About the clinic
Apicoectomy at Odontoliuzzi Dentistry and Health in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a specialized microsurgical procedure to save teeth with persistent root infections. The clinic is an American Dental Association (ADA) member and received the WhatClinic Patient Service Award in 2024 for its care of international patients. Treatment is performed by specialists using advanced imaging and painless anesthesia techniques to help patients avoid tooth extraction.
Advanced Endodontic Care
An apicoectomy focuses on the tip of the tooth root and the surrounding periapical tissues. Dr. Natalia Morales leads the endodontic treatments with a focus on humanized care for patients with dental anxiety. She has spent over 10 years helping patients who fear dental work. The clinic treats 3,000+ patients every year from Europe, the US, and Canada.
Painless Technology and Comfort
The clinic uses the Morpheus computerized system to provide painless anesthesia. This technology numbs only the specific tooth being treated. It helps patients avoid the typical numbness in the lips and tongue after surgery. For those with high anxiety, conscious sedation is available to create a calm, spa-like environment.
Clinic Facilities and Recovery
Odontoliuzzi Dentistry and Health features an on-site radiology center and its own prosthetic laboratory. These tools allow for fast diagnosis and same-day restorative options using CAD/CAM technology. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Recovery is simple, though patients should avoid chewing on the treated tooth for a short time and use prescribed anti-inflammatories.
Procedure Timeline
- Simple cases often finish in one session.
- Complex infections may require two or three visits.
- Follow-up checks happen after one to two weeks.
- On-site lab work speeds up the final restoration process.

Odontoliuzzi Dentistry and Health: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro
ODONTOLIUZZI was created from a dream of implementing humanized custumer service. These differentiated services could bring patients a new vision of going to the doctor. The founder for love of the profession and, after observing how much dentistry and aesthetic can change the life of a person in all directions, directed the focus to oral and body rehabilitation treatment because they were closely linked to their happiness, and therefore felt the need to build an integrated clinic so that the procedures were done in one place, avoiding inconvenience and loss of time and enabling this kind of service. The clinic´s mission is to do different. Dentists want to show people that going to the dentist can be fun, relaxing, welcoming, and motivating. The clinic´s vision is an integrated clinic with all the areas of dentistry, plastic surgery, cosmetics, state-of-the-art equipment, laboratory, and radiology to perform differentiated treatments, and the clinic´s value is the personalized treatment for both patients and service providers so that they feel in the environment something comfortable and desirable, team spirit must continuously be developed for the well being of all.

It is hard to put into words just how impressed I have been with this clinic. My case was not straightforward as I needed seven old crowns replaced along with new veneers and several lower crooked teeth corrected. The work involved four very long sessions in the chair but the results have exceeded every expectation.
Dra. Natalia deserves special mention. She has been extraordinary throughout this process, combining precision, patience and artistry in a way that is truly remarkable. Her attention to detail on my two upper front teeth, creating smaller crowns and layering them with veneers to achieve natural translucency, was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning it was clear she had both the skill and the vision to manage a complex case and her commitment to the best possible outcome never wavered.
I would also like to thank Dra. Andrezza and Dr. Renato, who each brought their own expertise and care to different stages of the treatment. Together, with Dra. Natalia’s leadership, they formed an outstanding clinical team. Every step felt carefully considered and executed with professionalism and collaboration.
Beyond the dentists, the wider clinical team were excellent, including assistants and nurses who were kind, reassuring and attentive at every visit. Their warmth and efficiency made the whole experience far easier and more comfortable than I expected.
The use of the latest technology was another reassurance of excellence. The initial suggestion of some root canals worried me at first, but they carried out two in about an hour with no pain or discomfort during or after. Truly incredible.
This has been a long journey, but I am deeply grateful to the Odonto Liuzzi team. If you are considering treatment here, you can be confident you will be in the very best hands. And that is something to smile about.

