I've been going to Washington dental clinic for years. I always recommended to my friends and family and then have gone there as well. I was also discovered last week that one of the pastors is going there as I ran into him at the office day when I was there. And then also I know that our main pastor at the church goes there cause he overheard me talking to someone else about going to Washington dental and he said "I go there too". Office is amazing. Their staff is very professional and caring. They have excellent equipment and amazing doctors that are all well. Educated and professional, and do great work. I highly recommend Washington dental to anyone in need of dental work. Don't be afraid because I've had friends that were afraid to go to the dentist and when I took one last week, it was everything we could do to convince her to go with us. But she walked away extremely happy with the work they had done. The office is very clean and they have modern equipment and are able to perform almost anything that you need to have done in regards to dental work. I read more

AMAZING prices. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE Work &EXTREMELY Long wait times because Appointments are only for surgical procedures. This was my first and LAST visit here. I got a " cleaning " procedure done that honestly just felt like a long teeth brushing session. I paid $60 USD for the cleaning , which iwould had been great if it had been a REAL teeth cleaning so I definitely feel scammed and a waste of a trip to TJ. read more

Great dental care! My daughter needed an implant, and it was a fraction of the cost. Took A few trips down but they have a taxi pick you up and bring you back. Had some great Mexican food too!! read more

Awesome and cost effective dental work just a hop skip and jump across the border. I had visited my dentist in Culver City and they recommended a crown for a somewhat broken molar. 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! read more

Washington Dental Clinic - General Dentistry Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

I forgot to mention that this was the most painful medical procedure I've ever had. The doctor just stuck the needle right into my tongue and I flung off the chair about 4". read more

ZERO Responsibility for their terrible work. Father bought dentures couple years ago and 16 teeth in total fell out after 4 years of use (and regluing) We decided to give a "NEW" pair a try.. they lasted 6 weeks then 2 teeth fell out. My father doesn't live near Tijuana, so he mailed them to me, we got them "fixed" and guess what.. 1st day after they were sent back, ANOTHER tooth fell out Dentist office says they don't have records to make a new pair and he must be present. Didn't give us any direction on how to fix the issue and now we're $2500 into 2 sets of teeth that keep falling apart. I have sent dozens of friends and family here over the past 8 years and now regret ever giving them business. Terrible service, terrible care and don't take responsibility for their actions. Spend the money and go elsewhere. Or just get your teeth cleaned. read more

If you're looking to get dental work done in Tijuana this is the spot. The staff are all so kind and there are also English translators available. They don't try to upsell me and were able to squeeze me in for a cleaning on my last trip to Mexico which was amazing. Definitely reach out if you're looking for dental work but can't afford the US prices. This was an easy day trip for me from Los Angeles! read more

In and out within 45 mins for my exam and cleaning. For $40 I was impressed with the level of service i received. Thank you.

My partner and I came here after being given huge estimates from a dentist in San Diego. After doing a ton of research and reading all of the reviews we decided to use Washington Dental Clinic. JP was the concierge that helped us through the whole process and he was great. 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! read more

Really pleased with results. Very happy I decided to go to Washington Dental. Very professional and every appointment was very worthwhile with no unexpected costs Half of what I would have paid at home read more

Excellence dental work!!! English as well as Spanish. Look on there web sight for many services read more

DO NOT USE. Washington Dental ruined my teeth. They extracted a tooth and put/left a hole in my sinus. I also got dry socket. They left glue on the temporary crown which cut my cheek. The temporary crown fell off. The temporary bridge fell off. The resulting pain and cost to resolve the problems is still ongoing. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from Washington dental. I left one star as there is nothing lower. read more

The best dental practice we (my wife and I) have ever been in!! Joel is amazing. We couldn't be happier. Dr. Vasquez is an amazing dentist. We have found our new and forever dentist!! We can't say enough good things about this place. Did i mention Joel is amazing?!! read more

