  I've been going to Advanced Smiles Dentistry for over two years now. My dentist is Dr. Metzler. He's done everything from root canals, crowns, fillings, and an implant. The staff... read more is great, they all speak perfect English, the facility is clean, they have great music playing, and they use state-of-the-art equipment. My wife, my dad, and my sister use them as well because I've had such a good experience with them.

  Best dentist I've ever been to!!! Hadn't been to a dentist in several years and was quoted $1,200 for a deep cleaning (dental code D4341) by one dentist and $900... read more by another in the Washington D.C. area. Was in the San Diego area on vacation so decided to check out Advanced Smiles given the awesome reviews they get here. Couldn't have been more pleased! First of all, was quoted a grand total of $200 for the cleaning - less than 25% of the lowest price I was quoted in the States. The price included free FMX full-mouth dental x-rays (D0210) and some other photographic images (D0350).

All the dental staff was extremely friendly. For some reason, my internet connection wasn't working on my cell phone so I couldn't connect to Uber. No problem - after I called the dental office to explain the situation, they contacted Uber for me and had them come to my location to pick me up and drop me off at the dentist. (Paid the Uber driver in cash - cash is a much more common payment method for Uber in Mexico.) Uber ride from my hotel on Revolucion was only around $2 each way - Uber rides from the  border are less than $5 I think. You can also take a taxi from the border for $10-$15 which isn't too bad but Uber is always going to be much much cheaper than a taxi anywhere you go in Tijuana.

The actual deep cleaning was smooth and painless. Most places in the U.S. do deep cleanings over the course of two dental visits; here the entire cleaning is performed in just one visit. My dentist was a younger lady who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything involved with the  process clearly. The entire cleaning took a couple of hours, but again was painless and much smoother than I expected. They also accept American credit cards which was nice. Also want to mention that all of the staff - from the dentists to the hygienists to the front desk staff - spoke clear, understandable English.

I 100% will come back here for any dental procedures I may need in the future not covered by my current insurance in the U.S.

  Important alert: Only use this clinic if you already have a treatment plan, you know what you need, and you don't mind the high prices, because this clinic appears to... read more operate like a factory with focus on profits. The dentist who treated me extracted two teeth unnecessarily, and recommended another unnecessary extraction, most likely in order to increase profits (?). When showing the treatment plan from this clinic to other dentists, I found out other unnecessary costly items in it. Be aware: The dentist who treated me in this clinic appears to have an "itchy extraction finger."

  It has been 2.5 years since my Significant Other and I went to Advanced Smiles.  

I had to get a crown done, and so to save some money, I was... read more looking for a place to go to in TJ, and based on the yelp ratings and reviews I saw, we ended up here.  initially, I thought our experience was actually pretty awesome.  Pretty much the entire staff was very nice, and it felt clean.  Most of the patients there all seemed to be from the States when we were there.

As for the actual experience regarding our teeth, i was told I needed a a few fillings replaced in addition to the crown I needed and my SO was told that she needed a ton of her fillings replaced - she wasn't any feeling any pain or sensitivity at the time, but in trust, we both went forward with our recommended procedures.  

My overall experience seemed to be fine, but my SO, not so much.  she told me that her dentist kept complaining that her mouth was too small, and they eventually put in some kind of mouth opening device, and she said the doctor was not gentle with her.  That was sad to hear, but with the low prices, we chalked it up to just dealing with it.  After 3 separate trips from LA, we were done.

Over the last yeah, both our mouths started experiencing growing sensitivity and discomfort and pain, and unfortunately, a few weeks ago, i ended up just going to a local dentist in Los Angeles, and I had to get a crown on one of the teeth they worked on due to excessive decay under one of fillings Advanced Smiles did on me, and the other filling that was done by Advanced Smiles will also need to be replaced soon.  Also, today, my SO just found out from the local dentist that every single filling done from Advanced Smiles have to be replaced due to decay underneath all of them.

I'm really surprised and unsure why nearly every single tooth worked on both our mouths have a decay problem - our dentist here in LA suggested it could possibly be due to different regulations or inexperience?

Overall, our discount prices so far looks to turn out to be a much more expensive outcome.

Due to the outcome of our teeth now, i would probably opt for a 1 star rating, but I'll give them 2 stars because their staff, minus my SOs dentist, seemed to be very nice, and for folks who need a cheap option for emergency work, this might still be a viable option for them - i just warn that the work done there might need to get replaced or worked on much sooner than you hope.

