation dose 10–15 μSv, no referral needed. Scans are kept in the archive from 2022, so the dentist can always compare progress over time — for example, seeing how the bone around an implant has changed over several years, or assessing progress in orthodontic treatment. Discounts apply: 50% for military personnel and people with a war-related disability, 10% for internally displaced persons. Read more about why a dental CT scan is needed, we cover separately.
In-house diagnostics isn't just about accuracy, it's also about time: there's no need to travel to another clinic, wait days for results and bring a disc or printout to the appointment. The scan and the dentist's consultation happen within a single visit, on the same day.
What to look at when choosing
A specialist dentist for every area, in-house 3D CT, a written treatment plan with prices before work begins, verifiable reviews.
What's worth clarifying in advance
Whether instalments are available, what warranty applies to the work, how quickly you can get an appointment, and whether visits are rescheduled without loss during an air raid alert.
Service and care for the patient
For us, what matters isn't just the result but the experience of the visit: attentive care, a comfortable atmosphere and honest communication without pushing unnecessary procedures. We want a visit to the dentist to stop being stressful — for adult patients and for children coming in for their first check-up alike.
You can book an appointment via the website or the Telegram bot @houston_ai_care_bot. The bot reminds you about routine hygiene and check-up X-rays so important visits don't get lost among other things, and it also awards cashback bonuses for visits. This is convenient precisely because you don't need to remember anything yourself — book a check-up once, and you'll be reminded about the next one in good time.
Comfort starts with small things: a clear explanation of what's happening at the appointment, an honest answer to "can I wait with treatment", and respect for the patient's decision, even when it doesn't match the dentist's recommendation. Pressure and pushing are what patients tend to fear most in dentistry, and that's exactly what we deliberately avoid.
Transparent prices and instalments
We combine a premium level of dentistry with prices that stay at the average level for Dnipro. Transparent prices with no hidden fees — everything is fixed in advance in the treatment plan, and the amount in the plan doesn't change during treatment without a separate conversation with the patient. As a guide: a consultation with a specialist dentist — UAH 690, with the head dentist — UAH 1,500; treating decay — UAH 2,350–3,900; pulpitis — from UAH 7,100; GBT hygiene — from UAH 3,100, GBT Light — from UAH 2,300; braces — from UAH 15,900 per jaw, aligners — from UAH 99,000; a zirconia crown — from UAH 7,200; a Megagen ST implant — UAH 12,500, Straumann NeoDent — UAH 21,000; tooth extraction — UAH 2,100–3,650.
For larger treatment plans, instalments are available through Monobank, up to 24 payments with no extra charge from the clinic — this applies in particular to orthodontic treatment and implant placement, where the total amount is made up of several stages. Implant placement is covered by a 100% warranty — we discuss its terms honestly before treatment begins, not after. To compare orthodontic methods and when to choose which, see the article about braces or aligners.
The "from" price on the price list is a starting point for the simplest case, not the final amount. The real cost depends on complexity: for example, deep decay takes longer and costs more to treat than surface decay, and a crown on a front tooth requires more precise shade matching than one on a back tooth. That's why we only give the final figure after an examination, not "by eye" over the phone.
Where we are and how to book
Houston clinic is located at 13 Vykonkomivska Street, near CASCADE Plaza, in Dnipro. Hours: Mon–Sat 9:00–19:00, Sun 10:00–18:00; the clinic is open every day, with no days off, which is convenient if you need an appointment on a weekend or after work. Booking phone — 067 478 88 78. The Houston 3D diagnostic centre is located separately, at 3B Mykhaila Hrushevskoho Street, tel. 067 478 87 78, website houston.dp.ua.
Since the clinic was founded in 2023 it has earned a rating of 4.6 from 138 Google reviews — an open score anyone can check, and we treat it as a working benchmark rather than a formality. It is worth reading other people's reviews carefully: look not only at the average score but at whether the clinic replies to negative reviews, and how.
