A propos Smile Makers Group

Smile Makers Group (SMG) brings a fresh, small-team feel to Los Algodones, with three private treatment rooms, CT/3D imaging and an implant-forward approach led by Dr. Paola Duque, an ADA member and ITI-certified dentist.

New-Build Boutique Practice Three Blocks from the Border

 

Having cut their teeth at some of the largest clinics in town, the founders now favor a personal, quiet setting where complex cases can still move quickly. Treatments include full-arch All-on-X, Straumann®, MIS® and Cortex® implants, and smile makeovers with e.max® veneers and zirconia crowns.

 

Why Travelers Pick SMG

 

  • Founder-led, credentialed team: Directed by Dr. Duque, with ADA and ITI credentials, and supported by Dr. Claudia Florez, who focuses on endodontics, plus a seasoned assisting crew.
  • Purpose-built space: Three private operatories keep visits focused, while CT scanning and panoramic/3D x-rays help map predictable timelines.
  • Implant specialization: From single implants to All-on-X and overdentures, with brand choices including Straumann®, MIS® and Cortex® matched to case needs and budget.
  • Easy access: The clinic is three blocks from the Andrade Port of Entry. Patients can walk in from the US side or use the clinic’s free pick-up service. Yuma, Arizona airport transfers are also available.

 

Treatments Patients Book Most

 

  • Implants and full arch: Standard titanium implants, implant-only or implant with abutment and crown, implant-retained overdentures with 2–4 implants, All-on-X with fixed bridges, bone regeneration and sinus lifts.
  • Crowns and veneers: Zirconia and PFM crowns, e.max® porcelain veneers, temporaries and smile design.
  • Endodontics: Root canal therapy, including post and core, coordinated with crown timelines.
  • Dentures: Acrylic or resin full dentures, immediate or healing sets, flexible or metal partials and flippers.
  • Orthodontics and surgery: Braces and IV-sedation cases with an anesthesiologist when indicated.
  • Diagnostics: CT/3D and panoramic imaging as needed for complex treatment planning.

 

Getting There: Border-Smart Directions

 

  • Park and walk, fastest option: Most visitors park at the Quechan lot in Andrade, California and walk three blocks to the clinic area. SMG can meet you at the pedestrian gate on request.
  • Free transfers: Complimentary pick-ups from other Algodones entry points and transfers to and from Yuma International Airport, about 20 minutes away, can be arranged.
  • Rideshares and taxis: On the Mexico side, short trips are easy via local taxis. Your confirmation includes the GPS pin and doorway landmarks.

 

Planning & Booking

 

Your Dental Departures advisor locks in chair time, shares a written, line-item estimate and sequences steps, such as root canal plus crown in one trip when appropriate. There is no booking fee.

 

FAQs

 

Do you offer treatment warranties or guarantees?

 

Yes. Lab-made restorations, including crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures, are covered for a defined period, and select implant components may be included. Coverage typically requires following written aftercare, attending maintenance checks and using a night guard if prescribed.

Before any work starts, you’ll receive SMG’s current written warranty for your plan, including the term, inclusions and exclusions, such as smoking or missed recalls, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

 

How do I reach the clinic from the US side?

 

Most patients park in the Quechan lot in Andrade, California and walk across. SMG sits roughly three blocks from the pedestrian gate.

If you prefer assistance, the team can meet you at the border and guide you in. Arriving by air? Ask about complimentary transfers from Yuma International Airport, about 20 minutes from the clinic.

 

Which payment methods can I use?

 

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards. Larger implant or full-arch plans may allow bank transfers.

Your Dental Departures advisor will confirm the specific card brands, any processor fees and whether a deposit is needed to reserve surgical or lab time for your dates.

 

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

 

Spanish is standard, and English assistance is available.

Ask for bilingual consent forms and aftercare instructions if you prefer English throughout the visit.

 

Can you complete a root canal and crown in one stay?

 

Often, yes. A straightforward root canal is typically organized over 1–3 days.

If you add a post/core and a permanent crown, such as zirconia or porcelain, plan around 3–5 days total to allow for lab fabrication and a proper try-in. Your schedule can group steps into fewer, longer visits when that is clinically sound.

 

Are implants and final crowns possible in one trip?

 

Most single-tooth implants are two-stage. Visit 1 includes diagnostics and implant placement, plus grafting or a sinus lift if needed. Healing, called osseointegration, follows.

Visit 2 includes the abutment and final crown, allowing a few days for the lab. For All-on-X, expect a similar phased plan, with temporaries discussed in advance.

 

Do you provide free pick-ups or airport transfers?

 

Yes. Border pick-ups around the Algodones gates can be arranged, and Yuma, Arizona airport transfers are available at no charge.

Your confirmation includes the meeting point, driver details and timing so your arrival is stress-free.
