I had such an amazing experience at Dr. Alvarez's office in Mexico--honestly better than any dental care I've received in California. I came in to get my wisdom teeth removed along with an overlay, and I was pretty nervous at first, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. I requested to be fully knocked out for the procedure, which I couldn't recommend more with someone who has anxiety going to the dentist. In total for a full exam, x ray, cleaning, wisdom teeth removal, and overlay, I paid $1500. Dr. Lopez is incredibly knowledgeable and truly impressive--he took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel confident and at ease. You can tell he's extremely skilled and genuinely cares about his patients. The procedures went smoothly, and the quality of work exceeded all my expectations. The clinic itself is clean, professional, and very well run. I was honestly blown away by how much better the overall experience was compared to dentists I've been to in California--not just in terms of cost, but especially the level of care and expertise. I would highly recommend Dr. Alvarez's office and Dr. Lopez to anyone considering dental work. I'll definitely be coming back! Also wanted to note: not sure what the bad reviews are about since my experience has been nothing but amazing. I've been now twice and neither time did they try to upsell me or charge me anything but what I was quoted. read more

Stupid ignorant dentist. No English no communication. I walked out. never go there. I went to "white Smile" which that Dr Omar was excruciating rough.Too much to tell. I am 78 year old senior. I have written to the 2 offices for elder abuse and over charging. I'm going Los Algadones where I should have gone in the first place. No more Tijuana for me. read more

我最近在 提华纳 Previa Dental Implant Center 由 Dr. Alvarez 完成了两颗种植牙，整体体验非常好。 出行前我对比了几家美国诊所，美国的报价大约 7300 美元两颗，还要拔牙后等 45 天才能植入。Previa 的方案清晰透明，客服 Bianca 通过邮件把流程、费用、材料都说明得很清楚。诊所使用 Nobel Biocare 原厂种植系统，Dr. Alvarez 手术前还把包装盒和追溯码拿给我看并让我拍照。 我的骨条件很好，所以不需要植骨或屏障膜。整个麻醉和手术过程几乎完全无痛，手术仅约一小时，无出血、无肿胀。第二天复诊安装了免费临时牙冠。 全部费用约 4000 美元，比美国节省了一半以上。 Dr. Alvarez 很专业、沉稳，拥有 35 年以上的种植经验。诊所收费透明、操作规范、沟通顺畅，完全按实际项目收费，没有隐形费用。 提华纳城市虽然有些老旧，但并不危险。我晚上步行回酒店也很安全。Uber 很方便，餐饮也出乎意料地好，尤其是 Los Arcos 海鲜餐厅，酒店对面还有一家 米其林推荐餐厅。 总体来说，Previa Dental 的技术、价格和诚信让我非常满意。 如果你考虑在墨西哥做种植牙，这家诊所值得信任。 read more

Dental Alvarez - 26-ago-2025 surgery completed, total 8 implants upper mouth, plus 6 implants lower arch & two bone grafts. - General Dentistry Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

Low quality care and they will scam you out of your money. A lot of upselling. There was a situation where a patient was bleeding in the waiting room and I had informed the front desk. The ladies at the front desk disappeared. Getting a hold of Dentist Alvarez is a nightmare after getting serviced. If you value your teeth and well being, there are plenty of other amazing dentists in the area. read more

Dental Alvarez was recommended to me by a friend who grew up in Tijuana. She has been coming here for 20 years. She's kind of... particular. If she recommends a place, it has to be top of the line and spotlessly clean. I have an American dentist, and low key they kind of suck. They have all the tech, the 3-d crown printers and scanners and everything, but they're expensive, impersonal, keep me waiting and the two crowns they did for me failed and needed to be redone after a year. So I looked to Mexico for dental treatment. Dental Alvarez has all the high tech equipment that you'd find in an elite dental office. Their standards meet or surpass anything you'd find in the US. And their staff is so kind and considerate. Everyone - the schedulers, the front desk girls, the hygienists, assistants, dentists, dental surgeons have gone above and beyond for me. Even the maintenance guy acted as my personal chauffeur. That's probably a perk they don't offer standard, but I fractured my ankle on an uneven sidewalk in another part of TJ, and the staff stepped up for me the whole time I was recovering. Also, I speak almost no Spanish, but everyone on staff speaks at least a little English, and many are completely fluent. Prices are about 1/2 of what you would pay in the US, and that is definitely the incentive for making an initial visit, but the quality and level of service will keep you coming back. read more

