Imagine a life where you’re too scared to smile. For many, this looks like life without the ability to fully communicate one’s genuineness, humor, chivalry and true happiness. Yet, while we live in a world defined by many unpredictable circumstances, the art of a good smile seems more crucial than ever. Keeping this notion of simple-yet-impactful pleasure at the top of mind, Miami-based couple and entrepreneurial power duo Dr. Juan Carlos Izquierdo and Dr. Camila Guiribitey birth CG Smile in the heart of our Magic City, bringing contagiously beaming grins to the people of Miami.

Nestled in Coral Gables, the duo’s state-of-the-art facility is home to their reputable CG Smile Makeover—a multidisciplinary suite of dental services that accomplishes a straight, white and radiant smile in just a short two visits. “We have always focused on the goal of our business as disseminating our smiles throughout the world one patient at a time,” says Izquierdo. “Our family-oriented business, in which employees feel cared for and continuously provide quality care, requires top-notch technology alongside compassion to meet our global objective,” he continues.

“Being a young couple under 35 who are also part of a minority, having the power to escalate a business sector that typically only earns a decent living is what makes us so unique.”
With an on-site fabrication laboratory and a master ceramist on staff, the happiness hub instantly restores the confidence of its patients through its innovative approach to reconstruction alongside a commitment to the satisfaction of each individual.
“There was a gap in the dental field for an integrated practice that combined cosmetic dentistry and implantology for full mouth rehabilitation. We were able to capitulate and provide patients with the best options for their dental care experience,” Izquierdo says. “Our satisfaction is seeing our patients put their best smiles on and recommend our practice globally.”
While Izquierdo has held his dream of becoming a dentist close to his heart since growing up in Cuba, the medical maverick is now living out his vision through CG Smile, as he and his wife take pride in being a minority who are redefining the cosmetic field at large.
“Being a young couple under 35 who are also part of a minority, having the power to escalate a business sector that typically only earns a decent living is what makes us so unique,” the couple shares. “Most dentists brag about doing 100 veneers or teeth restorations on a given day, while we are constantly delivering over 150 veneers and crowns daily, which translates to thousands of patients per year,” they continue. “Our moving-forward, nonstopping attitude has allowed us to place more implants with robotic guidance than anyone in the world.”
Through unifying cutting-edge technology with carefully conducted procedures, Izquierdo and Guiribitey continue to make revolutionary strides in the medical field.

Going above and beyond to ensure all desires are wholly fulfilled, CG Smile also offers preventive dentistry, restorations, endodontic care, general dentistry and orthodontics in addition to its cosmetic services. “We take pride in what we have built as a team. Having firsthand experience with patients on a daily basis allows us to continue to calibrate our souls and deliver quality care,” resume Guiribitey and Izquierdo.
Truly reformulating the famed motto that a smile is contagious, CG Smile serves as the nucleus for spreading infectious smiles throughout the Miami community and beyond. Through careful procedures, cutting-edge technology and lots of love, Dr. Juan Carlos Izquierdo and Dr. Camila Guiribitey continue on their journey to making the world a better place, one smile at a time. 2601 SW 37th Ave., #702, Miami, cgcsmile.com
