Rick Ross has joined forces with Dr. Mario Montoya to open a new dental clinic to service clients in Atlanta.
Last Thursday, Ross and Dr. Montoya held a ribbon-cutting ceremony where they hosted a marvelous party to officially open the doors to their new dental practice, Smiles, by Mario Montoya, in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The Atlanta location's CEO, Dr. Vanessa Villalobos, attended the event, including a list of some of the biggest names in music, sports, and business, such as Roscoe Dash, Ayo & Teo, and "Big Brother" stars Matt Hardeman and Makensy Manbeck.
Ross is not only an ambassador of the new dental clinic, but also one of Montoya's high-profile clients. They first met in 2020 and grew a strong bond with Ross consistently praising Montoya for the work he's done on his grill.
“Everybody that can’t get to Colombia can now head to Atlanta for that billion-dollar smile," Ross said in a statement. "People from all over the world have always asked me where I got my smile from, so it’s only right that I partnered with my go-to dentist, Dr. Montoya, for the first U.S. location."
He added, "We can’t wait to open those doors! And remember, it all begins with your smile—from when you walk into meetings, the bank, or when you see your family. So look, invest into that smile.”
Dr. Montoya became the go-to dentist in Colombia for his cutting-edge veneer technology that doesn't require shaving down your original teeth. In addition to Ross, Dr. Montoya has serviced several notable individuals including French Montana, Moneybagg Yo, Ari Fletcher, Nicki Minaj, and more.
“The opening of Smiles by Mario Montoya, Atlanta, is the result of more than three years of continuous effort, led by a clinical and administrative team dedicated to enhancing the patient experience," added Dr. Montoya in a statement. "We’re arriving in this beautiful country, which already has high standards in dentistry, with the best cosmetic dental care in the world. Your smile is your power. With your Billion Dollar Smile by Mario Montoya, your life will shine like a rock star.”
