My name is Marlene
I am from Las Vegas. I was going to a dentist in Tijuana called Gumwise, which was horrible, charging me so much, but literally I was getting worse, had mouth sores from their uncleaned instruments. I was at a loss...completely.In Las Vegas, I could not afford the dentist, and they were more interested in selling me X-rays than getting to the problem. Always going to different dentists to get work done, but they wanted so much money, which I could not afford. So, being that I already understood how to get to Tijuana from Guatemala. I take a shuttle its easy for me to go at night and arrive by daylight.
I recommend that if you can, and don't like to drive far. It is safe and secure. I pretty much go at night and arrive about 430 am. There are shuttles everywhere, so check into it. How Tijuana works is very simple... it is just a walk through the San Ysidro border by San Diego, and within three minutes, leaving the border, you are met with a line of taxis in Tijuana. They are really not badly priced. Also. An Uber-type service called Didi
To get to Maite Moreno Delgados at New City is quick from the border. She will meet you in New City, a super-modern, gigantic medical facility- you can walk to that in about 15 minutes. She's all about accuracy. When I first met her, she was this sweet older lady with perfect hair. I was always amazed by how active and robust her mental activity is. She gave me a nice hello and immediately took me into this medical facility, which has a very nice X-ray office. Super modern, I was amazed, and believe me, for me to be amazed, it takes something special. That's how I can describe this dentist -she just has it. She seems to know everyone who's anybody in the dental world over there. X-rays, I think, for Panorama was 50; instantly, they give you the X-ray. The first appointment is the longest because she literally goes over everything and uses the X-ray. Most dentists, even the one I saw before, felt it was unnecessary. Not Maite, she explained to me that sometimes there are things you cannot see with the eye, or it may look like a little something, but X-rays, combined with her extreme knowledge, made the total difference.
I was so damaged by the other dentist. I was like testing her to see if she knew her stuff because I was not going to be tricked again
I discovered her from researching the best dentists in Tijuana, and her name came up again and again.
She not only passed the test but also worked on me beyond my expectations. She gave me my different options and was super detailed. She's been a dentist for over 25 years, and it really shows. She has the most endearing and kindest 💖 assistant. Denise, who made my experience better. She's so into her job every minute, supporting Maite, that I felt I was in the hands that needed to be in. Sometimes angels do exist, and I needed this one. She put on a crown from Attelier. One thing I will say is that other dentists in Tijuana don't do is tell you where they get their crowns from. She does
She uses Attelier, which uses images from another computer placed in a new city its similar to a sonogram. It does some type of 3d image that is sent directly to this lab
How it was explained to me is that it's to make the contact the tightest, so there is no infiltration
.That's exactly the type of crown I needed more than happy with that.
My crowns were all leaking, causing me too much pain. It takes appointments. Usually, a crown takes two days for the lab to complete. My personal recommendation is to stay a few days and get stuff done so you don't need to get a long-term temp. Denise even picked me up from my hotel. We travelled in a mini bus, which is public transportation, costing about 15 pesos. Maitre's office is 20 minutes from New City its nice and recently remodelled. I saw its transformation since she's been doing different things on my for about two months. I'm now in the happy phase, my mouth is sane. I go back to her for my cleanings because I trust her and feel it's needed.
Not all dentists are good, not all dentists care. This is where Maite stands out, and I went through the whole process with her from start to finish. Exams, cleanings, root canals, crowns, and implants. I'm leaving my email in case anybody has questions about how to get around, my experiences, or even where to eat near the dental clinic. It's marlenevegas880@gmail.com. If I can help you out, I will. I know how it is. Before I went to Tijuana, nobody explained to me. I just went to the border with my passport in hand, looking to fix my teeth...So, in conclusion, to me as dentists go its just Maite Moreno Delgado. I found my gold standard, and I am not changing...took a minute to discover after looking a bit ..In case you ever read this, Maite..thank you, I can finally smile, and I appreciate all the work you have done... It's literally life-changing, and I can finally eat without pain...I'll be back in 4 months for my cleaning too.😀
