Greatest Smile Dentistry

The practice was launched by Alexandre Lombardi Ribeiro, a board-certified periodontist, and is operated by FERREIRA & RIBEIRO LLC. The listed team covers general, restorative, cosmetic, surgical and implant care.

Implant planning starts with a CT scan at the first consultation, which shows bone level and lets the team plan placement digitally. Surgery is planned on the computer first, and surgical guides are 3D printed through partner labs. A single implant takes about 40 minutes to place, with roughly 15 more minutes for each additional implant. Healing usually runs three to four months or longer, depending on how much bone graft is placed, and a post-operative visit follows six to eight weeks after placement. Crowns generally come back from the lab in about two weeks, though same-day fabrication is sometimes possible. Implant patients are advised to have check-ups every four to six months.

For patients replacing many teeth, the practice offers smile makeovers, which it describes as same-day teeth replacement with implant-supported dentures. Implant-supported dentures come in removable and fixed forms, including a full-arch fixed option. For single implants and less complex cases, a teeth-in-a-day protocol provides same-day temporary fixed teeth. The practice states that fixed implant-supported teeth restore chewing function up to 85%, compared with 25% for conventional dentures, and that removable implant-supported dentures restore function up to 65%. Conventional and partial dentures are also available.

Visits use several tools: a 3D animated patient education system to walk through treatment options, digital impressions, same-day crowns made with a digital system, a single tooth anesthesia system, a dental microscope for micro-surgery, a dental laser, and a camera that records before and after cases. Anesthesia and sedation options include local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation.

The practice describes its approach as transparent, educational and ethical, using current technology to make results faster and visits more comfortable. It says it believes in quality materials and quality results, and it shares video testimonials from patients on its website.
