Accreditations and Achievements

Dental Specialties and Methods
The clinic organizes care into several specialized departments. Each one uses specific methods to address complex restorative and aesthetic needs.
Orthodontics and Clear Aligners
Prime Dente specializes in discreet orthodontic solutions. The clinic uses Invisalign clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal braces. Doctors create a digital plan for each case. Treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months. Patients wear the aligners 20–22 hours per day to stay on track. The clinic also treats children under its Odontopediatria unit.
Dental Implantology and Prosthetics
The implantology team restores chewing function and smile aesthetics. Surgeons use titanium posts to replace lost tooth roots. The clinic offers several prosthetic options:
- Prótese Protocolo – a fixed prosthesis installed over multiple dental implants
- Implant-supported metal-ceramic crowns
- Complete dental dentures
- Individual dental implant placement
Every prosthetic treatment starts with an initial evaluation. Dentists perform a clinical exam to confirm the plan is viable and safe. Long-term maintenance helps the implants last.
Periodontics and Gum Health
The periodontics department treats diseases affecting the tissues that support teeth. Specialists manage conditions from mild inflammation to deep periodontal pockets. Common treatments include:
- Plaque and tartar removal above and below the gum line
- Deep root cleaning and bacteria removal
- Gum recession treatment to cover exposed roots
- Regenerative periodontal surgeries
Follow-up programs typically last three months to monitor inflammation. Regular check-ups help prevent biofilm from building up again.
Advanced Diagnostic Technologies
Prime Dente uses digital tools in daily practice. These technologies let patients take part in their own treatment planning. Key equipment includes:
- iTero digital scanner – creates 3D visualizations of orthodontic results before treatment starts
- In-clinic Panoramic X-ray – provides immediate imaging for same-day diagnostic discussions
- High-resolution screens – show patients their diagnostic information in real time
- Neodent Professional implants – feature advanced surface technology for better integration
On-site imaging speeds up the diagnostic phase. Patients can discuss options with specialists right after the scan.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients, including visitors from Colombia. Specialists provide consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Staff manage appointment coordination and offer guidance through digital messaging platforms. Prime Dente is a private facility and does not accept health insurance plans.
