So last weekend I broke a molar crown from old dental work at the gum line. I was quoted over…read more$1,000 for extraction requiring surgery to remove and they couldn't fix until October 24th. Well luckily I was working in South Texas this past week and no way I was going to wait a month to fix my tooth. After getting a referral from a co-worker from a local dealership in Harligen area, I called over and made an appointment. I sent over my x-rays from my local Austin dentist office. Upon arriving on Friday 9/25 at 3pm, I was greeted by an extremely professional dental staff and very clean dental office. The Dentist did x-rays, consulted me on the condition of my tooth and the growing infection below my tooth. After discussing my options, not only did they extract my tooth, cleaned my infection area, put in a bone graft and also put in two implants on the other side of my mouth all within 3.5 hours. Oh and the price was less than the cost of one implant (with insurance) in Austin, TX without insurance. Also the pharmacy next door had all the necessary prescriptions for less than $30. I will be back to install my crowns and put in one more implant when my jaw heals. Parked my car on the US side for $2, paid the $1.25 bridge fee to walk across and back, less than .5 miles from border, was at my vehicle by 7pm.

I had multiple crowns replaced by Dr. Perales a few years ago. Ever since she replaced the crowns,…read moreI have had problems with them. I have been to at least 4 dentists in the U.S. who have examined my teeth, taken X-rays and elaborate 3-D imaging and all of them made the same observation: most of the crowns that Dr. Perales placed were not properly placed and have gaps that are allowing food and bacteria to penetrate. I will need to have most, if not all, of the crowns replaced. It appears Dr. Perales did not take proper molds, or missed a step when placing the crowns, or the lab that she used did a bad job of manufacturing the crowns. Regardless, it was her responsibility to ensure the proper fit so that the crowns function properly and do not have micro gaps that allow food particles or bacteria to penetrate between or underneath causing possibly very dangerous consequences for my overall health. When I tried to point out some of these issues to her, she became defensive. Her staff was nice and she could be nice. And it's possible she does other dental work well or when only one or two crowns need replacing but in my case I wasted so much time and all of my savings only to now have to start over. I will say that the dental implant that she did has been okay so far. However, I will not return to her dental practice.

I do not recommend Luz Marely Garcia Alvarez. I obviously and regrettably chose the wrong dentist…read moreto perform emergency crown replacement. First I will say that I could have had the work done well and properly by my dentist in Philadelphia for approximately the same monetary expenditure. However, I was in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas when an upper molar crown and adjacent tooth encountered a bit of shell in le mie deliziose linguine e vongole (linguine & clams). To repair the damage inflicted by Luz Marely Garcia Alvarez, I will need to spend many thousands of $$. Beside her rather crude technique and careless approach, I'm sure her work suffered even more while chatting with staff when she obviously should have been directing her attention to the task at hand. This dentist destroyed my bite in October, 2019. She arbitrarily ground the ill-fitted new crowns and a perfectly good existing crown in an attempt to adjust the occlusion- where she also only used a tiny piece of occlusion paper to test, while ignoring my overall bite! I had no idea how bad such a deviation in my bite could be until I experienced it. It is now March 27, 2020. The results of having misaligned my bite have evolved to the point where I can now, due to severe pain and diminished range of motion of the opposing mandible, only just open my mouth wide enough to eat. Chewing is extremely painful. The pain radiates into my ear and mastoid where I also experience persistent pain and tenderness. I thought it was an ear problem. I saw an ENT doctor who identified the bite deviation immediately. The cost of restoring my bite is another issue. But as an avid raw fruit and veggie eater, I have had no other choice but to adjust my diet until I can get permanent relief. I do not recommend Luz Marely Garcia Alvarez.

Alpha Dental sends patients out to a specialized imaging clinic equipped with the latest technology…read moreCBCT equipment operated and maintained by a specialist. One very low radiation scan provides a computerized image that allows my dentist to 3D view any tooth from any angle. Each completed implant was digital X rayed in house to check alignment, however, this was done only once and the radiation level was so low that no one left the room. No lead apron was needed, and my dentist even held the film in place with his finger. Almost immediately, I viewed the image on screen with my dentist to verify the perfect alignment. The Houston dentists covered by my insurance use 1950's X ray equipment and hide in another room while they expose you to radiation levels that cause healthy teeth to erupt or go out of alignment. This method of predatory medicine provides them with more income that is certainly not earned by the quality of their work..

I have also been to the marquee dentists here in my area and can say with all certainty I would rate Dr. Valdez's skills and care superior to theirs. It has been two months since I saw Dr. Valdez last. I had first gone to the local U.S. dentist because a crown he had done years ago had broken. His eval indicated I needed #1 root canal, #1 extraction and #2 crowns for $4,600. This dentist spent less than one minute looking at both the x-rays and inside my mouth - no exaggeration. I went to Dr.Valdez and to make a long story short he fixed the broken crown, filed the chipped crown that was NOT broken (which was the one the US dentist wanted to pull) and now all is perfect. Including Dr Valdez's fees plus the travel costs to go to Mexico I spent less than $600. A $4,000 difference. Tell me that is not worth a trip to Mexico.
