Worst part of it was the commute which is no ones fault (I live on the east coast, i took a red eye back). They had someone pick me up, which was a relief because I’d never been to San Diego or Mexico before. Had to wait a bit for the doc, but there was ZERO pain during and after my root canal. No infection after the fact and no complaints from my reg doc when I got my permanent crown put on.…

. Payment was quick and easy, and infinitely cheaper than if I’d gotten the root canal done back home. Everyone was super nice too!!! Getting back into the US was a bit of a chore, but I was warned about the lines beforehand, so no surprises there. I totally think it’s worth it to pay for the private transfer. All in all, a wonderful experience. I’ve referred this place to everyone I know. They don’t believe me at first, but the flights/treatment at Dr Mexico/Samaritan Dental is the same quality as in the US and is much cheaper!

Thank you for trusting Samaritan Dental, It's always good to know that a patient is fully satisfied with our services, We work hard to provide the best dental care.
Excellent experience! I was a little nervous about going to a dentist in TJ, but I did a bunch of research before deciding on Samaritan Dental. I was super impressed! First off, they want to make sure you get to their office safely, so they email you very detailed instructions and send a driver to pick you up at the border. Their office is clean and professional- everyone speaks English. Also, the…

dentist was even more knowledgeable than my regular dentist. She wasn't trying to to push unnecessary procedures and gave me some wonderful advice for dental health. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Response from the owner Edited 6 years agoThank you Susan, See you soon! We are here to give you the best attention.
I previously had $10,000 in mediocre dental work at another Tijuana dentist. Everything I experienced at Samaritan Dental was first class. Very professional work, great fit, looks great.

I have enjoyed my experience with Samaritan Dental. It is well-worth the extra time it takes to get to their clean and well-equipped office in Tijuana. I really appreciate that they pick me up at the border and drive me to the clinic. But most of all, their dental expertise is top notch.

Thank you for your vote of confidence.
I am a Nurse from chicago and did a lot of research before deciding on Samaritan dental. I have never had better service in my life. Everyone was professional and very nice. Everything was flawless. I needed everything from root canals, bone grafts, wisdom teeth pulled, gum trimming, implants (will be done in 4 months after grafts heal) and a cosmetic retainer. Samaritan dental's Dr. Elizabeth…

Orozco (AMAZING DENTIST!!), did a thorough assessment by taking plenty X-rays and gave me a plan. The next day a root canal specialist, Dr. Laticia Meza (AMAZING!!) was ready at 10am, did her job with no pain. A gum specialist whose name I did not get came in and did his work and additional work for no extra charge. Dr. Elizabeth and another Dr did my bone grafts and removals. I had extensive dental problems that would have cost me a fortune in Chicago. My entire visit after 4 different dentists, 8hrs on the chair cost me $2600😳😳. I still cant believe it!!I am smiling like I have not done in years. I flew into San Diego, uber ride from the city to the border a an easy 20min. Crossing the border is an easy walk through. Samaritan dental had a car waiting for me on the other side that zipped me to the office and back. I cant wait to go back in November for my inplants. I am recommending this group to everyone.

My mom and dad went here, the first time my mom went a wisdom tooth was extracted and she was ok. So, she decided to go 2 weeks later, this time to extract 2 more wisdom teeth, but she said the girl who extracted was very young and had a hard time with the extraction. My mom almost died if it would not be for home remedies she knows to treat infected area. She believes her jaw bone was broken it's…

been at least a month and she still gets huge pain, her tongue and throat were probably burned as well since she can see how bad it looks, she couldn't even open her mouth to insert a straw. It was bad. Seems like this place may have practicing dentist. Just becareful where you go.

We are sorry for what you perceived was not a good experience. But there can be more factors involved than what the patient knows. Although your dentist looks young, she actually has more than 9 years of experience. We do guarantee our … More

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you had a great experience
Had a nose job done, “Rhinoplasty”, The plastic surgeon they use is incredible!! Can’t believe the difference. I am very happy with the way my new nose looks. Best decision I have ever made.

