In my opinion, Dr Thelma Toledo is one of the few dentists on either side of the border who lives... read more up to the title of doctor. While I can't give a general review of all Mexican dentists, I would whole-heartily recommend her to anyone considering going to Mexico to save on exorbitant dental prices in the US.

I just had a consultation today with a dentist on an unrelated issue, who was extremely impressed with the crowns that Dr Thelma did for me. She said they were beautiful. I didn't know how good they were at the time, since I had some jaw pain at the time, but after a few days when my jaw realigned, wow, what a difference. The crowns had been done right and now for the first time in my adult life, I feel like I have a normal bite. My jaw has aligned perfectly and I literally thank her in my mind when I eat something and have comfort chewing now.

Other people are reviewing other dentists in that office, so people may have their favorite dentists in that office that they like, I had a super experience, so I am partial and will only let her work on me going forward. read less

My fiancé and I were very hesitant about going to Tijuana for dental procedures but it all worked out beyond... read more expectations. A dentist in San Diego told my fiancé that he would need a root canal on his chipped tooth and Dr. Thelma double checked only to find out that he actually didn't need a root canal. He just needed a fill and a crown. We ended up paying 1/3 of what they wanted to charge us in San Diego.

Dr. Thelma's office is very clean and the receptionist were very nice. The customer service here is amazing, they will direct you and walk you through every single step! I'm very happy we found a great dentist and we will continue to come here for any other dental procedures. read less

The best dentist clinic ever! Staff are welcoming friendly, polite, & always make sure I leave satisfied. I had my... read more wisdom teeth taken out procedure was calming, fast, & I wasn't in pain even after surgery. Looking forward to now getting my braces in my mouth from them. Thanks out of all appointments I gone to went to in San Diego, & in Laguna Hills. You guys is best decision choice I chosen from thank you! read less

The location is super close to the border ! We literally got to the dental office in less than 10... read more min . It was easily found , and as soon as me and husband walked into the clinic they greeted us and attended us  offered water etc . The office on its own looks very clean and organized ! I'm excited to continue coming back for dental work ! Highly recommend read less

I got a cleaning done in the US last year, left the office with a serious quote... more than $8000.... read more I'm from Europe and I hadn't been to the dentist for years since I had moved to the US... Well, a few months later, I chipped one tooth on Thanksgiving Day, after doing lots of research on where to go without breaking the bank... I decided to call Advanced Smiles Dentistry, got an appointment the next day.

I parked my car in the US, crossed the border by foot, Sofia called an Uber for me and stayed on the phone until I got in the car to make sure I was safe. I was very pleased with everyone speaking perfectly English and how nice, confortable and clean was their office. All the girls were very friendly and informative, I was offered water and wifi password while filling out some paperwork.

Dr Thelma Toledo performed a thorough exam, Xrays, gave me a quote, which looked just like the one I got in the US, needless to say, MUCH more affordable ! I ended up paying 1/3 of what I'd have paid in San Diego. Crowns, root canal, cavities, old fillings that needed to be replaced... you name it! My husband also came with me for a deep cleaning.

A few appointments later and many hours at their office...I left today for the last one and I'm beyond satisfied with Dr Toledo's work. She is sweet, patient, professional and dedicated to provide the best service. She answered all my questions, and took really good care of me.

I asked for a mouthguard grinding and whitening kit, took the impressions today and they'll be mailing it directly to my house when ready, that is what I call great service !

I also want to thank all the girls that helped me along the way, from calling me a ride back and forth to the border many many times, to calling me in between appointments to follow up: Carolina, Liz, Vanessa, Andrea, Sofia, all the Dr's assistants and those I forgot; outstanding service, you are all amazing!

I highly recommend this place, I have found my dental office for many years to come! read less

Went to get some fillings great staff friendly will be going back thank you advance smiles:

Ok.  I had been very bad and had not visited a dentist for a regular visit like one is supposed... read more to for over 15 years.  I came because I needed root canals, crowns, extractions, fillings, and have a DEFINITE phobia of dentistry.  All my treatment took 4 visits. They were fabulous!  Answered all my questions.  Did deep cleaning.  Did above listed procedures.  (Ok, just needed one extraction thank goodness) Did not have periodontal disease as my u.s. dentist told me.  Anesthesia is available, they knocked me out each time.  My husband was beside me the entire time.  He asked questions and everything was exlpained to him.  Things feel great after final visit.  Just love this place.  They really understand my panic attacks, do great work, and take care of you well.  I had no anxiety going into any of these appointments.  I have found my home for major dental work.  Truly, highly recommend! read less

I was apprehensive to go to Mexico for dentistry, but I needed quite a bit of work done,and didn't want... read more to spend the $4500 I was quoted in the U.S. I also don't have a passport and worried that would be a problem. The Advanced Smiles team has been amazingly nice and a better experience than my U.S. dentist, and I'm paying less than half the cost. I have been able to get across the border both ways with just my birth certificate and drivers license. read less