No hay seriedad en esa clinica, le dan vueltas a uno haciendolo perder tiempo y la persona indicada para dar informacion acerca de las aseguranzas americanas nunca tiene tiempo ni esta disponible, Quedan que le llamaran y eso nunca sucede. Les recomiendo que busquen otra clinica dental read more

Dr. Alejandro Sanchez and his wonderful assistant Luis Martinez fixed my broken crown and did a wonderful job! I highly recommend Dental Alvarez for all of your dental needs. My mom had extensive bridge work done by Drs. Alvarez and Valdemar and is thrilled with the work! The office and equipment is state-of-the-art and the staff is extremely kind and professional. read more

This happened few years back (2022). I live in CA. As many I crossed the border to get an emergency dentist & more affordable one. They had to do a root canal & put a crown on me. They put a zirconia one. Cost $800. As normal in Mexico you pay as they do the work. By the time you go to the last visit you have to have paid everything. Well when they finished the work I felt discomfort & they said it was normal. A week later the crown came out. I called the Alvarez Dental & they told me to go back so they could put it back. I did. It took me 4 hours to cross back to the US. Then days after it came out again then I went back again & they put it back. Then days after it came out again for the 3rd time. I never went back. I couldn't be crossing every other day to TJ with the 2+ hour minimum crossing traffic to come back. I just realized I was scammed. Also keep in mind that the discomfort never went away. I stayed without a crown all this time-almost 3 years. Fast forward 1/2025, I was able to do it here in the US. I explained to my dentist that knows me since the 1990s the whole situation and he told me that the only thing that he could think of is that Alvarez dental used a low quality cement. That there was no reason why a crown could have come off 3x in less than 2 weeks. So now I'm happy with the work that my dentist did. In summary, I used to trust Dental Alvarez cuz my family go there -or used to-but after that I experience I don't. I rather do it here in the US or at least try other dentists in TJ, which I'm sure that there are PLENTY of honest, great & qualified that don't cheat their patients. read more

amazing place. way better than dentist office in americs. they don't want to sell to you but actually give you treatment

We were recommended to this dentist by god friend that have been going here for years. After our American dentist told us that my husband and I would need over $12,000 of dental work, we looked into coming down from Northern California to Tijuana. The initial communication between Bianca at Dental Alvarez was fantastic and thorough. They gave an idea of what it would cost for the procedures the American dentist said we needed. We were very impressed with the office and the staff. We each got our own Dr that has stayed with us to complete each procedure needed. My husband had a couple teeth they needed puking and then implants, 4 crowns and more. I was told by the dentist in California that I needed a root canal and crown on my back molar that had cracked. Dr. Oracio said I only needed an inlay, which was $300. No root canal needed. The office has state of the art imaging and they have really taken good care of us. We felt heard by them and my doctor was super caring and gentle. I never felt any pain and he was very sensitive to notice and ask how I was doing at all times. Both of us really like our doctors. As far as coming down to Tijuana, the office is in a very safe area. We park on the American side and walk across. Since we live 8 hours away, we have found that staying at the Grand Hotel Tijuana works great, and it's a nice place. You can get great prices on booking.com for the hotel. The dentist office will pick you up at the border or the hotel and we just have the driver, Augustine, a tip. We will be back again to finish more dental work needed and we are very happy to have found Dental Alvarez. read more

