Crowns, porcelain veneers

Several visits for design, preparation, try-in and bonding; often around two to three weeks.

Implants, full-arch prosthesis

Usually two trips: surgery first, and the final prosthesis after a few months of healing.

General ranges for planning only. Your actual schedule depends on your individual evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dr. Paulo speak English?

Yes. Dr. Paulo Augusto Batista Lopes provides consultations in English, so you can discuss your diagnosis, treatment options and each step of care directly with the dentist responsible for your case. Written messages on WhatsApp can also be exchanged in English before and after your visit, which helps with planning and with follow-up once you return home.

Can I get an online evaluation before traveling to Recife?

Yes, as a first step. You can send photos of your smile, recent X-rays or CT scans and a short description of your goals via WhatsApp. This preliminary review helps estimate which treatments may be suitable and how many visits may be needed. A final treatment plan is only confirmed after an in-person clinical examination at the clinic.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the treatment. Whitening or composite veneers may need only a few appointments over several days. Crowns and porcelain veneers usually need several visits, including design, preparation, try-in and bonding. Implants generally require two trips, because the bone needs a few months to integrate before the final teeth are placed. The schedule is individual.

How long should I plan to stay in Recife?

As a general range, simpler aesthetic treatments may fit into one to two weeks, while crowns or veneers often need around two to three weeks. Implant treatments usually involve a first stay for surgery and a second trip months later for the final prosthesis. These are general ranges; your stay is defined after the online review and evaluation.

Where is the clinic located?

Rideto Odontologia e Estética has a single location at Av. Eng. Domingos Ferreira, 170, in Pina/Boa Viagem, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, close to Boa Viagem beach. You can open the official Google Maps profile from this page to plan your route and accommodation.

Can I get dental implants and teeth on the same trip?

Sometimes a fixed provisional can be placed shortly after implant surgery, when criteria such as implant stability, bone quality and absence of infection are met. This is confirmed during planning and surgery, never promised in advance. The final prosthesis is usually placed after the implants integrate with the bone, which normally means a second trip.

What happens if I need follow-up after I return home?

Before you leave, you receive written care instructions and a maintenance plan. The team remains available on WhatsApp for questions. Some follow-up can be done remotely with photos, but adjustments, repairs or check-ups may require an in-person visit, either at Rideto or with a local dentist who receives the information about your treatment.

Does the website show prices for treatments?

No. Brazilian dental advertising rules do not allow prices on the website, and the cost depends on your clinical situation, the materials and the number of teeth involved. After the preliminary online review and the in-person evaluation, you receive a written treatment plan with the planned steps, so you can decide with clear information.
