What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a surgery that is performed by a qualified professional where a fixed base is implanted in the jaw and replaces the old dentures, giving the patient more beauty and comfort.
After all, what can I do for free at the Dentist through Sus?
Do you want to know what you can do for free 100% at the dentist through the SUS? Come with us and find out more! Through SUS you can do much more than basic things like cleanings and assessments, the Brasil Sorridente program offers things like:
- endodontics;

However, although it is the right of every Brazilian to go to the dentist and have a dental implant or other procedure, the municipality where you live must allocate the funds for this. However, if your city does not have infrastructure or qualified professionals, you will be referred to another city in your region and will join a waiting list that follows the same criteria as a conventional SUS queue.

Although Brazilian people have a good habit of always taking good care of their teeth since they were children, unfortunately they are also subject to a series of oral diseases that can lead to serious oral problems.
Furthermore, the Brazilian Dental Association recommends that everyone go to the dentist at least every 6 months on a regular basis, however, not everyone has the financial means to go to the dentist and bear the costs of dental treatment, especially as in dental implant cases. In this sense, the SUS created the Brasil Sorridente program, which gives patients the free right to undergo a wide range of dental procedures.
So, now every Brazilian can go to the dentist and have their oral health taken care of by a professional.
After all, do I have the right to a dental implant?
Although a dentist in the SUS is a right for everyone, it is not enough to want to have a dental implant to be able to do so. Therefore, you must go to your health center or also known as ESF or PSF and take your personal documents and proof of address to schedule an evaluation with the responsible dentist.
Then, the dentist will evaluate your mouth and decide, based on SUS criteria, whether you are in line to have the dental implant you've been dreaming of.
Once approved, you enter the queue and need to wait until you are called.