I went to Washington Dental 11 days ago to have my upper wisdom teeth removed since they were now scratching the inside of my mouth and causing pain and discomfort. I exchanged some emails with JP and he answered all my questions and scheduled my appointment. JP welcomed me upon arrival and guided me to the MRI room and explained the issues with my top wisdom teeth and the cost to remove them and advised I seek a specialist for the bottom wisdom teeth as they were too close to the mandibular nerve. We proceeded with a cleaning first and I was numbed during the cleaning to prepare for the extraction of the top wisdom teeth. Dr. Pena performed my extractions and it only took him less than a minute per tooth. Completely painless! I was provided with pain medication, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication and went on my way to the border. My recovery has been perfect. I've had no pain the entire time and very minimal swelling. Overall my experience with Washington Dental was great and I have recommended their services to friends and family. read more

I needed a root canal and 2 bridges. Plus remove silver fillings, and put in white composite.. highly recommend Dr. Elihu Carrasco.. totally pain free experience! And done in a timely manner. Explained everything well! JP coordinates everything so satisfactory, made it easy to find. And Explained the whole procedure! read more

Really great first experience with this Dentist. I had a cleaning in the States one month ago and was informed that I should get a crown and two cavities filled. Upon inspection and an additional X-ray at Washington Dental, Dr. Ruiz informed me that that the crown would be unnecessary as the filling was sealed very well. Further, the "cavities" were coffee stains and would not need to be filled. I sincerely appreciate the honest feedback from the doctor and the professionalism of exhibited by JP - who was a pleasure to work with before and during my visit. I will definitely be back for future cleanings, etc. read more

WONDERFUL! Make sure you show up before 8 am. It gets busy as all hell. Four to five dentists showed up. Pulled a lower right second molar (extraction) Very easy. Painless. Dr. and entire staff was great. Found a cab driver in San Ysidro for $40 to Washington dental. W D paid for the cab ride back to the cross border at T.J. in T.J. Do not hesitate to go here. If you walk over from US, there is a sign at the cabs for W D. $50 extraction. I will be back read more

One of the best dental experiences I've had, and I'm quite the dental wimp! Dr Peña was obviously very knowledgeable and had a very gentle touch, especially when it came to giving injections. They explained everything in detail, had state of the art equipment, and even offered a fluffy fleece blanket in case the AC was a little much. They also have their own taxis that will pick you up at the pedestrian crossing and take you back, courtesy of the clinic. 10/10, I'll be back and my bestie said the same! read more

Went to have them look at a tooth that Was hurting Took X-rays and they said it needed to be extracted . A guy who called himself a dentist Tortured me for over a hour He did not know how to pull it out So it broke in little pieces What a nightmare story . Then waited 5 hrs at boarder to get home . read more

So easy! The clinic has taxis literally at the end of the pedestrian crossing. I walked across and was driven maybe 5 minutes to the clinic. Once there I had night guards made for $50 vs $1000 usd at home. While I waited I walked literally 100 steps to Rocco and Milo for amazing coffee and breakfast. Then was driven maybe 5 minutes to the shuttle which took me back. Unlike many US dentists which will lie to you and tell you your teeth are about to fall out, this place was full of honesty! I'm so impressed. Will be back. read more

The staff not very helpful and they have no warranty on any of their work they fix my dentures for me in a week later the same problem happened, and they refused to warranty it read more

Clean facility, and was seen quickly they performed a cleaning at a reasonable price but they were unable to remove my wisdom tooth because they said it was a level five.they sent me across the way to someone who was able to do it later in the day. They only reason I gave them four star is because they made me wait in the office for about an hour after being seenwith little information on the next step and gave me confusing instruction to the other location even though it was literally around the corner read more

Unfortunately this place was referred to me but the 2 crowns I had done here have to be redone due to the margins being off. You get what you pay for I guess. And now I have to go through the agony of getting new crowns. Will not be going back to TJ for dental work. They guarantee their work but why would I go back to a place that couldn't get it right the first time. read more

