Not being able to brush, the pain, my mouth was a mess for 2 wks, crap I didnt want to deal with. Dr. Kasperian reassured me I would be OK & it wouldnt be as traumatizing as the 1 graft. SHE WAS RIGHT! She did the graft on Tuesday & today (Thursday) I feel great. She cleaned me up & made a protector for the roof of my mouth. Thank you Dr Kasperian & team!

Because of the scope and cost of the proposed treatment, I decided to seek a second opinion from another local dental office. The second dentist evaluated my case and determined that I did not need bone grafting or major gum surgery to achieve my goals. I was able to complete my care safely and professionally at the second practice without those additional surgical procedures. Based on my personal experience, I strongly encourage prospective patients to seek a second opinion before committing to major surgical treatment plans.

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.

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.