Consider another of the many dentists in Tijuana. If you can find a reliable and friendly U.S. dentist and the only factor is cost, consider that it is not just about better service, and quality, it's about convenience and your peace of mind. You may want a dentist that is "cheap" considering U.S. dentists charge up to $1000 for a crown but there are other factors involved when considering the true cost of dental work. Dental Alvarez has one or two nice people who try to offer exceptional service but overall it's a budget business designed to attract unwitting U.S. clients through relatively low prices. Call around TJ and you will find that most dentists speak fluent English, have a majority U.S. clients, and take insurance. With Dental Alvarez, be aware: The person you contact prior to your appointment may not be the one you interact with when you arrive. We were told they take insurance but when it came time to pay we were told we don't take that insurance anymore. The lady who quoted us prices over the phone was friendly, but the receptionist who primarily deals with billing and the "shuttle" service once you are there is unhelpful, rude and cold. The "shuttle" service is unreliable. Be prepared to take an Uber if you are walking across the border. The "shuttle" is a small personal vehicle that fits a driver, a front seat passenger, and a tight fit for two in the back. They over book the driver and the front desk team suffers from very poor communication. I attempted to use the service six times (three trips back and forth) and have been told, the driver has gone home for the day, or the driver is running personal errands and I had to order an Uber. In one instance he did not show for 40 minutes and the receptionist lied about it over the phone claiming he was at the border to pick me up. When I spoke with another staff member, he said the driver was at the office dropping off other passengers. The receptionist also lied and said the driver could not use his phone while driving and then proceeded to call him while he was driving. Also, you may be asked to share a ride or drive in circles for a while looking for another client. Add $50 to any quote for exam and x-rays. You will be up sold. They will create a treatment plan and tell you that since you traveled all that way you might as well get another service. It makes sense. We went in to save $500 on a $1000 crown and wound up paying over $1000 for two crowns, and an inlay. One way or another the money is getting spent. Plan for it. They overbook and appointment times are estimated. You should not arrive late. But the dentist can be late in seeing you. Waiting is the norm. In one instance I waited an hour for my appointment. The two year guarantee is another way of saying no refunds, no price adjustments, no matter what. Even if the work is terrible. And as nice as my dentist was, the work was shoddy. My temp crown fell off after two days. My permanent inlay fell out after three days. I had to return twice and he tried to charge me extra for work done "under warranty." Walking across San Ysidro back to the U.S. will take at least 60 minutes. Driving even longer. Download BWT app for wait times. Otay will be shorter but this dentist doesn't offer pickup or drop off there. Shot out to the one young man at the front who wanted to help, clearing seeing how terrible service was. Unfortunately, the older woman at the front was more concerned about charging $5 for an Uber ride than making things right with a returning customer. Bottom line: there are many great dentists in TJ. This is not one of them. read more

Any questions that I have ever asked, Bianca has taken the time to explain to me in detail and with great patience and I always know ahead what charges I'll be looking at.

If you need a dentist in Tijuana and go to Dental Alvarez, you will never have the need to look for another dentist again! read more

I have seen three dentists at Dental Alvarez over a period of several months early in 2021 for extensive work including root canals, implants, fillings and crowns. I am 68 years old and I can honestly say they are the best dentists I have ever seen during my lifetime. It is one of the rare occasions in life where superior quality comes with lower cost! They are much better dentists than any I have seen in my hometown. They are a group of young, passionate, highly skilled dentists that work as a team - unlike the typical solo dentists I have experienced in the U.S. And their staff is extremely supportive, helping set up visits and very responsive to follow up questions. And their English is excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking excellent affordable dental care! I am looking forward to returning to complete the work read more

Dr. Alvarez is the worst Dentist, I ever have. The dental work that he performed on me, let me suffering with a jaw pain.To fix the problem with my jaw (fixing the horrible dental work that he did) cost me double plus the pain I was going trough. He did not take responsibilities and blame it on me. He did not offer to give me my money back, over a 4,000.00 dollars. this happened, just before the Coronavirus. If you want crooked teeth and painful jaw, visit Dental Alvarez. read more

Had a great experience. Went in to have 3rd molars extracted. Had them both out in about 10 minutes! felt very comfortable there. They have underground parking, so you don't have to leave your car on the street. The price was great (compared to U.S. costs). They were very professional. I'll be back soon for the other side! read more

GREAT DENTAL OFFICE! I live in Palm Springs but drive to Dental Alvarez in TJ for all major work. Not only great pricing but state of the art equipment (more modern technology than my U.S. dentist). I needed two molar implants, and in the U.S. it was $6,800 PER TOOTH, and my "insurance" only covered $2,000 per tooth, so I would have still paid $9,600 out of pocket. A friend had gone to Dental Alvarez a few years ago and raved about them, so I traveled down to see them--$1,800 PER IMPLANT! And again, more advanced equipment than in the U.S. Even though it took 3 visits for my implants still sooo worth it. And the doctors and staff are all great. They are less than 2 miles from the border crossing, and they have car service so you can just walk across and they'll pick you up, and then return you after your visit. (And parking right at the border is $10 for the day.) Implants, root canals, crowns--whatever you need that you'd have to mortgage your house for in the U.S., call DENTAL ALVAREZ! (And fyi, yes I have read the few one star reviews they have, I have been to DA multiple times and have never experienced anything like this people complain about...) read more

