Velloso Odontologia is a cosmetic dental clinic located at Rua Gelu Vervloet dos Santos, 500, Sala 1403, Jardim Camburi, Vitoria, Espirito Santo. Founded in January 2013, the clinic has been in operation for over 13 years and has completed more than 12,000 veneers and dental lenses during that period — a volume claim that reflects a high-throughput specialist cosmetic practice. The clinic positions itself as the pioneer specialist in dental veneers and contact lenses in Espirito Santo state. It is led by Dra. Ana Paula Britto Velloso Freire, a dentist with a clinical residency in aesthetic dentistry, a postgraduate specialization in prosthodontics, and a further specialization in orthodontics — giving her a multi-disciplinary foundation across the aesthetic, restorative, and alignment aspects of smile design. Dra. Ana Paula also mentors other dentists in veneer techniques, reflecting a depth of clinical expertise that extends beyond routine aesthetic practice. The clinical team also includes Dra. Hemanuely Fonseca, a general and aesthetic dentistry practitioner currently completing a postgraduate specialization in restorative dentistry. The clinic is equipped with a 5D Itero intraoral scanner for digital arch scanning, intraoral cameras with 60x magnification, and digital radiography, enabling precise digital treatment planning and pre-treatment smile visualization.
Resin Veneers and Dental Contact Lenses
Facetas em resina (resin veneers) are the defining specialty of Velloso Odontologia and the treatment that has driven the clinic's reputation in Espirito Santo. Resin veneers are applied directly to the tooth surface using composite resin material, sculpted and polished in a single appointment to correct color, shape, length, and surface texture irregularities. The single-appointment delivery is a key differentiator from porcelain options, making resin veneers accessible for patients seeking a significant aesthetic transformation without multiple lab fabrication visits. Lentes de contato dental em porcelana (porcelain dental contact lenses) offer an ultra-thin ceramic alternative — typically 0.2–0.5mm — that achieves a translucent, light-reflecting appearance extremely close to natural enamel. Lentes hibridas 3D (3D hybrid lenses) are a further material option combining properties of both resin and ceramic for specific clinical situations. The clinic's digital smile preview system allows patients to visualize the planned aesthetic outcome before committing to treatment, removing much of the uncertainty typically associated with cosmetic dental investment.
Dental Implants
Implantes dentarios (dental implants) integrate the clinic's prosthodontic and oral rehabilitation capabilities with its cosmetic dentistry expertise. Implants replace missing teeth by anchoring a titanium fixture into the jawbone, which integrates through osseointegration and supports a ceramic crown indistinguishable in appearance from a natural tooth. In aesthetic cases — particularly in the anterior (front) zone of the smile — the prosthetic crown on an implant must be designed with the same level of aesthetic precision as a veneer, making the combination of implant placement and specialist prosthodontic finishing particularly relevant. Dra. Ana Paula's specialization in prosthodontics ensures that the prosthetic phase of implant treatment meets the same aesthetic standard as the clinic's veneer and lens work.
Full Oral Rehabilitation
Reabilitacao oral completa (full oral rehabilitation) addresses cases requiring comprehensive functional and aesthetic restoration of the entire dentition. These cases typically involve significant tooth wear, multiple missing teeth, failed previous restorations, or severe aesthetic concerns affecting the whole smile, and require coordinated treatment planning across prosthetics, implants, endodontics, and periodontics. At Velloso Odontologia, full rehabilitation cases benefit from the clinic's specialist cosmetic dentistry background, ensuring that the prosthetic outcome satisfies both functional requirements — correct bite, stable occlusion — and the aesthetic standards associated with a specialist veneer practice. Digital scanning and smile design tools facilitate pre-treatment planning and patient communication throughout complex multi-phase rehabilitation cases.
Orthodontics
Ortodontia (orthodontics) is offered at Velloso Odontologia using self-ligating aesthetic bracket systems — a fixed appliance type that reduces friction between the bracket and archwire, potentially shortening treatment time and requiring fewer adjustment appointments compared to conventional brackets. Aesthetic self-ligating brackets use ceramic or clear materials that are substantially less visible than metal alternatives, making them appropriate for adult patients who require fixed orthodontic correction but prioritize a discreet appliance appearance during treatment. Orthodontic alignment is frequently planned as a preparatory step before veneer or lens placement, ensuring that teeth are in their optimal positions before cosmetic finishing is applied.
Smile Design and Digital Technology
Velloso Odontologia uses digital technology at multiple stages of the aesthetic treatment workflow. The clinic's 5D Itero intraoral scanner captures a precise three-dimensional digital model of the patient's dental arch without the discomfort of traditional putty impressions, enabling accurate digital planning and communication with dental laboratories. The digital smile design and preview process allows patients to see a realistic visualization of their planned aesthetic result — including veneer shape, length, and color — before any treatment begins, supporting informed consent and aligned aesthetic expectations. Intraoral cameras with 60x magnification enable the clinical team to document baseline tooth surfaces in high resolution and monitor aesthetic and restorative outcomes at follow-up visits.
