Clínica de Odontologia Integrativa

Clínica de Odontologia Integrativa, known by its brand name Cointegrativa, is a multidisciplinary dental clinic located in Campina Grande, Paraíba, recognized as a leader in integrative dentistry in the region. The clinic is founded and directed by Dra. Marília Pessoa, a dental surgeon with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in functional orthopedics and aesthetic dentistry. Dra. Marília leads a team of specialists committed to a philosophy of integrative, multidisciplinary, and humanized dental care — addressing not just the teeth and gums, but the whole person, in alignment with modern evidence-based approaches to oral and systemic health.

The clinic's integrative philosophy recognizes that oral health is deeply connected to general health and well-being. This approach informs both the scope of services offered and the way care is delivered — with attention to each patient's full health context, lifestyle factors, and holistic needs alongside the specific dental treatments they require. The team operates under core values of ethics, quality, technical innovation, punctuality, kindness, humanized service, and empathy.

Dental Implants and Prosthetics

Dr. Eduardo Fernando, specialist in implantology, implant prosthetics, and minor oral surgery, leads the clinic's implant program. Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with titanium fixtures integrated into the jawbone, providing a permanent, stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or overdentures. The clinic offers both single-tooth implants and comprehensive implant-supported full-arch prostheses (prótese protocolo) for patients requiring complete arch rehabilitation. Dr. Eduardo's dual expertise in implant placement and prosthetic restoration allows for integrated management of complex cases from planning through final delivery.

Orthodontics and Invisalign

Ortodontia (orthodontics) at Cointegrativa includes both conventional fixed appliances and Invisalign — the internationally recognized clear aligner system. Invisalign uses a series of custom-fabricated transparent trays to progressively shift teeth into alignment, offering a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional brackets. The clinic is an authorized Invisalign provider, ensuring patients receive the genuine system with full digital planning support. Orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth, crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities, improving both aesthetics and long-term oral health.

TMJ Dysfunction Treatment

Tratamento de DTM (temporomandibular joint dysfunction treatment) is a specialty area aligned with the clinic's integrative philosophy. TMJ dysfunction causes symptoms including jaw pain, clicking and locking, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain — conditions that affect quality of life and often have multifactorial causes including stress, bruxism, and bite problems. Dra. Marília's background in functional orthopedics positions her particularly well for TMJ management, which may involve occlusal splints, bite adjustment, physiotherapy coordination, and behavioral strategies.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment

One of Cointegrativa's distinctive integrative services is treatment for sleep apnea and roncopatia (snoring). Dentists trained in sleep medicine can provide mandibular advancement devices (MADs) — oral appliances worn during sleep that reposition the lower jaw to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This treatment is a recognized alternative to CPAP for eligible patients, and its provision within a dental setting is a mark of the clinic's truly integrative, whole-health approach.

Facial Harmonization

Harmonização facial (orofacial harmonization) extends the clinic's aesthetic services to the broader face. Within the scope of dental practice, Cointegrativa offers minimally invasive injectable aesthetic procedures — including botulinum toxin for facial muscle relaxation, gummy smile correction, and wrinkle reduction, and hyaluronic acid fillers for lip enhancement and facial contouring. These services complement the dental aesthetic treatments available and allow patients to address their smile and facial appearance comprehensively.

Periodontics

Periodontia (periodontics) addresses the health of the gums and supporting bone. Gum disease management — from early gingivitis through advanced periodontitis — is essential for preserving natural teeth and ensuring the long-term success of implants and other restorations. The clinic provides professional periodontal assessment, deep cleaning, surgical periodontal interventions, and maintenance protocols as part of its comprehensive oral health offering.

Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Gustavo Leite Ribeiro provides odontopediatria (pediatric dentistry) and general dental care at Cointegrativa. Pediatric dental care emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and creating positive dental experiences for children from their first tooth through adolescence. The integrative clinic environment — attentive, humanized, and ethically grounded — is well-suited to delivering the patient-centered approach that pediatric dentistry demands.

Aesthetic Dentistry

The clinic offers comprehensive aesthetic dental services including professional teeth whitening (clareamento dental) and dental veneers (facetas dentárias) — ceramic or composite restorations that correct tooth color, shape, and size. Dra. Marília's specialization in aesthetic dentistry ensures that cosmetic treatments are planned and executed with the highest level of clinical artistry and technical precision, delivering natural-looking, personalized results.

Oral Surgery

Cirurgia oral (oral surgery) services — including tooth extractions, bone grafting, and other surgical dental procedures — are available through the clinic's specialist team, supporting both stand-alone surgical needs and preparatory work for implant placement and other restorative treatments.

Patient Experience

Cointegrativa is committed to a clinical environment that prioritizes patient comfort, respect, and empowerment. The facility offers spacious, welcoming treatment rooms and a team culture of kindness and attentiveness. For patients in Campina Grande seeking dental care that goes beyond treating symptoms to address root causes, systemic connections, and long-term health — Clínica de Odontologia Integrativa represents a distinctive, evidence-informed approach led by experienced specialists who care about the whole person.
