Dental CT Baja California

I only had a retainer made. It is fine. They came and picked us up and took us back over the border which was really helpful. I will go back next time I need a dentist. This is the only out of five clinics that contacted me!

Dr. Vasquez, his assistant and Mario were very professional and personable. They did an excellent job on the work I had come for. Mario was very good at welcoming and translating when needed. I will recommend you guys to anyone I know needing dental work. I drove from Sacramento and will do it again when I do the implants. You guys are the best and the prices make it worth the trip. Thank you all so much!

I needed a dental implant for my right, top incisor. The crown I had, broke off the post after 20yrs. Estimates from two dentists in the Phoenix area near me were over $4,000 so I looked into dental treatment offered in Mexico, which I had heard was good quality and low prices, if you know who to choose. My older brother had used the Smile Center for dental care a year ago, and he strongly recommended them. In fact, he needed to return for final placement and crowns for my sister-in-law. Although I was somewhat sceptical, we planned our trip and emailed Dr Sigrid Lopez who explained the necessary treatment and she recommended the California Hotel to stay overnight. We drove across the border directly to the dental office, parked in front and met the staff. They are wonderful; so gracious, knowledgeable and friendly! The office is very clean and modern with state-of-the-art equipment and procedures. Our treatment was highly professional, as good as any dentist we’ve had in the USA, and almost totally pain-free. I only used a couple of ibuprofen, not even any of the pain medication they prescribed for me. When we returned across the border by car it was only a 15min wait in line and no problems even though my passport had expired. I highly recommend Smile Center and Dr Sigrid Lopez for their outstanding, professional dental practice. They truly care about giving you the best treatment and results!

2 Root canals and 2 crowns, regular teeth cleaning. Pros: Excellent online reviews to date. Very friendly and courteous staff from dentists to all staff. Clean environment with 1 resident Orthodontist, 1 Endodontist, and 1 Implantologist. Not sure if periodontal service available. I presume the anesthesiologist service is subcontracted on as needed basis, as is an operating theater? Competitive pricing within the mid-price points compared to other clinics. Cons: No same day crown available as they do not have their own crown production lab. Next day is the earliest availability which requires overnight stay. No dental hygienist and dental cleaning is performed by an orthodontist. The work was somewhat rushed and uncomfortable. Room for improvement or hire a hygienist specialist. The dental assistants seemed less experienced and less aware of the patient’s discomfort. Readily apologises but repeatedly creates discomfort. Have to be told to stop. I think more training and experience will provide a great overall quality of service. There is NO pressure applied to have additional and or unnecessary procedures done and no incessant offer to go for more expensive Zirconium crowns that many clinics do. The dentists seldom gets involved with these tactics. Often promoted/pushed by the sales or clinic manager. The price list is not published online nor displayed in clinic. There is 4% commission service charge when using credit card. Not sure on the checks. Cash can be problematic when cost exceeds US$9,999 without currency declaration over amount which may possibly put the patient on the US customs inspection list for all future visits. Aside from clinic’s manager and dentists, the staff’s English is limited. An opportunity for patient that are non or less fluent in Spanish to learn some basic Spanish technical terms.
