Well Clinic Odontologia

Well Clinic Odontologia is a private multi-specialty dental clinic founded in 1999. It sits in the Jardim Paulista neighborhood of São Paulo. The clinic is built on a 170-year legacy of six generations of dentists from the Coachman family.

Recognitions and Global Influence

The clinic is the birthplace of Digital Smile Design (DSD). Dr. Christian Coachman created this digital smile planning protocol here. More than 80 countries now use this methodology for dental rehabilitation. The Coachman family appears in the Guinness Book as the largest family of dentists on the planet.

The facility partners with the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of Ceará. CEO Dr. Jacqueline Schneider leads technical direction. The clinic holds registration with the Regional Council of Dentistry (CRO 11212/SP). Specialists discuss cases together rather than making isolated decisions.

Main Medical Specializations

Dental care begins with a two-hour systemic first consultation. Specialists evaluate medical history, sleep patterns, energy levels, and silent inflammation before addressing the mouth. This approach helps oral treatments support the patient's overall health.

Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry

The clinic uses DSD to plan porcelain veneers and full arch rehabilitations. Patients try on a 3D reversible mock-up before any permanent work begins. Production happens on-site at the Well Lab.

• Porcelain and no-prep veneers
• Laser teeth whitening
• Root canal treatment using microscopes
• Minimal-prep restorative techniques

Implantology and Oral Surgery

Implant planning includes a systemic evaluation to optimize bone healing. The clinic offers All-on-4 dental implants – a fixed full-arch prosthesis using four pins. Digital guidance improves precision during these procedures.

• Immediate implant loading assessed case-by-case
• Straumann dental implant systems
• Zygomatic implants for complex bone loss
• Bone grafting and surgical extractions

Orthodontics and Jaw Surgery

Dr. Fabiane Pulga is an official Invisalign Speaker and holds the Top Doctor Emerald distinction. The clinic uses Invisalign for both standard alignment and pre-surgical preparation. Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw imbalances that affect breathing or cause sleep apnea.

Dr. Octavio Cintra leads orthognathic cases using 100% digital planning. Patients see a 3D visualization of the results before surgery begins. This department treats moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea caused by bone structure issues.

Specialized Centers and Technology

Well Lab is the clinic's in-house digital laboratory. It runs an end-to-end CAD/CAM workflow for on-site production of prosthetics and surgical guides. The lab connects to the DSD Center in Madrid to maintain standardized global protocols.

Diagnostics rely on high-resolution imaging and scanning tools:

• Cerec Omnicam for intraoral scanning and digital diagnostic models
• DIAGNOCam for early caries detection without radiation
• Electronic axiography to record jaw movements and bite alignment
• Periapical and panoramic X-ray systems

For patients with dental anxiety, the clinic provides conscious sedation. Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a nasal mask, keeping patients calm but awake. Every sedation session requires a prior evaluation.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats international patients with dedicated support. Assistance is available in English and Portuguese from the initial inquiry through the final treatment plan. Specialists provide written plans with steps and timeframes. Pediatric cases go through the Well Kids program led by Dra. Livia Nazareth.
