IRio Odontologia is a private multi-specialty dental clinic network established in 2008. The clinic operates branches in Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, including a unit in Barra da Tijuca. Over 40 professionals work here, focusing on digital diagnostics and complete oral rehabilitation.
Accreditations and Clinical Achievements
The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, reflecting its commitment to international quality standards. Dr. Márcio Ramos founded the practice and brings over 35 years of experience. Under his direction, the team has performed more than 300,000 dental implant procedures. The facility is recognized in Brazil for its structured digital workflow and aesthetic dentistry.
Specialties and Digital Treatment Planning
The clinic provides a wide range of dental services for adults and children:
- Implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation
- Endodontics (root canal treatment) and periodontics
- Orthodontics using braces and transparent aligners
- Prosthodontics and pediatric dentistry
- Aesthetic dentistry including whitening and porcelain laminates
All care begins with a digital check-up to gather precise patient data. This includes 2D panoramic radiographs to visualize facial joints and teeth below the gumline. Specialists also take extra-oral and intra-oral photographs for objective planning. An intra-oral scan records the upper and lower arches, creating a digital STL file. This file lets the team analyze the case and discuss expectations with the patient.
Implant Dentistry and Prosthetics
The clinic offers flapless dental implants – often called implants without cutting the gums. Surgeons plan placement in advance using specialized software. Because the procedure is computer-guided, it is less invasive and more comfortable. Fixed dental prostheses can often be installed within 72 hours of implant surgery. The team also performs All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols to restore full arches of teeth.
Aesthetic and Preventive Care
For smile enhancements, the clinic provides dental contact lenses without wear. These are extremely thin porcelain or resin laminates placed directly on the tooth surface.
Orthodontic patients can choose a transparent aligner system. This option uses a sequence of aligners that patients exchange at home under professional guidance. Preventive care includes deep cleaning to remove tartar using ultrasound equipment or manual instruments.
Advanced Diagnostic Technologies
The clinic uses a digital in-house laboratory to deliver predictable results. Key diagnostic and treatment tools include:
- Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models and scanning
- Computer tomography (CT) for safe and accurate implant placement
- Florida Probe for precise gum and periodontal measurements
- 3D planning software for pre-surgical visualization
CT technology helps specialists avoid critical structures during surgery.
Services for International Patients
The clinic welcomes international patients through a multilingual digital approach. Staff members provide support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The structured digital workflow allows treatment planning to begin at the first appointment. This helps streamline the process for those traveling from other regions or countries.
