Viva Dente Odontologia is a dental clinic in the Vitoria, Espirito Santo metropolitan area, led by Dr. Thiago Tristao Pepino (CRO-ES 4456), a dentist with approximately 15 years of clinical experience. The clinic is active on Instagram (@vivadenteodonto) and Facebook (Viva Dente - Dr. Thiago Tristao Pepino), maintaining a consistent digital presence with clinical content. A distinctive feature of Viva Dente is its 24-hour emergency dental service — available around the clock for patients with acute pain, dental trauma, or other urgent oral health needs that cannot wait for regular business hours.
Flapless Dental Implants
Implantes sem retalho (flapless implant surgery) is a highlighted specialty at Viva Dente. In this minimally invasive implant technique, the titanium fixture is placed through a small punch in the gum tissue without raising a full mucosal flap, preserving blood supply to the surrounding tissue and dramatically reducing post-operative swelling, discomfort, and healing time. Flapless surgery requires precise pre-operative planning — typically supported by CT imaging and computer-guided surgical guides — to ensure accurate implant positioning without direct bone visualization. Dr. Thiago Pepino's use of this technique reflects both technical sophistication and a patient-centered emphasis on minimizing the invasiveness of surgical procedures. Beyond flapless cases, the clinic offers the full implant treatment journey from diagnostic assessment through final prosthetic crown delivery.
24-Hour Emergency Dental Care
Viva Dente's 24-hour emergency service addresses one of the most significant gaps in dental care accessibility — the ability to receive professional treatment for acute dental emergencies outside standard clinic hours. Emergency presentations including severe toothache, dental abscess, cracked or fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, or post-surgical complications can be assessed and managed at any hour. Prompt professional intervention relieves pain, prevents further damage, and in the case of knocked-out teeth, maximizes the chance of successful reimplantation. The availability of this service reflects a clinic model that prioritizes genuine patient need over operational convenience.
Orofacial Harmonization
Harmonizacao Orofacial (orofacial harmonization) extends Viva Dente's aesthetic scope to the face, with minimally invasive procedures — botulinum toxin applications and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers — addressing lip volume and symmetry, perioral lines, facial contour, and overall facial balance. These procedures complement the dental aesthetic work delivered at the clinic, enabling a coordinated approach to comprehensive smile and facial improvement within a single patient relationship.
Aesthetic Dentistry
Lentes de contato dental (dental contact lenses) and clareamento dental (professional teeth whitening) are featured aesthetic services at Viva Dente. Dental contact lenses are ultra-thin porcelain restorations bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to correct color, shape, and minor positional discrepancies — delivering dramatic smile transformations with conservative tooth preparation. Professional whitening brightens enamel using clinical-grade bleaching agents, achieving visible and lasting shade improvements under controlled conditions that minimize sensitivity.
Orthodontics and Endodontics
Ortodontia (orthodontics) corrects misalignment, crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities through fixed and removable appliance systems, with regular monitoring throughout the correction process. Endodontia (root canal treatment) preserves natural teeth compromised by pulpal infection, removing infected tissue and sealing the canal system to allow the tooth to be restored and remain functional. Protese dentaria (dental prosthetics) addresses tooth replacement through fixed crowns, bridges, and removable restorations using modern ceramic and composite materials.
