Zirconia All-on-4 dental implants in Dr. Fernando Giovanella Clinic
About the clinic
Zirconia All-on-4 dental implants at the Dr. Fernando Giovanella Clinic in Blumenau, Brazil, provide a full-arch restoration for patients with missing teeth. This procedure uses four implants to support a fixed zirconia bridge without the need for bone grafting. The clinic is known for its advanced digital workflow and the FaceFirst design method, which aligns the new teeth with the patient’s facial proportions.
Advanced Surgical Planning
The clinic uses a complete digital workflow to help with surgical accuracy. It starts with a CT scan and a 3D simulation of the jaw. Dr. Fernando Giovanella uses a 3D-printed replica of the patient's bone to rehearse the surgery before the actual procedure. To help place the implants with millimeter precision, the team uses the SkinGuide custom resin guide. This careful planning helps make the single surgery more predictable and efficient.
The FaceFirst Approach and Materials
The FaceFirst method helps create a smile that supports the lips and matches facial harmony. This technique was published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. The final bridge is made from zirconia, a durable and natural-looking material. Most patients receive their fixed teeth within 3 to 7 days of the procedure. This immediate loading means you do not have to wait months for a functional smile.
Expertise of Dr. Fernando Giovanella
Dr. Fernando Giovanella is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with over 20 years of experience. He holds a Master’s degree in Implant Dentistry and wrote the book Zygoma 2.0. As the creator of the SkinGuide and FaceFirst methods, he focuses on both the function and the look of the restoration. The clinic holds ISO 9001 and TEMOS accreditations, showing a commitment to international quality standards.
Comfort and Safety
Surgery takes place in a private surgical suite with several anesthesia choices. Patients can choose local anesthesia, intravenous sedation managed by a physician anesthesiologist, or general anesthesia. For cases requiring general anesthesia, the clinic works with Hospital Unimed Blumenau. These options help keep the patient comfortable during the single-day surgical session.

Brazil, Blumenau
What the clinic treats
Full-arch rehabilitation of the upper and lower jaw for patients who were told they do not have enough bone for implants, or whose bone grafts or implants failed. Depending on the CT scan, the implants are anchored in the front of the jaw (All-on-4 or All-on-6), in the cheekbone (zygomatic implants) or in the pterygoid region, in many cases without bone grafting. Dr. Giovanella chooses the technique after reviewing the patient's CT scan.

How a case is planned
Planning starts with the patient's CT scan (DICOM). The surgery is planned in 3D and transferred to the mouth with a custom surgical guide (SkinGuide®). Zygomatic cases are first rehearsed on a 3D-printed replica of the patient's bone. The patient receives the treatment plan and the price in writing before booking flights.
Anesthesia and where surgery takes place
Most surgeries are performed at the clinic under intravenous sedation given by a physician anesthesiologist, after a pre-anesthetic assessment. Selected cases are performed under general anesthesia at Hospital Unimed Blumenau, a JCI-accredited hospital.
Prosthesis options
Resin (included in the base price): a definitive fixed bridge of 12 teeth is placed 3–5 days after surgery, in one trip, with a check-up and reline at 3–4 months. Zirconia (optional upgrade): a 3D-printed fixed provisional bridge is placed within 3–5 days, and the zirconia bridge is fitted on a second one-week trip after 3 months.

I had the extraction of 2 teeth with Dr. Fernando. I was very well taken care of, and he gave me several options, because I have 2 impacted teeth that are difficult to remove and I haven’t removed them yet. He explained my case very well and the care I need to take.

I’ve never been his patient and I don’t know him personally. I got to know his work today through YouTube. As a dental surgeon, I have only one word to say about this professional: he’s not good—he’s excellent. I’m a dentist in Rio (general and orthodontist) and I’ve never liked having surgery. Kkkkk

For 2 years I searched for a professional to do zygomatic implants, and God placed him in my path. 1000 out of 10.
