- Online consultations: available
- Workplace: Brazil, Blumenau, Dr. Fernando Giovanella Clinic
- Specialist at the clinic in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Implant Dentistry, with an approach built around the FaceFirst concept (planning starts with the face).
- Developed SkinGuide®: CT scan becomes a 3D model for virtual simulation and a 3D-printed physical replica of the bone for hands-on verification before surgery.
- Teaches surgeons and dentists in Brazil and abroad on advanced zygomatic implant techniques, including Zygoma 2.0 and All-on-4 protocols.
- Supports full-arch fixed teeth with zygomatic implants combined with All-on-4, including options for sedation by an anesthesiology medical team.
Dr. Fernando Giovanella is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and implant dentist. He developed the FaceFirst approach and SkinGuide method for zygomatic implants. Dr. Giovanella uses CT scans to create 3-D printed bone replicas for pre-surgical rehearsal. This protocol allows for full-arch rehabilitation without bone grafting.
- Author of Zygoma 2.0 — The New Age of Zygomatic Implants.
- Published the FaceFirst planning approach in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
- Coordinates the Implant Dentistry specialization program at IOA Blumenau.
- Performs guided surgery using 3-D simulations and custom resin templates.

Qualifications
Dr. Fernando Giovanella specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He focuses on zygomatic implants, which are long implants placed in the cheekbone for patients with severe bone loss. Dr. Giovanella developed the SkinGuide® method to improve surgical precision. He also wrote the textbook Zygoma 2.0 – The New Age of Zygomatic Implants.
Specialization and Surgical Techniques
Dr. Giovanella performs fixed full-arch rehabilitation using the All-on-4 protocol combined with zygomatic implants. This approach allows patients to receive fixed teeth without traditional bone grafting. He uses the FaceFirst approach to begin treatment by analyzing facial proportions. Furthermore, this method ensures the new teeth align with the natural facial structure.
Dr. Giovanella uses digital workflows to increase safety and predictability during surgery. He converts CT scans into 3D virtual simulations to determine exact implant positions. Additionally, he produces 3D-printed physical replicas of the patient's bone. These replicas allow him to rehearse the procedure before the actual surgery begins.
Dr. Giovanella provides several sedation options for patient comfort. These include oral sedation for shorter procedures and intravenous sedation for complex spinal reconstruction or facial surgeries. A medical anesthesiology team monitors heart rate and oxygen levels during these operations. He also performs immediate loading, which attaches a fixed prosthesis shortly after implant placement.
Academic Contributions and Teaching
Dr. Giovanella is the coordinator of the Implant Dentistry specialization program at IOA Blumenau. He also teaches other dentists through his ZYGOMA 2.0 online training program. This curriculum covers virtual planning and advanced zygomatic implant techniques. Consequently, Dr. Giovanella is a regular speaker at professional events, including the INN Congress.
His research and methods have reached a global audience through professional journals. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry published his FaceFirst approach. As the creator of SkinGuide®, he uses custom resin guides to transfer digital plans into the mouth. He continues to lead dental education through advanced courses and clinical workshops.
