Viva Los Algodones! Two years ago I finished up all on 4 dental implants at Dental Solutions. It has completely changed my life! Great video! I hope this video assists others in finding happiness with their smile!
Hi Cathy, thank you for your comment. I'm looking for the same All on 4 implants, two arches, top and bottom. So full mouth. I've made appointments for all my teeth pulled (whats left of them) by an oral surgeon in just a few weeks (here). I haven't searched for a dentist in Mexico (Los Algodones) yet, but I've heard of sani dental. Here's my question: do they accept credit card as payment? I will ask them once I settle on a dentist there. Thank you in advance! And congratulations on your new teeth!
From the videos I watched they said most of them do take credit cards but there is an additional fee to use the credit card like 3 or 4% maybe? I was prepared to pay the fee and just use my credit card, but my dentist said she would take a personal check.
Thanks Cathy, for your review on Sani Dental! I came here looking for a great dental review, not a road trip with a car or walking across the border with shopping…. Ugh, there are tons of these on the internet, it’s so redundant.
Awesome choice in Dentist! I sent my "Treatment Plan" and X-Rays to five different dentist in Los Algodones, MX after a "Dentist in Sun City Arizona" wanted to replace an existing Implant because the crown on it was broken? Duh! Total cost was estimated at $17,600.00 USD for crowns, 3 implants and all the work the US Dentist recommended WHAAAT! I decided it was time for looking into dental tourism. Dr. Celsa Salmeron impressed me when she asked in her email response; "Is there something wrong with the Implant? Is it loose? I see no reason to replace it you just need a new Crown on it." After my first visit we discussed "Items of concern" she noted on my X-Rays sent to her. Four (4) crowns with decay in the bases needing new buildups and new crowns and ... A DEAD Tooth with a calcified root and visible infection at the base, AKA a "Abscessed Tooth" all of which was plainly visible in the X-rays the Sun City Dentist provided me. None of it was on his "Treatment Plan" that would have added a additional $5,000.00 + for a total of $23,,600.00 USD Dr. Salmeron was very professional and explained every detail while breaking down the price for each procedure required for each tooth. I was beyond pleased. In two days completed; two extractions, One Implant, and a Root Canal for a cost of .....$2,200.00 after two more visits everything will be done that I have needed for more than 15 years but could not afford. For everything $6,200.00 VS $23,600.00 I might add that the technology the Dental Specialist who came to her office to do the root canal was far better than the "Specialist" I have seen in the USA! I highly recommend shopping various Dentist in Los Algodones there are over 200 dentist in the small town and you have plenty of choices. All were willing to do all the work on my treatment plan.... but, ONLY Dr. Celsa Salmeron wanted to do the work that was NECESSARY! Highly recommend her office.
@@CheesychesbrosHi guys! Much appreciate your video, info & adorable furkid❤ It was hard to decipher name of your chosen dentist. Celsa…? Do you still recommend her? Hope to hear from you.
thank you so much! we actually have had more work done and I prefer Navarro Dental now, and it goes to show that you really should try a few, there are so many to choose from down there.
Hey great video! I just got back from Los Algodones. Flew from Canada. Spent 6 days right in town. I loved it. I've never been to Mexico before I was hesitant but would highly recommend it I too had extensive work done. And I mean extensive... I'm making plans just to return to have the cleaning done. That's how much I liked it.😃
Thanks @TJ Millin ! It’s good to hear from one of the #Snowbirds from #Canada! Sometimes we here in the #USA think we’re the only ones who have a hard time finding good affordable work. We’re so glad you had a good experience!
Lots of Canadians in town now, Canadian License plates everywhere. Great weather here now. I spent a month in Canada some years ago & I told the immigration/customs official that I was "bringing some money back to Canada" after the Canadians were spending so much in Yuma!
We've been there 5 times and tried several dentists. We've had good success with Rubio, Sani, Maria Gutierrez, and Circle. We did have poor work done at Lopez so I was wrong that any work in Algodones is going to be great. I was on a quest to visit a different one each time. I think I'll try yours next time. I've always thought there's a better one around the corner and I've gotten lots of referrals from people we've met there.
