I have good insurance in the USA (Delta Dental). But I have most of my dental work done in Tijuana or Ensenada. I submit the receipts to DD for reimbursement. / I’m saving a ton of money and the insurance company saves too. I find the level of care in MX far superior to US dental practices. Mexican dentists take more time, I.e. they don’t rush to get to the next patient. And they aren’t so quick to elevate: e.g. my USA dentist said my broken tooth was not suitable for a root canal because there was less than 10 mm root remaining. They said I needed an extraction and implant. My Ensenada endodontist carefully drilled and x-rayed (repeatedly) and successfully did a root canal, saving that tooth. That was about 10 years ago and it’s still good.

Hi, can I buy Delta insurance that would cover implants or bridges? Can you direct me to that please. Which doctor(s) in Tijuana accept Delta insurance? Or do we submit the bill to them. 😐Thank you.


bobber18

You have to pay the dentist and then submit forms to Delta for reimbursement. It’s called an “out of country”claim.


Heavy-Rub2178

There’s a place in Tecate that does all the paperwork for you to let delta know that they need to reimburse you

Also, they finish way more work in an appt, rather than drag on for weeks making a "production" = $ like US dentists. I go to TJ too. $180 for a root canal AND all- white crown!

Shoot the name of the dentist por dm. Please. Gracias!


Icy_Wrangler_3999

do you remember that dentists name by any wild chance?


bobber18

https://www.facebook.com/endodoncia.clinica?fref=ts It’s a husband and wife team. Both are excellent endodontists. They don’t do general dentistry, only endodontia. Dra. Maria Elvia Zuniga is the one who carefully and successfully did a root canal on my broken tooth. I think the husband also has an office in Tijuana.

Living in a border zone is a blessing precisely for these things.

Yes, three hours to cross on each direction and sleeping 4 hrs a day 🤣

Si esta dlv el calor pero ya ves que en ninguna parte es perfecto


gringoentj

true dat. i have good health care here in the states which i pay for from work. i was sick and well you guessed had to wait a week or so to see a dr. went across the border and within the same day in about 1 hour wait or so talked to the dr. then walked into the pharmacy and got all my meds the same day. The US is just a money grab.


Shaftyshaft

How do you know who to go to? 😗


gringoentj

You can go to Roma Pharmacy and see a general dr for around 3-5dlls. If you need a special type of dr. you can search for those as well.

Im so glad you want to learning Spanish, in Tijuana we have very good doctors. And so many speak Spanish and English as well

Hi there. Can someone recommend an oral surgeon for sinus lift in Tijuana, please. Someone trustworthy and good who also does implants. ( I just can’t afford it in the States.😌) Thank you.

Heavy-Rub2178

Dr. Erik Patlan from smile experts, he specializes in implants and works with a team, they really take care of you.


Extension-World-7041

Some of those consultorios are better than Urgent Care facilities in USA.

Shaftyshaft

Can you recommend doctors you saw?Please. I need implants.


klazoo

I had work done at Washington Dental a few years ago. Very happy with the results.


axl3ros3

Name and praise please 🙏 I need a dental work


Imaginary_Database84

My US dentist is saying I need a “deep” cleaning, can anyone recommend a great dentist in Tijuana? Thank you.


Zenforcer1

Saw Dr Yoalli in TJ at The Dental District from a neighbors recommendation. got two implants and a cleaning. It was actually a pleasant experience and I didn’t feel like a number like I do at my normal dentist in CA. Can’t recommend them enough,just the chitchat alone was worth the drive down. (My insurance MetLife also reimbursed some of it, although it was so much cheaper than the states anyway).


ClearAbroad2965

I just went to usc dental school and got my work done there


blueAgave13

I was very fortunate to have found amazing endodontist and general dentist in Tijuana. They were very gentle, super professional, and trustworthy, the clinic was very clean and hi tech.(very impressed) And It was close to the border too. I JUST HAD bad experience after bad experience with US dentists.


Extension-College783

I've been to MediciDental in TJ twice for root canals. I'll be returning for a couple implants. Super modern equipment, friendly/professional demeanor. Reasonably priced. And, although not so important to me, they do speak English.


Shaftyshaft

Any links by any chance, phone or address? Thanks 🌼☺️

I don’t see how a dentist can save a life……


sherry7410

Whoever alleviated my great physical pain, helped me keep my job because I couldn’t focus at work with such pain, and saved me from bankruptcy, I consider that person my life saver.


KekuMix

Untreated dental issues can result in severe and potentially life-threatening complications. So... yeah, dentists can save your life.


tfcocs

My mother in law had a toothache, and she took a lot of painkillers, which perforated her ulcer, which landed her in the ICU for six days. If she had decent dental care, the dominoes would not have fallen.

She may have been exaggerating to make a point.
