Sorrifacil Maringa — Souza Naves is a dental clinic located at Praca Senador Abilon de Souza Naves, 364, Maringa, Parana. The clinic is a unit of the Sorrifacil network — founded in June 2006 in Rio Grande do Sul by two recently graduated dentists with the mission of making quality dentistry accessible to all social classes, and now operating 100+ clinics across Brazil and in Uruguay, serving approximately 60,000 patients monthly across the network. Sorrifacil is the only dental implant-focused franchise accredited by ABF (Associacao Brasileira do Franchising) in 2024, and positions itself as the largest network of company-owned dental clinics in Brazil. The Souza Naves unit is led by Dr. Gustavo Ronik Nogueira (CRO-PR 33059) as technical director. The clinic is equipped with a dedicated surgical block, pre- and post-operative rooms, on-site panoramic X-ray, WiFi and ceiling-mounted televisions in treatment areas, and accessible parking with PCD-exclusive spaces. The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 08:00 to 19:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 to 13:00, and delivers care with a humanized patient experience philosophy.
Dental Implants
Implantes dentarios (dental implants) are the flagship specialty of the Sorrifacil network and a primary service at the Souza Naves unit. The clinic's dedicated surgical block and pre- and post-operative rooms reflect an infrastructure specifically configured for implant surgery at clinical-standard conditions. Single implants replace individual missing teeth with titanium fixtures that integrate into the jawbone through osseointegration, supporting ceramic crowns that restore the full function and appearance of the natural tooth. Full-arch implant protocols (Protocol prosthetics) address patients with complete or near-complete tooth loss through a fixed implant-supported bridge anchored on four or more implants per arch — providing a permanent, stable, and aesthetically refined alternative to conventional full dentures. On-site panoramic X-ray enables implant site assessment and treatment planning without referral to external imaging facilities.
Orthodontics and SorriAligner
Aparelhos ortodonticos (orthodontic appliances) correct dental misalignment, crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities using fixed bracket systems or the SorriAligner — Sorrifacil's proprietary clear aligner product. SorriAligner uses a series of custom-fabricated transparent trays that progressively reposition teeth without fixed hardware, with the network claiming treatment times up to 40% shorter than conventional braces and a comfortable, discreet wearing experience. Fixed orthodontic systems remain the preferred option for complex alignment and bite correction cases where the precision and control of fixed appliances is clinically necessary. Orthodontic treatment at the clinic can be coordinated with implant, prosthetic, and aesthetic dentistry services for patients whose comprehensive treatment plans involve multiple disciplines.
Dental Veneers and Aesthetic Dentistry
Lentes de contato dental (dental contact lenses) and aesthetic dentistry are available within the full-spectrum service offering at the Souza Naves unit. Dental contact lenses are ultra-thin ceramic facets bonded to the tooth surface to correct color, shape, and surface irregularities with minimal tooth preparation — one of the most conservative aesthetic interventions available for anterior smile improvement. Broader aesthetic dentistry services include teeth whitening (clareamento dental) using professional peroxide-based treatments, composite resin restorations for localized cosmetic corrections, and comprehensive smile design planning that combines aesthetic dentistry with orthodontic and prosthetic elements where the patient's goals require a multi-disciplinary approach.
General Dentistry and Endodontics
General dentistry at the clinic covers routine examinations, professional cleanings and prophylaxis, fluoride application, composite resin restorations for caries treatment, and tooth extractions and oral surgery procedures including third molar removal. Tratamento de canal (root canal treatment / endodontics) preserves natural teeth affected by pulpal infection or irreversible damage, eliminating the acute pain of dental infection while saving the tooth structure for long-term clinical service with a protective ceramic crown. The availability of these general dentistry services alongside implantology and orthodontics within a single clinic means that patients can complete comprehensive treatment plans — from preparatory extractions through restorative and aesthetic finishing — without leaving the Sorrifacil clinical environment.
Prosthodontics and Oral Surgery
Protese dentaria (dental prosthetics) encompasses fixed and removable tooth replacement solutions: crowns for individual damaged teeth, bridges for multiple-tooth gaps, partial dentures for patients missing several teeth across an arch, and complete dentures for fully edentulous patients. Prosthetic planning is coordinated with implant surgery where implant-supported options are preferred, and with orthodontic treatment where alignment correction precedes definitive restoration. The clinic's surgical block supports both routine oral surgery and the more complex implant procedures — providing a clinical environment that meets the sterility and facility standards required for safe surgical dental care within the ambulatory setting.