  Had a root canal along with veneers done a few months ago. I went here due to great reviews and affordable cost. Unfortunately, after a few months of bad cold... read more sensitivity, I developed extreme pain and I had to have another emergency root canal at a US dentist due to a serious infection that had developed. Ended up spending more in the long run.

  These people are the best from the state of the art equipment to the lovely people at the front desk you won't find a better place to have your dental... read more work done. No sitting around waiting for hours. Xrays ct scans everything done right there Julian is one of the best dentists I have ever had (and I hate going to the dentist) You will be glad you went here trust me

  I've been coming here since 2019 and I've had nothing but great experiences. I've had root canals, crowns put on, and more cavities filled than I'd like to admit. Everyone... read more from the dentists, surgeons, assistants, and front desk staff has been incredibly professional and helpful.

They take their time to explain anything you might need to have done and every step along the way. They never tried to get me to do any dental work besides what was strictly necessary (or informed me of the options). There were times where they thought I might need a procedure done, and I was prepared to do it, but upon further investigation it turns out I did not need the procedure. The specialist showed up on sight to do it but, but happily informed me it wasn't needed. This saved me a lot of money and mouth soreness.

I've been recommending Advanced Smiles Dentistry to friends and family and everyone has had a great experience. I don't speak any Spanish and it's very helpful for me that every employee I've talked to who works in the office speaks great English.

Cons:
The only con is about dental work in general. Sometimes procedures take multiple trips to complete. It is a 5 hour drive one way for me and coming here is still my number one choice (even for routine check ups).

They offer a 10% cash discount but you have to mention it specifically when getting charged out.

  I had an amazing experience at advanced smiles. The staff were all friendly and informative from my very first call to inquire. I was so grateful to have a few... read more friends who recommended this place. Crossing the border to Tijuana was easy and the office was a 15 minute uber ride from the border. Crossing the border was easy and quick. Arriving at the dental office I sanitized my shoes and had my temperature taken. All of the staff were wearing masks and the office didn't have too many people.
There 3d x- ray imaging is the newest technology I've ever seen at a dentist. They took my x- rays and pulled them up on a big screen to show my and talk treatment plan. I appreciate how straightforward the process was. No hidden costs, and I saved over$1k on the work I had done.
This is a dental office to trust.

  My experience wasn't very good. I wanted it to be good. They preformed 3 root canals at the same day. That part was done very well. Came back a few... read more weeks later. My crowns didn't fit well. 2 weeks later 1 crown crumbled. The second one was too big and crumbled as well. Now can see the  metal fitting. He shaved down one of teeth to make the crown fit. Guess what, that tooth has a cavity now and I need a root canal. So I need 1 rootcanal and two new crowns. They charged me 2300 dollars. Will not be back unless they fix their mistakes.

  Such a great experience. They made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Everyone there was so incredibly friendly. Look no further for your dental needs. I'll definitely be back!... read more

  Best experience of my life. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I was nervous and horrified and I hate pain. I felt no pain, the office is clean, the... read more procedure was fast and I picked up my prescription at costco Tijuana.

Truly one of the best experience I've had with medical professionals.

  I love this place and feel that this is the best Dentist experience i've ever had hands down.  Dr. Florez and Dr. Joseph have both practiced on me and have... read more done an outstanding job.  The girls at the front desk are very nice to and enjoy talking with them.  Healthcare is ridiculous in the USA with exorbitant prices.  They will appreciate your business and work extra harder with extra care.

  From the first time I stepped into the clinic I knew i was in the right place. Great atmosphere and they make you feel like you are very well taken... read more care off. Dr. Julian De Anda has been my dentist for 4 years and he exudes professionalism like no other, always applying new and advanced techniques for dental care and aesthetics.

I would highly recommend Advanced Smiles Dentistry to anyone who is in search for great and professional dentistry services.

  Saw their great Yelp reviews and gave them a shot. Their office staff was friendly and professional. I had 2 implants done and 5 fillings.

I recently had to go back and get two crowns repaired due to me trying to eat really hard candy and instead of trying to rip me off like most places would they repaired both crowns and I can't even tell they had any work done too them.  This is one of the best dentist offices I've ever been too and I will keep going back.

  I had a bonding on my front tooth from a previous dentist fall off because of an accidental head butt.  This place was recommended because the last place I went... read more was a nightmare! Thelma took very good care of me. Xrays and pictures was their protocol. She told me about cavities that my previous dentist had not told me about. She did a PERFECT job on fixing my broken tooth. Better than any other dentist I've had before. I am so happy that I found this place. I definitely trust Thelma to go back and fix the rest of my teeth!

Extremely clean and so far very happy with treatment
