Excellent dentist...worth every penny...cheapest you will find, the work done is fantastic and the most important key is the work done is pain free (and that is the truth - I had 2 root canals done and no pain at all )which is what my major concern was....if you need a dentist and they are located in Algodones don't hesitate to call Clia Dental...you will not be sorry....thank you Clia Dental...
Clia Dental in Los Algodones has the most amazing dental services I have ever experienced and I will never go see another dentist/periodontist. Dr. Clarisa Luken owns the practice. The welcome you receive from the staff and Dr. Luken is simply amazing. I am the worst dental patient ever when it comes to dental work but Dr. Luken really took a tremendous amount of time to get me calm and…

simply make me feel at ease. I have had 9 extractions, bone grafting and 6 implants done. I've had appts with Dr. Luken since April 8, 2025 pretty much on a monthly basis, and I live in San Diego. The 3.5 hr drive each way is well worth the trip. Dr. Luken is a professional in every sence of the word. I have a few appts to get my crowns put in and I have to say that I feel very comfortable because Dr. Luken takes the time I need to get through a procedure, her patience level is very high. The staff is constantly checking in on you as well. It's an incredible family practice with a very calming suite of treatment rooms. Dr. Luken's son is also an experinced dentist, he intervened in a procedure I needed to have done and Dr. Luken observed the entire time. With regards to cost, it's unbeaten to anything we'd get in the US. I highly recommend Dr. Lunkens' services to ALL, you will never want to visit another dental office. I had another appt yesterday at Clia Dental, it had been 2+ months since my last appointment. When we arrived, we were greeted by Dr. Luken who warmly welcomed me back with a big hug and thanked me for the review I had done. I felt at ease immediately when she introduced me to the 2 specialists my appointment was going to be with, reassuring me that I was going to be in very good hands. The first was with Dr.Angel, a root canal specialist who explained what he'd be doing and to simply raise my hand if I felt any discomfort. I never raised my hand since everything went so smoothly. 30 minutes into the appointment, I felt my hand being touched and realized it was Dr. Luken, I squeezed her hand and gave her a thumbs up. The fact that Dr. Luken came into the room to see how I was doing really reassured me. She simply cares above and beyond about her patients! Further into the procedure she returned to observe the procedure Dr. Carlos was doing and looked into my mouth. I was very pleased with how gentle Dr. Carlos was. When he told me "you're going to feel pressure", I felt none 🙂 Yes, there are many dental places in Los Algodones but none better than Clia Dental. The entire staff is exceptional. Mabel who is their receptionist is invaluable as well. Prior to leaving yesterday, I heard her on the phone with a new patient who had just arrived to Los Algodones and needed assistance getting to Clia Dental. Mabel offered to go meet them wherever they were to get them to Clia Dental. Talk about SERVICE!!! My next appointment is tomorrow to have my crowns fitted. I'm excited and have no apprehension whatsoever because I know I couldn't be in better hands. I will continue to let all my friends in the US know about Clia Dental.

I recently traveled to Los Algodones for a gum graft procedure with Dr. Luken, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From start to finish, everything went incredibly smoothly. Dr. Luken was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the procedure in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. The surgery itself went better than I expected, and the care I received…

d throughout the process was excellent. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made a big difference when undergoing a dental procedure away from home. They checked in often to make sure I was comfortable and well cared for. My healing process has gone very well, and I’m extremely pleased with the results so far. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Luken and her team to anyone considering periodontal treatment in Los Algodones.

We are so pleased to hear that your surgery exceeded your expectations and that you are happy with the results. We wish you continued success with your recovery!
My son-in-law recommended this place. His family has used them for years. I was amazed at how smooth and efficient they were. I had a loose implant crown and they were able to remove it and reinstall it in about 30 minutes. The price was more than fair. They work as a team and I had the best experience i have ever had at the dentist.

We look forward to seeing you and the rest of the family again!
Amazing. Highly recommend. Professional, competent, friendly, bright and modern office.
Whenever you need a dentist, I highly recommend Clia Dental in Los Algodones! They did a bone graft, implant and crown that I’m very happy with. I traveled here twice for all of the work involved and I still paid less than half what it would cost in the US. The do wonderful work!

