Summary

Clínica Médico Dentária Peter Nielsen Lda is an established dental clinic near Fórum Algarve shopping centre in Faro, operated by Dr. Peter Nielsen, a PhD-qualified dentist trained at the University of Copenhagen who also taught at the university. The clinic emphasises preventive dentistry in line with Scandinavian principles and uses digital X-ray and an air-abrasion system as alternatives to traditional drilling. Services include preventive dentistry, aesthetic medicine, periodontology, oral surgery, implantology, and orthodontics. English is the working language with the principal clinician. The clinic is listed on LinkedIn and in the Algarve Portal expat directory. No ERS or OMD numbers are published.

Two addresses appear in sources: 'Praceta Agostinho Ferreira Chaves 5b' (official website, GPS confirmed) and 'Urbanização Horta das Figuras Lote 33-lj Z, São Pedro, 8005-328 Faro' (clinicasdentarias.net directory). These likely refer to the same location approached from different sides, or one is outdated — the official website address is used.
