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.

Travel insurance
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.
Records to take home
You leave with digital X-rays and a written report so your dentist at home can continue treatment without repeating exams.

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.

Para Turistas
Porto Seguro recebe visitantes o ano inteiro, e problema de dente em viagem tem um agravante: você está longe do seu dentista, não conhece ninguém e tem dias contados. Atendemos visitantes sem cadastro prévio, com atendimento em português, inglês e espanhol.
Ver páginaUrgência 24h
Dor de dente não escolhe horário — e piora justamente à noite, quando você deita e a pressão dentro do dente aumenta. Atendemos urgência e emergência odontológica nas duas unidades, inclusive fora do horário comercial e para quem está de passagem pela região.
Ver páginaLente de Contato Dental
Lente de contato dental é a lâmina de porcelana mais fina da odontologia estética — entre 0,2 e 0,5 mm — colada à frente do dente para corrigir cor, forma, tamanho e pequenos desalinhamentos. Bem indicada, transforma um sorriso. Mal indicada, destrói dente saudável de forma irreversível.