I thought if I could share my experience with Washington dental, it would give people confidence to make the trip. My parents actually started going to Washington dental well over 30 years ago. I've been going for close to 20 years. The entire staff is great. They all speak English and the clients there are primarily all Americans. They have people that are patient coordinators that check you in and help you communicate all your request to the dentists. Personally, I have been seeing Edna and the dentist that I see is Dr. Peña. Edna it's always very helpful when I go in or if I call. Dr. Peña is absolutely the best. Over the years I have had routine cleanings, x-rays, cavities filled, some teeth pulled, and crowns, I've had an implant and I've had a bridge in the front of my mouth upper teeth. Its looks amazing. The quality of the work and the care is as good as the best that you can find on the San Diego side. The prices are probably 25 to 30% of the best dentists in the USA. I think a lot of people are confused about how to get down there. What I do is I drive to the very last exit, which is Camino de la Plaza. After I exit and I get to the stoplight, I make a left then I go over the bridge, then I make a right at the very first stoplight. On the right hand side there is a parking lot. There are multiple parking lots, but this is the one I use. It cost $10 to park there for the day. Then I walk across the border and enter on foot. It's very easy to do. I would say from the parking lot to the building that you enter to get into Tijuana it's maybe 3/4 of a mile. Once you get through the checkpoint. Obviously you need proper identification/passport. You walk through the other side and it leads you out through a series of paths until you get to a gate and there are taxis waiting right there. Take a green and white taxi. Just tell the driver to take you to Washington Dental. It's about a five to seven minute ride. Washington dental will pay for your taxi there and back, and if you bring your parking ticket and they will pay a portion of that. Once you get there, they will come out and pay the taxi. Then you sign in. There's a very nice waiting room with drinks, Internet, etc. eventually, one of the patient coordinators will call you in and you can discuss why you are there. After that, you'll be examined by a dentist and eventually they will make their recommendation of what to do. They will answer all of your questions and concerns and explain the entire process. Depending on the work, it may take multiple visits. Once you are ready to go back, they will call a taxi or one will be waiting , they will take you right back to the San Ysidro border, where the line to get back in starts. Some days the line is very quick and there have been times. I've waited a couple of hours. They will have people walking up and down the line offering to get you across faster but they charge. I just take the time to wait in the line. Eventually, you get through the gate and into the US side, where you process back in through US customs. Then you walk out of the building and back to the parking lot where you parked your car and you're done. I guess the first time you do it might be a little overwhelming which is why I wrote this out to share with people. Once you see a doctor and a patient coordinator, if you're happy with them, you can request them again, which is exactly what I do. Dr. Peña is better than any dentist I have seen in the USA and Edna makes me very comfortable when explaining and going through anything that is going to happen or answering my questions. Before you go, if you have any questions, just call them on the number on their website. They're extremely helpful. I haven't taken the time to write a review like this for anything else, but because it's such a great place to go for dental work and very much more affordable than anything on the USA side! read more

Professional all the way. Everyone speaks English and we were treated very well. They are no time and do what they say they will do. We saved more than 70% on our dental work compared to the U.S. side of the border. Highly recommend. read more

DO NOT GO TO WASHINGTON DENTAL, stay away at any cost ! Doctor was terrible, very incompetent . Terrible care and they don't take responsibility for their actions ! I heard a lot of bad stories about dental treatment, but what happened to me is quite unique ! I would not believe this story if it haven't happen to me. Came to this clinic with the simple task - treat 2 teeth which were very important in order to keep my denture in place and extract of two other teeth with lost bones. Beginning was good, I have a root canal and crown done for those important teeth. Nightmare begins a few week later when I came for extraction of those not needed teeth - I was under anesthesia and could not feel what doctor was doing..but when I looked at mirror after the procedure - I was totally shoked- doctor ( same one ! ) have extracted same teeth he have treated a few weeks ago! I can't image what he was thinking about ! I can't express ( without using F words) what I think about this doctor ! that happened few weeks ago and my life become miserable - my denture is very loose, I can eat just very soft food. My mouth is in much worse condition than it was before..Now I have to spend a lot of money to fix that absolutly insane treatment. Yes, they refunded money I spent over there, but how they can reimburse the damage what has been done, my mouth terrible condition and future treatment to fix it is very expensive ( need a few implants ) don't even think to go to this clinic! read more

Had one of my best dental experiences ever. Super easy, My wife will be there next month.

