My husband Gene,  has been coming to this dentist for about a month. I've seen the excellent way that they... read more care of him. The staff at the front desk is great.  The doctors are outstanding.  I will be having my teeth cleaned today. Yes, it's a drive into Tijuana. But, it is wort it. I love this place. read less

I AM SPEECHLESS! They made my dream come true. People who work there are super professional. My teeth look better... read more than I thought! I am so happy. The price in America was crazy and my parents did not want to spend so much money on my smile so the only hope was México...The price was 3 times less than original! My parents let me have the smile of my dream and the doctors made it happen. My  teeth look so natural and beautiful. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend this clinic to everyone. They really take care of their patients read less

Dra. Celia and her assistants have a great bedside manner and they are very professional and very willing to help... read more and answer any and all questions. They were able to make extra time for me as wel.I had multiple fillings, deep cleaning, and teeth extractions for a quarter of what it would've cost in the US. Good value. read less

I'm terrified of the dentist. I always had really bad experiences in the past because of low level of tolerance... read more to anesthesia. I came across Advanced Smiles Dentristy online, I had never been to a dentist in Tijuana but my insurance had expired so I decided to give them a shot. The place is really modern, clean, the staff is friendly and they are all bilingual. I explained them my issue and they assured me it was gonna be painless...and it was. They gave me a pill to help me relax, some anesthesia and I even fell asleep during a root canal.

Dr Celia is the best, I feel like I'm talking to an old friend every time I see her.

Yeah, it is a bit of a drive but you are saving money while getting a great service. I highly recommend this place. read less

Went there alone, female, from San Diego and it was sooooo easy!! I highly recommend this place! Take the trolly... read more or your car to the border, then just Uber there is the best way.

Very nice and helpful staff! Very beautiful and insanely clean office. I was very impressed with the staff and low prices and the professionalism. I can't believe how beautiful and natural my new veneers look!! They look better than my friends and family who have gotten theirs done in the states. Honestly. 100% recommend this place!! read less

The staff was very friendly, their office was clean and the dentist answered all our questions and made sure I... read more was doing okay throughout the treatment. I would definitely recommend coming here. read less

I have a ton of dental work needed, root canal, extractions for dental implants, fillings and veneers.. I'm actually excited... read more to be getting it done! The staff has been extremely courteous! The facility is clean and stylish. The work and care plan are efficient. I will be recommending to all my friends and family! read less

I was a typical American, a little nervous about having quite a bit of dental work done in Mexico but... read more I had read great reviews and decided to take a chance. I had gone to a local dentist to get an estimate for the work I needed and it was like going to a used car salesman and it was only to start. The price was ridiculous and unaffordable to pay all that up front. I decided to visit Advanced Smiles and made the trip from LA to Tijuana. When i got there, i found the office very nice and clean, the staff very helpful and friendly and my dentist Dr. Cecile Flores very friendly, capable and skilled. I had quite a bit of work to do that I had put off for a long time  and they dealt with me in the most professional and helpful way.They worked with my budget to schedule payments that were comfortable. I have nothing but raves to say about the great service i received. I happen to be a professional trumpet player and am very sensitive about the dental care I was looking for.I can't say enough about the work they did and now i still drive there to get my teeth cleaned. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate everyone at Advanced Smiles Dentistry! read less

As someone who used to hate the dentist, this office has completely changed my outlook ! I lost my American... read more insurance and was 2 years overdue for the dentist. I needed an urgent root canal, 6 fillings,cleaning,and a wisdom tooth extraction. The staff are friendly,knowledgeable, and all around amazing ! I've received horrible care from my dentists in California and had no idea that visits could be so easy and pain free ! Never experienced any discomfort or anxiety at this office during a procedure. Clinic is easy to get to. I park at the lot behind the San Ysidro Jack in the Box, walk across the border then call an Uber from Farmacia Milena to the office. Don't know where my receipts are but I'm pretty sure I didn't pay more than $1600 over the course of all my work. I recommend this place to all my peers. read less

I have an extreme fear of the dentist. Advanced Smiles made me feel very confortable. I experience great customer service,... read more everyone there was extremely profecional and polite. They have new and advanced dental equipment. They provided me with a complimentary CT scan of my jaw and the dentist was very patient and informative. I was provided with great options for treatment. If you have PPO insurance they will provide you with the necessary paperwork to make a claim. If you walk across the border they will provide you with an uber to and from. I will be returning for treatment and will provide with an update. read less

Got my teeth whitened here and they did a fantastic job for a fraction of the cost in the US.... read more Will definitely come back for the rest of my dental work. read less

Excellent choice for dental implants. Dr. Metzler was very nice and really did a good job of putting my implants.... read more I was scared and nervous at first but he made me feel comfortable through the whole process. The ladies in the front desk were very friendly too. It's a small place but they have high tech machines. I highly recommend this place, specially Dr. Metzler. 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

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

I had 4 wisdom tooth removed and general clean up done yesterday, 2 of the tooth needed surgery.  I couldn't... read more be happier with the whole experience, the staff and the doctors are truly professionals. Also, I was impressed with the state of the art equipment this facility has in place.

I was treated by Dr. Alejandra helping her was Dr. Cinthia and surgery was done by Dr. Luis. Not to forget Andrea at reception who repeatedly offered to call me an uber. I'm very thankful to this team, they really made my experience at this facility a great one. read less

I was quoted about $8,000 in San Diego to get a root canal with porcelain crown. I got it done... read more at Advanced Dental for under $800. You do the math. Since then, I've gotten a couple other procedures done including a deep cleaning; I estimate I've saved over $10,000 in dental work over the last couple years.

The staff is awesome - courteous and helpful. The dentists are knowledgeable and communicative. I always felt well taken care of here.

For those who wonder if it's worth the hassle of crossing the border - in my opinion, yes. Luckily, I have a flexible schedule at work so I've usually been able to squeeze my appointments in during the middle of the day on a weekday - the return at the border is far more tenable at that time. 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

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

These fine folks are hands down the best dentist I've ever been to. Very polite, friendly, and kind. They will... read more assist with everything from calling an Uber to getting a milkshake . ?

It was an excellent experience! Everyone was very nice and helpful. They really explained everything in detail. We will get... read more all of our dental work done here from now on. I highly recommend them. 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

Great experience! They were very thorough and made sure everything was pain free. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

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

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

UPDATE WAIT TIME: No problem crossing the border, was actually faster than usual at 1030am wed 11/21. Don't... read more be scared of the usual scare tactics by the media. However, if you're driving across, then yes, there looked like a significant wait, but not for walking across (either direction).

As usual, received great care by the dental team and will be returning for another visit. 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

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

I had a great experience! I recently broke a tooth and to fix it in the US was more than... read more I could afford. I received a prompt reply from Roberto and scheduled an exam. Dr, Julian and all the staff were so friendly and professional. They took great care of me and at a price I could afford.

Best Dental Expierence I've ever had! I needed some dental work and saw my regular San Diego dentist, when I... read more was given the estimate for the proposed work, I decided it was time to check over the boarder. After reading some reviews on FB and Yelp, I chose Advanced Smile Dentistry. I could not have been more pleased with my whole expierence.