We've also stayed in Los Algodones at the California, Hacienda and the one next to Sani (Plaza?) hotels. They've all been good, but Los Algodones is dead in the evening. Also, we've found great deals in Yuma motels with good breakfasts which made them competitive with Mexico.
The best Video for walking you through the process and getting you aquinted with the roads you will take including markers and a good understanding & Video of walking through the border and navigating the pathways through the city of the Dentists which are everywhere. They give you info on Dentist they ended up using. Great Instruction Video. Very informative.
Fun video. I just got back from Los Algodonas, my 2nd trip for 3 implants. I chose supreme dental. Your correct the offices are so clean and staffers are so helpful and professional. My next and last trip at least for my 3 implants will be in 6 months. . yes locals are helpful and friendly, some asking me if everything is ok ,can I help you with anything. I feel very safe when I'm walking around checking out restaurants and arts and crafts. Cheer's to all of us opened minded traveler's. I'm from Lathrop California..
Hubby & I are gearing up for a trip down there for dental work. I enjoyed your video very much. I’m wondering if you have any other tips? We just do not know where to begin. We are driving into the area with a 40 ft fifth wheel.
I called ahead and scheduled appts, and hotel all through Sani Dental. I drove in and parked in their garage. Food was great, clean hotel and great care❤️
Not a good idea to drive over the border. The line to get back is incredible, especially in the Winter. You also should have car insurance for Mexico.You also need your passport. I use the dental place. You can see the sign to the right as you hit the main street. 80,000 Winter visitors from Canada & Northern U.S. in the Winter.
2:14 rum dental group used to be my dentist for braces $50 to get bands changed every month definitely recommend notes to remember : wear comfy shoes ! , bring water bottle that stays cold i definitely recommend you get one of those water bottle purses . id parking in the parking lot its $6 to park btw the lines to wait is way to long not worth it at all , and yes they do check ur bags if ur going walkin . all i need to leave is my state id .
I watch no less than 5 YT videos everyday, its an insanely educational tool and entertaining. Your (this) video is one of the best I've ever viewed by an individual or couple, maybe the best. It was like I was walking alongside you. Educational and entertaining, BRAVO! How has the dental work held up since this video?
Oh my gosh, wow! Thank you so much, ❤️❤️ Dental work has held up great for Nate and I, I went back to get some more work done and went to a different dentist and love him even more. So many great options there. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment ❤️
I’m so glad it helped. That was my intention. It’s been a year and so far so good we are really happy with the work! And to be honest, even if we weren’t happy with the work, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Los Algodones and just find another dentist. I had awful work done by a US dentist 20 years ago so I know that there are always bad dentist out there. What I liked about Los Algodones was all the options we had and how quick we could get into any one of them.
you said you did alot of research to decide which dentist... what kind of research did you do ? thanks. I got work done in progresso, and some of it was terrible and some great
I read reviews on line, I watched RUclips Videos and we met with 4 different dentists before choosing. I think that is the hardest part, taking a day to meet with a bunch of different dentists, but you can't do that in the US (because appts take so long to get and dentists are few and far between) and I think it is worth taking advantage of
I went in 2019 in Jan. during the government shutdown. I only went to fill a prescription but I needed an unusual medication that most pharmacies don't stock. A helpful local guide used his own cell phone to call all over town till he found a place with it in stock.
Greetings from Atlanta, GA would you mind sharing your top four you chose? I am need of 4 implants, 2 fillings, and a crown. My 16 year old wants braces, 9 yr old needs several filling’s.
We went to Grace dental studios, I really liked them, we went to hi Tech dental, my husband really liked them, neither one of us liked simply dental, and we both like the dentist we chose which was Dr Celsa Salmeron. There are so many choices, I highly suggest meeting with several as they will make appointments very easily, and you will find someone that you are very comfortable with, we were so glad we did it this way
LOL! I love that you did that! I would have done the same thing I’m a total dog lover😂😂. After this first video we made, we started making a whole bunch more all about our dog Lacey, you should check them out I bet it will remind you of your Freddie Doggie ❤️
Hi there - it was an exit just outside of Yuma. It looks like it’s exit 166 which is the California highway 186 - it is a short road about a mile or two down to a large parking lot right at the border. We parked at the parking lot before walking over each day. We stayed in Yuma.
