Dr. Marullo is a vacation saver! We recently took the vacation of a lifetime starting in the mountains east of Rome. After a day I started to have pain in my left cheek. By the time we got to Rome a few days, the pain was unbearable and the swelling nearly closed my eye. I thought it might be a sinus infection, which I am prone to get in the summertime, but after a round of antibiotics (that is a whole separate story!) and pain, it was clear it was something else. I spent a day researching dentists in Rome and the surrounding areas that spoke English and had availability. I first tried one that claimed to be in the area we were staying in (Piazza Navona) but after talking to the doctor, I did not feel comfortable going to him. My next call was to Dr. Marullo. She was busy, but was willing to see me quickly and assess the situation. She fit me in the next day! Without going into the details, it was clear from the X-ray that a root canal was necessary and could not wait. She rearranged her schedule and started immediately. No questions asked, she saw that we needed help or our vacation would be ruined. Dr. Marullo worked very long days to get me back on track, including making a temporary crown herself. My own dentist back here in the states took one look at here work and said that she did a fantastic job. She was also astonished the Dr. Marullo was able to do it all in such a short time. I was, and remain, most impressed by Dr. Marullo's kindness. She didn't have to put in 16 hour days to help people (I was not her only patient during this time, there were others in worse shape than me) but she did. Dr. Marullo was also very interesting to talk to! What a fascinating person. She treated my wife and young son as if they were old friends. Lest I forget, her assistant was equally dedicated and always pleasant. I cannot recommend Dr. Marullo enough. While I hope you never have to have a root canal in Italy at the beginning of a month long vacation, if you do, go see her. Now if I can only convince my insurance company that I need to go back to Rome to see my new dentist... read more

My implant had completely moved from its place during dinner and was causing me a whole lot of pain. We contacted the clinic, and informed them we had an emergency. The lovely assistant Vera told us the doctor will call us in 5 minutes as she was finishing up with a patient. We gave her the number we had purchased the same day, and hoped they will call back. An hour later, after we had completely lost hope, Dr. Nuri was on the phone, explaining that they were trying to reach us for an hour, but we had given them a wrong digit in the number!!! They went through the trouble of calling several mobile number providers to reach us! That was the first sign of how helpful this lovely team was going to be. We hop in a taxi, and 10 minutes later we are at the clinic being welcomed by the lovely Vera and her beautiful smile. Mind you it's 11:00PM!!! Turns out my emergency was way more serious than we thought and we ended up staying at the clinic for 3 hours after surgically removing the bolt that had broken in my jaw! Dr. Nuri was so patient and nice, and explained in detail every single thing she was doing. I had never met such a nice doctor in my life! Vera and herself were working since the morning non-stop yet gave me all the attention, time and patience in the world! They took their time to make sure our vacation isn't ruined, and gave me the best treatment I would hope for. Vera was even holding my hand for reassurance, and Dr. Nuri was beyond nice! She even called the next day to check up on me and make sure all was ok! The next day I wake up pain-free with zero swelling (this is really impressive after removing the implant's bolt that has been in my jaw bone for years!) I had never thought such service existed, and I am really glad that I was lucky enough to had called that number for my emergency, and had met those lovely ladies! If you have a dental problem call this clinic and don't even think twice, it is the place to go! Dr. Nuri and Vera saved my vacation! read more

