September 2024 Dr. Kasperian reinstalled a new updated titanium implant to replace the one previously removed. Late March 2025 Dr. Hirota in National City implanted my brand new three (3) crown bridge designed by Dr. Kasperian on two titanium implant posts (one old and one new). I had some quiet concern I kept to myself about the outcome using new and old implant posts but the truth is I could not be happier! I have my bite back! And, I can easily floss under my new 3 crown dental bridge appliance. I can easily recommend Dr. Kasperian and Dr. Hirota to others. You will not be disappointed.

I paid a significant amount out of pocket for the X-ray and additional charges not covered by insurance, and I was told that was the total amount I needed to pay. The provider took me back for the evaluation, reviewed my X-ray, and told me there was no hope--my tooth couldn't be saved, I had severe gum disease, and my gums needed laser treatment that would take a long time to heal. She was very pushy and rude. It's important to mention I was only referred here for the X-ray, yet she insisted on doing the procedure herself and taking over the work of my referring provider. She also made me feel rushed and showed no compassion or empathy. When I was leaving, I noticed all the lights in the hallway to the exit were off, and there was no one in the lobby where it was dark. I had a terrible experience that night, which caused me anxiety. I ultimately found another provider, a top 100 dentist I trust, who confirmed that I do not have severe gum disease and do not require laser treatment. They successfully completed my implant and I also went through Invisalign, resulting in my teeth being in excellent health and condition. I strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs!

I was looking through my insurance website trying to find another periodontist to get a second opinion and saw ADC listed in Tijuana. Knowing that my insurance company would not have a shady outfit approved on their network, I contacted ADC and made an appointment. I have had fillings and minor dental work done in Mexico over the years, but was nervous about having actual surgery down there. I shouldn't have worried - the facilities at ADC were cleaner and more modern than any dentist in the USA. All the instruments came right out of sterile autoclave packets and the imaging equipment was state of the art. There is a paid parking lot next door. Dr. Ahumada was a joy to work with - very knowledgeable and professional. The surgery sucked, but she made it as comfortable as she could. The receptionist speaks good English. My out of pocket expenses, including a trip to the pharmacy was under $700. ADC saved me $500 and Dr. Ahumada could not be beat. Very highly recommended.

My wife and I couldn't wait to leave a review after our first visit to Dr. Martin's dental…read morepractice! To lay the foundation, we had previously been patients of what we considered the finest dentist ever, Dr. Yuri Kaneda in Bonita. Unfortunately, she retired last year, and we had been searching for someone we could trust to provide the same level of care. Thankfully, we feel like we struck gold after being referred by my former hygienist. I first contacted Dr. Martin's office about five months ago and was warmly greeted by Anetra. She confirmed that Dr. Martin accepted our insurance and was accepting new patients. She kindly made appointments for both my wife and me and also helped us get set up on their website so we could complete our registration online before our first visit. Anetra was helpful, professional, and welcoming throughout the entire process. We also love that Dr. Martin's office is less than a mile from our home! Fast-forward to our appointments. I had Jennifer as my hygienist, while my wife had Shannon. Both were familiar with our previous dentist and my former hygienist, which immediately helped us feel comfortable. They were friendly, thorough, and had a gentle touch while cleaning our teeth. Most importantly, we felt the same level of comfort and confidence that we had with our previous dental office. Then we met Dr. Martin, and our confidence only grew. He was incredibly friendly and professional, took the time to update our dental charts, and pointed out things about my teeth that I had never been made aware of before. We couldn't have been happier with our experience or more confident about becoming part of the Dr. Martin patient family! One thing we really don't like about some dental offices is feeling like you're just a number--a patient being moved through the office as quickly as possible, where quantity seems to take priority over quality. We also appreciate a practice that doesn't pressure patients into unnecessary or unexpected services, such as sealants, fluoride treatments, panoramic X-rays, or sensitive-gum treatments, particularly when those services may not be necessary or covered by insurance. Thankfully, we experienced none of that at Dr. Martin's office. We never felt pressured by Dr. Martin or any member of his staff. Instead, we felt that if a service were ever recommended, it would be because it was appropriate for our dental needs and would be clearly explained to us beforehand. That level of transparency is exactly what builds trust. We don't know if Dr. Martin's office is still accepting new patients, but if you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring dental practice, we couldn't recommend Dr. Martin and his team with greater confidence. We truly feel blessed to have found them and hope they'll be taking care of our smiles for many years to come!

That's how I found Dr. Martin -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I called, his staff was amazing. I explained my situation, and they kindly got me in the same day. When I arrived, the office was clean and welcoming, and the staff was warm and happy to greet me. Dr. Martin was incredibly kind, patient, and honest. After evaluating my tooth, he told me I'd need to see an endodontist -- which I assumed meant more delays. But to my surprise, the endodontist was just a few steps away, and they were able to see me immediately and take my insurance too! I'm extremely grateful for Dr. Martin and his team, and I'll definitely be returning for my routine care. Highly recommend!

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.​

Dr. Wong just performed my oral surgery yesterday. It's been 24 hours and I couldn't be more…read morepleased (mostly relieved) that I am not in any pain what so ever. Now, of course everyone is different, but I can only attest to my experience. Why should you trust this review? I have two dentists/oral surgeons in my family; My uncle and my cousin up in Los Angeles, therefore I am accustomed to the best in oral care. Of course when family was working my teeth, they took take EXTRA CARE of me because I was the baby of the family. So my expectations are higher than most, sometimes unreasonably higher, but I have the experience to know what a patient should expect. I know what injections should feel like, I know what kind of bedside manner a dentist should have, and I settle for nothing but the best in the overall experience. So please read on... Dr. Wong has an incredibly thoughtful best side manner, she made me feel at ease right away. Although I was sedated, I remember her whispering to me in a soft, angelic voice "you're doing so well" "just a little more" and repeating how well I'm doing. I remember that soft voice making me feel safe, and in the hands of someone who truly cared about me. After the surgery she spoke to my husband and I about aftercare, still in her natural soft, ethereal voice. I was in absolutely no pain when I awoke, and I am still in no pain 24 hours later. I haven't had to take any pain meds today, I simply don't even feel as though I had oral surgery except for the proof: sutures! I took two pain medications last night, the evening of my surgery, in the event some pain would have crept up on me and I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to take a chance that I would suddenly be in pain, and awoken in the middle of the night, so for precautionary measures I took them. As she described to me, I have some minor swelling, but it's minimal and expected. I had (according to the Doc) a lot of gum tissue removed from both sides of the roof of my mouth, then grafted to three teeth. Did I mention how gentle she is and that I have no pain? Yaay me! Of course dental block injections pinch a little, as they all do, but very minimal. Yet because of her gentle nature, it didn't bother me. I was numb in no time. I was highly nervous and anxious, she recognized that immediately, and sedated me appropriately (I had someone to drive me) staying by my side every moment, talking to me until my anxiety subsided. Dr. Wong is sweet, intuitive, delightful, caring, thoughtful and charming. You don't learn these things in dental school, you are either a natural or not. The Doc is a natural. I would highly recommend Dr. Wong at SoCal Perio. Oral surgery, gum grafting etc. can be all very scary, it's dreaded, and the day we have to go in most of us are EXTREMELY anxious, and honestly don't want to go. If you need the work done, trust this doctor, please do yourself a favor, do your mouth a favor and seek out the best in the field; Dr. Wong. She has a superb educational background, gentle skilled hands, and a natural care for her patients. I am overwhelmingly impressed :) Thank you Dr. Wong and all the wonderful staff at SoCal Perio :-) -Kim McD.