When they take X rays, do they put a lead vest on you? I read an article in Slate where they didn’t - no protection from the radiation. I am definitely interested in going to Los Algodones, great video!
Right?! Believe me I had the same question when I started this. Once you start researching four or five will start getting your attention and just start there….the more the better, yay for choices!
@@Cheesychesbros are there any incompetent dentists , I wonder if the Los algodones dentists supervise themselves to control for dentists that have not been trained , is there a Los algodones chamber of commerce section supervising 300 dentists , or is it the true wild west , the fact that there might not be a clearing house function is "interesting " , American physicians are really horrible when it comes to exposing dangerous Dr's , they just shuffle them to another hospital/state
You are absolutely correct there are bad dentists everywhere, that’s why you should do your research, Google reviews and other reviews come in very handy these days, I’m not sure I would’ve felt so comfortable doing this 20 years ago without having all the reviews of thousands of people who have done this before us
What's going on with that RV park. When I drove down there a couple of years ago, it was empty but it looked like they were trying to restore it. Now I see trailers and they all look the same. FEMA shelters for amnesty seekers? Some of those people on the street will ask if you want a lot more than dental or optical services.
Has the work you had done held up? Any issues? No matter how many people say it's all good, the idea of oral surgery in MX terrifies me - and I've lived and worked in MX.
I completely understand, except the idea of oral surgery scares me in the US just as much. So far yes but it’s only been two months but both of our teeth feel great. I highly recommend meeting with three or four different dentists because there are so many choices and you should be able to find someone that will make you very comfortable
Yes in fact on Saturday the crown didn’t fit right, our dentist sent it back to be redone on Saturday night and she came in on Sunday to finish it up. Which was amazing.
This was not an advertisement for the dentist we used, although we did like her a lot, we just wanted to show people that you had more than 300 options in one little town. I strongly suggest that everyone do their own research and interview their own dentist to find a good fit for them. We do show in the video in the end the dentist we use, but again we are not trying to promote one dentist we are trying to show that you have options in Los Algodones
@@Cheesychesbros THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AND FOR THE TIME YOU TAkE TO ANSWER EVERYBODY... So many questions, some of US never been there but definitely are planning to go for dental work. MIND THE TERROR...lol . I am tired of waiting MONTHS for an effective appointment, not mentioning that an entire work can take up to a year or more.
@@ELFASHIONISTA that is exactly how I felt, I was so frustrated with the treatment they were trying to give Nate that I had to find other options and this was such a great alternative. And I wanted to make sure everybody knew they have choices don’t be afraid to meet with several dentist. I know it sounds taxing but it isn’t and you can make them all in one day and it’s amazing how comfortable it will make you feel just meeting with all of them.
I'm wondering if I should/could just stroll into town with my x-rays and a week off to get some major work done. 10 crowns and maybe an implant. Does this sound like a horrible idea to anyone? Lol. Thanks for the video.
Hi Brian, it’s not a terrible idea at all, it’s pretty much what we did, we decided on a Thursday to take the entire next week off, and on Thursday I was able to get four appointments by the next Tuesday, most of them were able to fit me in that next day on Friday but we weren’t going to be there by then. They are extremely flexible and you have so many choices that if one’s not available - move onto the next, I suggest meeting with a bunch of them as they are all different. But your thought is exactly what my thought was and exactly pretty much what we did with a few days planning, that’s why we ended up with the huge house we didn’t need, but we were saving so much in dental work that’s how I justified the cost😂
The Quechan casino hotel in the USA side is very safe and you are two minutes from the border. Good place to stay if it's your first time. DONT be afraid of going into Mexico you will enjoy it. Park your car on the US side and walk across
I think if people would take care of their teeth to begin with they wouldn't have problems with them in the first place I never had problems like that with my teeth brush your teeth twice a day with a good electric toothbrush I use Oral B, floss everyday sometimes twice & most of all cut sugar out from your diet & you won't ever have any problems with your teeth. Also I don't have to pay anything for my dentists in the US for cleanings my insurance pays for it but it does help to take care of your teeth too. These dentists in Mexico are making a huge profit off you since they don't deal with insurance like the US does. I love my dentist in the US & I love the fact that my dental insurance covers just about everything I don't even have to pay a copay either.
