Deciding to invest in a smile design is a personal decision, but choosing who performs it is just as important as deciding to do it at all. Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and the results of a cosmetic dental procedure can last for years, which is why the dentist behind the design matters just as much as the design itself. If you are comparing options, here is why so many patients, both locally and internationally, choose Dr. Gonzaga Tabares for their smile design.
Decades of Clinical Experience You Can Trust
Dr. Gonzaga Tabares brings more than 25 years of clinical experience to every consultation, backed by thousands of transformed smiles. This isn’t a trial-and-error approach; it’s the result of two decades of perfecting the technique, staying up to date with advances in cosmetic dentistry, and understanding what truly produces a natural and long-lasting result. When you entrust someone with such a personal procedure, experience isn’t a bonus—it’s essential.
An In-House CAD-CAM Laboratory for Faster, Precise Results
One of the biggest differentiators at Brighter Smiles by Dr. Gonzaga Tabares is the practice’s own in-house laboratory, equipped with CAD-CAM digital technology and 3D scanning. Instead of sending your case out to a third-party lab and waiting weeks for veneers to be manufactured and shipped back, everything happens on-site. This allows many patients to walk away with a fully customized smile design in as little as a few days, without compromising on precision or fit. For patients traveling from out of town or out of the country, this speed makes the entire process far more convenient.
A Personalized, Digital Approach for Every Smile
No two smiles—or two faces—are alike, and Dr. Gonzaga Tabares’s approach reflects this. Every smile design begins with a detailed consultation, taking into account facial structure, lip line, gum symmetry, dental proportions, and each patient’s personal goals.
Natural-Looking Results, Not a Generic Smile
A common concern among patients considering veneers is ending up with an artificial look—“too white, too perfect.” Dr. Gonzaga Tabares’ team uses internationally recognized porcelain materials and customizes the shade, shape, and translucency for each individual, prioritizing a result that looks like your smile—only better. The goal is always a natural-looking improvement that complements your face; this is why the variety of materials is so important—so that every patient can find the exact match that meets their expectations.
Two World-Class Locations: Cali and Punta Cana
Brighter Smiles by Dr. Gonzaga Tabares operates in two attractive destinations: Cali, Colombia, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. This dual-location model has made the practice a popular choice for dental tourism, allowing patients to combine high-quality cosmetic dentistry with a getaway to a beautiful destination. Both locations offer the same standard of care, technology, and attention to detail, so patients can choose whichever destination fits their travel plans best.
A Track Record Backed by Real Patient Transformations
Rather than relying on promises alone, Dr. Gonzaga Tabares’ work speaks for itself through a long list of documented smile transformations and patient success stories, including public figures and everyday patients alike. Before-and-after documentation and patient testimonials give prospective patients a realistic sense of what to expect, rather than relying on stock photos or exaggerated marketing claims.
Comprehensive Care, From Consultation to Aftercare
Choosing Dr. Gonzaga Tabares means more than just the day of the procedure. The team provides guidance on caring for your new smile long after you leave the chair, including recommendations for oral hygiene, habits to avoid, and the importance of routine checkups to protect your investment. This ongoing relationship is part of what makes the practice’s results last, rather than treating the procedure as a one-time transaction.
A Genuine Focus on Oral Health, Not Just Aesthetics
While smile design is fundamentally a cosmetic procedure, every treatment plan at Brighter Smiles by Dr. Gonzaga Tabares starts with an evaluation of the patient’s overall oral health. This means addressing underlying issues first, being transparent about what each patient’s teeth actually need, and only recommending procedures that make sense for that individual case, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all package.
