Smile design with intention.
Dr. Alejandra Grueso leads the cosmetic dentistry consultation, supported by a team that coordinates each stage of care.
What to expect
First we understand your smile. Then we discuss options.
Smile design is not a one-size-fits-all package. Your consultation helps review proportions, function, oral health and expectations before discussing a plan.
- Specialist consultation and radiographs.
- Clear explanation of alternatives, limits and care.
- Personalized estimate after diagnosis.
The process
The path to your new smile in four steps.
We evaluate
A specialist reviews your case, takes radiographs and explains the diagnosis.
You decide
With enough information, you discuss options and the next step.
We bring your new smile to life
With an agreed plan, we carry out your treatment based on your individual needs.
Seven ways to design your smile.
From small changes to tooth edges to a design with ceramic veneers. Explore each package, then discuss which approach makes sense for you.
