This is a great place, with modern technology and super high standard knowledgeable staff! Worth the trip!!!! Thank you Dr Cristina and whole team for the excellent care!!!!
We live in California and always make time to schedule an appointment with Eloisa for our family when we are back visiting. She is a consummate professional and we trust her. She is honest, is great with our kids, and we have had nothing but great experiences with her which is why she continues to be our dentist despite the fact we live in a different country. We are grateful for her.
Both Dr Eloisa and Cristina are exceptional. Incredible care, up with all current treatments and technology, there is nothing they can’t resolve and treat with the highest quality. I’ve gone through a surgery and a remote (whilst living overseas) Invisalign treatment. In both cases they found solutions that many other dentists were not aware of and executed them with the absolute success. They are knowledgeable, efficient, achieve great results and are wonderful people. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
We start by checking your teeth and gums, then use a disclosing solution to show where plaque builds up. The cleaning uses Airflow®, a jet of warm water, air, and a fine powder that removes plaque and stains, followed by an ultrasonic scaler where tartar remains. We finish with hygiene tips for you. It takes one visit of about 45 minutes.
Yes. Every cleaning at L'Oris includes an exam of your teeth, gums, and existing fillings or crowns. If we find something that needs attention, like a cavity or a cracked filling, we explain it and, when your schedule allows, plan the treatment during your stay.
Yes, when you choose a licensed practice with proper sterilization. In Brazil, dental offices are regulated by the regional dental board and by health authorities. At L'Oris, cleanings are done by our dentists themselves, and instruments are sterilized for each patient. A cleaning is also a good way to start any other treatment with healthy gums.
We follow a Guided Biofilm Therapy protocol: plaque is made visible with a dye, removed with Airflow® using warm water and a fine powder, and any remaining tartar is taken off with a thin ultrasonic tip. The technique is gentle on gums, implants, crowns, and braces.
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above and just below the gumline, for people with healthy gums. A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, treats gum disease by cleaning deeper under the gums, usually with local anesthesia and in sessions by area of the mouth. We tell you which one you need after measuring your gums.
Yes, and the order matters: cleaning comes first. Removing plaque and surface stains shows your real tooth color and helps the whitening gel work evenly. Depending on your schedule, whitening can be done a few days after the cleaning. We plan both in your treatment schedule.
Most cleanings take one visit of about 45 minutes, including the exam and hygiene tips. If there's a lot of tartar or signs of gum disease, we may need more than one appointment, and we tell you at the start.
Most people with healthy gums do well with a cleaning every six months. If you wear braces or aligners, have implants, a history of gum disease, or build up tartar quickly, every three or four months may be better. Your dentist sets the interval after the exam.
