    Found this Dental Clinic Dr Ignacio De La Vega from Yelp for having a #1 Rating. Had all 4 Wisdom molars removed at 46yrs old, 2 standard extraction and 2 lower had to be surgically removed from a Professional Dental Surgeon and her name was Dr Edith. (Amazing Work)Everything went perfect, with very little to no discomfort and I was up and running the next day like nothing ever happened. I highly recommend the Dental office of Dr Ignacio De La Vega and his staff. Everybody there is so kind and they treat you very well and they all show that LOVE what they do. Their office is close to Hotels and parking structures and pharmacies.( They speak English as well) Thank you Dr. De La Vega and my Surgeon Dr. Edith and also a personal thank you to Karina the Receptionist and all of the kind staff for your professional service. I found my Dentist office for life!

    We came here for a cleaning and my husband got his tooth capped. We were happy with the cleaning. The dentist was very nice. He wanted to sell us a bunch of more things but no. We just got the cleaning. My husband's tooth had broken and they repaired it, however, the next morning, it broke off. It's not easy to have to go back into Mexico and get this fixed. We will find a better dentist next time. 3 stars for cleaning Negative 2 stars for poor job with his tooth.

    Father and son dentists - Dr De La Vega - happy smiles all round and lots of new teeth!

    I can't recommend the De la Vega Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, highly enough! I had extensive dental work done here, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. The treatment I received would have cost me at least three times more in the U.S., but the quality of care was on par with, if not better than, what I've experienced at home. Before deciding to have the work done, I consulted with my dentists in Oregon, who confirmed that the treatment plan recommended by De la Vega Clinic was exactly what they would have suggested. After the work was completed, my dentists back home were thoroughly impressed, describing the dental work as exemplary. Knowing that my local professionals hold the work in such high regard only reinforces the exceptional standards at De la Vega Clinic. The clinic itself is easy to access, just a $3 taxi ride via Uber or Didi from the pedestrian border. The staff at the clinic are warm, friendly, and make you feel completely at ease throughout the process. From start to finish, I felt like I was in expert hands, and the level of care and professionalism exceeded all my expectations. If you're considering dental work and want high-quality care at a fraction of the cost, De la Vega Clinic is the place to go. I'm beyond grateful for the work they did and wouldn't hesitate to return for future treatments! Dr De La Vega +52 664685 1202 or US (619) 399-3538 Email: drfelipedelavega@gmail.com

    My teeth after Dr. de la Vega performed the cosmetic procedure.

    Dr. de la Vega finished all the work detailed in my 1st review 2 years ago, everything was wonderful... I recently returned with a broken tooth, and I was so embarrassed because I hadn't had a cleaning or check-up in so long, but needed to have the emergency taken care of. I thought he wouldn't remember me, but I was so wrong... He walked up to me anticipating my arrival, and gave me a very warm welcome: "Always with a smile!" I was so surprised... And of course I always smile when I walk into his office; it's the only dentist's office in the world I'm happy to be at, because everyone is so genuinely kind. As in the past, Dr. de la Vega took excellent care of me: He examined my teeth carefully while taking x-rays, and I was expecting my broken tooth to receive a root canal, however, after telling me he was expecting to do a crown instead, he consulted with his son for a 2nd opinion, and changed his mind... Instead, I only needed a filling! What a pleasant surprise. This saved me time, money and pain. I told Dr. de la Vega that the only thing we hadn't completed from my wish list, was straightening my teeth... I've had buck teeth my entire life. He came up with an idea: Shave the longer tooth down, and it will create an optical illusion, so the teeth no longer look too large. I've attached photos so you can see the outcome, and it took me so long to get used to the new look... I kept glancing in the mirror forgetting he had done this, and it would shock me over and over again to see myself! By doing this he saved me more pain, more money and more time, because now I won't be using Invisalign. The only bad news is that I have a molar with a cavity that has to be pulled, and it's going to take oral surgery because it's impacted, but he's only charging me $225! This would be at least $2,000 in the U.S. I overheard a couple at a restaurant talking about how the boyfriend is dissatisfied with his dentist and is going to find a new one... The girlfriend complained about another friend having to pay thousands of dollars to have her daughter's wisdom teeth removed. That's when I knew I had to interrupt, and tell them about Dr. de la Vega; the man believed me (I showed him my pictures) and promised me he's going to read these reviews. I've been telling everyone! And I already know from past experience, that when I do have the wisdom tooth removed, it will be as painless as possible. When everything was finished and I told Dr. de la Vega that he had saved me a lot of money, he said that's what he cares about, helping people to save their hard-earned money. I'm so grateful to Dr. de la Vega and his wonderful staff! Which reminds me... His son told me, "You're like family already!" I said I feel the same way :) And it was his son who performed all the dental work on this visit, after Dad performed the exam and told him to take very good care of me, VIP.

    Let's start with some useful information. You can park at the Soriana, which is a grocery store…read more You know you're at the correct place if you had to click a button to get a little parking ticket. On the way out you pay for parking with for the allotted time you were there. The grocery store and other little stores are on the first floor and a lot of clinics/dentist offices are on the second floor. Once you get to the second floor, there'll be someone at the main door asking you to check in and that really just states your name and how many people are with you and what office you're going to. There is a staircase, and there is an elevator to get to the second floor. The office is small but very clean but unfortunately in Mexico, what happens sometimes is that the running water stops working and you cannot use the restroom since there is no water to flush the toilet. The two girls at the front are really nice and are really inviting. Feel free to ask them any questions you have. Dr Yasmin introduced herself and she was very lovely and she is the person who did my cleaning and my teeth whitening. She was very lovely as well and she kept asking me if I was OK and was very attentive. So what happens first is that the doctor will check you out and make sure that the items you requested can actually happen that day and then someone comes and gives you a quote and if you would like to continue, you sign the quote and then the work is started. It was my very first time doing a teeth whitening, and while she was doing it, it did not hurt at all, but I did experience some teeth sensitivity around an hour later. The teeth whitening is four sessions of 15 minutes under some sort of lamp on your teeth. It is a small quaint clean office. I would definitely go back.

I was in between plans so I was fortunate to be able to travel to TJ and they value it in my tooth and it was so cracked that I couldn't just get it repaired instead they had to pull it and put it in implant.

I am going to go back in April to have the crown completed. I was there for several hours as they did a lot of work to evaluate my tooth then pull the cracked tooth and place the implant.

From the beginning, Dr. Manriquez and his team made that process feel much more manageable. At my first visit, they took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the treatment plan, and answer my questions clearly. I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Manriquez was professional, thorough, and attentive throughout the process, and his calm approach gave me confidence in the decisions being made. I also want to give special recognition to Angeles, Dr. Manriquez's assistant, and the office manager Citlali. Both were incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to detail. They consistently made sure I was comfortable, understood what was happening, and had my questions addressed. Their warmth and professionalism made a real difference during a process that can otherwise feel intimidating. What stood out most was the team's communication and willingness to take the time needed to get things right. They made me feel like a person rather than simply another appointment, and that level of care is not something to take for granted. The entire office was organized, welcoming, and responsive. By the end of the process, I felt genuinely comfortable with the care I was receiving and grateful that I had placed my trust in Dr. Manriquez, Angeles, Citlali, and the rest of the team. I would highly recommend Dr. Manriquez's practice to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality dental care, especially to those who may feel hesitant about receiving treatment while away from home.