This place is first class. Obviously way cheaper than SD, easy to get to, excellent care... I'll never go anywhere else. I got a whole new perfect smile and I couldn't be happier. Easy five stars. read more

I've had my teeth examined and cleaned twice at Washington Dental. They are very thorough and professional.

I have been coming to Washington Dental for a few years now. Easy to cross border and take taxis to facility where the office pays for the taxi both to and from facility. No appointment necessary as they are well staffed with dentists, surgeons and dental assistants- many who speak English. My understanding is more that 90% of patients are from the US. Facility is clean, equipment up to date, professional looking. Staff are friendly, experienced and honest. Dr. Carolina Vazquez, is fabulous, painless and only recommends what you need. Over the years I have had implants, crowns, teeth cleaning - all very affordable. Jorge at the front desk is so helpful with details of service and cost. I have been able to save thousands of dollars here versus sane services in San Diego. I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

The staff and dentist were incredibly sweet and kind. Their care and professionalism made my visit a pleasant experience. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

We were scheduled to go on a family vacation within a week and my 17 year old son was experiencing a sudden increase of pain with his wisdom teeth coming in. We arrived at Washington Dental (drove ourselves) at around 10 AM on a Tuesday. After signing in at the front desk, we were in the office less than 15 minutes before my son was called back to get a 3D X-ray taken which allowed Dr. Guerrero to see exactly what the issue was with his teeth. JP, one of the Office Consultants assigned to manage our visit, explained Dr. Guerrero's recommendation to have one of the wisdom teeth extracted and went into great detail explaining the steps of the surgery. My son was in surgery for less than 30 minutes and came walking out and ready to go home. Dr. Guerrero prescribed my son pain medication, anti inflammatory medication, as well as antibiotic medication and also provided us with detailed and easy to understand at home care instructions. Since the removal of wisdom teeth is considered surgical, Washington Dental even provided us with a Medical Pass to bypass the lengthy line at the border to pass back into the United States, which made the situation much more convenient and comfortable for my son following surgery. I would also like to mention that the whole office was incredibly spacious with lots of natural lighting and very clean. The waiting room had more than enough comfortable chairs to relax in, along with a large flatscreen TV on the wall to view while waiting. They also offer a variety of complementary refreshments. The entire dental staff as well as the front office staff were all extremely helpful and courteous and our consultant JP was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in answering all of our many questions. A dental issue that would have costed much more money, not to mention time, was taken care of quickly and efficiently, and we could not be happier with the service that Washington Dental provided our family! read more

Ok, my wife went to a shady dentist a few years ago in Tijuana. (Other Dentist) They did a (deep clean)? and broke prior dental work and did a filling for my wife. The filling didn't last 2 years. My wife went back to that Dentist and they now said they need to do more work on the tooth and it would be $150+ She didn't want them to do anything and just left I told my wife lets go to Washington Dental as they have saved me twice before. I called and Spoke to Mario- no appointments were needed and we arrived around 11AM. Even though they were very busy she was seen within 15mins and we left at 11:45. They took care of her tooth and it was only $45. She couldn't believe how quick and painless everything was. Now she is telling her friends about Washington Dental! Thanks again, we'll be back for sure!!! read more

