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

l lost one of the caps on one of my molars by eating into a jolly rancher. Mi jefe found... read more this place because of the excellent reviews! We are so happy. Prices still more affordable than the US. Dr. Julian who I recommend has great "dentist chair" manner. I barely felt a thing when he put the numbing shots. He is kind enough to warn you if there are spots which are less comfortable that he needs to inject. I never felt like I was waiting too long. Dr. Julian always explained what he was about to do and why it was necessary. So Thank you so much!!! I'm back today to get my permanent cap. I'm actually looking forward to it! 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

As a worried daughter, I wanted to make sure I would find a qualified dentistry with reasonable procedure costs for... read more my mother. I was surprised by the abundance of positive reviews. After my visit, I recommend them 100%. I'll be coming back to get work done on myself.

Dr. Thelma and Dr. Julian were extremely professional. There is no rush from the moment you enter their office and are greeted by their energetic front desk.

They made my mother and I feel at ease by explaining which were my mother's problem areas and how they were going to proceed with each procedure. Dr. Julian walked us through what he saw in each dental xray.

Their lobby was super comfortable and they have wifi! Both of which made my stay seem super short. Everything was impeccably clean and modern.

If you've had bad experiences with other dentists, you'll see a noticible difference in professionalism and competency at Advanced Smiles.

Things to know:

CALL NOW!!!  AND make an appointment because they are busy!

Plan ahead of time if you're crossing the border. Parking is available but the area is congested.

The front desk receptionists are extremely helpful and will call an uber/ taxi for you. read less

If you're American and are on the fence about getting dental work done in Mexico... Read my review and then... read more make an appointment!!!!!

First of all I'd like to start this review by mentioning that I am from San Diego and was quite hesitant about going to Mexico for dental care. But after my experience with Dr. Larissa at Advanced Smile Dentistry I will recommend this dentist to my friends and family no matter where they live.

I personally don't have dental insurance which is what brought me to Mexico for dental work. I had a tooth that had cracked on me a while ago that I needed to have fixed and knew that it would require a crown and I knew I couldn't afford to pay for that out of pocket in the U.S.

I made an appointment over the phone and when my appointment day came it was a quick and easy drive across the border into TJ, and they have a pay parking lot right across the street from the office building which made it quite convenient.

Dr. Larissa was extremely friendly and took the time to explain everything that they recommended for my dental care. They did a full set of X-rays, and examination, and thorough cleaning all within the first hour. All of the equipment they use is just as good, if not better, than the dental equipment you would find in an American dentist office. Dr. Larissa was very cognizant of any time I was uncomfortable and altered her techniques to avoid any pain I may have been feeling.

When it came time to work on the cracked tooth that I came in for she did her very best to avoid a root canal, but after removing the damaged tooth and taking multiple X-rays it was aware that the best course of action for the future health of my tooth was to do a root canal and and prep for a crown instead of a filling. They have a root canal specialist (Dr. Luis) and he came in immediately to perform the root canal and then Dr. Larissa returned to do the build-up on my tooth.

One thing that I'd like to mention is how busy this office is, but even so, Dr. Larissa still fit me into her schedule the very next day to have my temporary crown put on, and 5 days later to cement the permanent crown. I told Dr. Larissa before we started that I was moving across the country in a week and a half and she did everything necessary to make sure I would have all the work done before my departure date.

Even though I am moving to Missouri, I plan to return to Advanced Smile Dentistry in the future to have Dr. Larissa fix a couple of fillings that she found that needed work. You can't beat the price, or the care that you receive at Advanced Smile Dentistry! Thank you Dr. Larissa! You're an amazing dentist and I will recommend you and your office to friends and family in the future! read less

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

I highly recommend this place. Our dentist was very kind and professionnal. I will definitely come back.

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

Absolutely the best dentist experience of my life. Such nice and kind people and only have your best health issues... read more in mind. I loved Dr. Flores (Ceila). She is so kind and capable and soooo honest. I feel so fortunate that I trusted Yelp on my dental care. I could write a book on how wonderful my (and my wife)experience was but I did that on Facebook so won't on this platform. All I can advise you is if you are tired of paying outrageous prices in the US,and want great care,please contact this Advance Smiles. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Dr.Flores and the great HAPPY staff at Advanced Smiles. 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

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

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

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!

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
