If i could give more STARS I would, this was a super smooth and easy experience. DDS Clarissa Luken sure knows how to give her clients a great experience and a top notch service. Everyone in Clia Dental is super nice and I will definitely recommend to anyone needing a dentist.

Excellent service! Dr. Clarisa and Dr. Carlos are both highly experienced, always answering questions and finding the best possible solution. The facilities are very hygienic, which inspires confidence, and the entire team is very friendly! The prices seem reasonable and fair. I highly recommend them!

Dr. Luken is an excellent professional! I appreciate her patience in treating me after a bad experience with another dentist. Her patience, kindness, and professionalism helped me regain my confidence. I thank her and her team for being there for us. God bless them!

Dr. Clarissa Luken and Dr. Carlos who works with her, are both amazing! Both are excellent practitioners and clear communicators. They bring heart and artistry to every mouth they work with! We have enjoyed our experience here at Clia Dental and recommend them wholeheartedly!

I have been receiving dental care from Clia Dental for eight years and am always impressed by the work, the staff, professional offices, and up to date technology. The staff speaks English perfectly and I would recommend checking out the practice for a consultation via their US number. They are easy to find on Calle (street) 2, two blocks from the border in Algodones, (BC, Mexico) near Yuma, AZ.…

Dr. Clarisa Luken has created beautiful, calming suite of treatment rooms, everything modern and professional. Dra. Luken has increased her expertise each time I have visited, via progressive and advanced educational programs in reconstruction, implants, and new periodontal gum disease treatments, much less invasive than prior radical treatments I've seen elsewhere. Dr. Luken has always been amazing, always increasing her expertise. I have two implants and a crown from Clia. The crown dislodged after eight years and it was replaced today in the practice by kind and patient Dr. Carlos. I have a lot of fear of going in for dental, even when I love the doctors. Dr. Carlos was gentle and put me at ease throughout the process, made it easy and the work feels perfect, like I have my mouth again. There are many options, I would recommend making an appointment with Clia Dental for a consultation to see what they offer and how the practice feels. I didn't think to take photos. There is another review with great pictures of the offices, take a look at theirs. All I got was the sign on Calle 2. The GPS was off - it's in the big building on the corner painted bright blue on top, orange on bottom.

So happy I found these guys , they fixed my dental work that my Canadian dentist would not warranty.

I've been driving 3 hrs one way to see Dr Luken for 4 years now. She and her staff are outstanding and her dental equipment is "state of the art." I have recommended her to all my Arizona friends. Los Algodones is very safe. Often I will spend the night here if I'm getting a crown and I don't hesitate to walk around town after dark to eat good Mexican food.

Doug, thank you so much for being our patient throughout all this time. We hope to keep seeing you and your friends and giving you the best we can!

Carlos messed up my cap. First the temporary kept coming off. Then the permanent one will have to be replaced. The bite is wrong. There's a food trap that is very annoying. I have to floss the food out each time I eat because the gap for the cap is wrong. And there is another gap where the cap ends where bacteria will accumulate. That is just one reason why the permanent cap it will need to…

be replaced soon. Note, that Clia did surgery was done to cut into gum. Never had that happen before with putting a cap on a tooth. Total price $500. Now will have to pay a dentist to fix this. I do not rcommend this place at all. My tooth still hurts off and on. I thought I could trust al the 5 star reviews and the reputation of the woman dentist. Instead I got another dentist, Carlos, and I know that those reviews are suspicious. I wonder if the other reviews could be from friends and family since Carlos obviously did not know what he was doing. This was done in March, 2022. Note: They can blame me all they want, but if they offered to fix the problem, would you go back after this to the same dentist? No way.

Rebecca, we’re open to adjust anything that’s causing you pain or discomfort. It’s been over a year since we offered to come back and have this sorted out, and you decided not to come back, you just called. Your appointment was in February 2022. You said you don’t believe in root canals, nor x-rays images. Every treatment is guaranteed in CLIA Dental. Yours is too.

My husband and I love Clia Dental. We’ve been coming here for 9 months. The work has been exceptional. The staff is professional and knowledgeable. Dr Clia has taken very good care of us. We will definitely be returning next year.

Price is quite a bit less than my dentist in California. Everyone is very professional and friendly... they do a great job. I love Dr Carlos. Thank you

We went for a wisdom tooth extraction on Saturday. I hadn't planned on going to this place, but after being turned away from the other places we tried, I decided to go to Clia Dental, and it was the best decision we made. It was quick, and the work was excellent. I thought I would be in a lot of pain afterward, but it turned out to be just a slight discomfort that disappeared with ibuprofen. The…

place is very nice and clean. The receptionist explained everything to me in detail, and I asked him a lot of questions. I will definitely continue going there for my future treatments. Thank you.

This place has an amazing service and staff! For sure the best dental clinic in town! Clarisa and Carlos were so nice, helpful and professional. Definitely coming back!

After having an awful mess made of my front tooth by an Arizona dentist, I was seeking 8 or 10 crowns on the top. This dentist repaired my front tooth to perfection. No crowns (which I was actually dreading) were needed. Thanks from the bottom of my mouth doctor Clarisa and doctor Carlos .

Amazing work, very professional. Very efficient. Highly recommend for all dental needs.