I had major dental work done here 4 years ago, and it has been by far, the best customer service experience I've ever had at any establishment, especially at a dentist office. Upon arrival, I noticed the place was very clean and all the staff were well dressed. There were complimentary refreshments available, a big screen TV, and a visible Password to jump on WI-FI. These small accommodations made for an easy wait time while other clients were cared for. When I was called back to my room, I immediately noticed how well everyone worked together to get my process started. As a skeptic I couldn't help but notice that all the equipment was new and in top notch condition. My exam, x-rays, and initial molds were done in a timely manner as the team worked together like a well oiled machine. The Dr. came in and discussed with me my condition, expressed all options and recommendations. I didn't feel any pressure to move in any direction, they were very informative of what it would take to get and maintain a healthy smile. While there, I had 6 Crowns A 3 tooth bridge A 7 tooth bridge And 3 root canals, at a fraction of what it would cost in the States.(Florida) I am an active Rugby player and the game is a high impact sport. I can't be more pleased with how well my teeth have been throughout these past 4 years, as I have had NO PROBLEMS or issues. I have and will continue to recommend Washington Dental for ANY dental care. I only get compliments on my smile, and I have Washington Dental and their staff to thank. For dental quality, cleanliness, and value, look no further. read more

Washington Dental Clinic - I'm So Thankful For The Staff at Washington Dental!!!! What an awesome experience!!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

I'm 76 years old and I've been going to Washington Dental for 12 years. In that time I've received 3 implants, and now all my real teeth are veneers and crowns. When I came to Washington Dental my teeth were a mess, many years of different dentists, and they straighten it out! I love my teeth, Dr Ramirez constructed a ledge behind my upper teeth, that fits my lower teeth perfectly, I chew better than I've ever chewed in my life! At my age, I know nutrition is important, and if you can't chew, you begin too avoid foods you should be eating, not good. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr Ramirez and the entire staff. read more

Had a dental implant put in. Tooth was initially infected with an extraction and bone graft needed. The procedure took nearly a year but Washington Dental staff was very accommodating. Taxi transportation is available from the border at no expense. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this clinic. The glue they used for veneers is inferior, causing the teeth to fall out frequently. They don't use that bonding type of glue with the light. Also, the dentist unnecessarily removed too much of the healthy teeth below so that the subsequent dentist has little to work with. I feel terrible about this as I had recommended this place to a friend who is now suffering with teeth frequently falling out. I only had my teeth cleaned there and didn't feel like they did a good job just at cleaning my teeth. Think like your untrained well meaning friend is cleaning your teeth. Also, they have people there who kind of "handle" you. These folks are like the sales men. They kind of charm and cajole and pressure you- think car salesmen- in the guise of being the language and cultural translators. They pressured my friend into paying lots of cash up front. The dentist spoke English, but access to any conversation with him was limited and there was always this pressure to decide everything quickly. There were lots of care decisions made under pressure this way. You won't have an appointment, so you are waiting in a large very large clean room with other Americans and a big TV. We always arrived right at 8 AM so didn't have to wait long but there is this feeling of uncertainty and that you are lucky to be seen. There are also a few creepy serious guys working there who might be security? but we felt uneasy about them. I chalked a lot of these things up to cultural differences at the time. In retrospect, We should have just walked out of there right from the beginning. This place might be ok for filling a simple cavity but I wouldn't go there for anything major. My friend went back within the 2 year window and had several teeth glued back in but they fell out again in under a month. So now he is out of luck with front teeth falling out and no recourse. read more

They are great there. And when you have work done you get a 2-year warranty. I had a four-tooth crowns and four teeth in a bridge done. And I chose the best material there is and it only cost $3,000. Plus I just went back the other day for a check and they did not charge me anything. They're very nice people and they work very hard to do the best job for you they can. That's what they did for me. read more

Just took a short trip across the border with my sister who was getting some work done so I decided to get my teeth clean. This place is super clean the staff was friendly and very professional. Don't be worried about the quality of work because the dentist are the best at half the price of dentist in the states. Most people are worried about coming across the border but have no fear it's safe. Plenty of parking in front of the office and they will give you a pass to get you into the express lane when you leave this will save so much time crossing over if you decide to drive which I do. I highly recommend Washington Dental in TJ. read more
