Is it safe to get dental implants in Brazil? Regulations and clinical standards

Quick answer: yes, when you choose a qualified clinic. In Brazil, dentists must be registered with the regional dental council (CRO), and medical devices such as implants are regulated by ANVISA, the national health surveillance agency. Brazil is widely recognized for its implant dentistry.

How dentistry is regulated

• CRO registration: every dentist has a public registration number. Dr. Hugo Robertson is CRO-SP 43.140.
• ANVISA: regulates implants, materials and sterilization standards.
• Health inspections: clinics follow local health surveillance rules.