With so many dentists to choose from I was very lucky to have Clia Dental referred to me from reliable sources. I began my search last year from the internet calling dentists in TJ and Mexicali and felt strongly I was being hustled and lost faith in the thriving business. Fortunately, I was directed to Clia Dental and I spoke with Jose, aka 'Cool Cat' and had a relaxed and detailed conversation of…

my needs, concerns and options. Price was out of this world compared to my local dentist here in Northern Ca. We set up an appt and jose referred me to several hotel options which were short walking distance to their office. I was being consulted and given options that fit my budget by both Dr Luken, and Dr Carlos, as their friendly staff who I believe were Angel and Carmen looked on. Upon beginning my procedures there was soft Mexican music playing in the background with both dentists and their assistants humming and or singing along which made for a quite relaxing atmosphere which I have never before experienced before in a dentist office. The waiting room and offices were clean and more modern than I was expecting, and Dr Carlos seemed to be extremely matriculas during his procedure of preparing my front teeth for crowns, while Dr Luken painlessly gave me an implant in the rear. Two weeks later I returned for my permanent front crowns and just returned home two days ago. I refer to my new crowns as a new beautiful sports car in my driveway compared to my old rusty beater I drove for so long. The small town of Los Algodones is clean, and I found the people there to be very respectful and courteous. California comfort suites, easy walking distance, was a clean hotel with incredible food and beverages for remarkably inexpensive prices. There are many dentists to choose from in Los Algodones, but I would seriously consider putting Clia Dentistry first on my list of contacts.

Thank you Dr. Clarissa, I came here from California. I was going to another dental office I found on the internet. The locals said her office was where they all go for a specalist. I got a laser gums deep cleaning. it's been almost a week, & every thing is great so far, so good. It was such a smooth process, minimal pain, & prices, as well as service TOP NOTCH. thank you! I'll be back again…

So I drove from Northern California to originally go to an appointment at Sani dental that is right across the street from CLIA dental but after looking in depth at SANI’S dental reviews from customers , I was swayed into looking at CLIA dental from one of the reviews originally on SANI’S review page praising DR. Lukken and I’m so glad I did!!! I can’t say anything bad about SANI dental cuz as I…

said I didn’t end up going there however I have nothing but good things to say about CLIA, first off the atmosphere was amazing, the staff were extremely nice and friendly, everywhere u looked was spotless! The equipment was new and up to date!! Digital X-rays that they put up on a big flat screen so that way u can see them real well while they explain to u in depth what is wrong. I’ve never liked going to the dentist but this experience changed my view on that, it’s was fast, it was pleasant and it was extremely affordable! Also Jose at the front desk is the man! He makes sure u understand everything and he’s really nice, I was worried about the language barrier but Jose put that worrie to rest in the first 10 minutes of being there! Only down side, and I mean the ONLY downside was waiting to walk across the border to get back, if u can get In there earlier it’s better in a matter of an hour the line was twice as long, try and cross back before 12 if possible!!! Trust I’m CLIA, they won’t let u down! They also have a nice cafe right next door that u can grab something to eat or whoever ur with can sit next to the fountain while there waiting.

John Choate via Google 5.0 out of 5
Highest quality, friendly staff, resealable price. I would recommend CLIA to anyone I've had extensive work done and it has been the best experience. Dr. Luken is frist rate and Dr. Carlos is without a doubt the best dentist I've ever been to. Jose has helped me tremendously throughout the process explaining everything in detail. If I could I would give this team six stars. Grecia and Veronica are…

My wife and I both ventured from Lake Havasu City to Los Algodones to explore the Dental options. We had seen an ad in our local "White Sheet" for CLIA Dental. It caught my eye because of the Gum Repair technique that she performs. We made an appointment and headed south. Easy parking and a short walk across the border to there easy to find office next to the Catholic Church. We arrived at…

the office and were pleasantly surprised. The office has better equipment and is much more modern than we are use to. The entire experience for both of us was fantastic. We both got a cleaning and evaluation. Since our first visit a couple of years ago they built a New Office that is better than any office I have been to here in Arizona. Ultra Modern Design and Equipment, Super Clean and Sanitary, Awesome Design and Decor and Very Comfortable. My wife was the first patient in the new office...an honor for us! Some of the things we love about CLIA Dental: Staff is Very Professional and Polite in every way. They are open Year Round. Others close for the summer. Saturday appointments available. Better Cleaning than we have received in years. We love the X-Ray technique and being able to see it on the big screen immediately. Very Gentle techniques. Never feel rushed or hurried. Dr Luken's Credentials and Multiple Certifications are the best and she is a perfectionist which you can tell from when you walk in the door until you walk out. Dr Carlos is equally as much of a perfectionist as well. They both have their specialties and we like them both. Truly Full Service Dental all in one office. Dr Luken or Dr Carlos do the procedure the whole way through. You are not handed off to an assistant to finish. Never an up-sell as with other places. We have been there several times and have had Cleanings, Fillings, and an Implant. Never a language barrier. Our last visit was the first of July among the Covid crisis, their attention to cleanliness was better than we have here a Arizona and truly respected and appreciated. I will be getting my Gums done with her "Pinhole" technique soon. Also a Special Thank You to Jose who coordinates and follows through with us on work and appointments.
