Odontologia Meira Britto

Odontologia Meira Britto is a dental clinic located at Praca Philogomiro Lannes, 200, Sala 204, Jardim da Penha, Vitoria, Espirito Santo. The practice was founded in 1984 and has operated continuously at the same address for over 40 years, making it one of the most established private dental clinics in the Vitoria metropolitan area. It is led by Dr. Francisco Meira Britto Jr. (CRO-ES CD-2232), whose academic credentials include an undergraduate degree in Dentistry from UFES (Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo), a specialization in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry from UNESP, a Master's degree in Laser in Dentistry from USP (Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2002), and a Doctorate in Implantology from SLM-Campinas (2010). Dr. Meira Britto also served as a 1st Lieutenant Dentist in the Brazilian Army and is bilingual in Portuguese and English. The clinic operates with a multi-specialist team that includes a specialist in endodontics, a general dentist, and a facial harmonization specialist, enabling comprehensive multidisciplinary dental care within a single, long-established practice.

Dental Implants and Oral Surgery

Implantes dentarios (dental implants) are a clinical focus of Dr. Meira Britto, whose doctoral research was specifically in implantology. Titanium implant fixtures are placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth, integrating with the bone through osseointegration and supporting ceramic crowns that replicate the function and appearance of natural teeth. Oral surgery at Odontologia Meira Britto covers the full range of surgical dental procedures, including third molar (wisdom tooth) extractions, general extractions, and surgical implant placement. Doctorate-level training in implantology enables precise surgical planning, management of cases with bone grafting requirements, and greater predictability of long-term implant success.

Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry

Reabilitacao oral (oral rehabilitation) encompasses the full spectrum of restorative and prosthetic solutions available at the clinic. Fixed prosthetics include ceramic veneers, porcelain-fused crowns, and full zirconia restorations — materials selected for their durability and natural appearance. Removable prosthetics are also available for patients requiring denture-based solutions. Dr. Meira Britto's postgraduate specialization in restorative and aesthetic dentistry from UNESP underpins the clinical precision applied to these procedures. Cosmetic dentistry services including tooth whitening and composite resin bonding complement the prosthetic range, enabling both functional restoration and aesthetic improvement within the same practice.

Laser Dentistry

Odontologia Meira Britto offers laser-assisted dental procedures, reflecting Dr. Meira Britto's Master's degree in Laser in Dentistry from USP — a qualification that distinguishes the clinic from the majority of general dental practices in the region. Laser technology in dentistry is applied across multiple clinical contexts: soft tissue surgery and gum contouring, cavity preparation, tooth whitening acceleration, and periodontal therapy. Laser procedures typically reduce bleeding, minimize the need for sutures, and accelerate tissue healing compared to conventional surgical approaches, improving the post-operative experience for patients.

Endodontics

Endodontia (root canal treatment) is provided by the clinic's specialist endodontist, Drielly de Souza (CRO 8042). Root canal treatment removes infected or necrotic pulp tissue from the root canal system of teeth affected by deep caries, pulp exposure, or periapical disease. The canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection, preserving the natural tooth structure. Specialist endodontic provision within the team enables management of complex root anatomies, retreatment cases, and molar endodontics with greater precision than general dental provision. When combined with a definitive ceramic crown restoration, a root-canal-treated tooth can remain in full function for many years.

Periodontics

Periodontia (periodontics) addresses diseases of the gum tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone that support the teeth. The periodontic services at Odontologia Meira Britto encompass preventive and diagnostic assessment, professional scaling and root planing for early-stage gum disease, and more advanced periodontal therapy for established periodontitis. Periodontal health is foundational to the long-term success of implant treatment, restorations, and orthodontics — making periodontic assessment an integrated part of comprehensive treatment planning at the clinic.

Facial Harmonization

Harmonizacao facial (facial harmonization) is offered by Dra. Julia Prates (CRO 012045), who specializes in aesthetic facial treatments within the dental scope. Facial harmonization at dental clinics typically includes botulinum toxin for wrinkle reduction and bruxism management, dermal fillers for lip augmentation and facial contouring, and biorevitalization treatments. The availability of facial harmonization within a long-established dental practice provides patients with a trusted clinical environment and a provider already familiar with their dental and facial anatomy.
