So I put off doing any dental work unless it was...

WORTH IT$7,000
So I put off doing any dental work unless it was absolutely necessary. Had not done any cosmetic or restorative work in at least 12 years. Since my dental insurance (had several in the past 12 years) have always been more of a joke than anything. I saved up some cash, did about six months of research and after my extensive vetting and research I fount this gem of a dental clinic in Brazil. Yes Brazil, the place know for plastic surgery, turns out they are absolutely phenomenal in dental procedures. Had a very favorable dollar to Brazilian Real exchange (1 U$ + 3.9 BR$) and paid about BR$ 27,000 (U$ 7,000).
So this is what I got done for 7K:
7 teeth needed root canals, including 3 molars and 2 pre-molars, and 2 teeth had calcified roots (took 6 hours on the molar and 3 hours on the pre-molar with this condition)
Had 7 full porcelain (full zirconia) crowns 5 new and 2 replacement.
6 front porcelain veneers (from canine to canine)
several cavities needed repair and all the existing old amalgam fillings needed replaced with the newer white resin fillings.
I arrived there on Friday the 20th of may and started work on the 21st of May 2016. They already offered the "day clinic" style, so I asked for the "whole week" clinic. So I basically closed this dental clinic with 3 specialists and two assistants for about 1 week, including Sat and Sunday. They worked extremely hard, 8 hours on Sat, 12 hours on Sunday and then on. They served me food every lunch, and if we stayed there till dinner they served me snacks as well.
After one wee, my life and longtime dream of having a beautiful smile came true. So take a look at the images and judge for yourself. Thanks to Moretti Dental Clinic in São José do Rip Preto, in São Paulo Brazil. Look them up online or P.M. me for their info.

Both Doctors (owners) were absolutely amazing. They worked their butts off to get all this work done in my timeframe (1 week). They could have not been any more professional, and super knowledgeable in their specialities (Implants and restorative dentistry). The Canal (Endo) specialist was the best I have ever worked with. Patient, loved what she did, and took all my pain away. Just amazing doctors.

Congratulations on getting the results you were hoping for. Do you think you'll return to get more work done with this dentist if needed?

Yes, absolutely. Matter of fact because I got a dental implant with a bone graph after it heals I should go back to get the permanent tooth put in. I did get the temp tooth that I should get it put in after 2 months but I'm already planning a return by September. There's no place in North America where you can get the type of service I got for the value I got.

Those veneers look fantastic. Do you have any more before and after pictures from other patients he's worked on? How come you came to the decision of going to this dentist?

Long story short, my sister-in-law best friend is a Endo specialist. So this whole thing was because she knew these dentists were artists. My wife went first, she just needed amalgam restorations and 2 porcelain crowns, but she confirmed these people are specialists in restoration. So I took the risk, I only had one chance, due to money and time. I couldn't be happier, these people are amazing and the lab they work with is also a compliment to their work. Because veneers are 50/50 dentist and lab.

About the more before and after I have mine, the dentist is very professional and told me he will not share before and after unless the customer wants to share them. I'm sure if I write I can get some more but, I saw many there and I can tell you they are simply put artists at what they do. I wanted "real" looking veneers, and I got exactly what I wanted.

I have been unhappy with my teeth for many years and I'm only 22 years old. I have seen A LOT of bad looking veneers which has really put me off getting them done. If there's any way you could get some more before and after pictures that would be great, these have to be some of the best looking veneers I have seen and I would definitely travel to Brazil from England to get them done.

And is your bite comfortable after so much work done?

You know I wasn't sure it was going to be, but it is no more than if I had done any procedures here like a canal. Even after the second day doing my intensive work it felt I got used to it. Didn't mind the pain anymore. Didn't mind getting anesthesia, and I actually started felling like I was helping the dentist speed up the process by not being so uncomfortable or awkward. All in all I think it's a great way of doing all at once. Everything seems to fit better since it was all put together at the same time.

It's was R$1,200 (about $350 dollars) each this included everything no hidden charges. Also this charge included a rush charge for the dentist and the lab. Since I had to get everything done in about 5 days.

I have to question this review if I'm being honest. The part where you said you done six months of "research" and decided on this clinic. Which suggests this clinic must have substantially more good reviews than others you have found. Yet I can't find a single review about this clinic online (the only one that comes up is this one). Which is a bit strange. So that doesn't add to me. Sorry to sound like a trouble maker...I just have a hard time accepting possible fake reviews as it can mislead someone into travelling and spending money on a clinic on the false pretences. Also the only posts and activity from you're profile in this website is for this clinic....which also looks a bit suspicious

With anything in this world you need to have the first right. Obviously this clinic also has not been here before because I'm the first. Look what I know is this: I got some phenomenal results and the pictures prove it. But maybe you will think the pictures are photoshopped right? I'm not selling anything, I researched this site for before and after pictures but never found anything I was like Wow that's amazing. So go or don't go I can care less, I'm simply showing my results and that there are great dentist out here that are not in Beverly Hills or on TV.

Sounds incredible and you look great!! I am excited about the prospect of getting work done at this clinic. I know things are different in Brazil but how were you able to get them to "close" the clinic for a whole week so they could work on you exclusively? It seems unlikely that when you arrived, they took x-rays, determined you needed a a ton of work and called all the clients they had booked for that week and rescheduled everyone. Did you send them x-rays taken in the U.S.? Did you know exactly what you were getting and how much it would cost before you got on the plane? Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I took a set of panoramic x-rays here in the U.S. I did this in Feb. sent them the x-rays and after I had a quote I worked out a the time I could have gone (end of May) so I gave them plenty of time to make a week available for me. Yes I knew that based on my X-ray how much work I needed. Like with anything it could have been more or less. I turned out the broke down all the numbers for me before I got on the plane (of course) so I knew the price of each root canal, restoration, venner, and crown. When I got there I opted to change two crowns that were not on the original estimate (for cosmetic purposes) and one tooth needed a canal that was not on the quote. So it was a little more but totally worth the additional work. I'm very reserved with my money, I don't trust dentist (based on past experiences I had through my life) so it was difficult for me to make this decision. Now I see it was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I'm willing to help, if you have questions and is serious about making the trip I'll give you my phone number and you can call me. I'll tell you exactly what I did and give you some pointers.
