My partial broke on a Friday night, I called the office Saturday morning and was told that there were no... read more immediate openings however they could place me on the reserve list in case someone cancels. I received a call about an hour later telling me there is now an opening available for that Monday @ 10:40AM. Showed up and had my new partial by 5:30PM that same day! I cannot thank everyone here enough, from everyone at the front desk (cant remember there names sorry), one of which came outside to find me because I couldn't locate the office, to Dr. Julian and his assistant Karla for the patience and knowledge! Thank you all, its hard to find honest and great dental work. I have a lot more work to do and looking forward to it here-See you all soon! read less

I am so happy to have been referred to this office and have had  Dr. Metzler handle my implant procedure!

They... read more have a local number to make appointments, and once I got there I was impressed by their state-of-the art offices and friendly staff.  I had a full set of X- rays taken and was provided a treatment plan and pricing which makes the trip so worth it!

I agreed to start with my implant that same day and paid in cash. I had to go back to have the impression taken for my crown and at the third visit I had it placed. I was thrilled at the result! My implant looks perfectly natural thanks to the detailed work Dr. Metzler put in it. I will start my 2nd implant promptly. See you soon and thanks again!! read less

I was using a different dentist in TJ.  Read the reviews for here and made an apt.  At first I... read more was a little concerned because of all the x rays and examination.  I figured the hard sell was coming.  NOPE.  They are just super thorough and gave me a detailed treatment plan.  Nothing new...all stuff that I was aware of.  The staff is amazing and super energetic and friendly. Very impressed!!  Cleanliness was top notch, they had state of the art equipment and also located in a easy to get to location from the San Ysidro border.   My dental issue would have costed me $600-$700 here in San Diego.  Total cost at Advanced Smiles Dentistry...$100 plus 5$ Uber ride.  Highly recommend Dr Jose L. Metzler!! read less

Am a patient of Dr Metzer currently under going rather extensive dental work. I am at the 5 month mark... read more in my implant procedure and am excited to get my crowns in 2 weeks. The service I have received from Dr. Metzer and his entire staff has been first rate from the initial consultation to the present. Excellent dental care at an affordable rate compared to what I have been quoted in the states. The offices are as clean and well equipped as any I have been in. The entire staff addresses me by name although I cannot remember all their names I would like to mention Andrea at the Front desk who has been more than helpful with scheduling my appts, addressing my payment needs and calling Uber for a ride back to the border.I'd like to mention that I have crossed the border 6 times since my initial visit. In light of recent events at the border I was a bit apprehensive about my appointment this morning. It was the easiest crossing I have had to date with no issues what so ever. I am looking forward to having all my dental needs done at this office. In doing my do diligence I found this facility rated # 1 on yelp. It is a rating that is well deserved. My family and friends are taking a wait and see attitude but I have a feeling they will be patients as well.

This has worked out beyond my expectations read less

A great experience, well worth the trip from Boston, Doctors and staff very professional could not be happier.

It was much easier than I anticipated! I didn't have a passport and they let me over. I came alone... read more and the girls sent me an uber. The uber takes you straight to the office and you get started! The place is very clean and the girls are super nice! I would highly recommend! read less

I am at a loss of words for how good of a place this is.  I am scared of the... read more dentist for some reason and avoided it for 10 years, I felt perfectly comfortable the whole time.  My root canal was literally painless, and they did 5 fillings when I thought they did 1 it was magical.  My fillings are smooth and fit my jawline just right.  They actually cared to make my fillings fit, I now see how my previous dentists cut corners in the US.  My fillings in the US always made my floss fray, were bumpy and rough feeling.  These are talented dedicated dentists who are proud of their work, a real gem.  No communication issues what so ever, the opposite in fact. read less

I am in the midst of some significant reconstructive dental work.  I looked into having work done in Tijuana because... read more it will be so expensive.  I flew down from Seattle and 'scouted' things out months ago, scheduling examinations with 5 different dentists over two days so I could get a feel for whether 'dental tourism' is for me.

