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 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

Great services. They break down what needs to be done, and the price points. Very affordable.

I had my front 2 teeth knocked out due to an accident.  I pulled up yelp and went to the... read more highest rated location near me.  And I went to advanced smiles.  Now I hate the dentist and haven't beenin years.  So I didn't have very  high expectations   I expected to wait for an appointment and sit and wait at my appointment time.  That's what happens at the dentist right?   The lady that answered heard what happened and got me within a day or so.    I went to my consultantation. And I explained if they were competitive I would go with them.  They quoted me a price. I agreed and I showed up for the appointment.  I was sat immediately and everything was handled my a professional AND pleasant person from start to finish.   I was impressed read less

A little about me: I am 26 years old and I live in El Cajon. I wanted to get a little work done on my teeth but didn't have dental insurance. I then yelped and reviewed a few dentists in TJ. Now I know you all may be a little skeptic with going to Tijuana just for tacos , let alone going there for dental work, but don't believe the stigma. This is a top professional dental office that had nothing but EXCELLENT reviews!

One thing that really made me want to go , is the fact that all of the employees are BI-Lingual , which is soooo good because I don't know a lick of Spanish .

When I got to the office , I had to get buzzed in by the employees which is a good sign because it reassured my safety. When i walked in the office, everything was top notch! So clean and the girls at the front desk were sooo welcoming and sooo informative. I have to give a shoutout to my girls Paola and Sofie (the two girls in my pictures) that we're soooo helpful and always remembered who I was when I called to follow up. That really showed that they cared for my experience and really enjoyed their job enough to always greet me on the phone with kindness and always helping with my appointments!!!

I wanted to come in and get a few crowns but they gave me a whole new smile makeover!!! I legit couldn't stop smiling after leaving the office! They priced me and helped me with deals!!! ****if you pay cash upfront , you get a 10% discount**** which really helped me!

One crown in the US ranges from $800.00-$1,400 per crown..

But a crown here in Mexico aka Tijuana is priced $450.00!! And they were worth it!!!  

I also want to give a huge shoutout to my Dentist who gave me my new pearly whites! Thank you sooo much DR. Thelma Toledo!!!! She is sooo professional and informative and didn't sugarcoat ANYTHING! She gave you her honest opinions and recommended what was best! She also apologized for being a perfectionist .. but I told her , there is nothing to be sorry about, my smile is in your hands and I trust you know what you are doing  

All and all I wish I could rate this office 6 stars because with the level of professionalism and their compassion , I really felt safe and welcomed in the office! I'm sooo glad i stumbled upon your yelp reviews because your work speaks for itself! Way to go advanced smiles! You've gained a happy client and I will definitely return for future cleanings and fillings etc read less

I have found my Dentist!

I have been putting off some reconstructive dental care for some time and finally decided to... read more look into Dentists in Mexico.

Based on other reviews I went with Advanced Dental Care and am thrilled I did!

From phone conversations w Poala to all of the friendly assistants and Dr. Jose Metzler, all were very professional and personable and comforting.

The office was very modern and staff was constantly cleaning.

They have state of the art equipment and facilities...I was very impressed with the technology.

Best part was there has been very minimal discomfort during the recovery for all of the work I had done the first day.

I am getting implants and now understand the process..looking forward to fantastic results!

Highly recommend this business! read less

I first visited Advanced Smiles Dentistry about a year and a half ago and then again recently. Great place and... read more excellent customer service. Recently my mother in law was in a lot of pain. I should have left her to suffer for a few days 🙂 but we went down to Tijuana and she ended up feeling much better within a few hours. I had a root canal that needed to have the crown replaced and Advanced Smiles did a great job. read less

I'm a 46 year old blonde haired blue eyed surfer from the Malibu area. I generally wouldn't write a review... read more this detailed but I feel it's important for people to realize that going to Tijuana for dental is not only safe but in my eyes better in a lot of ways. I first drove down from Calabasas where I live being skeptical and scared as hell. My friend had recently done it and bragged about the wonderful experience. So I figured I would try for myself and have a consultation which was free and the whole staff was really friendly and I actually felt that cared unlike a lot of doctors and dentists in America. I have now been down several times. Obviously I have felt a slight discomfort from the numbness going away but literally no pain that night or the next day. Anyone even thinking about going to Tijuana for dental think no longer. Feel free to contact me. I can tell you the best routes to take. I have only been to Mexico by myself, I speak no Spanish, I have never seen any of the craziness people talk about. My border walk has been 5 min the most. Cab rides are approximately $4 from border to Advanced Smiles. Uber runs about $2.75-$3 per trip. read less

I love Dr. Alejandra and her team.  I'm embarrassed to admit this but I have avoided going to the dentist... read more for a few years... Even with a broken tooth.  My fiance has been coming here... And highly recommended it. I came here... Tantrums and all... But so happy I did.  Dr. Alejandra was very thorough in explaining every step... Made it so enjoyable and most importantly, painless! I won't ever be scared to come see her.  Will highly recommend Advanced Smiles Dentistry.  Thank you so much. read less

I'll be making a trip to Tijuana in about 1-2 months from Virginia to have all my teeth done. Before... read more making this trip I need to know as much about the procedures and what the cost will be so it's not a wasted trip. Dr. Julian D has been so patient with me and I can't tell you how grateful I am for his patience! I look forward to having a beautiful smile for the first time in my life!!

I almost forgot, I referred my brother to Advanced Smiles Dentistry to my brother whose having his teeth done on July 4th.

Best Wishes!!

I can't praise Advanced Smiles Dentistry enough!  As others have commented, they couldn't be nicer and almost the entire staff... read more speaks English.  The dental work I've had done thus far has been top notch.  Their office is modern and lovely and they have advanced equipment even the dentists I've been to in Orange County don't have.  Paola is usually the one I've spoken to on the phone and she has the sweetest and friendliest voice and makes you feel genuinely welcome.  Dr Thelma has been my dentist and she's not only competent but very gentle.  I just had two crowns put in and she did a beautiful job.  I've also had periodontal work done and they're excellent in that regard too.  Because they are so good, the only downside is it can be hard to nail down an appointment time.  They're currently booked out a month.  They're good about calling you if cancellations come up ( they might take you sooner if you have an emergency-  I don't know because that's never happened to me.)  I was concerned about Tijuana at first and crossing the border but now I have a system where I park my car in a parking lot ($8 per day or $18 on weekends.)  I walk across and catch a cab ($5) and it takes under 5 minutes to get there (they will email you the directions in Spanish to give to the driver) and after my appt. they call an Uber to drop me off to walk across the border ($3.00).  Needless to say the little extra effort to go there can save you 1000's of dollars.  They richly deserve my praise but I wonder if adding to all the glowing reviews will make it 2 months to get in!...LOL 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

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.

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.

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.

At different stages of the process, specialists stepped in to take over. At the end of the day, I had a perfectly fitted temporary crown.

Spend the day in Tijuana getting my front tooth fixed. Root canal, post/core, Zirconia crown. I'm happy as a clam... read more can be. I can finally smile again. A Las Vegas dentist quoted me $2145 w/o insurance. Paid $720 and the work was done as good or better than any other dental work I have ever had done in the US. I was quoted $800 with 10% cash discount and that is what I paid. No up-selling. No extras. No taxes. Spend $80 on gas, $25 on parking on the US side, $5 plus tip on a cab ride, $3 for the best tacos I ever had. The temporary fits so well I can't even feel that I just had it all done.

Went there because my Delta HMO plan sucks.