TL;DR: Exceptional Emergency Dental Care in Rome - Highly Recommended for Travelers While visiting Rome with my mother on a vacation from Canada, we faced an unexpected dental emergency--my mother broke a tooth during breakfast on a weekend morning. As a doctor myself, I was naturally concerned about finding reliable and professional care, especially in a foreign country and on such short notice. I was hesitant to trust online reviews, as many clinics seemed overly advertised and it was hard to know who to rely on. To be perfectly honest, I did not know what to expect from Healthy Smile in Rome based on the website, and we took a chance by booking an appointment. This turned out to be a lucky decision. Dr. Marullo responded to our inquiry personally quickly, but she even came in, from home, to her office on a day off, to treat my mother early so we would not miss on our day of tourism. She went above and beyond and the level of professionalism, care, and expertise she showed was truly impressive. She showed a treated my mother quickly and with genuine compassion. Her skill and precision were remarkable. Even more surprising, her prices were better than other clinics we had contacted--despite their lower experience levels--and she ended up charging us even less than what was originally quoted, simply because the procedure was quicker than expected. Back in Canada, my mother had an appointment with our usual dentist, who told us he could not have worked better himself. Dr. Marullo turned what could have been a stressful and vacation-ruining situation into a smooth, positive experience. We were able to make our flight, enjoy the rest of our time in Rome, and return home without worry. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone--especially fellow travelers--who find themselves in need of emergency dental care in Rome. She's a rare professional who truly cares about her patients. read more

Very good service, care, knowlegde...! It was the first week of my Erasmus in Rome when the pain at my gum was at his worst. So I called dr. Nuri on a Saturday and I could visit her one hour after. She noticed that my gum of my lower front teeth had lowered a lot due to the fact that I had a lot of tartar around the wire that I received after I finished my orthodontic treatment. The only true solution was to remove the wire, since it is impossible to clean the teeth very well with this wire. My pain immediately disappeared after the removal of my wire and also the tartar. I received a nightguard instead to keep my teeth in place. Because my gum has to recover, I started a treatment that includes injections every week. This has already shown result and I am very happy that I followed her suggestions. I can avoid a surgery, which is never pleasant. My pain has completely disappeared, my teeth are staying in place and my gum is clearly recovering. I can only recommend this dentist because of her knowledge, kindness, availability and above all she speaks English very well, which is a huge plus when you are a foreigner. read more

Dr. Nuri deserves 10 Stars for her warm and professional care, immediate attention and high quality dentistry! I called at 10pm, expecting to leave a message about my dental emergency. But instead Dr. Nuri answered the phone, spoke with me in detail about my condition. She prescribed antibiotics on the spot, after a careful inquiry about my medical history. Dr. Nuri set up an appointment on the spot. She called the next day to check on my progress with the antibiotics. When I arrived at her office Dr. Nuri was gracious and professional, took x-rays, determined that a root canal was in order. However, as my insurance did not cover European visits, she recommended a partial or temporary root canal which was less expensive. I was out of pain and in good health for 20 days to complete my vacation. When I returned I completed the rest under my insurance. Her prices were very reasonable and her kindness and wonderful personality turned this disaster into a really cool experience. She even made me a little espresso at the end to dull the antiseptic taste in my mouth! read more

I cannot praise Nuri more highly. She's a true professional who not only loves her work, but treats it as an art. Having been born with a Cleft lip and palate, I have had dental work since I had teeth. Honestly, as a 23 year old woman I have never been satisfied with the work done on my teeth however I simply accepted that these are the teeth I'll ever have. When I visited Nuri I expected a quick fix on a chip in my tooth. However she spent a significant amount of time to give me the smile I've only ever dreamed of. She not only fixed all the issues that I have always been self conscious about, she made me feel at ease in her office. I felt like a friend rather than a client and I cannot thank her enough for that. I advise anyone who seeks dental treatment in Rome to look no further. Nuri is incredible: a professional, an artist, a friend. Thank you Nuri for making me smile with confidence for the first time in 23 years. read more

I belong to the amalgam generation, and during my stay in Italy a bit from a back molar suddenly fell out. At work I got the address to an emergency dental studio; Healthy Smile in Rome. I was warmly greeted by professional and outgoing dental assistant Vera Rey before Dr. Maria Nuri Marullo examined me and told me they could fix my problem. She discovered caries beneath the amalgam filling and several cracks in the tooth and recommended a dental crown procedure. They were very service-minded and made me feel at ease with no pain. When one of my appointments was delayed and I had to wait quite a while due to an emergency, I (and my husband) were invited out to dinner the same evening. I enjoyed going to the dentist and we had many laughs, and they also made me a nightguard. When in dental pain in Rome, I recommend them warmly! read more

