Dr. Alejandro Benitez Dental Clinic

This place is awesome!!! Everybody there is extremely nice, the building and equipment was immaculately clean. I am a big chicken when it comes to going to the dentist and was scared at first because I needed a lot of work done. I was there for several hours three days in a row and I literally slept through most of it, I felt absolutely no pain at all. I recommend parking in the parking lot (it's only $2.00) and walking across the border, the clinic is only a few feet away once you cross over.

My husband got a deep cleaning, fillings, root canals and 2 crowns.
Everyone who worked on him did an excellent job. We are extremely satisfied! Thank you all very much!

We are from Atlanta, GA and were visiting Houston, TX when we came to know the clinic was 5-hour drive on the border and decided to give it a try. Good experience and keep up the good work.

The atmosphere at the clinic was very comfortable and clean! Especially the staff, they all had wonderful smiles on their face. Everyone is very soft spoken at the clinic and especially hats off to Abby, she is so good at multitasking!

I am excited to share my story. So many people are in need of dental work and hide their smile because of their teeth, I was one of those people.

I have been to many dentists here in Florida and every time I felt a bit of hope I only left the offices disappointed. I have advanced periodontal disease and bone loss. My teeth were failing, crooked and discoloured. I took to photoshopping my teeth in all my pictures because it was embarrassing for me to look at yet people that know me knew the truth. The cost to fix it was out of my reach.

Someone mentioned Mexico. Yes, I was sceptical. Yes, I was scared. But I was desperate and wanted so badly to be able to smile without being ashamed. So I put my story/inquiry out there on WhatClinic's page.

What did I have to lose? Immediately Aby from Dr Alejandro Benitez Dental Clinic responded to me. Her response was genuine, I felt comfortable and felt like someone really was going to help me achieve my dream. I sent her a copy of my X-rays from the last dentist I went to. (Yes you can get a copy of your X-rays, they are your personal record).

Less than a day went by again thinking there was too much involved and she wasn't going to answer me. I got up the next morning and saw the email. I literally had tears in my eyes when I opened the email and saw the estimated with everything they were going to do. I couldn't believe it. No, it wasn't free but it was a quarter of the cost it was going to cost me here.

I have begun my journey. My first visit they got started right away. Hours of working on me but it didn't feel like it. They were so kind, gentle and honestly no pain. The very first day they completed the issues with my top teeth. I left the office with my temporaries. When I got back to the hotel I looked in the mirror and again tears for joy ran down my face. For the first time in a long time, my reflection smiled back. It took three days of long hours but well worth it. I have to go back in October to get my finals but for now, I have 100's of compliments and so many people truly amazed at the beautiful work done by this dentist.

I can honestly say, I have never been to a dentist that I truly felt comfortable with. But Dr Alejandro and his staff are amazing, I am thrilled with them all. What do you have to lose by just inquiring? They truly get 5 stars from me. I can't wait till October.

I needed extensive dental work done and I do not have any insurance. A good friend of mine used this clinic and recommended it. My work involved a comprehensive dental examination and subsequent plan to address: 1 tooth extraction (it could not be saved), 3 small cavities, 4 to 5 roots canals, 5 crowns and 1 permanent bridge with required to more "anchor" crowns.

I'm from the NYC area and flew into Houston and then drove to stay in a hotel on the Texas side of the border. It's so easy to get to the clinic. You drive to the border and just before the international bridge on the right is a large parking lot that costs $2. Then you pay your 50 cents pedestrian toll to walk across the 500-foot long bridge and the Benitez clinic is about 200 feet down the street on the left side.

All my work was done in 4 days with an average of 4 hours each day in the chair. In the USA all of this work would have cost me about $16,000 and it was all done at the Benitez clinic for $4,300 (would have been even less but I opted for the more expensive crown material which added $1,000).

My first interaction with the clinic was calling from home and I spoke with Abby. Had it not been for her professionalism and ability to answer any question I had, I would not have made the trip.

This clinic knows how important it is to have a capable, responsible and knowledgeable "front of house" patient manager. After the full examination, knowing I was only there for 6 days, Dr Benitez and his team put together a plan for all of the work I needed. Every detail about the cost was very clearly explained, no shock or surprises, just a clear explanation.

While this is one of the more expensive clinics in Nuevo Progreso. It's clear why I have no regrets or reservation about recommending Dr Benitez and his team to anyone.

It’s been a while and all I can say is that is the best dentist I have ever been to in my life. Luckily I live in Texas and it’s a few hours drives.

I have no insurance and if you're a cash person. Go!

I found this clinic on the internet and they have English-speaking staff. I had my dental implants done with them and it was well worth the money. They quoted me prior to the appointment. I’m so pleased with the results and the service.

The clinic met all of my expectations. They were really excellent and I’ve had several follow-ups now. They have a team of friendly, professional staff that communicate well in English. Another thing that reassured me, was the number of American patients they’ve treated.

