Reliable Cosmetic Dentistry
Dedication to dentistry
With more than 30 years of experience in the field of dentistry, Dr. Grace Ordóñez has become one of the most recognized dentists among the international community in Cuenca. Fluent in English, she combines the warmth and hospitality of Cuenca with the standards of care, communication, and trust that English-speaking patients expect to find back home.
Her approach goes far beyond simply fixing teeth. Dr. Grace views oral health as an inseparable part of the body’s overall well-being. For this reason, she carefully evaluates how dental conditions, materials, and treatments may impact a patient’s general health.
Specialized in Biological and Holistic Dentistry, she is one of the few dentists in Ecuador trained in this integrative approach, including the internationally certified SMART Protocol for the safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings. Her professional philosophy has remained unchanged throughout her career:
“I do not perform unnecessary procedures. Every decision is based on what the body truly needs.”