I was on holiday in Rome and ended up with the most unbearable toothache, the dentists back in the uk have not been able to see me before going on holiday so I didn't think I'd be able to get treatment abroad with the difficulties I've had at home but I was wrong. Dr Nuri was a life saver, she was able to diagnose me and treat me in the same day, 2 emergency root canals. The relief was instant, the care was incredible and dr Nuri was beyond helpful to me and super welcoming to my partner who had to sit through nearly 5 hours of my treatment. I was scared of dentist because of how I have been treated back home but I have found a new hope for them thanks to dr Nuri and her team. So thank you dr Nuri read more

A+ English-speaking Dentist! Dr. Nuri saved our vacation in Italy! I cracked & chipped my front tooth on a piece of hard bread on our first night in Rome. My husband also was having unexpected jaw issues, where he couldn't chew or bite down, so we had a double dental emergency. Dr. Nuri answered her phone at 8:30pm and gave us directions to her office. I now have a perfect front tooth- and the best Italian souvenir to take back to California. Dr. Nuri did treatment on my husbands jaw, so he could enjoy all the delicious food in Italy. My husband also got fitted for a night guard, so he got a souvenir too! Dr. Nuri truly is a perfectionist and we couldn't be happier with her work. read more

Nos encontrábamos en nuestras vacaciones cuando mi esposo comenzó a presentar dolor en una muela hasta el punto que ya no podía dormir. Empezamos a buscar dentista de emergencia y nos encontramos con healthy smile in Rome. Le escribí a la Doctora a las 4:00 am, nos contestó inmediatamente y llamó para saber la gravedad de la muela. Nos atendió el mismo día y se pudo resolver el problema de la muela. Estamos muy agradecidos con el servicio y nos salvó de continuar disfrutando nuestras vacaciones. read more

Great English. I had an emergency root canal with a temp crown. Dr. Nuri is very capable and able to support both the financial and medical requirements of someone like myself traveling from abroad (from USA). Nice office with top rate technology. Friendly staff all very comfortable at work. Dr. Nuri and her asst. worked late night on a weekend and saved our holiday. We felt fortunate to have connected with her and very strongly recommend her practice. Best review I can give. read more

I had terrible tooth pain and visted Healthy Smile in Rome at 1am. Dr Maria Niro Marullo, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and polite which made me experience fantastic. She performed an emergency first stage Root Canal to drain an abscess that has been causing me pain and provided fantastic aftercare to ensure I was well. On top of this she also recommended many places to visit during our stay which we have taken on board. Thank you Dr Maria from the sunny English man :) read more

Thank you! I had the best experience under circumstances where I wasn't at home traveling and having a cracked tooth. I was treated with care, kindness and professionalism and I also might've made a friend. We share also the love of animals so we made fast friends. If you're in a pinch or you have an emergency, this is the best dentist you can find in Rome whether you're on vacation or you live here. Thank you so much. read more

Dr. Nuri is very kind and helpful. I had trouble with my braces so I couldnt eat food, and she helped me out. She also explained how braces are actually not nessecary to solve my dental issue. So - now I'm going back to Denmark looking for dentists doing "dentofacial orthopetics" instead of "orthodontics". This would mean that I do not need metal braces fastened om my teeth. read more

Fantastic Experience with Maria and Paulo. My wife chipped her composite bond previous night during dinner, called Healthy Smile next morning and was not only fixed but improved on the work done by previous dentist in Ireland. In and out before lunch time and they were very friendly and professional throughout. Got some great tips about the city also. Highly recommend read more

I lost a crown on my molar during a flight to Rome and my travel insurance gave me Dr Maria Nuri Marullo's contact details, as an emergency dentist in Rome. She was lovely, she learned all about me before reaffixing the crown to the tooth and advising me that it should be replaced as soon as possible after returning home. A really caring and humane professional. read more
