Stained, chipped, misaligned or worn teeth? Our board-certified cosmetic dentists combine high-end dental technology and world-class facilities to give you a healthy, natural-looking smile — at a fraction of U.S. prices.
WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY?
Improve the look of your smile — without compromising its health
Cosmetic (or esthetic) dentistry is a modern branch of dentistry that includes several procedures designed to improve the appearance of your smile. At Smile Builders we believe every cosmetic treatment should complement the overall health and long-term maintenance of your mouth.
If your teeth are stained, misaligned, chipped, broken or misshapen, you may be a candidate for one or more of these treatments:
- Full-mouth reconstruction
- Porcelain & composite veneers
- Dental crowns (same-day CEREC)
- Professional teeth whitening

FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION
Full-Mouth Reconstruction in Tijuana
Patients with serious dental complications — multiple cavities, severely worn enamel or missing teeth — often need a full-mouth reconstruction. It is more common than you think: cosmetic dentistry is not only about vanity, it also solves significant and complex needs.
For example, abrasion or attrition caused by stress (such as teeth grinding) can lead to tooth loss and serious complications down the road if it is not treated in time.
What does a full-mouth reconstruction include?
It usually combines several procedures carried out as part of one personalized treatment plan:
- Dental implants for missing teeth
- Dental crowns for chipped or damaged teeth
- Porcelain veneers for alignment or worn-out enamel
- Crown lengthening to expose more of a tooth
- Dental bridges to close gaps between teeth

PORCELAIN & COMPOSITE VENEERS
Porcelain Veneers: a camera-ready smile in about 10 days
Veneers are thin, smooth covers bonded to the front of your teeth to give them the shape and color you always wanted. They are one of the least invasive cosmetic options, preserving more of your natural tooth. We work with two high-quality materials: porcelain and composite resin.
- Stained teeth
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
- Large gaps between teeth
- Uneven spacing
Typical timeline: 3 visits in about 10 days — impressions/digital scan, bonding of your permanent veneers, and a final check-up.
DENTAL CROWNS
Same-Day Dental Crowns with CEREC Technology
A dental crown is a custom-shaped cover that restores a tooth to its natural form. Crowns are the ideal solution when a tooth has a different shape or size than the rest, when it is weak or broken, or when it needs to be protected after other treatments.
With our in-office CEREC technology, your crown is designed and milled right here — so you spend less time in the chair and fewer days in Tijuana.
Benefits of dental crowns
- Made in our office in less than 2 hours (CEREC)
- Reshape a tooth when there isn't enough enamel to hold a filling
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking — or restore a broken one
- Cover discolored or poorly shaped teeth
- Restore dental implants with a natural-looking tooth
- Make teeth stronger while improving their appearance
We offer high-quality crown materials that match the shade and shape of your natural teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best option for each tooth during your consultation.

TEETH WHITENING
Professional Teeth Whitening in Tijuana
Teeth whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic treatments at Smile Builders. ZOOM!® in-office whitening is a great option, and we also offer other professional systems that safely brighten your natural teeth.
Results typically last 4 to 12 months, depending on the procedure and how often you consume foods and drinks that stain (like coffee, tea or blueberries). Good oral hygiene keeps your smile brighter for longer.

Is whitening right for you?
Whitening is not for everyone. Talk with our dentist first, especially if you have:
- Discolored or sensitive teeth
- White spots or decay
- Infected gums
- A bridge, crown or other dental work
Existing crowns, veneers and fillings don’t whiten — we’ll help you plan the right combination of treatments.