Having tried a couple of dentists here in Los algadones I was finally recommended cLIA DENTAL. What a great experience, care of patient, precautions to keeping treatments clean and following current dental practices was all attended to by Dr. Clairise Luken. With out a appointment and due to a cancellation I was able to get started with my bridge repair/replacement. It continues today with…

I came to CLIA Dental because Dr. Clarisa Luken was recommended to me. I arrived with a serious gum problem due to poor work at another clinic. The care I received made me feel like I was in the best hands. Dr. Carlos, Dr. Clarisa, and the entire team are top-notch professionals. All the procedures I underwent were performed with great care, and I felt confident every step of the way. I definitely…

recommend them 100%. Today, I'm happy with my healthy gums and beautiful smile. I will always be grateful to the entire CLIA Dental team. Dr. Clarisa is a great person and a true professional. From the first appointment, you can feel her interest in solving the patient's problem, and she always does it professionally and, above all, with compassion and humanity. Just like her entire team.
I recently visited CLIA dental practice with my son for our routine exam and cleaning. Once again I was blown away by the exceptional care we received. From the moment we stepped into the office, we were greeted warmly by the friendly lady up front, setting the tone for a comfortable and welcoming experience. She took great care of us during our cleanings, demonstrating expertise throughout the…

Beginning with Mable at the CLIA dental office, then moving on to Dr Carlos and Dr Luken, my many implant and crown procedures were done expediently and professionally. I highly recommend making the trip to Los Algodones and the CLIA office for high quality procedures. Susan Burns

She was also able to accomplish my goal, fixed dentures on top. I had 9 inplants teeth removed, cleared infection and 2 bone grafs. Put me in temp fixed dentures, while grafs are healing. Best dental experience i've really ever had and I…

I 1st came to this dentist with my husband, as he was going to get 2 dental implants. I had them check out a cracked tooth & ended up with 2 root canals & impressions for temporary crowns, which I got the next day. All staff was great, from the receptionist, Mable, to both dentists Dr. Carlos Janay Salcedo, DDS that did my work & Dr. Clarisa Luken, DDS (she did my husbands implants). I highly…

I discovered Clia dental while I was walking in Los Algodones, after having visited 3 other dental clinics. I saw the clinic with all the plants climbing on the outside wall and found it very beautiful so I decided to go in and ask for an examination of my teeth and my needed tretments. I instantly felt confortable and welcome. The clinic is small and very personal (unlike well known others).…

All the staff attended my examination and the whole team discussed my case and my needs. I decided right away to get my multiple treatments at Clia and never regretted it. I so far made two trips to the clinic ( I live in Canada so it was a big decision for me to go to Los Algodones) and I have to go back next October to finish the treatments. So far I got 4 root canals, a bone graf, 2 implants, 8 veneers and 5 crowns. I did not feel any pain at all since Dr Clarissa put me on antibiotics, pain killers and anti-inflammatory right from the start. She is soo gentle and sweet, I would go to no other clinic than hers. They are now my family. They treated me with professionalism, answered all my questions and took care of me with a lot of respect and kindness. Their rates are very good and they make themselves available for all the treatments needed during a given time period. They even sing during the treatments, which comfort me a lot! I cannot wait to go back to the clinic to get my final treatments and have a beautiful smile!

Hi Dr Clarisa & Dr Carlos! Christine Boyd here! I love these doctors & their caring, personalized & professional practice! I've been seeing them and referring friends & family to them for ~5 years.

about people. It honestly feels like visiting family. Unfortunately I've required some intense procedures-1 was due to an infection I got from failed treatment at the above mentioned group-SD. Thankfully i found CLIA! Like many folks, I really dislike going for dental work. My entire life I had severe stress & anxiety everytime & I'm almost 60! It was so bad I avoided going for many years to my detriment. I was seriously considering finding a practice that offered putting me to sleep for treatment. UNTIL CLIA that is! From my first phone contact with Dr Clarisa I felt completely comfortable & relaxed. That's true today & I know it will continue into the future, as long as they are here. The folks there create a calming, peaceful & trustful environment. They provide 3 totally private treatment rooms so you are assured the least possible exposure to germs from other patients (unlike SD where the chairs were practically on top of each other-ick!) I highly recommend giving your trust to CLIA Dental. No, I am not affiliated, related or anything like that lol 😆! It is simply a miracle for me to be able to visit and be treated at a dental facility without any stress or panic attacks at all.. PRIOR to CLIA the physical & mental stress caused by dental treatment created such major anxiety that even Xanax could not calm. I think my body just burns through it. Dr Clarisa & Dr Carlos are my surgeon & endodontist for life! I also consider them my friends! I trust them completely & that is HUGE! A big hug & thank you to all of you!

The best Experience I have ever had. They cared about me more than anything. Over what I wanted. They want to make sure I heal first before they proceed. That means the most. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Jeff, thank you so much for visiting us and your kind words. We’re beyond happy to attend your needs and always welcome.
Dr. Luken and her team are an amazing bunch of people. I scoured the internet unsure if I should proceed with a Mexico based dentist but all doubt has subsided. She and her team have 100% been communicative and forthcoming with all aspects of care. When you arrive in Los Algodones you will bombarded with dentist options that seem a bit sketchy. That sketchy vibe is nonexistent at CLIA Dental.…

I have been coming to Clia Dental with my husband for several months while he has been getting extensive work done. It was finally time for me to have a cleaning and fillings done. Now mind you, this filling/cavity diagnosis was based on a DIFFERENT dentist in Algodones. After my x-rays were complete, Clia Dental's diagnosis was that I had no cavities and I didn't even need a cleaning. I commend…
