Consultation with creation of treatment plan in Instituto Diamond – Consultório Odontológico em Belo Horizonte

Instituto Diamond is a private dental clinic in the Santa Efigênia neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Founded in 2015, the facility is led by Dr. Pedro Sodré. The clinic focuses on restorative, functional, and aesthetic dentistry. Treatments follow a step-by-step workflow that starts with personalized evaluation and includes post-procedure support.

Dental Implantology and Restoration

The clinic specializes in oral rehabilitation for patients with missing teeth. For healthy individuals, the success rate for dental implants is approximately 90–95%. Specialists offer several implant options to address different levels of bone loss:

• Immediate load dental implants – patients receive a provisional or definitive prosthesis shortly after surgery
• Zygomatic implants for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw
• Zygomatic All-on-6 protocols for full-arch restoration
• Protocol prostheses designed to restore full chewing function and aesthetics

Implant treatment typically spans 3 to 9 months. This includes the surgical phase, biological healing, and final prosthesis placement. Before surgery, patients receive a checklist covering medication use, dietary restrictions, and required diagnostic exams.

General and Esthetic Dentistry

Instituto Diamond offers treatments to improve smile aesthetics and oral hygiene. Dental whitening can achieve visible results in one to three sessions. The process involves protecting the gums and applying a whitening gel. A specialized light then activates the gel to remove deep stains.

For structural or cosmetic alignment, the clinic provides:

• Resin veneers for correcting minor tooth misalignments
• Dental contact lenses to improve tooth shape and color
• Self-ligating orthodontic braces for teeth straightening
• Orofacial harmonization using dermal fillers and botulinum toxin

Preventive care includes deep cleaning and scaling to manage plaque and tartar. Dentists use ultrasound and manual curettes, followed by polishing with a bicarbonate jet. Regular cleanings every six months help prevent gum inflammation and cavities.

Endodontics and Oral Health

Dr. Pedro Sodré performs specialized root canal treatments to save natural teeth affected by pulp infection. This procedure takes one or two sessions, depending on infection complexity. The workflow includes local anesthesia, tooth isolation, canal cleaning, and final sealing. Digital radiography ensures precise diagnosis and canal tracking during treatment.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

The clinic uses digital tools to improve the accuracy of dental planning. Diagnostic capabilities include periapical X-rays for detailed views of individual teeth and surrounding bone. Digital planning software helps design prosthetics and implants. Specialists work with several modern materials:

• Zirconia
• Feldspathic ceramics
• Modern composite resins

These technologies enable guided procedures, which reduces discomfort and speeds up treatment.

Services for International Patients

Instituto Diamond supports patients traveling to Brazil for dental care. Coordination for international visitors is available in English through the Bookimed platform. Patients receive structured guidance on post-procedure maintenance, including daily-care tips to prolong whitening and implant results.
