About

What this clinic actually does.

International Smiles is a holistic, multispecialty dental clinic located in Medellín, Colombia, founded in 2012 by Dr. Adriana Castaño, a dentist trained and board-certified at Nova Southeastern University in the United States. The clinic was established with a clear mission: to provide American Dental Association (ADA) standard care at affordable prices in a welcoming, spa-like environment. Located inside the Balance Center in El Poblado, Medellín, International Smiles has become one of the city's most recognized dental tourism destinations, serving patients from the United States, Canada, and Europe.

International Smiles distinguishes itself through its "one patient at a time" philosophy, offering each visitor undivided attention from a bilingual dental team. The clinic follows CDC protocols, ADA standards, and International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) guidelines, including certified safe mercury amalgam removal. With 7 dental chairs, an in-house laboratory, and a comprehensive team of specialists, the clinic delivers efficient, high-quality dental care that saves international patients up to 70% compared to US prices.

International Smiles takes particular pride in its cosmetic and implant cases, with extensive before-and-after documentation showcasing transformative results.

Technology & Facilities

International Smiles operates from a modern, spa-like facility inside the Balance Center in El Poblado, Medellín. The clinic features 7 fully equipped dental chairs and an in-house dental laboratory — a significant advantage that reduces turnaround times for crowns, veneers, and prosthetics, allowing international patients to complete treatments in fewer visits.

The clinic's technology and equipment include:

  • Digital X-Ray Systems — Low-radiation imaging for accurate diagnosis with instant results
  • In-House Laboratory — On-site fabrication of crowns, veneers, and prosthetics for faster completion times
  • Sedation Equipment — Safe, monitored conscious sedation for comfortable procedures
  • IAOMT-Certified Protocols — Specialized equipment for safe mercury amalgam removal including protective barriers and filtration
  • Sterilization Systems — Hospital-grade sterilization following CDC infection control guidelines

The facility is designed to feel more like a wellness spa than a traditional dental office, helping patients feel relaxed throughout their treatment experience in Medellín.

The clinic accepts VISA and Mastercard credit cards as well as cash in USD, CAD, or Colombian Pesos, making payment convenient for international visitors. Advanced booking enables the team to coordinate multispecialty treatments efficiently, and the in-house lab dramatically reduces waiting times between appointments.
