About International Smiles

International Smiles is a dental clinic in Medellín located inside Balance Center at Calle 11 #30A-21. The clinic’s identity, address and named team are useful starting points when researching an appointment. Keep Balance Center with the street address when confirming your visit, and ask for arrival instructions directly from the practice. If you are contacting International Smiles from outside Colombia, specify that your enquiry concerns the Medellín location.

The service range includes cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, oral rehabilitation, orthodontics, sedation dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. These areas help you describe the appointment you are seeking. For a restorative or cosmetic enquiry, ask what the initial consultation would cover and which clinician would review your needs. If several services are discussed, request an explanation of how they relate to the proposed plan rather than treating the service list as a recommendation for your own care.

Adriana María Castaño is the clinic’s founder and clinical director. Lina Rizzo works in prosthodontics and cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry, while María Jimena Arango works in prosthodontics and oral rehabilitation. Ricardo Vélez works in orthodontics. The wider team includes Gloria Arbelaez in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry and Alejandra Garcés in general dentistry and oral rehabilitation. These areas connect International Smiles’ restorative, cosmetic and orthodontic services with named clinicians at the practice.

Lina Rizzo and María Jimena Arango speak English and Spanish. Their work in prosthodontics and oral rehabilitation gives visitors specific clinicians to ask about when discussing restorative care in either language. The practice also has separate Colombia and U.S. contact numbers, making it possible to start an enquiry before travelling to Medellín. Use the first conversation to explain the type of care you are considering, your preferred language and the dates you are available.

The broader team also includes María Piedad Laberry in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Nathalia Rua in oral pathology and medicine, and Catalina López in periodontics and oral implantology. Sedation dentistry is another service available through International Smiles. If sedation forms part of your enquiry, discuss its assessment process with the treating team. For a proposal involving several areas of care, ask who will coordinate the appointments and how to obtain a written account of the plan.

Weekday hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday visits, from 10:00 a.m. to noon, are available upon request and should be arranged directly. The Colombia phone number is +57 300 6118015, and the U.S. contact number is +1 954 8376512. Email enquiries can go to theinternationalsmiles@gmail.com. Use these contacts to confirm dates, the Medellín address, the treating clinician and the information to bring to your first visit.
