Dr. Arya Edalat is a dental clinic in the Gonzaga neighborhood of Santos, Sao Paulo, led by Dr. Arya Edalat โ a dentist with a unique international background that sets this practice apart in the Baixada Santista region. Dr. Edalat graduated from New York University's College of Dentistry in 1994 and built his early career in Manhattan, where he practiced alongside his father and sister, both professors at NYU. Recognized in 2015 with the prestigious "Top Doctors and Dentists of New York" award, he revalidated his degree at USP in 2006 and completed a specialization in Implantology at USP in 2008, bridging the best of American and Brazilian dental training.
The clinic's defining philosophy is bringing materials, techniques, and equipment from the United States directly to Santos patients, at accessible and transparent pricing. This is not merely a marketing claim โ Dr. Edalat maintains an active role as adjunct professor at NYU School of Dentistry and operates a second clinic in New York at 30 Central Park South, making his international connection current and ongoing rather than historical. Patients in Santos benefit from protocols, materials, and clinical approaches validated in one of the world's most demanding dental markets.
The clinic's service menu is comprehensive. Dental implants are a central specialty, covering the full implantology protocol from surgical placement through prosthetic restoration, with an emphasis on precision and longevity. Aesthetic dentistry encompasses a full range of smile makeover services, including ceramic veneers and resin veneers for smile enhancement, professional teeth whitening, dental contact lenses (ultrathin ceramic overlays), and aesthetic restorations using tooth-colored composite materials.
Prosthodontics covers crowns, bridges, full ceramic prostheses, and inlays and onlays โ restoring form, function, and aesthetics for patients with missing or severely damaged teeth. Full mouth rehabilitation integrates implantology, prosthodontics, and aesthetics into comprehensive treatment plans for patients requiring extensive reconstruction of their dentition.
Orthodontics is available both in conventional fixed bracket systems and through modern transparent aligner options including Invisalign, allowing patients to choose the treatment modality that best fits their lifestyle and clinical needs. Endodontics (root canal therapy) is performed with digital X-ray support for precision diagnostics, while periodontal treatments address gum disease from prevention through surgical intervention including gum plastic surgery (gingivoplasty and gingival contouring).
The clinic also offers pediatric dentistry for younger patients, bruxism treatment for patients with jaw clenching and grinding, halitosis management, oral cancer screening, snoring treatment, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, and orofacial harmonization procedures that complement dental aesthetic work with facial balance treatments.
The Gonzaga clinic is located at Ana Costa Avenue, No. 471, a central and well-connected address in one of Santos' most vibrant neighborhoods. Digital X-ray technology is used throughout the practice for diagnostic accuracy and reduced radiation exposure. Patient testimonials consistently highlight Dr. Edalat's honesty, technical expertise, and ability to transform smiles that had previously been treated unsuccessfully by other practitioners โ with several patients describing the experience as life-changing. The combination of New York-level clinical training, Brazilian academic credentials from USP, and a genuinely international professional profile makes this clinic a distinctive choice for patients seeking advanced dental care in Santos.