I came away confident in all of dentists I visited, but I was most impressed with Advanced Smiles Dentistry.  Their technology is better than my local dentist.  My first exam lasted over two hours, with Dr. Metzler taking the time to explain everything with 3D graphic displays of MY TEETH and going over all the treatment options.

Since then I have had a lot of invasive work done, and we're only part way through the entire plan, but I am very satisfied and confident in the work done.  The work is efficient, properly medicated (i.e. pain is managed), and so far everything is going according to plan.  My wife is even having some work done because, hey - we're  here together so why pay more?

Everyone in the office treats you great, and the communication with Liz is excellent - she even arranged pick up at the San Diego airport for us.  Considering all the work to be done, I will probably save over $25,000 USD between my wife and I - that can cover a lot of plane tickets from Seattle to San Diego.

The idea of travelling so far to Tijuana for dental work may make you nervous, but I have absolute confidence this is both the right dental and financial decision. read less

Nice, profesional ,clean, English speaking, Dentistry in Tijuana. Save a lot money compared to USA dental prices....Highly Recommend.

If I hadn't done the research and found out about Dental Tourism I would not be ale to afford the... read more crazy costs of fixing my teeth.

I spent several hour researching and reading reviews. I narrowed it down to 2 dentists, when I called the offices, both in Tiajuana, it was the helpful and informative young lady who helped me make my decision, (I wish I could remember her name).

The office is as nice as any in Newport Beach with state of the art equipment and the employees are all so friendly, all speak English. My dentist is Dr Alejandra Flores and I love her! She has 1/2 my teeth done and I'm so happy with my new smile. Going back for the bottom in June. My husband is also now a patient too.

Some friends thought I was nuts to go to Mexico to get dental work but as we talked more to others about it  we found out how many actually know how beneficial and cost effective it is. I'm not going to go back to paying 4 times more here at home. I'll be a dental tourist from now on! read less

My daughter just got a full set of veneers that look amazing. So pleased with the work that was done.... read more She will be going back to get implants in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read less

I was down in Tijuana on Monday and I did a bunch a research online and on yelp. Comparing prices... read more and most recent reviews as well. I decided to make an appt with advanced smiles for a deep cleaning. I walked in and was surprised of how professional the office looked ( better than the one I visited here in the US last week) All the staff was very friendly and professional, I met with Dra. Thelma Toledo and she explained that I needed my wisdom teeth removed ASAP, which I had no clue. She talked me thru the x-rays and the condition of my mouth and answered all the questions I had throughly. She recommended the deep cleaning for me and I couldn't of asked for better results. Very happy with the work she did on me, I'll be back for future visits here. It's definitely a must to come here for any dental work!! read less

It's a clean and modern clinic with great equipment. Doctors are knowledgeable and friendly; and so are everyone else working.... read more Roberto is a cool manager. He picks up the patients coming from the states at the border upon request. Perhaps, most importantly, they don't try to rip you off like the dentists in the states. read less

Had two crowns done here.

I was pretty nervous about the dentist in general, but they made things so comfortable!

When... read more we crossed the border, we gave them a call and they arranged an Uber for us.

When you walk in, they offer you bottled water. Everyone was so friendly and nice in the office.

Wait time was just a couple of minutes, got to my chair and had X-rays done, then discussed my treatment plan. My dentist here caught things that the one in the US didn't.

I mentioned I was nervous, and they gave me something to help with that. She explained everything to me in clear detail about the work they were doing.

At one point, I got cold (because I am always cold) and they pulled out a blanket!

I came back about a week later to have the zirconia crowns put in. I am very happy with them, and my experience at Advanced Smiles Dentistry.

