Quick summary of this article+
Dr. Cléo Salustiano's office in Mooca (Rua Hipódromo, 1141, near Bresser-Mooca metro station) is open Monday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., by appointment via WhatsApp — including Saturdays, Sundays and evenings. It isn't a 24-hour on-call service: it's the office's regular schedule, extended for people who can't see a dentist during business hours. If you're in pain, the first step is to message on WhatsApp for guidance and to check for an available slot.
If you work regular business hours, you know the dilemma: the dentist's schedule tends to match your workday exactly. The result is putting off the cleaning, the assessment or that discomfort that's been going on for weeks — until it turns into a bigger problem.
In Mooca, Dr. Cléo Salustiano's office (CRO-SP 170844) has extended hours: Monday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., always by appointment. That includes Saturdays, Sundays and evening slots after work. She sees patients in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
In this article, we explain how appointments work at these times, who benefits most and how to book — including when you're in pain.

How extended-hours appointments work
Saturday, Sunday and evening appointments work exactly like any other time: you book ahead via WhatsApp and come in at a scheduled time. This isn't a 24-hour on-call service or an emergency room — it's the office's regular schedule, extended to fit the routine of people who can't come during business hours.
All treatments the office offers can be done at these times, depending on each case's plan: initial assessment, dental cleaning, fillings, whitening, composite veneers and follow-ups. If you're in pain, it's best to message on WhatsApp first: once you describe what you're feeling, we'll advise on first steps and check for an available slot.
Sunday slots and the latest evening slots depend on availability each week. That's why confirmation is always done via WhatsApp when you book.

What to consider before booking
When booking an evening or weekend appointment, the same care applies as for any visit: arrive a few minutes early, bring recent exams or X-rays (if you have them) and let us know about medications you take and relevant health conditions. This makes the assessment more complete and the visit time better used.
If you're coming in for pain or an injury, describe the situation on WhatsApp in as much detail as possible — when it started hurting, what makes it worse, whether there's swelling. Not every case needs immediate care, and the right guidance avoids an unnecessary trip.
Finally, extended hours are there to fit your routine — not to replace regular follow-up. Keeping up with check-ups is still the simplest way to avoid emergencies.
