    I am extremely pleased with my two days of dental services provided by Advanced Smiles Dentistry…read more I have paid far more for a far lower standard of dental care. After my dentist retired, we had a little global pandemic, and then things got busy and ... in 2026 I brought them a mouth some California dentists wouldn't touch without hundreds of dollars in X-ray and lab fees up front. Then wouldn't touch. ​ In two days of care, they replaced a complex crown, did four quadrants of deep cleaning, and filled an embarrassing number of cavities. I paid about two and a half Gs for what I was quoted elsewhere for between $6K and $10K. This is dental work under local anesthesia, so some pain from numbing is expected. They have a deal with a chain hotel in easy walking distance that has an included breakfast with soft foods and a UV water dispenser on every floor. From my initial contact on WhatsApp, to their offer to Uber me to the office, to patient intake and detailed assessment including head CTs (!), 3D modeling (!!!), photography of teeth and individual tooth x-rays, and the competence of the clinical team... I don't believe this level of dental care is available in Estados Unidos. If I have a friend who needs dental care, I will cheerfully refer them here. Note: WhatsApp and Uber are essential tools in Tijuana.​

My actual procedure went very well and Dr. Olin is amazing.*** I had my consultation appointment with Dr. Olin on November 3, 2025 after he was highly recommended by my orthodontist. My consultation included imaging and then 45 minutes of face to face time with Dr. Olin where he explained the plan in depth. I was told that everything would be sent for authorization. I called the office on Friday, November 21st to follow up as I had not received anything from my insurance. I was told by the front office that I needed to have the orthodontist place the palate expander prior to scheduling surgery. This was an error and they were going to check with the doctor and call me back. I never received a call. I followed up 2 weeks later and I checked-in with my orthodontist. I called again and spoke with Brandi, who was handling my auth and scheduling. She let me know the paperwork hadn't been signed. Okay, it's the end of the year, I get it. I told her my goal was to schedule and follow through with the procedure ASAP. I called again after Christmas and spoke with Brandi. No update. I expressed that this was frustrating and I understood that it was not her fault. She agreed that she would also be frustrated. To make a long story shorter, my orthodontic team needed to get involved as there was minimal information and communication from Brandi. If I did call, answers were short and it sounded as though she may be irritated. I finally received auth in late January. Scheduling was just as difficult. Finally get a date scheduled for 5/21 and moved to 4/16, amazing! Pre op is scheduled for 4/13. On 4/3, I called and spoke to Brandi to confirm and asked if we had further details, such as a time. No. The day of my pre-op, all goes to plan until I go to check out and schedule post op appointments. I was told I had a $1500 copay and that I should have been notified. I said I was not and that my copay according to my insurance plan was $0. I asked to see the documentation and the girl at the front desk didn't have it but was told that the insurance company said to collect this amount. I asked to speak to the office manager at this point and was told she was working from home that afternoon but she would call me. I paid the copay because I didn't want to risk losing my procedure date. I called my insurance company immediately after leaving and was told the copay was incorrect, that it was $0, and they had no documentation on their end stating I was to pay $1500. The rep called and spoke to Brandi while I was on hold and when he came back on the line, he said immediately asked if I knew a Brandi. I confirmed and he let me know he had to tell her she could not charge me the copay and that the comment "She should be thankful because she's getting a 60k surgery," was made. He let me know I she was going to void the charges. I called to confirm and Brandi picks up the phone and says,"I'm doing it now." No hello, nothing. I asked if the transaction fee would also be returned. "Yes," and she hung up on me. I followed up via email asking for the transaction receipt and proof of void, and let them know I was happy to pay any patient portion due and I would need to see documentation. I received the transaction receipt and no other response. Surgery came and went. All was well and when I came in for my post op, I asked to speak with the office manager prior to me leaving. I initially told she would call me but when I asked if she was available this afternoon and I would wait, I waited for a few minutes with my husband to speak with Christina. When we sat down with her, I asked if she was familiar with my case and what had happened. She started with "I understand your frustration is targeted on Brandi. ". She followed up with the fact that I had received my money back and it was an error. I let her know that I was really upset with the tone of the service I received and it was so negative that when I was asked by Dr. Olin to move my post op appointment, I didn't want to call incase I spoke with Brandi due to the poor interactions. When I mentioned what my insurance rep said to me, she said it couldn't have happened because she sits next to Brandi. Remember, she was out of the office that afternoon. Christina did not appear to hear my concerns and dismissively said she looked into it. When I seemed unsatisfied, she asked what I was looking for. I replied that I just wanted her to really hear me so that there could be improvements made. Again the answer was very dismissive to the point that I asked if I was even welcome back in the future. I may need another surgery and Dr. Olin is amazing. She said yes and seemed surprised. Long story short, I don't know if change will happen but I hope so.

Not a problem for the Dr. He just takes care of you, doesn't try to rob you, and is a genuinely good man. I went to my wife's dentist because a bridge had fallen off, we were going on vacation, and I didn't have the time to drive all the way to Dr Patton's (I live in North County). I still had it and just wanted it reattached. They said I needed a new mold, new bridge, and it was going to be $1600 bucks! Heck no. So I made the drive to Imperial Beach again, Dr Patton glued it back on, and said, "That'll be $16 dollars." Seriously! I like the guy. He has bailed me out of trouble so many times with my teeth. He may not be your cup of tea, but he gets the job done, doesn't cheat, and will not make you feel bad just for showing up at his office.

    Just for the record... everyone was friendly enough. Patton and the man who cleaned my teeth were…read morevery welcoming and friendly. The actual cleaning was terrible. He didn't wear a mask which was disgusting. He touched multiple things around the room while wearing the same gloves he put in my mouth. He used a "vibrating windshield wiper" to clean random teeth in an unorganized manner. I felt like half of my teeth weren't even touched. Then they forgot to floss but I was so frustrated and over it, I went home and just flossed myself. I will never go back.

I believe I was worked on specifically by Dr. Tuason which she is the sweetest person ever always making sure I am ok and comfortable and she is añvery good at communicating what is being done while leading her staff to giving the best service possible.

If you're a veteran & in search of a dental office to go to through community care, this by far has been the best one I've attended & listen when I say I have visited quite a few before getting to Dr.Tuason. I was greeted by Lady who was extremely professional and welcoming. Bianca & Byanca both assisted as well once I got to the back & they were both a pleasure as well as professional. Danica Tuason who is Dr.Tuason daughter gave me by the far the best teeth cleaning I've probably ever received from a dental office & I've had my share of teeth cleanings but hers was one you have to experience! Dr. Tuason was also professional & extremely communicative on treatment that would be needed outside of what the VA approved. Their office was quick in getting the request over to the VA as well which I appreciated and allowed me to schedule my next few appointments for the other items approved through the VA. All in all I am glad I was able to find a dental office that was not only professional but understood how the VA worked & that speaks volumes because not to many care providers have been able to do just that.
