Smile Now Dental & Facial Care is a premier cosmetic and restorative dental clinic located at Plaza San Francisco, Avenida Tulum, in the heart of Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. The clinic distinguishes itself in the competitive Cancun dental market by combining advanced dental implant and cosmetic dentistry with facial aesthetic medicine under one roof, offering patients a comprehensive approach to both oral and facial rejuvenation.
Smile Now holds accreditation from the ADM (Mexican Dental Association) and operates the SMILE NOW iLab — the first intelligent dental laboratory in Quintana Roo, harnessing AI-driven diagnostics and digital workflows to produce customized crowns, bridges, and implant prostheses with exceptional precision. The clinic's Medical Director, Dr. Andrea Gabriela Peñuela, is a specialist in orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and implant dentistry, leading a multi-specialist team capable of handling the full spectrum of dental and facial aesthetic treatments.
Treatments & Specialties
Smile Now Dental & Facial Care provides a comprehensive menu covering both preventive and advanced dental disciplines. Core services include dental implants, orthodontic treatment (braces and aligners), dental crowns, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, root canal treatment, bone grafting, gum surgery, and dental bonding. The clinic also offers sleep apnea treatment, mouth guards, and complete smile makeover packages. In a unique differentiator for a dental practice in Cancun, Smile Now extends into facial aesthetic medicine via Dr. Nicole Padilla (Aesthetic Medicine Physician), providing facial rejuvenation treatments alongside dental care — a truly integrated aesthetics offering.
Technology & Facilities
The SMILE NOW iLab is Quintana Roo's first AI-powered dental laboratory, enabling digital case design, computer-guided implant planning, and same-session or rapid-turnaround restorations. This in-house laboratory significantly reduces the time patients spend waiting for crowns, veneers, and implant prosthetics — a critical advantage for dental tourists visiting Cancun on a limited timeline. Digital workflows encompass AI diagnostics, CBCT imaging support, and CAD/CAM fabrication, placing Smile Now at the technological forefront of dental care in Cancun and across the Yucatan Peninsula.