0 Start They are liars and do not comply with company policies. If you want to lose all your teeth then come here. Beautiful place, but is a scam , they will keep your money and destroy your mouth. Then you will have to find some good quality dentist to fix it. Lost your money here and remember me It is a lie, they have no guarantee. read more

When you call they sound so promising. They offer shuttle which is Toyota Yaris . They put 6 ppl in that small car and wait is 1 hour appx. First day I came in office ,wait to see dr was 45 min. They Said i need 1 Crown. Bill was $500 . They Said come back in a week. Night before appointment date they called me said crown is not ready have to reschedule . Ok I get babysitter again . Went there for crown wait hour in waiting room they say go out for lunch come back In two hours. Came back crown was there . Wait another hours. They put crown , wrong color. They say you have to come again . They gave partial refund . For all people from US don't come here . They gonna promise everything and do nothing . If you live here and have plenty of time to waste maybe try them . At end front desk lady , worked 18 years in USA , told me that this is Mexico it is what it is . She was right. read more

NOO recomiendo!!!! Mi mamá se realizó un trabajo con ellos en el 2018, de $8000 dólares. En el 2019 se le cayó su corona, solamente se la pegaron pa atrás. Nuevamente en el 2020 la misma corona estaba floja, maneje dos horas para que el dr le dejara que estaba bien no iba pasar nada, literal al día siguiente se le cayó antes de salir de viaje. ( mi hermana se lo tuvo que pegar de emergencia en el dentista que ella trabaja para niños) a lo cual ellos dicen que les hubiera llamado para hacer cita o que fuera a un dentista cuando llegara al su destino! Como iba ir a un dentista en otro estado?? Al cual ellos dicen que perdió la garantía de dos años cuando yo la llevé en el 2020 para que le arreglaran el diente y el día siguiente se le cayó. Hace unos días se le cayó otro diente de un puente que ellos mismos realizaron y dejaron ese diente chico. Un trabajo habla por si mismo y claro que este no supera sus expectativas y precios tan elevados!! El día de ayer fui a llevarla para que solo le dijeran que tiene que pagar casi $5000 dólares para arreglar lo que ellos mismos hicieron mal desde un principio!! Un trabajo bien hecho duraría al menos 6 años (coronas, puente) que obviamente no lo hicieron y que al año se le estaban cayendo! Si hubiera conocido o visto críticas reales sobre este lugar, huberia hecho el trabajo aquí en CA. I DONT recommend !!!! My mom did a job with them in 2018 for $ 8,000. In 2019 her crown fell, they only stuck it back in. Again in 2020 the same crown was loose, I drove two hours for the dr to let her know that it was fine, nothing was going to happen, literally the next day it fell again right before leaving on a trip. (my sister had to glue it back at the dentist that she works for children) to which they say she would have called them to make an appointment or to go to a dentist when she arrived at her destination! How was she going to go to a dentist in another state? Which they now they say lost the two-year warranty when I took her in 2020 to have her tooth fixed and the next day fall. A few days ago another tooth fell from a bridge that they made and left that tooth small. A job speaks for itself and of course it does not exceed your expectations and high prices !! Yesterday I took her, only for them to tell her that she has to pay almost $ 5000 dollars to fix what they made wrong from the beginning !!! A well done job would at least last 6years ( crowns, bridge) which obviously it didn't within a year they were falling!! If I would've known or seen real reviews about this place I would've just done the work here in CA and pay those extra dollars.. read more

I came here because of the excellent reviews on Yelp. I was visiting San Diego and decided why not? I crossed and made my way across to Dental Alvarez. The office is very clean and the staff I encountered was very friendly and professional. On my first visit I had x rays and a deep cleaning by Dr. Ledesma. I was very happy with the amount of time and the cleaning that Dr. Ledesma took with me. He explained what I needed to do to keep my teeth at optimal health. Dr. Ledesma is friendly, professional and very good at his job. I also want to thank Sandra at the front desk for always being amazing. read more

