Cyfrowe odciski wykonane skanerem Cerec Omnicam w Portal do Sorriso

Portal do Sorriso is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in São Paulo's Pinheiros neighborhood. Dr. Eliana Akemi Miadaira founded it in 2002. The facility covers everything from preventive care to complex rehabilitation. Treatment planning relies on digital technology to improve predictability and patient comfort.

Achievements and Patient Statistics

Over its 22-year history, the clinic has treated about 20,000 patients per year. It holds TEMOS accreditation, which confirms adherence to international dental care standards. The team includes over 20 specialist dentists. Many hold Master's and PhD degrees from top Brazilian institutions like USP and Unicamp.

Dental Specialties and Methods

The facility offers a wide range of dental services:

• Dental Implantology: Surgeons place conventional and zygomatic implants. Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone, so they work for patients with severe bone loss.
• Orthodontics: As an Invisalign provider, the clinic uses clear aligners with 3D digital monitoring for teeth straightening.
• Periodontics: Specialists treat gum disease, chronic bad breath, and tooth mobility through deep cleaning and root planing.
• Aesthetic Dentistry: Services include Emax veneers and laser teeth whitening.
• Oral Surgery: The team handles complex cases like wisdom tooth extractions and apicoectomies.

Implants need 3 to 6 months for the bone to fuse with the device. Most surgery patients return to light activities within 48 to 72 hours.

Advanced Technologies and Safety Protocols

Portal do Sorriso follows the Smile Clinic Protocol for treatment accuracy. The clinic uses intraoral 3D scanning with the Cerec Omnicam to create digital impressions – no traditional molds needed. For implant planning, specialists combine 3D software with CT scans to design surgical guides. This allows guided, small-incision surgery.

Several options help manage patient comfort:

• Computerized anesthesia: Delivers local numbing with precise pressure, which reduces injection pain.
• Intravenous sedation: Specialized teams administer this for long procedures or patients with dental phobia.
• Nitrous oxide: Provides conscious sedation to help patients stay relaxed.
• Laser therapy: Used for aesthetic whitening and surgical procedures to speed healing.

Digital smile design (DSD) software shows patients their expected results before treatment begins.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers a Day Clinic model to complete complex treatments in a single day when possible. Patients traveling from outside Brazil can schedule online consultations before arrival. These virtual sessions last about 30 minutes and can be combined with email or phone follow-up.

English-speaking doctors and assistants support foreign patients throughout their visit. A concierge dentist service helps coordinate care and remote follow-up. The Pinheiros location has air-conditioned treatment rooms, on-site parking, and Wi-Fi access.
