English-Speaking Dentist in Porto Seguro, BA & Arraial d'Ajuda

A dental problem far from home is stressful enough without a language barrier. We treat visitors in English, Portuguese and Spanish, with no prior registration and same-day appointments for pain.

What we can help you with

  • Dental emergencies

    Severe toothache, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings and crowns. Same-day care whenever possible.

  • Root canal treatment

    Performed in one to three visits depending on the tooth, using rotary instrumentation and rubber dam isolation.

  • Fillings and restorations

    Tooth-coloured composite restorations, usually completed in a single appointment.

  • Teeth whitening

    In-office laser whitening with visible results in one to three sessions — practical within a short stay.

  • Porcelain veneers

    Possible within a stay of about two weeks. Contact us before you travel so we can reserve the lab time.

  • Botox and facial harmonisation

    Applied by a dental surgeon qualified in orofacial harmonisation.

    We issue a detailed report and receipt describing every procedure, in the format insurers usually require for reimbursement. Check with your provider which documents they need.

Two locations — choose the right side of the river

Porto Seguro and Arraial d'Ajuda are separated by a river crossed by a car ferry. In high season the crossing can take over an hour, so pick the clinic on the side where you are staying.

Staying in Arraial d'Ajuda, Trancoso or the southern beaches? Come to our Arraial d'Ajuda clinic — Rua Manoel Alves dos Santos, 17, Centro. Staying in Porto Seguro's historic centre, near Passarela do Álcool, or on the northern beaches (Taperapuã, Mundaí, Coroa Vermelha)? Come to our Porto Seguro clinic — Rua Cidade de Fafi, 151, Centro.

Before you come: what to do right now

For severe pain, take the painkiller you normally tolerate and keep your head elevated, including when sleeping. Do not apply heat to your face, and never place a crushed tablet against the gum — it burns the tissue.

For a knocked-out permanent tooth, handle it by the crown, never the root. Rinse briefly in milk or saline without scrubbing, and either place it back in the socket or transport it in milk. Reimplantation within the first hour has a genuine chance of success.

For facial swelling with fever or difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek immediate care — this is an emergency, not something to postpone until tomorrow.
