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

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.

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

Dr Julian overall did a great job with my implant. My regular dentist diagnosed that my #18 molar was fractured... read more and causing an infection. My insurance didn't cover the implant so I had to pay out of my own wallet. Dr Julian was able to remove the tooth, stop the infection and restore the bone loss. The extraction was the most painful. But after that each procedure was less painful. The clinic was very clean, equipment looked up to date and the doctors and staff are highly skilled. I like that he didn't try to rush the procedures but was genuinely interested that the bone heals well and that the implant was successful. Definitely would recommend them to family and friends. read less

EXCELLENT WORK!!!

I have had some serious dentist phobia and refused to go to the dentists in the USA simply... read more because i did not trust them from my past experience.

I decided to try this clinic. The communication and organization was fantastic and i decided to make my way to Tijuana.

I was treated by Dr. Larissa who went above and beyond to make sure that i was feeling comfortable and calm. She knew about my past experiences with dentists  and she did something other than completely fixing my mouth (root canals, crowns, fillings), she ERASED the fear of dentists.

As a person who would refuse to see a dentist, my mind is now changed.

I will only go to Advanced Smiles Dentistry since they have my trust!!!

I don't usually write reviews, but this is the least i can do as a "Thank  You" to Dr. Larissa and the staff!

P.S. The front desk girls are so nice, they ordered a taxi for me as needed and made sure that all of my questions were answered.

Dr. Larissa took all the time needed to make sure that all is to the top of quality. She did not rush and was super attentive.

She is very skilled and is a master of her knowledge and application!

Very thankful!

Thank you!!! read less

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

It is a week now since I had 7 upper teeth extracted and a denture put it. I am pleased... read more I did extensive research on Dentists in Tijuana as I feel that I hit the jackpot. Advanced Smiles, Dr. Julian, Dr. Cruz the surgeon, Dr. Cynthia, Sophie and all the staff are extremely friendly and efficient.

I had a flipper plate on my upper teeth but bit into something that cracked two top front teeth which necessitated action.

The clinic is split into two areas and the cleanliness and hygiene is unsurpassed. I had a free consultation, including X-Rays which I could see on a large monitor in front of me; and then Dr. Julian gave me a thorough explanation, in excellent  English, of options available to me with recommendations to me but leaving ALL the decisions for my treatment up to me. I knew the consequences of one treatment over another and decided to go for the surgery that would cause the least problems going ahead. At that first appointment a caste was made of my teeth and an appointment was made for the 31st October.

Dr. Cruz is an excellent and pleasant oral surgeon and very concerned about pain control and comfort. After being thoroughly numbed, with only a few pricks that I could feel in my upper pallet the surgery began and took less than one hour. The denture was ready to be put in by Dr. Julian and it fitted perfectly. Dr. Cruz came back twice to check if I was having any pain. Twice I was having twinges in my upper RH jaw and was given more Lidocaine.

He thoroughly went over what I could or couldn't do/eat for the next 7 days, plus prescriptions for antibiotics, pain pills, another medication for healing and a mouth rinse.

I only had to use the pain pills(2) as I felt the Lidocaine wear off, two when I went to bed and only ONE the next morning.

I have had no pain at all, felt a little weak and tired, which I was told to expect. I am now back on a regular meal schedule and getting used to the dentures. I have another appointment 13 November for a follow up.

I am thoroughly satisfied with Advanced Smiles and CANNOT RECOMMEND THEN MORE HIGHLY; the service, facility and equipment is equal to or  better than anything in Los Angeles; and the PRICES are at least a third less than in the US, with no scrimping. If you are looking for a Dentist this is the place to come to in Tijuana. read less

First off i want to congratulate everyone at Advanced Smiles Dentistry for their hard dedication with each of their patients.... read more   Since day one i have felt very comfortable and welcome within each appointment i've had, not to mention the little things like each staff member always greeting you with a BIG smile and NEVER forgetting your name, believe it or NOT details that small make any person feel overwhelmed.