What is the point of your comment and the need to lecture those of us who were not responsible with our teeth maintenance or do not have the great insurance you have? Im trying to figure out why you felt compelled to comment?
I have been in Los Algodones, Mexico and I like almost everything in that border town, however I would not trust any dentist over there because of healthy concerns. No dental office comply with the health regulations for lack of resources. You are exposed to get Serious illnesses like hepatitis, hiv, tuberculosis etc.

I've been there 3 times (from Wisconsin). Love it and the dentists in America are always happy with the work the Mexican dentists have done for me.
Thanks Debbie! We are happy with our work too.
Viva Los Algodones! Two years ago I finished up all on 4 dental implants at Dental Solutions. It has completely changed my life! Great video! I hope this video assists others in finding happiness with their smile!
Thank you! We really wanted to give an accurate depiction of our experience. We are so glad you got good work!
How was the pricing of the implants?
@markc7274 $19,000, however due to a specialized surgery I needed and choosing upgraded implants, I spent $25,000
I was there in March for dental implants. I had $60K (in the US) of work done for 26K. Best dental experience I have ever had. I used Sani Dental.
I’m so glad you had such a great experience as we did! We just wanted people to know they had more options available to them other than just the US 😃

Wow that sounds like quite an ordeal. We are so glad our video could help.
I was in Los Algodones today and I'll be going back there tomorrow. This is an accurate, informative, and helpful video. Well done.
Thanks so much! I was hoping to help people like us who needed options :) hope everything is going well for you down there :)

@@CheesychesbrosHi guys! Much appreciate your video, info & adorable furkid❤ It was hard to decipher name of your chosen dentist. Celsa…? Do you still recommend her? Hope to hear from you.

Great video to watch before you get dental work in Mexico!!
Thank you, you are too kind. You must be one of the sweetest viewers on RUclips!
Everything you said is
TRUE! I went for full implants 2 one week trips 6 months apart. Sani Dental was great.
Thanks @Rayaboomboom ! There are definitely a lot of great dentists in #LosAlgodones Full implants sound like a lot of work!
How much did you pay
You know the cost varies. In my case here they wanted 52k in Algondones it was 22k
Thank you for this video! Has helped relieve so much stress for me.
We are so glad it helped!🥰
We've also stayed in Los Algodones at the California, Hacienda and the one next to Sani (Plaza?) hotels. They've all been good, but Los Algodones is dead in the evening. Also, we've found great deals in Yuma motels with good breakfasts which made them competitive with Mexico.

Hello! What was the cost of your implants? if you don’t mind my asking.
We did not have any implants done, we just had crowns and a bridge.
Super informative and lots of fun!
Thank you @vqlite ! That is what we were hoping for!
Grate video I'm going in August
Thank you! You should be able to get in and out quick in August.
Very nice, well done and lot's of great information. Thanks
Thank you, you seem like a very smart viewer! Please let us know if you have any questions.
Hubby & I are gearing up for a trip down there for dental work.
I enjoyed your video very much. I’m wondering if you have any other tips? We just do not know where to begin. We are driving into the area with a 40 ft fifth wheel.
So much great information and a cute dog!
I have been twice. Sani Dental was awesome! You do not need a passport if you have license with a star on it!🔥
I called ahead and scheduled appts, and hotel all through Sani Dental. I drove in and parked in their garage. Food was great, clean hotel and great care❤️
Thanks Linda, that’s good to know!
We looked at that option. The hotel did look nice.