Safety during air raid alerts
In case of serious danger we move to an enclosed windowless room inside the clinic — an administrator stays with patients. We don't start a new stage of treatment during an alert: if the siren catches you at an appointment, the visit is rescheduled with no loss of any prepayment. This applies both to one-off procedures and to multi-stage treatment — the plan doesn't "reset" because of the rescheduling, it continues from the stage where it was paused.
For patients worried about the possibility of an alert during their appointment: whether to continue treatment or reschedule is agreed with the dentist on the spot, taking into account the specific procedure and how safely it can be interrupted.
Premium quality at affordable prices
To sum up: when choosing a dental clinic in Dnipro, look at whether the dentists are specialists in their fields, whether the clinic has its own diagnostics, whether prices are transparent and whether you leave with a treatment plan in hand — rather than at advertising promises or photographs of the interior. We built the Houston clinic around exactly these criteria from its founding in 2023, and we are happy to have them tested — at a consultation, through reviews, or simply with a phone call and your questions.
For us, "premium quality at accessible prices" doesn't mean the cheapest treatment, or the most expensive — it means diagnostics, materials and the dentist's qualifications match the complexity of the case, and the price neither hides nor inflates that. This is the standard we hold for every patient, whether they've come in for a routine check-up or multi-stage treatment.

Booking phone — 067 478 88 78. Separately, at 3B Mykhaila Hrushevskoho Street, is the Houston 3D diagnostic centre with its own 3D CT scanner.
How do I book?
The most convenient way is via the clinic's website or the Telegram bot @houston_ai_care_bot: it accepts requests at any time of day, reminds you about routine hygiene and check-up X-rays itself, and awards cashback bonuses for visits. You can also call 067 478 88 78 during the clinic's working hours and book directly with an administrator.
Do you have your own CT scanner?
Yes. Operating separately from the main clinic is the Houston 3D diagnostic centre at 3B Mykhaila Hrushevskoho Street, with a Planmeca ProMax 3D scanner and precision of up to 75 microns. CT of both jaws costs UAH 1,290, a panoramic X-ray — UAH 390, no referral needed. The scan and subsequent treatment can be combined in one place, with no repeat imaging elsewhere.
How many years has the clinic been operating?
The clinic was founded in 2023. It is young, and we do not hide that: the experience treatment rests on is the years the dentists themselves have practised, not the age of the sign above the door. The 4.6 rating from 138 Google reviews has been earned in that time — an open score anyone can verify for themselves, rather than a figure a clinic publishes about itself on its own website with no way to check it.
Can I get a treatment plan with prices in advance?
Yes, this is standard clinic practice. After the first consultation you receive a written, step-by-step plan — what needs doing, in what order and at what approximate cost. The plan can be taken home to think over, with no pressure to agree on the spot. The final amount for each stage is fixed before treatment begins.
How much does a consultation cost?
A consultation with a specialist dentist costs UAH 690, a consultation with the head dentist — UAH 1,500. The exact list of services included in the appointment depends on the complaint: sometimes the consultation includes an examination and treatment plan, sometimes an X-ray is also needed. The administrator confirms details when booking, or the dentist does at the appointment.
Are instalments available for treatment?
Yes, for larger treatment plans — for example, multi-stage orthodontic treatment or implant placement — instalments are available through Monobank, up to 24 payments. This lets you spread the amount over time rather than pay it all at once. Instalment terms are discussed at the consultation together with the overall treatment plan and its cost.
How many dentists work at the clinic, and is there narrow specialisation?
The clinic's team includes specialist dentists for each area: general dentistry, surgery, periodontology, prosthodontics and orthodontics, where two orthodontists work at once. Each dentist runs their own area and continually develops their skills specifically in it, rather than taking on every kind of case. In complex cases, several specialists agree on the treatment plan together.
What to do if an air raid alert sounds during your appointment?
In case of serious danger we move to an enclosed windowless room inside the clinic — an administrator stays with patients. A new stage of treatment isn't started at such times: if the siren catches you at an appointment, the visit is rescheduled with no loss of any prepayment. This applies both to one-off procedures and to multi-stage treatment — the plan continues from the same point.
