Dr Cristina da Naia completed her degree in dentistry in Spain, and she returned to South Africa to begin her professional journey at The Thinc Clinic.
Since January 2024, Cristina has felt privileged to work with a diverse range of patients, exploring different aspects of dentistry while continuing to develop her clinical interests and passions. She completed the Bridge Programme in 2023 and, in 2024, had the opportunity to present at the Battle of the Speakers.
For Cristina, dentistry is much more than clinical work — it’s about connection, trust, and transformation. She approaches each case holistically, building relationships based on understanding and ethics, and always listening carefully to what each patient truly wants and needs. Every treatment journey becomes a shared experience, where care, precision, and well-being come together.
Dentistry, to Cristiana, is a tool for empowerment — helping people leave the chair not just with a healthier smile, but with renewed self-confidence.
