Invisalign en Instituto Oral Premium (Dentista 24 Horas)

Instituto Oral Premium, operating as Dentista 24 Horas, is a private dental clinic in the Savassi neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Jimmy Príncipe Brito de Sá, it runs as a round-the-clock urgent-care center for dental emergencies. The clinic has a team of 11 dentists across various specialties.

Accreditations and Professional Team

The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which confirms compliance with quality and safety standards in dental care. The team of 11 licensed professionals includes specialists who also hold academic positions:

• Dr. Jimmy Príncipe – specialist in implantology, oral surgery, and endodontics.
• Prof. Dr. Rogério Heládio Lopes Motta – professor specializing in surgery and implants.
• Prof. Hebertt Chavese – professor and specialist in endodontics.

All doctors are registered with the Regional Dental Council of Minas Gerais (CRO-MG).

Dental Specialties and Emergency Care

The Urgências Odontológicas 24 horas service handles urgent cases at any hour. This department focuses on rapid pain relief and preventing acute conditions from worsening – such as wisdom tooth swelling. Specialists work day and night to perform emergency extractions and stabilizing treatments.

Endodontics and Root Canal Therapy

Specialists perform Tratamento de Canal to remove infected or damaged dental pulp while preserving the natural tooth. The clinic uses Microscopia Odontológica (microscopy) for these procedures. This improves accuracy during cleaning and sealing. Dr. Jimmy Príncipe also leads professional training in Endodontia Mecanizada, a method using automated tools for more efficient canal preparation.

Oral Rehabilitation and Implantology

The clinic offers Implantes Dentários using titanium posts to support fixed or removable prosthetics. The rehabilitation department also specializes in protocol dentures for full upper or lower arch replacement. Emax crowns are used to restore teeth after root canal therapy, bringing back both bite strength and a natural appearance.

Orthodontics and Aesthetics

The clinic offers several options for tooth alignment and smile enhancement:

• Invisalign systems – transparent, removable aligners planned through digital mapping.
• Fixed and removable orthodontic appliances (Aparelhos Fixos e Móveis).
• Porcelain veneers and dental contact lenses (Lentes de Contato).
• Professional laser teeth whitening (Clareamento Dental) to remove pigments from coffee, smoking, or aging.

Specialists also perform Harmonização Orofacial to improve facial and smile symmetry.

Pediatric Dental Care

The pediatric department treats children with a focus on comfort and safety. For anxious patients or complex treatments, the clinic offers sedation performed by a specialized anesthesiologist alongside the pediatric dentist. The team also performs ulectomies – a procedure to remove excess gum tissue when it blocks a child's tooth from erupting.

Diagnostic Technology and Sedation

The clinic has several digital imaging platforms for accurate treatment planning. These tools let dentists visualize bone structure and tooth positioning in detail before surgery or orthodontic care:

• Cone Beam CT Scan for 3D imaging of the jaw and teeth.
• CEREC Omnicam for high-resolution digital scanning and impressions.
• Panoramic and Periapical X-ray systems available 24 hours a day.

Patients with dental anxiety or those needing long surgeries can choose nitrous oxide sedation or intravenous (IV) sedation. Both methods help patients stay relaxed while the clinical team monitors them throughout the procedure.
