Permanent Crown Los Algodones

Dirk Jul 26, 2016 troutdale, usa  After the dentist in Portland told me $20,000 to fix just the bottom teeth, I looked into Los Algodones dental clinics. I met Eduardo and Itzel who were wonderful. I was thinking of all on four dentures and Eduardo insisted that was wrong for me. I took his advise, getting 2 implants and 13 porcelain crowns and am going back for crowns on the implants. I am grateful for the advise, and for Eduardo's and Itzel's expertise, caring, and great work. My teeth look and feel new and smooth and my front teeth are not crossed anymore. If eating matters to you like it did to me you should change your life for the better and come here. After having implants five months prior, I returned to Evolution Dental. Eduardo made sure I felt safe and no pain as he rechecked my teeth, then installed the crowns on my implants. I also had him do extra work on my uppers by installing a post and another crown. I can't be happier knowing I would not be able to afford this kind of work in the U.S even with dental coverage. I believe that I also received a better job here and was taken care of with professionalism, and expertise. You can't go wrong even with staying here for 2 nights at the hotel and eating in town. I was able to use my flexible spending account from work because Eduardo itemized all the work so I got paid back and he took my personal check. Many people I know will be going there next year because of my testimony and seeing for themselves what a great job they did.

Had to get a complete lower denture made. I went to the office at 0900 and before 1600 I had a brand new denture that looks and feels awesome! And the best part $200! They were sooooo fabulous!

4 implants, partial I drove with my wife from Kelowna, BC (Canada) 3,000 km one way to have an appointment with Xochipilli (Dental Solutions). It was the first visit: we both installed 2 implants each and I had a partial. One implant was USD 700, my partial $ 480. We also bought some antibiotics and pain killer pills fro $10. Everything went very well, no pain, no infection, gums are curing very fast. Xochipilli is very experienced, professional dentist, office is very clean, personnel so nice, like a family. We will go back there in Fall 2015. We recommend this clinic.

I found this dental experience very good. Omar is honest and caring and I was very satisfied with the dental procedure he performed.

Sol Dental Clinic was terrific. They were very professional and courteous. They went out of their way to be helpful. Ruebin was outstanding He went out of his way to greet us and help us in communicating with the staff. We have been back several times and received excellent care every time. I have recommended and sent several people to the clinic. The dentist and eye care center has saved us a lot of money and the work they did was excellent. We will be back.

I was there three days and had three root canals, three crowns for those teeth, six fillings (Dr. Gastelum actually fixed some small ridges and pits also, free of charge), and a cleaning. She actually cleaned my teeth twice, once the first day I got there so that she could evaluate my mouth, I had a lot of stains on my teeth and it was hard to tell cavities from stains. She then cleaned my mouth again, very thoroughly, on the last day after I was done with all the other work. She only charged me for one. For the root canals, they have a specialist (the name of which I can't remember unfortunately), who they called and who came with all his equipment and did the work. The three root canals took about three hours, with very little pain. If I felt anything, he would make sure to give me more anesthetic because he told me very specifically "I don't do work if you have pain." He did the root canals, post and core, and then Dr. Gastelum did the build-up and crowns. The work ended up costing me around $1,700 - in the US, with insurance, it would have cost me something like $4,000. Without insurance it would have cost me close to $6,000 or more, so it was obviously a great deal. I feel like the treatment I got was the same quality as in the US - it's been two weeks, so we'll have to see how it does long term, but right now I'm very happy. I have some implants done by another dentist that I am planning on getting restored through Happy Mouth, and also am looking at bringing my Mom for some work she needs done. I contacted literally 10+ clinics before I chose Happy Mouth. There were others with more reviews, others with more information online, but none of them responded to my questions consistently and went back and forth with me about what I wanted done and how they would do it like Dr. Gastelum and the staff at Happy Mouth. I probably sent and received upwards of 20 emails back and forth. I also was actually communicating with Dr. Gastelum much of the time, not some assistant or a "patient representative," meaning she could answer questions that I had about her techniques and her experience, etc. I'm a difficult patient - this was my first time in Algodones, and I was nervous, wanting every ounce of information I could get. They provided that, and that level of customer service was what convinced me to give them a try. As far as the actual clinic, it's very small, with four chairs in the front and a receptionist table, a small hallway with a restroom at the end and then a off to the right two dental chairs. Some of the equipment in the clinic is older and not new and shiny, which scared me a little bit, but everything was sterilized and Dr. Gastelum and her assistant Dina were professional, and that's what ended up counting to me. The owner of the clinic is named Yadira, and her family owns a lot of property in the town including restaurants. She made sure I had all the food and beverages I wanted, on them, because there was some time waiting. Overall, I recommend the clinic. Dr. Gastelum is a great, kind dentist, and as I said, the level of service was what really made it a good experience for me. I wasn't rushed, and I felt valued as a customer.