I remember the first day i asked for information, i though they answered to all of my questions and concerns i had that moment, i cant LIE i did not know what to expect when i first got my braces In placed, i had so many questions about how to properly keep my teeth clean as a whistle so Dr. Cinthia did a marvelous job on explaining detail by detail everything i needed to know about the experience with having braces such as; advices on how to alíviate the pain when it would arise, breaking down the types of foods i had to stay away from to avoid any broken pieces.

These are some of the things i think makes this dentistry unique in all its form, they are very communicative on when your appointment will take place calling you or through Via-Email remaining you the time and date of your upcoming appointment, also making sure if you were going to be able to show up. So i highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place where they not just do a excellent job but also treat you with the most respect and courtesy.

Once again thank you very much for all your guys help, Cheers! read less

Highly recommended for those folks coming from the state's. The staff are excellent with a great hospitality. I would recommend... read more to come and give it a try. Dr. Stephanie De Anda was dentist in my visit. She eager to help you out and listening. 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

I live in San Diego.  I have bad teeth, and have spent thousands over the years on crowns, replacing some... read more multiple times. Now at the stage where some can only be replaced by implants.  I had one implant done by a 'discount' periodontist located in the Morena area, and while the implant itself seems OK, the total office experience, and the flakiness of the dentist, was not something I wished to experience again. I had investigated finding a implant dentist in TJ, but was too nervous about going there.

A year ago, I was experiencing significant pain in one tooth, no longer crownable, so had my SD dentist extract, and place bone graft.  He was not qualified to place an implant, but could do the rest of the work.  

I called several implant dentists in San Diego.  The best price I could find for an implant was around $2000.  The need for a CT scan was mentioned in one case, and the charge for that would have been $200+.  My San Diego dentist would have charged $450 for the abutment and $950 for the crown.  So looking at about $3500.

After thoroughly studying the Yelp reviews, decided to set up appointment with Advanced Smiles.

I recently completed the implant process with Dr. Julian. He placed the implant, abutment, and crown. Total cost was $720 for implant, $225 for abutment, and $405 for crown.  These prices reflect the 10% discount for cash.   Consultation, plus X-rays, and a CT scan were at no cost. (No charge for another CT scan after implant placement, either.)  Total cost $1350.  So a savings of $2200 over what I likely would have paid in SD.  Significant!  (Oddly, if I had had a bone graft done here it would have cost the same - $350 - as in SD.  The extraction might have been a couple hundred less.)  It took four visits, counting the initial consultation, to complete the process.  (I think it could have taken up to six, apparently the healing process went well enough to avoid that.)

Everyone that I dealt with at Advanced Smiles during this process, both doctor and staff, was friendly and kind.  Absolutely no language barrier.  The most invasive process, placing the implant, went quickly and smoothly.  Never any significant delays in getting into the chair, and getting the work done.

Getting to Tijuana is relatively easy for me.  I live about 35 miles north of the border, off 805.  I scheduled all my four visits at 11am-noon on a Tueday or Wednesday.  Never any significant traffic delays, usually 70mph all the way.  It costs $9 to park at the border lot, across from the Pedwest crossing.  Call from the parking lot to let them know you are coming, and arrange to have them call you back in about 20 minutes (if you can't call them) to send an Uber. (Have their two stateside phone numbers with you, as well as the Mexico phone number.  Sometimes, I could only reach them on the Mex number.) About 15-20 minutes to cross the street, process through the border crossing (remember your passport!) and exit to the area where a few taxis are waiting.  Taxis were $6-7, but better to have Advanced Smiles send an Uber, which is about $3.  (Remember to bring $1 bills! Or pesos.) Your phone might not be able to call out, but if not, they were able to call in to me.

No significant delays crossing back to the US, either, at Pedwest, at mid-day.

The only things that occur to me that might not compare as favorably with a stateside procedure -

1.  They cannot prescribe prescription painkillers, so you are stuck with something like ibuprofen to deal with the pain.  Not great.

2.  X-rays are done with a handheld device, and no radiation-blocking cover is placed over the patient during the X-rays.

In sum, I unreservedly recommend  Advanced Smiles. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