I came from the USA to do my dental work in Rio. I absolutely love this practice. They were so kind, caring, professional I will be sending all of my friends over there that need work. Thank you to all of you ❤️ I was so unhappy with my smile before I went there now I can’t stop smiling. 😊 😀😀😀😀😀

As someone who’s notoriously picky and hard to please, finding a dental clinic that meets my high standards is no small feat. But OdontoLiuzzi Dental Clinic in Rio de Janeiro didn’t just meet my expectations—they shattered them, delivering an experience far superior to the veneers I previously got in the USA.
From the moment I walked in, Gil, the receptionist, impressed me with her organization and helpfulness. Her warm, efficient manner put me at ease right away, and her attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly. Navigating appointments and paperwork can often be a hassle, but Gil made it effortless and pleasant.
The real magic happened when I saw the porcelain veneers crafted by the incredibly talented Kelly. I was floored by how natural and stunning they looked! The veneers are flawless, perfectly enhancing my smile in a way I didn’t think was possible. Kelly’s dedication and skill are truly extraordinary, and I’m endlessly grateful for her meticulous work.
Ceiça, the dentist assistant, deserves a huge shout-out as well. Her professionalism and attentiveness made each visit comfortable and reassuring. She was always there to assist, providing a seamless experience that reflected the clinic’s high standards.
And then there's Dr. Andressa—an absolute marvel! She is the epitome of professionalism, combined with a fun and engaging personality. Her meticulous attention to detail and passion for her craft are unparalleled. She took the time to understand my concerns and desires, crafting a treatment plan that was both personalized and precise. Dr. Andressa transformed what I thought was an already good smile into something truly spectacular.
I cannot recommend OdontoLiuzzi enough. They’ve provided me with a level of care and expertise that’s unmatched, making my veneers here in Rio far superior to those I got in the States. To Gil, Kelly, Ceiça, and especially Dr. Andressa—thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible work and the wonderful experience. My smile has never looked better!
With heartfelt appreciation

I live in Australia and went to Rio for holidays/business. Decided to go with this clinic due to their reviews, quality (from Instagram) and price. From the get go, the customer service was incredible, they even offer to pick me up from the hotel. Words cannot express enough how happy I am with the whole experience. Every single staff member was just incredibly kind, professional and ALWAYS tried to make your experience as pleasant as possible. I had done a crown, 6 porcelain veneers, 3 fillings, whitening, all in 5 appointments.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION IF YOU ARE FROM OVERSEAS:
- They speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.
- The clinic is located in a safe building.
- They have a lab where they make their own veneers (incredibly high quality).
- Don't use credit card if you can avoid it so the exchange rate doesn't make it more expensive for you.
- They won't stop until you are satisfied with the work.
To Gil (Receptionist), Thiago (CEO), Keli (Mastermind who made my veneers), Ceiça (Dental assistant) and Andreza (My superhero)... MUITO OBRIGADO, GRACIAS TOTALES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Jan 2020 - I was traveling in Rio and needed some dental work. Sadly, the quality was poor. 6 months later, the crown they put on had developed a hole in it, as you can see in the photo. I had to pay $1500 in the US to get it fixed properly.
On the other hand, the dental lenses I had done, are still in great shape as of Nov 2024, and I keep getting compliments on my teeth.
The clinic 3D scanned my teeth, and also printed the veneers. Great work, though not perfect - one incisor lens ended up visibly sticking out compared to the other, despite my repeated requests to adjust it. I don't think the language barrier was the problem because I had talked to the dentist lady through an interpreter (Thiago from the front desk, very nice guy).
Lastly, their appointment times were never honored. Every time I showed up, I had to wait 1-2 hours. This was back in 2020 though, so maybe things have improved since then.
Overall, I *would* recommend this clinic, seeing from the response to my review that they really care. Unfortunately I had left Rio due to Covid in Feb 2020, and I couldn't come back for a fix. The crown hole only became visible a few months later.
