My experience at Doctor Alex's TJ Endodontics clinic has been one of the most pleasant and beneficial for my health because of the work that he and his staff have done resolving the poor condition of my dental problems. As a kid, I swore I would never choose to have dental dentures because I thought that they had limited adherence in the mouth and the troublesome ways to keep the dentures in place would be troublesome. So, I always took good care of my teeth thinking I was in control of their overall health. Well, I developed a medical syndrome several years back where my teeth would decay regardless of how well I took care of them. I struggled to keep my teeth over the past twenty years resulting in spending a full retirement nest egg on my undiagnosed tooth decay propagation only to continue to lose my teeth after numerous solutions offered by the various dentists, I sought treatment from. After replacing decayed teeth with crowned teeth and subsequent root canals that turned into implants, I found myself with a mouth completely covered in an out-of-control infection (lasting over four weeks straight) in numerous teeth and a pain level that I could no longer tolerate. I fortuitously heard of Doctor Alex at that moment and made my first appointment with him. I went to Doctor Alex as a reference from a friend, and I celebrate every day that I did. He did several things different from the other dentists who had counseled me on the cause and recommended a treatment plan of my tooth decay. Of note, he made better sense than any other dentist did before! He recommended a course of treatment and answered all my questions. This was something unique in all my searching and interviewing doctors about the condition of my mouth. Treatment started immediately and is continuing successfully. So, if you have money concerns getting your teeth fixed or cosmetic concerns getting your teeth fixed and even if you have health concerns getting your teeth, see Doctor Alex; he cares, he's competent, and most of all, he will get the problem resolved to your satisfaction and your good health. Finally, the TJ Endodontic clinic is a short drive from the border. You will be parked and walking to the clinic withing five minutes of crossing the border. Cheers! Ken E H read more

Amazing dental clinic, friendly and courteous staff, efficient doctors, excellent root canal work (the best i have ever had in my entire life in three different countries - USA being one of them), affordable prices and great materials. I started my extended dental work on March 9th, tomorrow i have the last appointment - the 6th one. I had 3 extractions, 5 molar root canals, 4 resin fillings, 5 molar zirconia/porcelain crowns. One of the root canals was in fact a retreatment of previous root canal therapy as it was poorly done, one root was not sealed hence a big infection had settled in -and Doctor Alex Alvarez discovered one more root while working on it under a microscope - he is a specialist in microscopic Endodontics. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude and admiration for this young doctor, for the quality of his work, for his work ethics and for his ability to read his patients and make them feel comfortable on the spot. He performed all 5 root canals flawlessly and they were all painless for me which was unbelievable - it was the first time in my life that i didn't suffer at all; more than that, i felt no pain or discomfort after the anesthetic wore off and i could eat on those molars. Another amazing doctor is Monica Gutierrez who did all my fillings, reconstructed my molars, took molds and imprints and put the 5 zirconia/porcelain crowns in my mouth. She is very passionate about her work, she has a very "light dentist hand", she is efficient and has a very sweet and warm nature. The bottom line is THIS DENTAL CLINIC'S PERFORMANCE IS EXCELLENT. I will return here for my biannual cleaning even if i have to drive from LA - it is all worth it. Many thanks to Dr. Alex and Dr. Monica and to all staff members - they are all doing a great job! read more

I needed an emergency root canal and my old dentist couldn't see me. I'm so grateful I found Dr. Alex, he's far superior to my old TJ dentist, fixed my tooth with a quick root canal and filling and gave me a treatment plan that was full of options in case I couldn't afford an implant. (His prices are awesome, I'm just broke from Covid I'll have to choose the cheapest options). He found so much decay I was frankly floored my dentist missed it all since I had seen him in April! I was shown my x-rays and pointed out all the problems. It sucked but I'm so glad I did get the whole mouth looked at, I just about lost 5 teeth if I'd waited and maybe my old dentist found it? Maybe not? Golly, what a gamble. Anyway Dr. Alex is my new go-to guy for all dental work. He's very kind, attentive, thorough, and made sure I found the office ok and found parking. It's literally the last block before you get back in line to cross back into San Diego. Cant beat it. The office is clean, modern and they let you play your music choice, even 80's Rock. Very cool. Dr Alex loves superhero surgical caps but I'll go ahead and say he's a real life superhero, fixing people's most important feature. Such a pro. You won't find a better Endodontist in TJ. If you're reading all these 5 star reviews and wondering if they're real, here and on Google, wondering if you should bite the bullet and hope it all goes well, I'm telling you I thought this way, and I was relieved f any doubt after my visit. I can see why the reviews are so good. Just go. Stop messing around on Yelp and call these guys. You wont regret it. read more

