    We came here for a cleaning and my husband got his tooth capped. We were happy with the cleaning. The dentist was very nice. He wanted to sell us a bunch of more things but no. We just got the cleaning. My husband's tooth had broken and they repaired it, however, the next morning, it broke off. It's not easy to have to go back into Mexico and get this fixed. We will find a better dentist next time. 3 stars for cleaning Negative 2 stars for poor job with his tooth.

    Father and son dentists - Dr De La Vega - happy smiles all round and lots of new teeth!

    I can't recommend the De la Vega Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, highly enough! I had extensive dental work done here, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. The treatment I received would have cost me at least three times more in the U.S., but the quality of care was on par with, if not better than, what I've experienced at home. Before deciding to have the work done, I consulted with my dentists in Oregon, who confirmed that the treatment plan recommended by De la Vega Clinic was exactly what they would have suggested. After the work was completed, my dentists back home were thoroughly impressed, describing the dental work as exemplary. Knowing that my local professionals hold the work in such high regard only reinforces the exceptional standards at De la Vega Clinic. The clinic itself is easy to access, just a $3 taxi ride via Uber or Didi from the pedestrian border. The staff at the clinic are warm, friendly, and make you feel completely at ease throughout the process. From start to finish, I felt like I was in expert hands, and the level of care and professionalism exceeded all my expectations. If you're considering dental work and want high-quality care at a fraction of the cost, De la Vega Clinic is the place to go. I'm beyond grateful for the work they did and wouldn't hesitate to return for future treatments! Dr De La Vega +52 664685 1202 or US (619) 399-3538 Email: drfelipedelavega@gmail.com

    Before, During & After

    My 5-STAR Review! I am a 58 year old woman from Oregon. I decided to go to Tijuana to get my dental work done after I was quoted $25,000 - $50,000 to fix my teeth in the States. A process that could take over a year. I was missing six teeth, I could no longer chew most foods, my bite was off and I was miserable. I was told by several people to skip Tijuana and go to different parts of Mexico. "Tijuana is dangerous, etc." Well I am here to tell you differently. When I had made my decision to go to Tijuana I started to research dentists. I made several calls and left messages. I came across Dr. Ignacio De La Vega. There was something about their website that made me feel comfortable. I called and immediately spoke with someone who spoke English. My frequent questions were promptly answered via email and telephone, the prices were more than fair. It didn't take long for me to decide De La Vega was the dentist for me. That is an understatement. I explained specifically what I thought I needed and asked if they could do it within a weeks time. They told me they could so I booked the appointment and the trip. Dr. De La Vega and his son/parter Carlos, who did all my work, referred me to two hotels within walking distance of their office. I chose the closest one, the Hotel West Plaza. It is a very nice, affordable, clean, full service hotel, with a spa, gym and restaurant with room service. It perfectly suited my needs and it was only a block and a half from the hotel, on the same street. No taxi's needed. Not only was the procedure pain free, it only took four days. Monday, they did all the work, gave me temporaries, and sent me on my way until Thursday when my final teeth would be ready. My new teeth are perfect. They look and feel real. I am beyond words at this point. I feel like a totally new person and I owe it all to the whole team of professionals at Dr. De La Vegas office. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, gentle and they were fun to work with. My daughter met me there from Los Angeles and we had the best time in Tijuana. We shopped, we ate at fabulous restaurants, but mostly we walked around taking in the culture and our surroundings. You have to be safe wherever you go but I truly believe Tijuana gets a bad rap. I arrived by myself at night, crossed the border on foot and I left by myself and not once did I feel unsafe. The whole experience is one my daughter and I will never forget. Dr. De La Vega, Carlos and the crew gave me a whole new lease on life. For that I am forever thankful.

I was in between plans so I was fortunate to be able to travel to TJ and they value it in my tooth and it was so cracked that I couldn't just get it repaired instead they had to pull it and put it in implant. It was taken care of that day with meticulous care. I know the dentist has a very high-level of attention to detail, which I really appreciated. I am going to go back in April to have the crown completed. I was there for several hours as they did a lot of work to evaluate my tooth then pull the cracked tooth and place the implant. I very highly recommend them for the quality of work and the price was better than in the US. of course they also picked us up and returned us back to the border

Wasted my time, money and gas to make these trips Do I have confident to drive down and make them re-do the broken crown? Do I trust them to do a 3 teeth bridge for me? I guess I'll be staying locally and get the dental bridge done. I don't know what happened to the excellent work from this office but it seems the ladies that worked there are no longer there plus Dr Elias is no longer there. I can't recommend this place since I paid almost 1k for a zirconium crown plus root canal; 2 teeth were done so 2k wasted!

    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.​

It was a super easy walk across the border. Their taxi picked us up and dropped us off. Had a really nice coffee at a charming coffee shop next-door. All in all just a really nice day and a fabulous experience. (who says that about a day going to the dentist !?) Plus! I went in there with an $800 estimate and my partner went in there with a $3000 estimate and we were told that both of those were unnecessary so we were both able to leave with a $40 cleaning. It's not often that a dentist office is a good experience for me but this definitely was!

They quoted me $2,000, which just didn't seem right. I wasn't in that much pain and that seems like a lot of money. They did provide photos of the damaged tooth, though, showing that the work needed to be done. But I didn't want to pay that much. So, I did some research on tiktok and found Washington Dental. Reached out to them via email and they setup a nice appointment for a Saturday. Crossing the border is easy and if you tell the people at the border crossing you're going to Washington Dental, they'll give you a lift for free and WD will pay. (but, just be sure to confirm this first with your driver). Checked in, and waited five minutes and then they called me in. The whole process took maybe 45 minutes each visit (it takes a total of two to do it), and here I am, 2 months later with a few extra bucks in my pocket and a new crown!
