    This is the area where the "shuttle" picks you up from.

    Consider another of the many dentists in Tijuana. If you can find a reliable and friendly U.S. dentist and the only factor is cost, consider that it is not just about better service, and quality, it's about convenience and your peace of mind. You may want a dentist that is "cheap" considering U.S. dentists charge up to $1000 for a crown but there are other factors involved when considering the true cost of dental work. Dental Alvarez has one or two nice people who try to offer exceptional service but overall it's a budget business designed to attract unwitting U.S. clients through relatively low prices. Call around TJ and you will find that most dentists speak fluent English, have a majority U.S. clients, and take insurance. With Dental Alvarez, be aware: The person you contact prior to your appointment may not be the one you interact with when you arrive. We were told they take insurance but when it came time to pay we were told we don't take that insurance anymore. The lady who quoted us prices over the phone was friendly, but the receptionist who primarily deals with billing and the "shuttle" service once you are there is unhelpful, rude and cold. The "shuttle" service is unreliable. Be prepared to take an Uber if you are walking across the border. The "shuttle" is a small personal vehicle that fits a driver, a front seat passenger, and a tight fit for two in the back. They over book the driver and the front desk team suffers from very poor communication. I attempted to use the service six times (three trips back and forth) and have been told, the driver has gone home for the day, or the driver is running personal errands and I had to order an Uber. In one instance he did not show for 40 minutes and the receptionist lied about it over the phone claiming he was at the border to pick me up. When I spoke with another staff member, he said the driver was at the office dropping off other passengers. The receptionist also lied and said the driver could not use his phone while driving and then proceeded to call him while he was driving. Also, you may be asked to share a ride or drive in circles for a while looking for another client. Add $50 to any quote for exam and x-rays. You will be up sold. They will create a treatment plan and tell you that since you traveled all that way you might as well get another service. It makes sense. We went in to save $500 on a $1000 crown and wound up paying over $1000 for two crowns, and an inlay. One way or another the money is getting spent. Plan for it. They overbook and appointment times are estimated. You should not arrive late. But the dentist can be late in seeing you. Waiting is the norm. In one instance I waited an hour for my appointment. The two year guarantee is another way of saying no refunds, no price adjustments, no matter what. Even if the work is terrible. And as nice as my dentist was, the work was shoddy. My temp crown fell off after two days. My permanent inlay fell out after three days. I had to return twice and he tried to charge me extra for work done "under warranty." Walking across San Ysidro back to the U.S. will take at least 60 minutes. Driving even longer. Download BWT app for wait times. Otay will be shorter but this dentist doesn't offer pickup or drop off there. Shot out to the one young man at the front who wanted to help, clearing seeing how terrible service was. Unfortunately, the older woman at the front was more concerned about charging $5 for an Uber ride than making things right with a returning customer. Bottom line: there are many great dentists in TJ. This is not one of them.

    I have seen three dentists at Dental Alvarez over a period of several months early in 2021 for extensive work including root canals, implants, fillings and crowns. I am 68 years old and I can honestly say they are the best dentists I have ever seen during my lifetime. It is one of the rare occasions in life where superior quality comes with lower cost! They are much better dentists than any I have seen in my hometown. They are a group of young, passionate, highly skilled dentists that work as a team - unlike the typical solo dentists I have experienced in the U.S. And their staff is extremely supportive, helping set up visits and very responsive to follow up questions. And their English is excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking excellent affordable dental care! I am looking forward to returning to complete the work

    Had a great experience. Went in to have 3rd molars extracted. Had them both out in about 10 minutes! felt very comfortable there. They have underground parking, so you don't have to leave your car on the street. The price was great (compared to U.S. costs). They were very professional. I'll be back soon for the other side!

You can park at the Soriana, which is a grocery store…read more You know you're at the correct place if you had to click a button to get a little parking ticket. On the way out you pay for parking with for the allotted time you were there. The grocery store and other little stores are on the first floor and a lot of clinics/dentist offices are on the second floor. Once you get to the second floor, there'll be someone at the main door asking you to check in and that really just states your name and how many people are with you and what office you're going to. There is a staircase, and there is an elevator to get to the second floor. The office is small but very clean but unfortunately in Mexico, what happens sometimes is that the running water stops working and you cannot use the restroom since there is no water to flush the toilet. The two girls at the front are really nice and are really inviting. Feel free to ask them any questions you have. Dr Yasmin introduced herself and she was very lovely and she is the person who did my cleaning and my teeth whitening. She was very lovely as well and she kept asking me if I was OK and was very attentive. So what happens first is that the doctor will check you out and make sure that the items you requested can actually happen that day and then someone comes and gives you a quote and if you would like to continue, you sign the quote and then the work is started. It was my very first time doing a teeth whitening, and while she was doing it, it did not hurt at all, but I did experience some teeth sensitivity around an hour later. The teeth whitening is four sessions of 15 minutes under some sort of lamp on your teeth. It is a small quaint clean office. I would definitely go back.

