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

    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

    Before, During & After

    My 5-STAR Review! I am a 58 year old woman from Oregon. I decided to go to Tijuana to get my dental work done after I was quoted $25,000 - $50,000 to fix my teeth in the States. A process that could take over a year. I was missing six teeth, I could no longer chew most foods, my bite was off and I was miserable. I was told by several people to skip Tijuana and go to different parts of Mexico. "Tijuana is dangerous, etc." Well I am here to tell you differently. When I had made my decision to go to Tijuana I started to research dentists. I made several calls and left messages. I came across Dr. Ignacio De La Vega. There was something about their website that made me feel comfortable. I called and immediately spoke with someone who spoke English. My frequent questions were promptly answered via email and telephone, the prices were more than fair. It didn't take long for me to decide De La Vega was the dentist for me. That is an understatement. I explained specifically what I thought I needed and asked if they could do it within a weeks time. They told me they could so I booked the appointment and the trip. Dr. De La Vega and his son/parter Carlos, who did all my work, referred me to two hotels within walking distance of their office. I chose the closest one, the Hotel West Plaza. It is a very nice, affordable, clean, full service hotel, with a spa, gym and restaurant with room service. It perfectly suited my needs and it was only a block and a half from the hotel, on the same street. No taxi's needed. Not only was the procedure pain free, it only took four days. Monday, they did all the work, gave me temporaries, and sent me on my way until Thursday when my final teeth would be ready. My new teeth are perfect. They look and feel real. I am beyond words at this point. I feel like a totally new person and I owe it all to the whole team of professionals at Dr. De La Vegas office. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, gentle and they were fun to work with. My daughter met me there from Los Angeles and we had the best time in Tijuana. We shopped, we ate at fabulous restaurants, but mostly we walked around taking in the culture and our surroundings. You have to be safe wherever you go but I truly believe Tijuana gets a bad rap. I arrived by myself at night, crossed the border on foot and I left by myself and not once did I feel unsafe. The whole experience is one my daughter and I will never forget. Dr. De La Vega, Carlos and the crew gave me a whole new lease on life. For that I am forever thankful.

    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.

Didn't give us any direction on how to fix the issue and now we're $2500 into 2 sets of teeth that keep falling apart. I have sent dozens of friends and family here over the past 8 years and now regret ever giving them business. Terrible service, terrible care and don't take responsibility for their actions. Spend the money and go elsewhere. Or just get your teeth cleaned.

The office was ultramodern and clean. Everyone on the staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. It was super convenient and safe staying in the Quartz Hotel next door. It was well worth the trip! I have just a few nits that don't affect my five-star rating. 1. They could be a little more upfront about the time the procedures will take. I was told two hours on the first day and one hour on the second day. It was more like six hours on the first day, and five on the second. But I'd rather they do the job right than rush. 2. The office is a bit tight on space. It would be nice if they had more room. But rent probably doesn't come cheap in that new office building. 3. It's nice that they have TVs on the ceiling you can watch during procedures. They play house music, and the lyrics scroll on the screen. But they need to be more careful about the music choices. There was one song with lyrics about as filthy as you can imagine. I'm no prude, but I don't want to hear and see the f-word multiple times when I'm having dental work done.

Unfortunately, the actual filling work done by the dentist was very poor. Issues I experienced: 1. The filling chipped and fell off within the first week, in three separate pieces. 2. The contact point between the repaired molar and adjacent tooth was incorrect floss passes straight through with no resistance, creating a gap that was not there before. 3. There was excess filling material left on the outside of the tooth. 4. During bite adjustment, the dentist ground down not only the filling but my actual molar and the neighboring teeth, even though the bite was still off. At this point, the tooth is worse than when I came in. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the restorative work and would not feel comfortable having this dentist perform fillings again. I hope X Dentistry reviews this case and takes appropriate action or provides additional training, as I would not want another patient to go through a similar experience.
