CARLOS MORAIS

Endodontics Department

My name is Carlos Morais. I have been a dentist since 2006 when I graduated from Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde from University Pessoa in Porto. I have been part of White Clinic’s team since 2007, the same year that I did a post-graduate course in prosthetics at the Amial (Porto) course center. Even though my specialty is Endodontics, as White Clinic’s focus is oral rehabilitation, I felt the need to improve my knowledge in implantology and therefore in 2008 I attended a postgraduate course at Same Day Solutions. The same year at the International University of Cataluña, I began my Endodontics Masters and completed it in 2010. Since then I have dedicated my practice to Endodontics, not only at the clinic but also as a teacher for courses at EndoAcademy.

I have had the opportunity to hold presentations at several national and international congresses, as well as being the author of posters and scientific articles in the field of Endodontics.

ALESSANDRA CURTO 

Orthodontics Department

My name is Alessandra Curto. I completed my dentistry degree in Italy at the University of Bari in 1989. Becoming a dentist runs in the family, my parents and grandparents were dentists. . After twelve years’ practice at my own clinic in Italy, my life choices led me to practice in Lisbon, where I chose to dedicate myself exclusively to orthodontics, which has always been my passion.

My first steps in orthodontics were taken at a course run by Dr Genome in Rome. He taught me the latest principles of application of forces. After that, I did a practical course at Tweed Foundation in Arizona. This was followed by a course at the University of Napoli in orthodontic diagnosis and TMJ pathology. I also did a postgraduate diploma in orthodontic diagnosis and TMJ pathology at the University of Napoli. The seminars with Doctors Roth, Mc Laughing(??) and Ricketts were enriching. Internships in TMJ pathology at New York University with Dr Gelb and periodontal surgery in Boston with Dr Nevins were a step forward to include articulation and osteopathic support in my diagnosis. In addition, I did a course in lingual technique with Dr Scuzzo in Rome. I became certified in the Invisalign technique in 2005 and obtained a Masters in Damon System in 2012; both considered the most innovative techniques to date. I have been part of the White Clinic team since 2002 where I am in charge of the orthodontics department, essentially following cases in adults and complex rehabilitations. So far, after 27 years’ experience, I have treated over 2,000 cases successfully.

CATARINA RODRIGUES

Surgery and Oral Rehabilitation department

My name is Catarina and I completed my masters degree in Dental Medicine in 2016 at the Faculty of Dentistry, Univesity of Lisbon. My masters thesis was about implantology. Shortly after, I joined the White Clinic team as part of the Surgery and Oral Rehabilitation department.

For as long as I remember I have wanted to be a dentist and my passion makes me want to learn more each day, with the ultimate goal of performing high quality treatments for all my patients. Thus, since the early years of my masters degree I have attended several scientific conferences and hands-on courses.

In WHITE CLINIC, the team work, the dynamism, the most advanced technology and tecniques that we use in all fields of dentistry, allows me to become a better dentist every day. Studying and documenting the most complex and interdisciplinary cases in great scientific detail have contributed hugely to my dental education. In addiction to this I fully intend to continue to invest in my education with the objetive of continually incresing my knowledge and keeping up with the latest technologies.