Loved this place. Clean, great doctors ( the doctors do the cleaning, not the assistant ), underground parking, affordable prices. Also husband, who does not like going to the Dentist, found this place to me more than acceptable. We are both VERY picky when it comes to our dental work, and we will be going back to Dental Alvarez. OH- do not rely on your google maps to get you there. Print out website directions. :) read more

I always have a great experience here. It's probably my 3rd visit and it's my husbands 4th visit. I usually come from San Diego to have cleaning and work done. First they are very nice and professionals. Second it's the clinic it's very clean and organized. Highly recommend specifically because their pricing/quotes are affordable and reasonable. Also most of them speak English which is very helpful. Plus, they have a great 3D X-ray machine and very competent dentists. Don't waste your time - just go over there to spend the day, eat some good food and don't drive. Use the pedestrian crosswalk. Will save you some few hours in line. read more

I came because Yelp reviews, and location. I had toothache, and came in on a Saturday. All staff was very friendly, and very professional. Dr Ramón (I forgot his last name) make this visit very comfortable, even the anestesia, and all painful treatment. He was very attentive, and his service was exceptional! He work with my teeth fast, and very professional. Inside is very clean, and all staff made me feel comfortable. Prices are really affordable, and upon request they provide fast line pass to cross border. Highly recommended! read more

I came to this dentist for a general clean, I asked if I was able to get retainers and my dentist said yes for $100. I was excited to get permanent retainers for my bottom teeth due to being tired of wearing invisalign every night. Little did I know I was being scammed. I should of known when my dentist finished putting my retainer on and finished saying "you still have to wear your retainers". I should of known because 1. He didn't even measure my retainer to see if it would fit around my teeth with his wire and glue he put on my teeth. So now I have crooked bottom teeth because this dentist did not do his job. I would recommend Trust dental, you can actually trust that they do a good job. read more

Since my last review I have returned multiple times for my own follow up dental work - but also brought both my daughters to have all wisdom teeth removed. Again, the care was outstanding - and in one daughter's case, her work insurance covered all costs. For the other who does not have dental insurance she paid less than a quarter the best cost quoted in LA - so well worth the trip. Finally, I want to give a special mention to Dr. Eric Romo - endodontist. I was referred to him in case I needed a root canal but he cleared me and I did inlays instead. Both he and Dr Polanco are a credit to this clinic. Thank you! read more

Came here to help my girlfriend get the care needed to fix a root canal, a few cavities, and remove a wisdom tooth. They did deep cleaning and a few other things for a lot less than what it would've cost in America. This clinic was very friendly, clean, and helpful. I recommend looking into care here and sending them an email with questions. Before we made the trip we communicated for almost 2 months and they were prompt to respond every time. I really felt safe coming here and am really happy we made the choice to come to Mexico for dental work. Thank you so much! read more

A couple of weeks ago I went with my mom to Alvarez dental to get her two root canals and crowns taken care of. She flew from Sacramento to LA where we drove to San Diego, parked in long term parking and crossed the border by foot. It was our first time doing this. It was a whole journey to get to the dentist but it was all worth it. She had made an appointment the day prior to going there and Bianca (The Patient Coordinator) was helpful in giving her all the information she needed before embarking on the trip. The prices for dental work in the US are absurdly high and so we found a great option in Dental Alvarez, not just because of their more reasonable pricing but they have a lab where they can make crowns in house. Although the prices are low, the quality of work that was performed was top notch. The way they treated my mother was wonderful especially since she came from so far away and was obviously nervous about what to expect. Doctor Sanchez and Doctor Estrada made her experience a pleasant one. Although root canals are not fun, she was very happy and at ease under their care. They even assisted us with our hotel accommodation and getting us an Uber to take us back to the border. Their staff was very nice and mindful of keeping everyone safe while we are still in pandemic mode. Their three story building has everything you would ever need for all your dental needs. They have state of the art equipment and specialists on staff that do it all. I also met my namesake Mr. Alvarez and he seems like a very nice person. The office was very clean and had a good peaceful environment in the waiting area. The two root canals were performed the same day on my mom and the following day they put the two crowns on. During a little less than 48 hours in Tijuana in the care of Dental Alvarez, we can say that we now have a great dentist to come back to and recommend for anyone that has any need for quality and reasonably priced dental work. Nuestra experiencia en las oficinas del dentista Alvarez fueron bastante positivas. Mi madre viajo desde Sacramento Ca, para que le arreglaran dos muelas que necesitaban endodoncia y coronas. Tuvimos la suerte de encontrar a Dental Alvarez ya que tienen laboratorios en las mismas oficinas y pueden fabricar las coronas ahi mismo. El costo de este trabajo en Estados Unidos era mucho mas caro, asi es de que tomamos la decision de venir a ver al Dr. Alvarez aunque fuera una larga jornada. Fue una grata sorpresa al ver que buen trabajo le hicieron a mi mama y al igual ver que bonito trato tubieron con nosotros durante nuestra estancia en Tijuana. Muchas gracias de nuevo a todos, en especial al Doctor Sanchez y al Doctor Carlos Estrada por ayudar a mi mama. El muchacho que trabaja en la recepcion, hasta al Uber nos llamo para llevarnos de regreso a la frontera. Les agradesco mucho y definitivamente los recomendaria a cualquier persona que necesite buen trabajo dental. read more