I had two implants done. I chose this office because of the reviews it received. Now I can see why the reviews were so good. When I walked into the office I was immediately greeted by the receptionist. The office was very clean and well organized.The doctor and the staff were very nice. The assistant explained everything as we went along. In 3 months I go back to complete the process and looking forward to it.

I originally thought I would go to the largest clinic in town that was first on the list for Dental Departures. I saw a few negative online reviews for the largest clinic that gave me pause, while I couldn't find one negative review for Supreme. Also, the set-up with the clinic owning the hotel where I stayed the first night wasn't a positive for me, especially since the hotel wasn't great. I made my final decision on the night before to go to the second clinic on the list and not to the larger clinic. Ultimately not finding a single negative review online was the reason I went to Supreme since I was flying in from Memphis TN and did not have anyone to recommend a clinic. I was very happy with my experience. Don't be fooled by the cartoon tooth with a crown with an antiquated font for the name as the logo that looks like it is out of the fifties. This clinic uses the latest technology and does a lot of dental work. When I got there for the initial consultation, they immediately took me into a room and took a look at images I bought from my US dentist. They then took Xrays of particular teeth, which went onto a large screen nearby blown-up. My dentist was Fernanda Maldonado, a woman with 6 years of experience and who was comfortable with the latest technology. She was great, making sure I felt no discomfort and using the standard numbing Q-tips and shots like in the US. She handled three zirconia crowns for me. They had a team of 3 people visit the clinic to handle two root canals for me and for other customers as well. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism of the team and was glad to hear that they serve many of the clinics in town. The owner speaks natural American English and lives near Yuma. They own 4 other clinics and have their own lab creating their crowns. I had my root canals and tooth prep on Day 1 and was back on Day 2 to get the crowns put on. A person from the lab came and ground down a couple of high spots on the crowns. They gave prescriptions for a mouthwash to help the gums heal more quickly, antibiotics and a couple of mild pain meds (did not make me sleepy). After eating a meal with the new crowns, I went back and Supreme did a bit more grinding. They now fit perfectly and there is no indication of any problem with the root canals either. Supreme can't be beat!

I had a bone graft, sinus lift and three implants placed by Castle Dental specialists. The work was painless and the recovery was quick and uneventful. I will return in June for the crowns to be placed and any other work that I require. I was very nervous about going through this procedure but can now say that the work was professional and I am recommending Dr. Beltran and Castle Dental to friends here in Canada. My experience was positive and I highly recommend Dr. Beltran and his colleagues and staff to anyone who wishes to seek out first class dental care for avery reasonable cost. Having Angelina at the front desk was a special bonus!

Very happy with my visits. High quality dental services. Very nice office and friendly staff.

I come in regularly from Palm Springs area. I have had my share of incompetent, overpriced dentists in Palm Springs that think they are gifted and entitled to gouging patients. Dr. Zuman is vey honest, accomplished, caring, empathic, spotlessly clean office, state of the art tech. Clients fly in from the Bay area and Las Vegas, etc. He is in high demand. I have had implant and bone grafting done, not to mention root canals, crowns, and extractions. Dr. Zuman is " la creme de la creme. " and the price is right. A, Rancho Mirage I heard about Dr. Charles Zuman through some friends. Los Algodones is an experience in itself and quite an adventure. Lots of merchandise and always bargaining with the merchants. Pharmacies are everywhere as are optometrists and very stylish glasses like here in the U.S. Usually a free eye exam is included. Food is delicious and safe. Parking is $6.00 on the U.S. side in a security parking lot. Customs is very easy. Just declare what you bought. Casino on U.S. side iis very modern with nice restaurant(s) and Vegas like casino. Lodging and swimming pool.

I have known Dr. Guzman since he was in dental school and worked for another Dr. between semesters. I was his first N. American patient and have gone back to him several times for dental work. He has done root canals, extraction, bridges and probably something else I forgot. His work is excellent and he and his staff are very helpful and friendly. His office is clean and equipment is excellent. I would rate the quality of service as excellent and the prices are very reasonable.
