How long do I need to stay in Sao Paulo for fixed teeth in 12 hours?

Plan for about 18 days. That is the time most international patients spend in Sao Paulo, from the first visit to the day Dr. Hugo Robertson releases them to fly home.

Here is how those days are organized at Odontoclinic Vila Mariana.

Before you book your flight

Send your exams by WhatsApp: a recent CT scan or panoramic X-ray is enough to start. Dr. Hugo reviews your case in advance, so you arrive with a preliminary plan instead of starting from zero. The final decision is made in person.

Day 1: one visit, two steps

The assessment and the pre-operative visit happen on the same day. Clinical exam, imaging if needed, intraoral scan and digital planning. If fixed teeth in 12 hours is the right option for you, the surgery is scheduled before you leave.

Day 8: surgery

About a week later, the implants are placed with guided surgery. Our dental lab works inside the clinic, so the fixed prosthesis is made and delivered the same day.

Days 9 to 18: healing and follow up

This is the part people tend to underestimate. You will stay around 10 more days so the team can follow your healing. The trip home is released at the follow up visit, not before.

The question I hear most

"Almost every patient who comes from abroad asks me the same thing at the first visit: what if the treatment doesn't work and I have to come back to fix it? Or what if something happens during surgery and I need to stay longer than planned?"

Those 10 days after surgery are the answer. They exist so that any adjustment happens while you are still in Sao Paulo, with Dr. Hugo checking your healing in person.

What to eat in the first days

"Keep it soft and light, from lukewarm to cold: soup, mashed potatoes, ground beef, rice, ice cream. Nothing hard."

A patient from Switzerland

A patient recently flew in from Switzerland for the treatment. What he valued most was having everything done in 12 hours.

In English, from the first message

Dr. Hugo Robertson and Dra. Luiza Orsi see patients in English. You can write to us on WhatsApp in English or Spanish. The clinic is in Vila Mariana, a 5 minute walk from Ana Rosa metro station.

Every treatment plan is individual, and your exact schedule is confirmed at the assessment.