I didn’t actually plan on choosing this dentist, but I went to Mexico and this was the first clinic that contacted me. I had dental implants done here and the treatment was good value.

To be honest, I had no idea what to expect, so I reserved judgment until I got to the clinic. I also couldn’t find any prices online, but I decided to go down to the clinic anyway. I haven’t been back to Mexico again. I probably need to go for follow-ups - I think I might have one tooth that’s cracked.

I needed a bone graft and implant, but had delayed the procedure in Houston due to some pending issues with polyps in my sinus cavity. After removing the polyps, the expense for the implant procedure was, in my opinion, excessive.

I located Dr. Benitez on the internet. His in-house assistant, Aby was extremely informative and patient in working with our schedule. We found Aby to be completely accurate in response to my many questions. We experienced no security concerns with entering Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. Dr. Benitez is only a stone's throw from the US-Mexico border.

The bone graft and implant procedure took approximately 2 hours. I had been thoroughly checked by my dentists in Houston, and Dr. Benitez conducted the identical protocol which I would have experienced in Houston. Dr. Benitez took special attention to my previous sinus passage concern and incorporated a membrane to protect the sinus.

I will return in a few months to have the crown installed and enjoy the fact I will save over $4,000.00 in costs. Truly amazing.

Finally, enough cannot be said for the personal attention that Dr. Benitez and his staff showed me. During my time in South Texas, I returned several times for a follow-up examination. I never received any impression that I was burdensome, and, in fact, I believe that Dr. Benitez truly encouraged me to return if I had any concerns. I am now retired, but I will continue to return to Dr. Benitez for all of my dental needs.

Regarding Dr. Benitez's facility, the clinic was clean and he had all of the necessary dental apparatus (ie. panoramic xray, etc.) that you would find in any modern facility. Dr. Benitez's staff was impeccable.

It has been a wonderful experience.

This is the first time he visited the Clinic. Dr. Alejandro Benitez. It has been a wonderful experience. I felt at home. Everything even the staff was very attentive with good prices. I will be back.

My initial visit was very informed, they took a full scan and gave me several options including the one I had initially had come down to get done. After reviewing the X-Rays Dr. Benitez had given me a better plan that not only gave me a nicer smile but was also very reasonable in pricing to go the extra step and basically get my full upper teeth all done with bridge work. I plan to go back and work out a plan to get the bottom teeth done now. Since returning to Canada I haven't stopped smiling!!

I visited Dr. Benitez office on June 9th, 2017 after arriving from Canada. My experience was excellent, Aby at the front desk, whom I had the pleasure of finally meeting after spending weeks back and forth asking questions and getting information on not just the Dentists, but the pricing and where to stay and how to get to the office once arriving in Harlingen Texas (The closest airport to their office) was very professional and very affordable. I had spent several months researching different offices and locations and it was Aby who calmed my fears and I trusted! I finally decided to get my teeth finally done. It was very well worth the trip!!

Wanted a beautiful smile and that's exactly what I got! Would definitely go back!!!

My experience was wonderful!! The staff is wonderful and very pleasant. Was always checking to see if I needed anything or needed more meds for pain. Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

I was very pleased with the work I had done (2 crowns). The office staff is very professional, friendly, I have already told some relatives and they also went to the clinic. Very pleased. We plan on using this clinic next visit.

I was referred to Dr Benitez by several friends in the US but had been reluctant to go across the border because of the many stories from the past. Nonsense.. I went with a friend several weeks ago and was soooo pleased that I did. I had two permanent bridges, two cavities repaired (can't see where, and they are on my front teeth) and two implants. Not only was it painless but I saved a mere $38,000 from the quotes I received from San Antonio Dentists.

I was so pleased with the work and cost that I took my youngest son who needed 19 cavities and a deep cleaning done. I had been told that he needed his wisdom teeth extracted and it would have to be done via oral surgery and the cost was astronomical. After going to Dr Benitez, he showed us the xrays of the wisdom teeth and they were straight and did not need surgery at all. After all said and done we saved another $11,000 and the repairs were painless.

Next was my oldest son who had just been to the dentist in San Antonio that had charged him $130 to fill one cavity. They told him that he had 9 more that needed to be filled but that would not do the work or even clean his teeth unless he had this special gum treatment that cost $300 first. We went to Dr. Benitez and guess what! One cavity easily repaired on his front tooth( can't see the repair at all) a good cleaning revealed that he did not need any other work! total cost $55.

To say that we are pleased is somewhat understated. Tomorrow I am taking my wife to have a checkup and cleaning done.

I can not say enough about the way we have been treated by the staff. They are incredible.. Abby speaks better English than I do so don't worry about the language barrier because there is not one. Also if you need other services like eye glasses, pharmacy etc. they can help you find the right one and take the worry out of which to choose. I found glasses with the help of Abby and I got progressive lenses with exam and frames for $140. I paid $800 in San Antonio.

I hope this helps someone find the right dentist in Progresso because there are so many to choose from

Extremely clean and sanitary. Xray technology was amazing.
