About Us

Hello! I'm Dr. Carla Raquel Orlandi, founder of Speed Dental Care USA and Speed Dental Care Brazil.

I’ve been a dentist for 28 years, specializing in aesthetic oral rehabilitation — a career dedicated not only to the care of my patients but also to social projects focused on underprivileged children and elderly people in both Brazil and the United States.

Four years ago, I moved to the United States with my family. I’ve been married to Maurício for 20 years, and we have two children: a 9-year-old girl and a 19-year-old young man who is now proudly attending the University of South Florida.
Today, I split my life between Brazil and the USA.

I’m passionate about cooking, hosting friends, and I have a deep love for animals — we are a family of six cats, all adopted here in the US! I’m also an active member of the Catholic community in Tampa, which brings me strength and inspiration.

In Florida, I’ve been working as a licensed Dental Hygienist for 3 years, and 2 years ago, I founded Speed Dental Care USA, bringing dental care to people with mobility limitations, such as those in nursing homes and hospitals. This mission of caring for others has always been what drives me.

Now, through Speed Dental Care Brazil, I have the joy of offering not only high-quality dental treatments, but also a warm, safe, and unforgettable experience for those who wish to transform their smiles while discovering the beauty of our country.

Welcome to the Speed family!
It will be a pleasure to take care of you.
