Propulsao Dental

Propulsao Dental is a dental clinic and dental plan operator located at Avenida Advogado Horacio Raccanello Filho, 6170, Loja 05, Vila Ipiranga, Maringa, Parana. The clinic is part of Grupo Propulsao, with over 10 years in healthcare, and operates five owned clinic units across Parana state (Maringa, Sarandi, Umuarama, Cianorte, and Pinhais) in addition to a credentialed network of dentists across the state. The Maringa clinic holds an Excelente rating based on 1,412 Google reviews. The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 08:00 to 22:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 to 18:00 — extended hours that are significantly later than the majority of private dental clinics and make dental care genuinely accessible for working adults who cannot attend appointments during standard business hours. Propulsao Dental offers both direct (private-pay) consultations and its own dental plan, which covers over 220 procedures with no co-payment at the point of service and offers individual, family, and corporate subscription options. The OdontoTruck mobile dental clinic extends the practice's reach to workplaces and corporate health events, providing on-site dental evaluations and preventive actions.

Dental Plan and Coverage

Propulsao Dental's own-branded dental plan is available to individuals, families, and corporate groups. The plan covers over 220 dental procedures with no co-payment (sem copagamento) — meaning enrolled members receive covered treatments without any out-of-pocket payment at the time of service, unlike many Brazilian dental plan models that apply per-procedure co-payments. Individual plans are available from R$49.90 per month; family plans (for two or more members) from R$34.90 per person per month; and corporate plans (for two or more employees) from R$25.90 per person per month, with zero waiting period on corporate enrolment. The plan operates across all five Propulsao owned units and the broader credentialed dentist network, giving enrolled members access to dental care across Parana. Members also receive a benefits card with up to 40% discount at the Sao Paulo Pharmacy network (Rede de Farmacias Sao Paulo) alongside the dental coverage.

General and Preventive Dentistry

General dentistry at Propulsao Dental covers the full preventive and restorative dental scope: clinical consultations, emergency and urgent care, professional cleaning (profilaxia), fluoride application, fissure sealants, periapical and panoramic radiography, and composite resin and amalgam restorations for caries treatment. Preventive care forms the foundation of effective dental health management, and its inclusion in the plan coverage without co-payment encourages consistent attendance at check-up appointments — the model that produces the best long-term oral health outcomes for plan members. Diagnostic imaging on-site avoids the delays associated with external referral for radiographic assessment.

Endodontics and Periodontics

Tratamento de canal (root canal treatment / endodontics) is included in the plan coverage, enabling preservation of natural teeth affected by pulpal infection or periapical pathology without co-payment barrier at the point of care. Root canal treatment eliminates the acute pain of dental infection while saving the natural tooth structure — avoiding the need for extraction and replacement. Periodontia (periodontics) covers gum disease treatment, addressing the most prevalent dental condition in the adult Brazilian population and one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. Periodontal treatment is foundational to the long-term success of restorations and implants, and its inclusion in the plan coverage reflects the comprehensive scope of the Propulsao Dental model.

Dental Implants and Orthodontics

Implantes dentarios (dental implants) are available at Propulsao Dental as a tooth replacement solution for patients with missing teeth. Titanium implant fixtures integrate into the jawbone through osseointegration and support ceramic crowns that restore full function and appearance. Ortodontia (orthodontics) corrects dental misalignment through fixed appliance systems, with orthodontic installation and documentation covered under the plan and orthodontic case progress trackable through the Dontus online patient portal. Orthodontic treatment at the clinic is delivered by specialist orthodontic practitioners and coordinated with other dental services where comprehensive treatment planning is required.

OdontoTruck — Mobile Dental Clinic

The OdontoTruck is a mobile dental clinic operated by Propulsao Dental that brings dental services directly to workplaces and corporate events. The OdontoTruck is deployed at SIPAT (Semana Interna de Prevencao de Acidentes de Trabalho) occupational health safety weeks, corporate health fairs, and as an employee health benefit at partner companies. On-site services include dental evaluations, preventive care, and oral health education delivered to employees at their workplace during working hours — removing the scheduling barrier that prevents many working adults from attending dental appointments. The OdontoTruck model is particularly relevant to corporate customers enrolled in the Propulsao Dental group plan, enabling coordinated dental health programs as part of broader employee health and wellness initiatives.