Excellent service! Very helpful, friendly and quality dental work !!! I would definitely recommend coming here if you need dental... read more work outside the states 🙂 read less

Great dentists. I got a root canal and several cavity fillings. Job was excellent. Would recommend to anyone traveling to... read more Tijuana. Very cheap prices as well. read less

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

The employees at Advanced Smiles in Tijuana are the nicest and most accommodating people you will ever meet! I must... read more admit that I was a bit nervous because I needed A LOT of dental work....5 root canals, 5 crowns, and several fillings! I haven't been to the dentist in many years because I have so much anxiety with dental work. They put me at ease from the moment I walked into their office.

Sophia was the sweetest lady and really made things so much easier for me by making sure I had safe transportation to and from my hotel. She has a genuine heart for helping others. The other office girls were just as kind and helpful. They always had a smile on their pretty faces!

Dr. Larissa was the most patient dentist/doctor I've ever met! She worked on me for a total of 4 days.... and the 1st 2 days she worked on me from opening until closing! She never rushed me and made sure that I was very numb before proceeding with any treatment. She is young but VERY smart and skilled!

I traveled from Mississippi to get my work done. I was quoted $13k for work done in the states but only paid $4500 here at Advanced Smiles. I would recommend Advanced Smiles to any of my family members. They made my experience the best!

Also, they gave me a pill to help me relax during the treatment. I slept through so much of the work! I woke myself up snoring several times! read less

TL;DR Advanced Smiles is amazing! I would give 10 stars if I could.

I began looking into dentists in Mexico after... read more being told that my dental work in CA would cost well over $15k. When I told my CA dentist that there was no way that I could afford that insane cost, and they told me that they provided payment plans. I was not going into major debt over this. I had heard that dentistry in Mexico was substantially cheaper for the exact same thing. When I told my family/friends that I was considering this course of action they all gave me the same "you're going to Mexico?!" reaction. Despite their reservations, my wife and I went ahead and made the appointment.

Our experience was fantastic! Everyone there speaks great English so there is no miscommunication. Their equipment is top of the line and their bedside manner is perfect. Every time I walk in, I am greeted as warmly as if I were entering a friend's house. They do all they can to make you as comfortable as possible while working on you. Also, I get really anxious at the dentist and they noticed this and offered an anti-anxiety medicine (which really helped).

I ended up having 5 appointments with them to remove 2 wisdom teeth, repair a broken tooth, perform 2 root canals, some fillings, and a cleaning. Dr. Celia was phenomenal. She sat me down and walked me through all my options, allowing me to choose what I felt was best. I thought that I would have to have my broken tooth pulled and have an implant put in (which would have cost a lot more money), but Dr. Celia was able to save the tooth. I was amazed! After each appointment, they would call and check in on me to see how I was feeling. They even helped me get an uber to the pharmacy and back to the border crossing. Most of all, I am no longer in constant pain thanks to their team.  

They are truly great people and I can't recommend them enough! read less

One of the best experiences in a dental office. Dr. Julian has a very soft hand, which you don't even... read more feel is working in your mouth. Prices are way better than prices in the U.S, I saved more than 50%. Costumer service with Andrea, Carolina etc is simply the best. The same way they offer you Uber service if you want to leave your car in a parking lot in the U.S and so avoid crossing the border by car. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family. read less

I had the best experience. Even if it was the same price as an American dentist I would come here.... read more I had a root canal, a filling, a crown and a cleaning and because they took their time I didn't have any pain.

By far the best Dentistry in Tijuana a modern look and great treatment. Doctors are very experienced and knowledgeable.  Five... read more stars for sure in my eyes..... read less

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.

They have a client for life read less

First, I want to thank the staff for being so nice to me and my wife, and for taking such... read more good care of me.

My exam showed I needed a root canal and crown. About an hour after the exam, they were ready to start. The process was practically painless and I was very impressed with the meticulous attention to detail and the advanced technology they used. I was also impressed with the teamwork. 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. Next week I look forward to getting the permanent crown with every confidence that it too will be perfect. 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. I was able to fly in to San Diego from San Francisco, get picked up from the airport, go to the dentist, fly back to San Francisco, all in one day and still have plenty of money left over. 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. 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

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. The whole experience was totally painless. The dentist Dr Larissa was super patient, gentle, and took her time to get it right. The entire staff was super nice. I now look forward to getting the rest of my teeth fixed. Well worth the long trip from Las Vegas. read less

I was terrified of coming to the dentist, I avoided coming for almost 10 years but I'm so glad I... read more came to this dentist. They were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. I've needed a lot of work done and the ladies here gave me the best work possible. read less
