Hollywood Smile Nuevo Progreso

One of the Best Decisions I've Ever Made About eight months ago, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life. For years I struggled with my teeth. I avoided smiling in pictures, was always aware of my teeth when talking to people, and eating wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been. I finally reached the point where I knew I had to do something. Like most people, I started researching. I'm the type of person who researches everything before making a big decision, and this was no different. I spent months reading reviews, watching videos, comparing clinics, and trying to figure out who I could trust. The cost of full-mouth dental implants in the United States was overwhelming. The quotes I received were simply more than I was willing or able to spend, which led me to start researching treatment in Mexico. What finally pointed me in the right direction was someone who's been like a second mom to me. One of her close friends had gone through the dental work process with Dr. Salazar, and he couldn't say enough good things about his experience. That recommendation gave me a place to start, but I still spent months doing my own research before making my decision. After everything I learned, I knew this was the place I wanted to go. I drove from Dallas to McAllen, parked near the international bridge, and walked across into Nuevo Progreso. If you've never done it before, don't let it intimidate you. It was much easier than I expected, and within just a few minutes of crossing the bridge I was at the clinic. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt comfortable. The office was clean, modern, organized, and equipped with advanced technology. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and Abby made the entire process easy by helping with scheduling and answering every question I had. One thing that really impressed me was seeing so many returning patients. I met people who were back for different stages of their treatment, and hearing their stories gave me even more confidence that I had made the right decision. My treatment included 26 extractions, 9 implants, and full upper and lower zirconia arches. It was a life-changing process. Today I smile without thinking about it. I can eat comfortably again, speak naturally, and laugh without worrying about my teeth. I don't hide my smile in pictures anymore, and I don't think twice before meeting someone new or walking into a business meeting. What surprised me the most wasn't just how good my smile looks—it was how much better I feel. Being able to chew properly again has improved my daily life, and the confidence that comes from having healthy teeth is something that's hard to describe until you've experienced it yourself. I honestly feel healthier, happier, and more confident than I have in years. Most of all, I feel like myself again. People sometimes ask me if travelling to Mexico was worth it. Without hesitation, my answer is yes. Not because it was less expensive—although the savings compared to the U.S. were substantial—but because I received outstanding care from a team that does this every day. Even after factoring in travel, I was able to receive treatment that would have cost significantly more in the United States. Looking back, this wasn't just an investment in my teeth. It was an investment in my health, my confidence, and my future. If you're reading this because you're trying to decide whether to make the trip, I completely understand. I was exactly where you are not long ago. My advice is simple: do your research, ask questions, and choose a team you trust. For me, that team was Dr Salazar and everyone at the clinic. Looking back today, I only have one regret. I wish I had done it sooner. Thank you to Dr. Salazar, Abby, and the entire team for everything you did for me. You didn't just restore my smile—you gave me back my confidence and changed my quality of life. I hope my experience helps someone else who's sitting where I was, wondering if they should take that first step. This wasn't just one of the best investments I've made in my teeth—it was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. I would make the same decision again without hesitation. — Justin, Dallas, Texas

The dentist's office is super clean and very quick and safe to get to. They speak both Spanish and English. Parking is very accessible. Appts and walk ins are both welcome.

They were very good. Had a crown partial crown and a root canal. They spent the time needed to do it right. Felt more comfortable with their abilities than the dentist I have been going to for 25 years in wichita KS. They picked me up and dropped me off at the border. Would recommend to anyone can't beat their price and quality. Top-notch personal and equipment. As they say in Mexico "PERFECTO". Thank you
