ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Four Decades of Cross-Border Dental Care
Dental Alvarez has been serving US and Canadian patients from its Tijuana clinic since 1980 — over 40 years of continuous practice that makes it one of the most established dental destinations in the border corridor. The clinic operates as a full multi-specialty practice treating adults and children, with an 11-specialist team covering every major dental discipline under one roof.
What sets Dental Alvarez apart from most Tijuana dental clinics is its in-house technology infrastructure: a CAD-CAM laboratory running Ceramill Matron and Amann Girrbach systems, CBCT 3D imaging, CEREC Omnicam digital impressions, and DIAGNOcam caries detection. This allows the clinic to handle complex, multi-stage implant and restoration cases with the kind of diagnostic and fabrication capability normally found only in larger hospital settings.
The clinic holds memberships in the Consejo Mexicano de Periodoncia, the International Team for Implantology, the American Association of Endodontists, and the Academy of Osseointegration — and accepts US PPO insurance from Delta, Cigna, United, Lincoln Financial, and MetLife.
In-House CAD-CAM Laboratory
Dental Alvarez fabricates crowns, veneers, and restorations in-house using Ceramill Matron and Amann Girrbach CAD-CAM systems.
Advanced Diagnostics
CBCT 3D imaging, CEREC Omnicam digital impressions, panoramic X-rays, and DIAGNOcam caries detection give the clinical team the full diagnostic picture.
US PPO Insurance Accepted
The clinic accepts Delta Dental, Cigna, United Healthcare, Lincoln Financial, and MetLife PPO plans.
Full Cross-Border Support
Free shuttle from the border, Medical Fast Pass for driving patients, bilingual staff, airport and hotel pickup.