I would choose this office again without question. It was a great experience! read less

5 Star service and 5 Star expertise, the entire crew is all about servicing the client. If you are concerned... read more about going to a dentist in a foriegn country, don't be! I received better service, better work, and at a significantly lower price than in the US. Advance Smile's largest percentage of customers are from outside of Mexico.

Traveling to Tijuana is safe, people are kind and going to Advanced Smiles Dentistry is a must if your looking... read more for a high end dentistry office with a friendly staff. Is about a $4 cab ride from the border and I would highly recommend this place. I’m a blonde haired surfer from Calabasas which is the suburbs inland from Malibu. I don’t speak Spanish. The friendly staff all speak perfect English and every customer there are people from America. I have been there several times for work done and don’t generally give reviews this extensive but I want people to know that has been a wonderful experience for me. Painless, clean, state of the art equipment. Sitting in the chair you would think your in Beverly Hills or any other high end Dentistry office. read less

Dental Adventure!

Everything here is straightforward & actually easier to understand than what I’ve experienced in the States. They provide detailed... read more printed info sheets showing whats what, where triage is necessary & what can wait. The staff has excellent communication skills & it’s really quick & easy to get to from LA. Just drive to the border, park at the outlet malls, cross the border & hop in an Über.

I said to the Dr., “ Should I just get an implant rather than replace my crown?” She said,” No, a tooth is an organ. Its a part of your body & if I were you I would keep it as long as I can.” That is a very human thing to say, & I really appreciate it. My old metal fillings are gone & my crown is better than its ever been. They were kind enough to numb me out for the cleaning too because my teeth are unbearably sensitive. read less

My exam showed I needed a root canal and crown. About an hour after the exam, they were ready to start.

First of all, I want to Thank All the Doctors and Staff at Advance Smile dentistry. I had called on... read more Wednesday for an appointment to see a doctor, I was told the next available appointment was for next following week. I had mentioned I had a really bad toothache and wasn’t able to wait for the following week, the receptionist stated she was going to help me. She made it happen, the very next day I drove from LA to TJ to see a doctor. I had the very last appointment of the day.

The reason I mention this is very important because, there closing hours are at 6pm. The staff stayed open after 7:30pm including several doctors assisting me to make sure I wasn’t in pain anymore. They went above and beyond their duties and helped me find a local hotel.

Caring staff, beautiful and modern office, incredible prices!

I came here for a root canal plus a bunch of other... read more stuff. There were complications with my RC and they explained everything in great detail and made me feel as comfortable as possible.

The huge negative for me, which has nothing at all to do with this clinic or my experience with them, is the expense, hassle, and time involved with traveling to TJ so often. I live in San Diego (Alpine) so it's about a 45 min drive to the border. I park on the US side, and on Saturdays it's $25 to park plus $7 taxi to the clinic. They call an Uber ($5 with tip) for me to get back to the border. Then there's often a three hour wait to walk back across. It's an all day, exhausting, expensive, bummer. I think I've had 5 visits there so far with several more to go. I'm still saving a ton of money, but the inconvenience really isn't worth it for me. I have a crazy stressful job and spending an entire Saturday in TJ is not how I want to spend my day off.

With that being said, if you live out of state and need a lot of work, you can stay in a hotel in TJ for a few days and get it all done at once. I'm sure it would be a much better experience if done that way. read less

I couldn't be happier with my dental experience at Advanced Smiles Dentistry. I've needed implants for a few years but... read more I had been putting it off because of how much it costs in U.S. I did some research on dental tourism and found Advanced Smiles Dentistry in Tijuana. I just had 3 implants placed and it cost a third of what I had been quoted from my U.S. dentist. I also would like to state just because it's cheaper doesn't mean the implants lacked in quality..... they turned out very nice. Advanced Smiles are a group of young professionals that are up on the latest procedures and are very skilled. Dr.Julian De Anda Sevilla and his staff are all English speaking and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Roberto has been my coordinator from day one. He picks you up at the border and will answer any questions before and after your visit.