    Having extensive dental work done can be stressful under any circumstances, but it can feel…read moreespecially overwhelming when you are doing it in a foreign country and placing your trust in a doctor, a team, and a dental lab you do not know personally. From the beginning, Dr. Manriquez and his team made that process feel much more manageable. At my first visit, they took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the treatment plan, and answer my questions clearly. I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Manriquez was professional, thorough, and attentive throughout the process, and his calm approach gave me confidence in the decisions being made. I also want to give special recognition to Angeles, Dr. Manriquez's assistant, and the office manager Citlali. Both were incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to detail. They consistently made sure I was comfortable, understood what was happening, and had my questions addressed. Their warmth and professionalism made a real difference during a process that can otherwise feel intimidating. What stood out most was the team's communication and willingness to take the time needed to get things right. They made me feel like a person rather than simply another appointment, and that level of care is not something to take for granted. The entire office was organized, welcoming, and responsive. By the end of the process, I felt genuinely comfortable with the care I was receiving and grateful that I had placed my trust in Dr. Manriquez, Angeles, Citlali, and the rest of the team. I would highly recommend Dr. Manriquez's practice to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality dental care, especially to those who may feel hesitant about receiving treatment while away from home.

    I am extremely pleased with my two days of dental services provided by Advanced Smiles Dentistry…read more I have paid far more for a far lower standard of dental care. After my dentist retired, we had a little global pandemic, and then things got busy and ... in 2026 I brought them a mouth some California dentists wouldn't touch without hundreds of dollars in X-ray and lab fees up front. Then wouldn't touch. ​ In two days of care, they replaced a complex crown, did four quadrants of deep cleaning, and filled an embarrassing number of cavities. I paid about two and a half Gs for what I was quoted elsewhere for between $6K and $10K. This is dental work under local anesthesia, so some pain from numbing is expected. They have a deal with a chain hotel in easy walking distance that has an included breakfast with soft foods and a UV water dispenser on every floor. From my initial contact on WhatsApp, to their offer to Uber me to the office, to patient intake and detailed assessment including head CTs (!), 3D modeling (!!!), photography of teeth and individual tooth x-rays, and the competence of the clinical team... I don't believe this level of dental care is available in Estados Unidos. If I have a friend who needs dental care, I will cheerfully refer them here. Note: WhatsApp and Uber are essential tools in Tijuana.​

Most of the staff speak both languages, so if you're nervous about communication, I wouldn't worry about it if you don't speak Spanish. They are very organized and communicate quickly via email and WhatsApp. They offer a shuttle service pick up, which is easy.

The Care & Facility: Professionalism: Dr. Iris is wonderful, extremely professional, kind, and speaks great English.

Modern & Clean: The office is immaculate and located inside a clean, modern professional building alongside other professional cosmetic services.

    My All-on-Six Dental Implant Experience in Tijuana…read more I want to share my experience with this clinic -- the dentists, the surgeons, and what it's really like traveling to Tijuana for all-on-six dental implants. I started this journey to finally replace broken teeth and fill in the back teeth I'd been missing for years. A family friend who works in dental tourism referred me here (he's got contacts all over Mexico if anyone needs a referral -- his site is cancunallonfour.com). After my initial consultation, we scheduled surgery to remove 14 teeth and place my implants. Dr. Leo is honestly the best -- I had some bone loss going in, but he assured me it wouldn't be an issue, and he was right. He didn't rush the bridge either; he wanted the implants to heal fully and the bone to integrate completely first. Four months later I went back to have the posts placed, and I'd healed so well we skipped temporaries and went straight to the zirconia bridge. Dr. Challi did the actual teeth, and she's truly an artist. I stayed a full week to make sure everything was perfect, and it is. They treated me with so much respect the whole way through. The clinic is at New City Medical Plaza, literally five minutes from the border, and the hotel on the other side of the plaza is excellent too -- we stayed there both trips, and the whole team was there for us every step. And I almost forgot the best part: between the surgery, the teeth, and all the time they spent with me, the total cost was about 70% less than what I'd been quoted in the US. I'd recommend X Dentistry without reservation for any dental work. I couldn't be happier -- if you're thinking about going to Tijuana, this is it!