I was referred to this dental office by a family member and decided to bring my mom for a tooth issue she was having for a few weeks. My mom was the one who made the phone call and explained her situation and was told she needed to come in for an evaluation with the specialist "Dr Alvarez". So the day finally came and after a 3hr drive we arrived at the office and to our surprise Dr Alvarez was not available to see her (strike#1), mind you, we were told Dr Alvarez would be the one to give his opinion as to what needed to be done. Anywho, they told mom they would do the x-rays and deep cleaning and on her next visit dr Alvarez would see the x-rays and examine her. So we scheduled the second visit to return in three weeks. As we arrived we were told Dr Alvarez was not available (strike#2). My mom was told that another specialist would be examining her and would give his opinion on what needed to be done. During this time, my mom was told she needed three (3) fillings and was recommend she get this done, so she agreed and so they began to work on her. When it was time to pay, my mom was charged for nine (9) fillings. When she questioned the charges, the receptionist tolo d that the dr wrote down nine fillings not three, this receptionist had to idea what was done only what was submitted to him by the dr. My mom was completely numbed from ears, cheek, tongue and lips from the anesthesia and just wanted to home so she paid for the the 9 fillings and not the 3 she was told since the dr was no longer in the office. The third visit was scheduled for a Monday morning and on the Saturday prior my mom called to confirmed the appointment and asked if the specialist would be there to take care of the issue she was having on her tooth. The receptionist told mom not to worry that everything was already set for Monday morning. So the day came and we arrived to the office and again to our surprise the specialist dr Alvarez was not available (strike#3) at this point i lost it and i told them off, i couldn't believe this was happening to my mom knowing that we were making the drive from L.A. At first sight this office appeared to be a well organized dental office but they are far from that, the lack of attention, lack of communication between them is by far the worse ive seen in T.J. this office is not worth the drive and money you pay. There are so many other offices that operate much better with way less personnel at a lower cost. I hope this office begins to change these horrible practices or else they will be going out if business soon. If i could give zero stars i would. STAY AWAY!!! the time after our first visit my mom felt very pleased and decided to stay and get the treatment she needed eventhough it would require us to make several trips from L.A to T.J. Things began to look bad on our second visit when mom was told she woul read more

The reason we all go to get dental work done in Tijuana is the low cost and good service. Driving there is inconvenient and takes a lot of time, but it's worth the money we pay provide they work on the correct tooth. I went with a complain that I was getting food stuck between two teeth on the upper left side. The dentist checked my teeth, took x ray, got an impression for a crown. I left there with a temporary. A few weeks later I was back to have the permanent crown placed. I left the clinic and went back to San Diego. As soon as I ate the food got stuck on my teeth as if absolutely nothing was done, I was confused because I saw the dentist doing his work. I went all way back to Tijuana and after some back and forth examination among dentists they found out that the dentist had worked on the wrong tooth. Can you believe it???

We had an amazing experience at Dental Alvarez, Dr Cardenas was amazing with my 9 year old who needed a root canal. She was super nervous and crying because we had a bad experience at the super dentist. He won her trust in a couple of minutes. Explained every single step to her and was super patient. I would totally recommend this office for treatment. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. read more
