NAFA Dental Aesthetic

NAFA Dental Aesthetic, registered formally as NAFA Dental Aesthetic and Medical Care, is a private aesthetic-leaning dental practice located on Jalan Doktor Ir. Haji Soekarno in east Surabaya, on the MERR corridor. The clinic launched in 2024 and is part of the wider NAFA Care brand, which includes related medical and aesthetic services. The location places the clinic on one of the busiest arterial roads in the eastern half of the city, with easy access for residents of Sukolilo, Mulyorejo, Pakuwon City, and the surrounding districts, as well as patients commuting in from other parts of Surabaya. The MERR road network is well served by ride-hailing apps and connects east Surabaya to the central business district and the southern parts of the city.

The clinic positions itself in the aesthetic-leaning end of the local Indonesian dental market, with modern interiors, a clean visual identity, and a service mix that combines everyday general dentistry with cosmetic and restorative services. The brand markets a combination of general and specialist dentistry, with at least one named team member, drg. Arista Widya Agustina, identified as part of the clinical team. As a relatively new clinic, NAFA has been actively building its brand presence through Instagram, TikTok, and influencer collaborations targeting Indonesian audiences in Surabaya and the wider East Java region.

The clinical scope at NAFA Dental Aesthetic covers the everyday range of services expected of a modern Indonesian aesthetic-oriented general practice. Routine and preventive care includes oral examinations, professional scaling and polishing, fluoride applications where appropriate, and patient education in everyday brushing and flossing technique. Patients are usually seen for an initial consultation that combines a clinical examination with diagnostic photographs and intraoral imaging where appropriate, and treatment plans are discussed in stages so that urgent issues can be prioritized first and elective work planned over time.

Restorative dentistry covers tooth-colored composite fillings, glass ionomer restorations for selected indications, and full-coverage ceramic crowns. Aesthetic fillings, known locally as tambal estetik, are an important part of the practice's daily workflow, with attention paid to shade matching and contour so that anterior restorations blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. Endodontic treatment, including conventional root canal therapy on anterior, premolar, and molar teeth, is provided for teeth that need pulp treatment, with post-endodontic restoration planned to keep the tooth functional in the long term. For teeth that cannot be saved, simple and surgical extractions are part of the standard service menu, including the management of impacted wisdom teeth within the limits of a general practice.

Cosmetic dentistry is a clear focus of the brand. Services include in-office and at-home professional whitening, also known locally as bleaching, composite veneers, porcelain veneers, ceramic crowns for visible front teeth, and conservative composite bonding for chips, gaps, and minor shape concerns. Treatment plans are usually staged so that hygiene and any underlying restorative needs are addressed before purely aesthetic work begins, with attention to whether more conservative options can deliver the desired result before moving to indirect ceramic restorations.

Orthodontic treatment is another important pillar of the practice. Patients can typically choose between conventional fixed appliances, including metal and ceramic braces, and clear aligner therapy, with the orthodontic plan selected based on case complexity, the patient's preferences, and the expected duration of treatment. For tooth replacement, NAFA Dental Aesthetic offers conventional bridges and full-coverage crowns for fixed prosthetic cases, along with removable solutions including acrylic and flexible thermoplastic dentures. Dental implants are part of the wider service menu for patients who are good candidates and who can plan their treatment over multiple visits in line with implant healing protocols.

Hygiene and infection control follow accepted Indonesian dental standards, with autoclaved instruments, single-use items handled appropriately, and clean treatment rooms turned over between patients. Diagnostic imaging on site typically includes intraoral periapical radiographs, with panoramic imaging and cone beam computed tomography arranged through partner imaging facilities for orthodontic and implant planning where indicated. Communication with patients is generally in Indonesian, in keeping with the local market the clinic serves, and WhatsApp is the day-to-day channel for booking appointments, sending pre-treatment information, and answering follow-up questions.

For local patients in east Surabaya looking for a newer aesthetic-leaning practice with a modern visual identity, accessible MERR-corridor access, and a balanced mix of general and cosmetic dentistry, NAFA Dental Aesthetic is one of the more recently established options in this part of the city. As a relatively new clinic, the brand is primarily oriented toward the Indonesian patient base, and English-language support is not actively advertised.