If you need a root canal or any dental work, Dr. Alvarez is the dentist you need to see. Every time I've been seen by Dr. Alvarez he has done a terrific job explaining the procedures and making sure I dont leave his office without any questions or concerns and if you happen to have a question while his office is closed you could always txt Dr. Alvarez. That's how much he cares about his patients. At first I was very skeptical about going to Tijuana for a root canal again since my past experience with Dra. Dalia Dental Care in Tijuana resulted in a incomplete root canal with a crown over it and money lost since it has to be retreated. Regardless of my bad experience with dental work in Tijuana, I decided to go ahead and give TJ Endodontics a chance due to the great reviews I read. Im glad I did because they did not let me down. I was naive to not know how a completed root canal should look like in a Xray until Dr. Alvarez explained to me everything. He is a professional & very good at what he does. Best thing is he manages to work with your schedule. Furthermore, his office team is very helpful and friendly. The facility itself is clean and new feeling, it has a good energy vibe especially with the good taste of music. Consequently I recommended him to my sister. She also had her fillings done and wisdom tooth pulled out. Thank you for all your work Dr. Alvarez and staff, it is always highly appreciated. read more

Excellent services! Highly recommended. I had a molar that needed a root canal and waited over a month to have it done. The Friday evening of Labor Day weekend, the pain was too much. I called TJ Endodontics and they got me in the next day. The tooth had cracked and could not be saved. They arranged an oral surgeon to do the extraction. It was painless. Everyone speaks near-perfect English. I was late to my appt due to lots of Labor Day traffic to the border. They were so nice and accommodating. It's an easy cab ride from the border to the office. I just showed the cabbie the address at the cab stand. Staff was lovely. Dr. Alvarez was so good. All instructions written in English on the prescription. There are two farmacias right outside the office. All medications got through customs with no problem. The office staff will call to check on you. You can pay in US dollars. No hassles at all. Quality care, knowledgeable doctors and high end equipment at a fraction of the US price. For anyone worried about physical safety, I will just add that Tijuana has come a long way in a short time. I have never had a problem there, especially nowadays for medical tourism. The fear-mongering in the news media is not reality. read more

I super recommend TJ ENDODONTIC, and I want to share why. Around 20 months ago, I went to a "1st place" just to replace 2 old resins, a couple of days after a terrible pain appeared in my head because those 2 tooth, even fever and threw up. I went to a "2nd place" to work on endodontics procedures, the pain disappeared a couple of days but it appeared again mostly with the stress; I contacted the "2nd place" dentist, and they asked me for a 3D scan of my head to check these 2 tooth deeply, announcing everything was perfect and this was a ghost pain and it would disappear little by little... so, I resisted the pain week over week until 19 months after (October 2022) I heard about this 3rd place (TJ ENDODONTICS) and I scheduled my appointment with them one of those days with a terrible pain in my head and Alexandro did find lived nerves on those tooth causing me the "ghost pain" using the same 3D scan the 2nd dentist asked me before... Alexandro and his team worked so hard to help me and they successfully sent me home with a smile on my face :D Sooo, I'm grateful, happy and painless, thanks to them and their professionalism. Thanks thanks thanks Tj Endodontics!!! read more

Dr Alex & the entire staff are the best!!! I needed 2 root canal re-treatments, and oh boy! I was not looking forward to this at all. I'm in OC - CA, and consulted with an OC endodontist, and before I for the procedures done, that I was looking for some cost savings and perhaps a second opinion. I found Dr Alex through online searches, called them up and scheduled the initial consultation. The day of the initial consultation, I was impressed right from get go. Dr Alex was well prepared, had a more modern system of X-rays then some dentist on the U.S side. Although I speak a mix of English & Spanish, Dr Alex speaks English as well as his staff. The best part while getting my teeth fixed up, is the music! Dr Alex asked what's my music choice - & we bumped some raggaeton, jbalvin.... which was awesome! In addition to the root canal retreatments, I had my teeth cleaned, and a couple of cavities taken care. He is my go to for all my dental needs!!! I feel a great relief to have had my root canals re-treated with Dr Alex. You will be in great hands! read more

