Odonto Cristal is a well-established multi-specialty dental clinic located at Rua Tenente Silveira, 199, Sala 307, in the Edificio Apolo 199 in the historic Centro neighborhood of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina. Operating since 1992 and serving more than 60,000 patients over more than three decades, Odonto Cristal has become one of the most recognized dental references in the city, built on a foundation of clinical excellence, advanced technology, and a patient-centered philosophy that prioritizes transparency, ethics, and genuine care at every interaction.
The Founding Team and Clinical Staff
The clinic was founded and is led by Dr. Gilberto Floriano (CRO-SC 3584) and Dra. Claudia Helena Tonon Floriano (CRO-SC 3617), both graduates of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Dr. Gilberto holds a Master's degree in Orthodontics from UFSC and a specialization in Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina, and is a certified Invisalign provider since 2020. Dra. Claudia specializes in Dental Prosthetics with post-graduate training in Periodontics, Implants, TMJ and Orofacial Pain, Digital Smile Design, and Sleep Dentistry. Both are members of their respective Santa Catarina specialty societies.
The broader team includes Dra. Maria Izabel Szpoganicz Moreira (CRO-SC 11176), specialist in Periodontics and Implantology; an additional periodontics and implantology specialist with a PhD from Universidade de Guarulhos and a Master's from SLMandic who also serves as faculty in the implantology program at Be.dental School; Dra. Juliana Tomaz Girardi; Dra. Nicole Hubbe Kuhnen; and Dra. Vitoria Steil (CRO-SC 20294), who holds a post-graduate specialization in Orofacial Harmonization covering facial fillers, botulinum toxin, biostimulators, chemical peels, lasers, and bichectomy.
Digital Technology and Smile Planning
Odonto Cristal distinguishes itself through commitment to cutting-edge dental technology. The clinic uses the iTero Element intraoral digital scanner for more comfortable, precise, and predictable treatment outcomes across prosthetics, orthodontics, and smile design cases. Digital Smile Planning allows patients to preview the projected results of aesthetic and restorative treatments before any irreversible steps are taken, aligning expectations and improving decision-making. The iTero scanner also enables the most accurate Invisalign treatment planning, connecting seamlessly to the Invisalign ClinCheck digital simulation workflow.
Invisalign and Orthodontics
Certified as an Invisalign provider since 2020, the clinic offers the full range of Invisalign clear aligner treatments for adults and adolescents. The system's custom-fabricated, virtually transparent aligners progressively correct misalignment, spacing, crowding, and bite irregularities without the visual impact or dietary restrictions of fixed braces. Conventional orthodontic treatment with metal, ceramic, and self-ligating bracket systems is also available for cases that benefit from fixed appliances.
Implants, Prosthetics, and Endodontics
Dental implants placed by the clinic's specialist implantologists restore missing teeth with permanent, bone-integrated foundations. Prosthetic restorations in fixed and removable configurations, including implant-supported full-arch prosthetics, crowns, bridges, and dentures, are planned and executed in coordination with the surgical team. Root canal therapy is performed using modern endodontic protocols to save compromised teeth and resolve infections with minimal discomfort.
Dental Veneers and Aesthetic Dentistry
Dental contact lenses and porcelain veneers allow patients to transform the appearance of their smile with ultra-thin ceramic restorations that correct color, shape, and size with minimal tooth preparation. Combined with digital smile planning and the iTero scanner, aesthetic treatment planning at Odonto Cristal is precise, predictable, and fully co-created with the patient before any irreversible work begins.
Periodontics, Orofacial Harmonization, and Sleep Dentistry
The clinic's periodontics services address gum disease at all stages from preventive scaling to advanced surgical intervention, providing the healthy gingival foundation that supports all other dental treatments. Orofacial harmonization with botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulators, peels, and lasers is available for patients seeking facial aesthetic enhancement alongside their dental care. Sleep dentistry using oral appliances for sleep apnea and snoring provides a dental solution to respiratory conditions that are often managed solely in medical settings. TMJ disorder and bruxism management including custom occlusal splints rounds out the clinic's comprehensive offering in functional and sleep-related dentistry.

The Edificio Apolo 199 address on Rua Tenente Silveira is centrally located in downtown Florianopolis, accessible by public transport from across the island city.
