Dentistas Florianopolis is a modern private dental clinic located in the Centro district of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, founded in 2018 by Dra. Cinara Queiroz Duarte (CRO-SC 14218), a specialist orthodontist and certified Invisalign provider. What began as a solo practice has grown into a multi-dentist clinic with a team of six credentialed specialists, delivering comprehensive dental care while maintaining a clear identity as one of the leading Invisalign providers in the state and among the top 100 Invisalign clinics in Brazil.
Founder and Clinical Philosophy
Dra. Cinara Queiroz Duarte graduated in Dentistry from UNISC in 2014 and completed her post-graduate specialization in Orthodontics at Centro de Odontologia da Ilha in 2017. In 2018 she opened the clinic and became a certified Invisalign Doctor through Align Technology, building a volume-based expertise in clear aligner orthodontics that has since placed her among the highest-performing Invisalign providers in Santa Catarina. Her clinical philosophy centers on humanized, high-performance dentistry: each smile is treated with attention, warmth, and precision, combining advanced technology with genuine personal care to deliver predictable, lasting results.
Invisalign: The Clinic's Flagship Service
Invisalign is the centerpiece of Dentistas Florianopolis. Unlike many general practices that offer clear aligners as a secondary service, this clinic has positioned it as its core identity, an investment reflected in the clinic's iTero Element intraoral scanner, the 3D imaging system used by certified Invisalign providers worldwide. At the first appointment, patients receive a rapid, radiation-free 3D scan of their full dentition. The iTero system generates a ClinCheck digital preview of expected smile outcomes before any treatment begins, giving patients the transparency to see projected results before committing. The aligners themselves use Invisalign's SmartTrack material, engineered for consistent, controlled tooth movement across cases including crowding, spacing, diastema, open bite, crossbite, deep bite, and mild-to-moderate Class II malocclusion. Treatment is available for children, adolescents, and adults.
Comprehensive Care Beyond Orthodontics
The clinic's six-dentist team ensures full-service dental care under one roof. Restorative dentistry including ceramic and porcelain veneers, tooth-coloured composite restorations, and dental implants with implant-supported prosthetics is available alongside mechanical root canal therapy, pediatric dentistry, professional cleaning and periodontal care, teeth whitening, and oral surgery including wisdom tooth removal. Bruxism management using occlusal splints and botulinum toxin for jaw muscle hyperactivity is also offered, as is orofacial harmonization including dermal filler and botox treatments performed by the clinic's trained aesthetic specialist.
The Clinical Team
Alongside Dra. Cinara Duarte, the team includes Dra. Andreza L. Meneghel in restorative dentistry, Dra. Bruna Antonini Maica in endodontics and orofacial aesthetics, Dra. Giulia Martins Andrade in general dentistry, Dra. Heba Yasin Altabakh in implants, orthodontics, and harmonization, and Dra. Kelly Nicoli dos Santos in orthodontics. All practitioners hold active CRO-SC registrations and post-graduate credentials from institutions including UFSC, PUCRS, UNISUL, and CEOI.
Private Practice, Premium Standards
The clinic operates as a private-pay practice exclusively, accepting no insurance plans. This model allows the team to maintain premium standards of care, materials, and appointment duration without managed-care constraints. Payment is accepted by cash, credit card, and debit card. The Centro location in Florianopolis, the capital of Santa Catarina and one of Brazil's most visited cities, makes the clinic accessible for both local patients and those travelling from other parts of Brazil or abroad for dental care.
