About Smile Makers Group

Having previously worked at two of the largest dental clinics here on the US-Mexico border, Smile Makers’ founders have amassed more than two decades of clinical experience between them, helping thousands of North American patients transform their smiles and overall oral health with savings of up to 70% compared to back home.

Having carried out specialist training in the placement of dental implants, crowns and veneers, the team at this ultra-modern facility is able to help patients seeking minimally invasive smile makeovers, as well as full-arch or full mouth restorations with the placement of multiple implants onto which custom-made, fixed prosthetic teeth can be placed—putting a permanent smile back on the faces of edentulous patients.

The clinic has three well-equipped private treatment rooms, allowing dentists to provide a friendly, more personalized approach to both simple and complex cases. This also ensures that accurate diagnoses are made, with patients being presented with the best possible solutions following thorough oral health evaluations with state-of-the-art dental technology, such as CT scanning machines and 3D/panoramic x-rays.