First of all, I want to thank Dr. Alex and Dr. Monica for taking such good care of me. They were both very patient and gentle with me. My first visit was with Dr. Alex, for about a year I had pain and discomfort on my back upper two molars. Prior to deciding on driving to Tj, I had a root canal done about 10 years ago on one of the molars and a year ago on the other molar. My regular dentist was unable to find the cause of pain and discomfort. I started looking for a new dentist but they were all over my budget. I got quoted almost 9k for two retreatments and two crowns. I did my researched and I found Tj Endodontics. I'm not going to lie at first, I was a little skeptical but I am so glad that I decided to still book my appointment with them. Overall, all their staff are awesome, again Dr. Alex and Dr. Monica took such good care of me. Their prices are reasonable and I no longer have pain or discomfort. Driving from Orange County, CA to Tj Endodontics was worth the drive! read more

It was an excellent experience the one that I had with Dr Alex and his team. I had to get a couple of extractions done and I was really afraid and nervous about it. The last time that I went by the same procedure it all went wrong, it was a really traumatizing and painful experience to me, so I was afraid that this time would be the same. Knowing Dr Alex and his team, I decided that he was the best option for me, so I made my appointment. When the day came by, I was afraid until I saw Dr Alex, he looked so confident and calm that I got in the same vibe, and to my surprise I didn't even felt when he started working, always letting me know what the next step was and above everything, being really gentle and conservative with his movements. That treatment was done 4 days ago, and I haven't felt any soreness or anything like that. It was a really tough moment to me, so, if you feel in the same place that I was, I would really like to recommend you TJ Endodontics. read more

I couldn't afford the two additional root canals in California after already paying for one. Unfortunately, my teeth were in shock from trying to remove 12+ year silver fillings and each tooth needed a root canal. Dr. Alvarez and his team saved me from a world of pain and a high credit card bill. His team picked me and my wife up at the border crossing and began his work as soon as we made it into the office. I had two root canals on a Wednesday and that Saturday had my crowns placed. All for a third of the price I would have needed to pay in the US ($1400). The office is clean, the staff is considerate and caring. Just all around a good experience that felt like we made genuine friends in the process. I haven't stopped telling everyone about my experience and the amazing care we received. read more

10/10 recommend! I'm from Sacramento Ca I needed crowns and I still had a root canal that was hurting. My insurance wasn't covering them and taking a long time to even get a response from them. I was skeptic about coming to tj to get work done but decided to come here based on the reviews. So far I have not been disappointed! The staff and doctors are caring and make sure you are comfortable. Based off my experience I would say they are much more attentive to you than doctors in the U.S. answering all your questions and fulfilling your dental needs. I had full X-rays/ pictures taken of all my teeth to develop a treatment plan. In my opinion, the price is affordable and definitely worth it. I will be making more trips down here. I'll be recommending my family as well. read more

I picked TJ Endodontics based on reviews; after it turned out that my Seattle Endodontics referrals would not accept my insurance. What a positive experience. As my dentist had thought, two teeth were affected and so I had two root canals. This was straightforward and painless, with no discomfort either during or after. I came back a couple of days later to get the crowns on those teeth and the lab had missed the mark on one crown. They were able to turn this around in about 2 hours to match. They also did an excellent cleaning. I was really impressed by the engaged communication between me and the staff. This is a happy environment with upbeat background music and staff that sings along... Better than any US based dentist I have seen. read more

Muchas gracias por toda la atención, los recomiendo muchisimo( sobre todo si son muy nerviosos como yo) read more

My experience has been outstanding. A crown and an implant were done. I am well pleased with his expertise. I have a wonderful smile. I was having a lot of pain on the upper left area, we discovered a big infection on a previous root canal. They missed a canal. We had a CBCT noticed the infection; Dr. Alex treated it under a microscope finding it was missing a canal. I don't have any pain anymore! if you are searching for a Root Canal Specialist here is the place. They have technology equipment and knowledge. Even Dr. Alvarez looks young, trust me, he is the bomb with experience. read more

Really love this place! Highly recommend Dr Alex Alvarez, he is super gentle when it comes to any pain. He always checks in on me and makes sure I'm ok and if there's any discomfort. The prices are great as well. I had an infected root canal tooth and they were able to get me in ASAP and were able to control my pain and swelling I had on my face. I recommended 2 friends to this endo and they loved them as well. Definitely going to keep coming for any future dental care... it's worth the 2 hour drive! read more

I went to TJ Endodontics to get some crowns done and since the entrance to the dental chair everything was impeccable and the staff were really friendly.

The office has great technology and they work with great quality material. I will definitely come back to follow up my treatment. read more