It is very satisfying to us when we see the difference in the appearance of our patients and then to hear back from them that they were happy with the results. Improving your appearance, also improves your self esteem. We are glad to be of service.
I've been a client of Sam Dental since 2010, and I've always had a good experience. Most recently (February 2026) I had a root canal done, they replaced a broken crown, and I got a dental implant. They did excellent work, as usual. I appreciate that they're always able to get me in quickly. I called them on Friday about my dental problems, and by Tuesday I was sitting in the dental chair. They…

provide convenient pick up and drop off at the border (shout out to Oscar!), and the staff are extremely helpful, competent and friendly. I used to travel to them from Sacramento to get my dental work done, and I've since moved to Utah. But even with the travel expenses factored in, it's a great deal. Sam Dental has been a lifesaver to me, and I'm so grateful to them.
The owners are good friends of mine—which is why I went to this clinic. I did not go to A) receive a discount or B) help my friends. I went there because I trust them. I know they are the type of people to buy the best equipment and supplies and treat their staff the way they would like to be treated. I have had dental work done in the past that I regretted, which is why I decided to go to someone…

e I knew would do the right thing. And I'm glad I did. Yesterday, Dr. Hugo worked on my teeth for a couple of hours. Today I am feeling great. I have two appointments to go...and I'm actually looking forward to them. Who says that about going to the dentist?

Thanks Ben, for your great review. We appreciate you choosing our dental clinic, and are glad you were happy with the treatments and results.
I was told by a friend that you can get dental work done at a fraction of the cost in Tijuana. I was skeptical about having a dentist from another country working inside my mouth but these dentist and specialists are great. I felt there was more concern for my well-being than quite a few dentist here in California. Offices are super clean and they have everything a dentist office here in the…

states have. I had several root canals, caps and a bridge done and they were able to do all this without any pain. Amazing to me I had neglected and put off dental care for too long. They are all wonderful people at samaritan dental even Sylvia who schedules your appointments and makes it all happen is great. I would recommend this place to anyone including my wife who is next to have some work done. Thanks to everyone at Samaritan

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your kind remarks. Our staff takes a lot of pride in giving the best dental care possible to our patients. I believe that Dr Juncal was your main dentist, and I know she has a lot of compassion for her patients and does everything she can to take care of you. Thanks for choosing Samaritan/Dr Mexico dental clinic. We will look forward to having your wife come, and having the priviledge of treating her dental needs.
The people and the service was professional. Thank you guys for everything. Osama and Sara

This was an incredible experience, I got quoted for a bunch of dental work in Utah and it was over $10,000 but here at Samaritan Dental they said they could do it for $3,000! I saved a ton of money just driving down and then back to Utah …

I first used Samaritan for fillings in 2018 on the recommendation of a friend. No problems with the fillings since. Life brought me back to southern California in 2022 and I needed some dental work so I contacted Silvia and she was happy to accommodate me. I am not an American so the decision to cross the border is an easy one. The US healthcare system is a total scam and of course dentistry is no…

o different. Every person I have dealt with has been polite, professional and knowledgable. I have been to 2 different facilities, both immaculate and orderly. I have no problems with any treatments so far, all done for about 40% of what it would have cost here in the US I would highly recommend this organisation

Thanks Indya. We are so glad that you came, and are pleased everything went well for you. Thanks for choosing Samaritan dental clinic.
I was born missing almost all of my adult teeth. After numerous quotes and everything being insanely unaffordable I started researching cross boarder dental clinics. I came across Samaritan dental. Started with a consultation. They have a driver that you call right before your cross the boarder. He picks you up. He is very friendly and a great driver, especially with the Tiajuana traffic. I met…

Dr. Elizabeth told her my story, what I was looking for, what I have been through and she drew me up a quote. She is beyond professional and passionate about the work she does. She had some dental students with her as well following my case who were all very sweet. The clinic is spotless, area safe and all staff very friendly, my coordinator Silvia and Marlene were amazing and answered any questions I had any time via email. I have just completed my treatment plan that included crown lengthening, implants x4, veneers, and bridges. It was a total of 5 visits including the initial consult. Needless to say I have a brand new smile that I have only dreamed of most of my life. Samaritan made it possible. Thank you to all of the staff and especially Dr. Elizabeth for everything! I hope this review helps others who were nervous about Tiajuana and out of Country dental work, like I was originally. I came from eastern Canada and it was all so worth it. The city is full of culture and great people!

I had THE BEST experience at Samaritan Dental. From them picking me up from where I was staying to the personal attention I received from the dentist herself, I couldn't be happier with my time spent there. My partial or flipper, completed my smile and the cost was a fraction of what a dentist in Texas quoted me. So I'm smiling more and very happy with my experience. Thank you Samaritan…

Went to this clinic to get immediate use dentures for upcoming extraction surgery. Found the transportation arrangements to be excellent also. The time and care taken to fit and make the final dentures was amazing. Had the surgery yesterday, they dentures went in well. Today I took them out o rinse and replaced with no isss at all Thank you all for supporting my need .