We just wanted to show you the options you have there
Los Algodones and other cities in the north of Mexico have quality medical services and prices are affordable.
Thanks Edgar!

What about prescription drugs are they avalible ??
Yes we did get a couple of prescriptions filled while we were there. Make sure to declare anything you are taking back.
I went in 2019 in Jan. during the government shutdown. I only went to fill a prescription but I needed an unusual medication that most pharmacies don't stock. A helpful local guide used his own cell phone to call all over town till he found a place with it in stock.
@@BarbinAZ that is so awesome! Of course they did 😂 everyone is so nice there!
Thanks for the vid. Any veterinarians there?
We didn’t notice any but it would not be surprising. It might be difficult to get your pet back and forth.
Thanks to your video I am heading to where you had work done today.. great video
Thank you so much, travel safely, and I hope everything goes very smoothly!
Do you need to have a passport to walk across border coming or going?
Yes - we did when we went, but you may want to check in case anything has changed
Yes...always from US to another country
Greetings from Atlanta, GA would you mind sharing your top four you chose? I am need of 4 implants, 2 fillings, and a crown. My 16 year old wants braces, 9 yr old needs several filling’s.

Hello, how are you? So question was Yuma Az where you parked before you crossed the border !?
Hi there - it was an exit just outside of Yuma. It looks like it’s exit 166 which is the California highway 186 - it is a short road about a mile or two down to a large parking lot right at the border. We parked at the parking lot before walking over each day. We stayed in Yuma.
@@Cheesychesbros thank you so much I was wondering the exact way and that was very helpful 😊
what was your top 4?
Alpine, Simply, Hi-Tech and Sani
Alberta did a great job on my mom.
Thanks, we love good referrals!
Is their pediatric dentistry there?
I’m not sure but I would assume so, I’ve seen videos of people taking the kids down there.
When they take X rays, do they put a lead vest on you? I read an article in Slate where they didn’t - no protection from the radiation. I am definitely interested in going to Los Algodones, great video!
It did seem to depend on which office you went to. Some were more careful about the lead vest than others.
@@Cheesychesbros ok good to know! I can’t wait to go!
with 350 dentists how to choose
Right?! Believe me I had the same question when I started this. Once you start researching four or five will start getting your attention and just start there….the more the better, yay for choices!
@@Cheesychesbros are there any incompetent dentists , I wonder if the Los algodones dentists supervise themselves to control for dentists that have not been trained , is there a Los algodones chamber of commerce section supervising 300 dentists , or is it the true wild west , the fact that there might not be a clearing house function is "interesting " , American physicians are really horrible when it comes to exposing dangerous Dr's , they just shuffle them to another hospital/state

Some of those people on the street will ask if you want a lot more than dental or optical services.
We have no idea
I have a couple quick questions about the dentist in Mexico, would you mind if I sent you a PM/DM? Thank you.
Hey there sure I’m on Facebook or Insta @cheesychesbros 😃
Just a question. What is the failure rate after going and having this procedure? Is it guaranteed to last over 10 years?
I do not know … I would assume each dentist is different so you want to check with whichever dentist you choose
Has the work you had done held up? Any issues? No matter how many people say it's all good, the idea of oral surgery in MX terrifies me - and I've lived and worked in MX.
I completely understand, except the idea of oral surgery scares me in the US just as much. So far yes but it’s only been two months but both of our teeth feel great. I highly recommend meeting with three or four different dentists because there are so many choices and you should be able to find someone that will make you very comfortable
Sani Dental gives a two year warranty on all their work❤️❤️❤️
Do we need a passport to te entry the States?
We did have a passport
Yes, but if you are a U.S. Citizen & you forgot it they don't make a big deal of it. That happened to me a few months ago.
Tip: I smuggled some gummies from the dispensary into Mexico. In me belly! Lol.
So funny! We’ll have to double check the law on that.
Was it 5 days the job done
Yes in fact on Saturday the crown didn’t fit right, our dentist sent it back to be redone on Saturday night and she came in on Sunday to finish it up. Which was amazing.
