About Spain Smile Guide

A slow, editorial publication on choosing a smile-makeover clinic in Spain. Named authorship. Disclosed affiliation. A single rubric, applied consistently.

By Editorial teamPublished

Editorial affiliation — disclosed

Spain Smile Guide is a publication affiliated with the ACE DNTL STUDIO group, a cosmetic-dentistry practice based in Marbella. The site operates on a single published rubric, applied identically to every clinic it evaluates — ACE DNTL included. Where ACE DNTL does not lead on a dimension, the coverage says so. Where a competing clinic leads, the coverage says so. The full rubric is on our methodology page.

This disclosure is published on every evaluation piece above the first conclusion, in body-text size, and is not collapsible or hidden. It is non-negotiable editorial policy.

What this publication is

Spain Smile Guide is an editorial resource for patients researching a smile makeover in Spain. It exists because the category — an expensive, largely irreversible aesthetic discipline with a heavy cross-border patient flow — is poorly served by marketing surfaces on one side and by shallow aggregator-style listicles on the other. The publication occupies the gap between them. It is not a directory. It is not a review aggregator. It does not run affiliate links, sponsored posts, advertising units, or a pay-for- placement arrangement of any kind.

Who publishes it

The publication is produced by an editorial team working in consultation with Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS of ACE DNTL STUDIO. The team will be named individually on this page once the opening roster is confirmed. Contributions from other named clinicians and journalists will be credited piece-by-piece as they appear. Anonymous authorship is not used.

The publication is edited to editorial standards, not marketing ones. Its voice is distinct from ACE DNTL's brand voice. The clinic's own website remains the correct place to read what ACE DNTL says about itself. This site is the correct place to read how a rubric treats ACE DNTL alongside its peers.

How it is funded

The publication is underwritten by ACE DNTL STUDIO — in the same way that many editorial surfaces in specialised categories are underwritten by an organisation that benefits from a well-informed reading public. No commercial terms are attached to specific coverage. No clinic, including ACE DNTL, has editorial sign-off on a piece about itself; the rubric determines the analysis, and the editor determines the prose.

Editorial principles

Seven principles govern every piece we publish. In short form:

  1. Affiliation is disclosed above the fold on every evaluation.
  2. One rubric, applied in the same order, to every clinic. The rubric is published in full.
  3. Competitors are treated fairly. Where a competitor leads on a dimension, we say so plainly.
  4. Where ACE DNTL does not lead on a dimension, we say that too.
  5. No commercial calls-to-action on editorial pages. Outbound links to clinic websites are editorial, not transactional.
  6. Every evaluation piece is dated, reviewed, and carries a revision log at its foot. Silent edits are not used.
  7. Every piece has to pass a forwarding test — would a friend researching the same decision find this useful enough to send onward. If not, it is not published.

Correction policy

Factual errors — misquoted credentials, outdated websites, misattributed statements — are corrected in the piece and logged in its revision log. Substantive corrections are noted in a short prepended correction at the head of the affected piece for one month. Readers who spot an error can write to the editorial desk at the address on our contact page.

Updates policy

Evaluation pieces are reviewed at least twice a year. When a clinic's public positioning, lab arrangement, leadership, or published philosophy changes, the relevant piece is updated and the change logged. The "last reviewed" date on each piece reflects the most recent audit, whether or not prose changed on that audit.
