NOVA Dental Institute: more details about the clinic
Portugal, Guia
NOVA Dental Institute is a medical facility in Albufeira, Portugal. It operates from a single building with three specialized departments. The institute combines dental services with psychology, nutrition, and speech therapy.
Accreditations and Regulatory Standards
The institute is registered with Portuguese health authorities. It holds ERS license E161885 21676/2022, which confirms it meets national requirements for medical practice. Its corporate registration is NIPC 516759396.
Dental Medicine and Pediatric Care
The dental department treats adults and children for general and corrective oral health. Specialists provide consultations and create long-term treatment plans. Pediatric care is a dedicated service area with treatments tailored for younger patients.
The dental team includes:
- Dr. Gonçalo Silva – general dental medicine
- Dr. João Barreto Santos – general dentistry, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry
Dr. João Barreto Santos handles orthodontic treatments. These correct teeth alignment and jaw positioning.
Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Diagnostics
NOVA Dental Institute uses data-driven technology for facial rejuvenation and skin health. The center combines aesthetic assessments with clinical analysis to treat acne and early aging signs. Dedicated events like HIFU Day highlight these services.
For diagnostics, the institute uses the Skin Analyzer system. This device reads deep skin layers to detect issues invisible to the eye. The report covers:
- Hydration and oil levels
- Pigment spots and dilated blood vessels
- Enlarged pores and irregular skin texture
- Active or inflammatory acne
- Fine lines and tissue elasticity
Clinicians use these images to build a personalized care plan for each patient.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Technology
The institute offers HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) for skin firming without surgery. This technology sends ultrasound energy into deep tissue layers. It stimulates natural collagen production, so facial contours and skin density improve over time.
HIFU is a needle-free alternative to traditional facelifts. Since there are no incisions, there is no scarring. Results develop gradually as the body builds new collagen.
Services for International Patients
The facility treats international visitors and Algarve residents. Staff provide consultations in English and Portuguese. This ensures clear communication about treatment plans for non-local patients.

My son chipped a tooth so we arrived without an appointment. The receptionist was super friendly and understanding. They had a cancelled appointment so managed to get him seen straight away. The team were very professional and efficient and did a terrific job. Great English speakers all round and great value too. We were both thrilled with the work they did. Thank you!

Top-notch service. I’m grateful for the quick availability and the care provided during emergency treatment for my son’s appointment. I was traveling for vacation at the time, and they were flawless in solving the problem. 🙏🙏

I am very satisfied with Clínica Dentária NOVA. I would like to highlight the kindness, professionalism, and the excellent follow-up throughout my invisible orthodontic treatment (Invisalign). I’m very happy with the final results and I recommend them without hesitation.

My experience at Nova Dental was excellent! From the very first appointment, I felt welcomed by the entire team. The clinic is modern, very well equipped, and gives a strong sense of trust.
Dr. João Barreto was extremely professional, attentive, and careful. He explained all the procedures clearly, always concerned about my comfort and well-being.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality service, with a human and dedicated follow-up. I’m sure I’ll come back whenever I need to!

My son is 6 years old and thanks to Dr. João and Inês he’s already counting the days to go to the next appointment, with zero fear of going to the dentist—I just have to thank you… They are EXCELLENT.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart 💖

Kindness and professionalism. Even when we were on vacation and had a setback so many kilometers from home, I felt at home. Thank you for the excellent work and responsiveness.

Excellent clinic with a variety of modern and innovative techniques & technologies.
A medical team that is highly qualified and experienced in different areas/specialties (implant dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, dental aesthetics, etc.).
Professionals who answer all questions and don’t stop until the expected result is achieved, no matter how difficult it is. Assistants (Daniela & Inês) are super friendly and attentive.
I’m very satisfied!
I recommend it!

Fabulous service here at Nova. Took a chance as needed dental treatment while abroad. Cannot rate this institute highly enough. Pristine environment, friendly professional staff who speak excellent English and provide a first class service at a very reasonable cost. Have visited twice and same experience both times. Wonderful dentist Joao Santus and assistant Danela. Another lady on first visit was equally great but sadly don’t know her name. If you need a dentist abroad it can be worrying but Nova will definitely do their best to make you at ease. Very happy 😀
