Dra. Ananda Jasson dos Santos (CRO-ES 7859) is a dental surgeon operating a private practice at Avenida Nossa Senhora da Penha, 356, Shopping Boulevard da Praia, 3 andar, Sala 09, Praia do Canto, Vitoria, Espirito Santo. She graduated in dentistry from Universidade Vila Velha (UVV) in 2017 and operates as a solo practitioner offering a broad multi-specialty dental service menu spanning endodontics, prosthetics, dental implants, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, laser therapy, and facial aesthetics. The practice accepts private patients exclusively and is located in the Boulevard da Praia shopping complex in Praia do Canto — one of Vitoria's most established upscale neighborhoods.
Endodontics
Endodontia (root canal treatment) is one of the specialist areas listed on Dra. Ananda's profile. Root canal treatment eliminates infection from the interior of teeth affected by deep caries, irreversible pulpitis, or periapical pathology, by accessing the root canal system, removing infected or necrotic pulp tissue, disinfecting and shaping the canals, and sealing them with a biocompatible material. Successfully treated teeth are subsequently restored with a ceramic crown to protect the treated tooth and restore full occlusal function. Root canal treatment is strongly preferable to extraction where the tooth is restorable, preserving the natural dentition and avoiding the cost and complexity of implant or bridge replacement.
Dental Prosthetics and Implants
Protese dentaria (dental prosthetics) is a second listed specialist area at the practice. Prosthetic restorations include ceramic crowns for individually damaged teeth, fixed bridges spanning tooth-gap spaces using adjacent teeth as abutments, and removable partial or complete dentures for patients with multiple missing teeth. Implantes dentarios (dental implants) provide a fixed, bone-anchored alternative to removable prosthetics: titanium fixtures integrate with the jawbone and support ceramic crowns that replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth. Implant-supported prosthetics are considered the gold standard for single and multiple tooth replacement, combining superior long-term function with the preservation of jawbone volume that is lost following conventional extraction without replacement.
Bruxism Management
Placa de bruxismo (bruxism occlusal splint) is a featured service in the practice's clinical profile. Bruxism — involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep or waking hours — causes progressive tooth wear, ceramic fractures, temporomandibular joint symptoms, and masticatory muscle pain. Custom-fitted hard acrylic or soft occlusal splints worn during sleep create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, redistributing biting forces and reducing the wear and joint loading caused by nocturnal grinding. Splint therapy is typically the first-line treatment for bruxism and is frequently combined with botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the masseter muscle to reduce the intensity of grinding forces, particularly in cases where high-force grinding has caused visible jaw hypertrophy or significant tooth damage.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Teeth Whitening
Clareamento dental (teeth whitening) is another featured service, removing extrinsic and intrinsic staining to brighten the smile through peroxide-based whitening agents. Facetas de porcelana (porcelain veneers) and ceramic crowns extend the aesthetic service offering to corrections of shape, size, and surface irregularities that whitening alone cannot address. Composite resin restorations provide single-appointment aesthetic correction for chipped, fractured, or discolored teeth using bonded tooth-colored material sculpted and polished at the chairside. Cosmetic treatment planning at the practice considers the patient's overall smile aesthetics, occlusal function, and any parallel restorative or orthodontic needs.
Laser Therapy
Laserterapia (laser therapy) is a listed specialty at the practice, applicable across multiple clinical contexts within dentistry. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT or photobiomodulation) is used for tissue healing acceleration — reducing post-operative inflammation and discomfort following surgical procedures, accelerating the healing of oral ulcers and aphthous stomatitis, and providing biostimulatory effects in periodontal and implant cases. High-power laser application in dentistry addresses soft tissue surgery — gum contouring, frenectomy, and periodontal pocket treatment — with precision and reduced bleeding compared to conventional surgical instruments. Laser whitening protocols use specific wavelengths to activate whitening agents, potentially accelerating the chair-side whitening process.
Facial Aesthetics and Orthodontics
Dra. Ananda offers toxina botulinica (botulinum toxin) and preenchimento facial (dermal fillers) within the dental facial aesthetics scope, enabling a combined dental and aesthetic treatment experience within a single appointment or consultation sequence. Botulinum toxin applications in dentistry include wrinkle reduction, therapeutic bruxism management via masseter injection, and lip repositioning for gummy smile correction. Facial fillers restore volume in the perioral and cheek areas for a more youthful facial contour. Ortodontia (orthodontics) using fixed appliances is also available, expanding the practice's scope to include alignment correction as part of the comprehensive smile and facial aesthetic treatment range.
