Dra. Cléo Salustiano Dental care for Brazilians living abroad – Dr. Cléo Salustiano, in Mooca
Many Brazilians who live abroad use a visit to family to take care of their smile. At the office of Dr. Cléo Salustiano (CRO-SP 170844) in Mooca, São Paulo, treatment can be planned before the trip, grouped into the time you are in the city and followed up after you return.
Appointments run every day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sundays and holidays included, which helps fit sessions around the rest of your visit. Care is private, by appointment, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If a family member or friend is a foreign visitor, see also our page on care for international patients.
From the first message to the flight home
- Before the trip: message and photo pre-assessmentMessage us on WhatsApp with the dates of your visit and what you would like. Send photos of your smile (front and both sides) or of the problem. Dr. Cléo gives initial guidance, which does not replace an exam but helps you understand whether the treatment fits the time you have.
- Before the trip: calendar planningWith your dates, the team proposes how to organise the sessions during your time in São Paulo. It is clear from the start what fits in the visit and what depends on healing or later steps.
- On arrival: in-person assessmentBook the first appointment for the first days of your stay. It includes the full exam and confirms the plan, which only becomes final after the in-person assessment.
- During the visit: grouped sessionsSessions are booked across the days, evenings and weekends included, depending on the schedule. Whenever it is clinically possible, steps are grouped to reduce the number of visits. When a step needs an interval, the plan shows what is left for your next visit.
- Before flying back: final appointmentA final check, with aftercare instructions for the time you will be away.
- After you return: follow-upOn WhatsApp you can send photos and ask questions. If something needs an exam, Dr. Cléo advises whether it can wait for your next visit or whether to see a dentist where you live. Regular maintenance can be arranged around your future trips to Brazil.
What fits in each visit depends on the treatment and on your case, and is only defined after the assessment.
What helps with planning
- Lead time
- Write as soon as you know your dates. With the plan set before the trip, sessions are simpler to organise.
- Time each treatment needs
- Some treatments fit into one or two visits; others involve biological timelines, such as the healing of an implant, that cannot be shortened.
- Previous exams and reports
- If you have X-rays or reports from dentists where you live, send or bring them: they help with planning.
- Hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Open every day, Sundays and holidays included, to fit sessions around the rest of your trip.
- Languages
- Care in Portuguese, English and Spanish, useful if family members have lived abroad for a long time or if you have a foreign spouse.