What dentist did you use? Why didn’t you state that? Why not show us at least an after work photo of what was done?
This was not an advertisement for the dentist we used, although we did like her a lot, we just wanted to show people that you had more than 300 options in one little town. I strongly suggest that everyone do their own research and interview their own dentist to find a good fit for them. We do show in the video in the end the dentist we use, but again we are not trying to promote one dentist we are trying to show that you have options in Los Algodones
@@Cheesychesbros THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AND FOR THE TIME YOU TAkE TO ANSWER EVERYBODY... So many questions, some of US never been there but definitely are planning to go for dental work. MIND THE TERROR...lol . I am tired of waiting MONTHS for an effective appointment, not mentioning that an entire work can take up to a year or more.
@@ELFASHIONISTA that is exactly how I felt, I was so frustrated with the treatment they were trying to give Nate that I had to find other options and this was such a great alternative. And I wanted to make sure everybody knew they have choices don’t be afraid to meet with several dentist. I know it sounds taxing but it isn’t and you can make them all in one day and it’s amazing how comfortable it will make you feel just meeting with all of them.
Major Canadian 6 Mo migration to USA and Mexico
That sounds like fun!
I'm wondering if I should/could just stroll into town with my x-rays and a week off to get some major work done. 10 crowns and maybe an implant. Does this sound like a horrible idea to anyone? Lol. Thanks for the video.
Hi Brian, it’s not a terrible idea at all, it’s pretty much what we did, we decided on a Thursday to take the entire next week off, and on Thursday I was able to get four appointments by the next Tuesday, most of them were able to fit me in that next day on Friday but we weren’t going to be there by then. They are extremely flexible and you have so many choices that if one’s not available - move onto the next, I suggest meeting with a bunch of them as they are all different. But your thought is exactly what my thought was and exactly pretty much what we did with a few days planning, that’s why we ended up with the huge house we didn’t need, but we were saving so much in dental work that’s how I justified the cost😂
Any hotels?
We didn’t stay at a hotel but the casino at the border has one.
The Quechan casino hotel in the USA side is very safe and you are two minutes from the border. Good place to stay if it's your first time. DONT be afraid of going into Mexico you will enjoy it. Park your car on the US side and walk across
Thank you Dirt Digger Tractor, it seemed like there were a lot of good options for lodging.
Thanks for sharing but no Mexico for me. Have a great dentist right in Yuma.
That is awesome you have great dentist - so hard to find! 😃
Dentist info, and are the prices comparable
6:00 advice to other people making videos about Latin American countries: salsa music is nice but is not the typical music for all LatAm.
You are absolutely correct, this was a terrible editing decision and thank you for pointing it out 😃🙏❤️
That’s great you take care of your teeth, but some people take care of their teeth and still have bad genetic genes not everyone is the same
I think if people would take care of their teeth to begin with they wouldn't have problems with them in the first place I never had problems like that with my teeth brush your teeth twice a day with a good electric toothbrush I use Oral B, floss everyday sometimes twice & most of all cut sugar out from your diet & you won't ever have any problems with your teeth. Also I don't have to pay anything for my dentists in the US for cleanings my insurance pays for it but it does help to take care of your teeth too. These dentists in Mexico are making a huge profit off you since they don't deal with insurance like the US does. I love my dentist in the US & I love the fact that my dental insurance covers just about everything I don't even have to pay a copay either.
What is the point of your comment and the need to lecture those of us who were not responsible with our teeth maintenance or do not have the great insurance you have? Im trying to figure out why you felt compelled to comment?
Nate always had the worst teeth in the family.
It’s true, and it hasn’t made me take better care of them. I needed a good inexpensive dentist!
I have been in Los Algodones, Mexico and I like almost everything in that border town, however I would not trust any dentist over there because of healthy concerns. No dental office comply with the health regulations for lack of resources. You are exposed to get Serious illnesses like hepatitis, hiv, tuberculosis etc.
We did not have that experience
Carlos Your crazy dude, check your sources
Thanks for info!
You are welcome!
