Dental Alvarez opened in 1980 as a multi-specialty dentistry clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. The facility has 11 specialized doctors across four departments. Most patients come from the United States and Canada.
Dental Specialties and Digital Workflows
The clinic uses advanced digital workflows to coordinate diagnosis and treatment. Each surgical case is digitally planned before the procedure begins. This improves predictability. The medical team includes specialists in several disciplines:
- General and preventive dentistry led by Dr. Horacio Zarrabal
- Pediatric dentistry for babies, children, and teenagers
- Periodontal care for gum disease management
- Endodontics focused on root canal treatments
- Restorative dentistry and prosthodontics
- Oral and maxillofacial surgery for dental implants
Dr. Alejandro Sánchez handles restorative cases. He has over nine years of experience with CAD-CAM technology.
Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry
Dental Alvarez offers Digital Smile Design (DSD) to create aesthetic treatment plans. This process uses high-resolution digital scans and 3D photographs to visualize results. For smile enhancements, the clinic provides Ultra-Thin E.max Porcelain Veneers and various crown options:
- Zirconia and all-porcelain crowns
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns
- Gold and titanium crowns
- Complete reconstructions for broken fragments
These restorations are made in a same-building dental laboratory. This allows dentists and technicians to coordinate directly, so treatment timelines are shorter.
Implantology and Periodontal Care
The clinic performs All-on-4® dental implants for full-arch tooth replacement using four implants. All-on-6 and All-on-X options are available for patients needing additional support. Every implant case undergoes CBCT scan evaluation and intraoral scanning for precise surgical placement.
Periodontal care focuses on treating periodontitis to prevent tooth loss. The team performs deep cleaning, bone regeneration, and gum graft surgery. Dr. Raymundo Ledesma leads these treatments to stabilize gum health before or during restorative work.
Advanced Diagnostic and Laboratory Technology
Dental Alvarez operates an in-house lab with Amann Girrbach and Ceramill Matron CAD/CAM systems. These technologies support metal-free crown and bridge production. The diagnostic department features specialized equipment:
- Cone Beam CT (CBCT) for 3D bone and nerve imaging
- CEREC Omnicam for digital impressions and diagnostic models
- Panoramic and periapical X-rays
- DIAGNOcam for non-invasive caries detection
3D CT scans let doctors check bone density and condition before implant surgery.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides logistics support for patients traveling from the U.S. and Canada. Bilingual staff members communicate in English and Spanish to assist with treatment plans. A Medical Fast Pass reduces travel time for patients who drive across the border. A free shuttle runs between the border and the clinic. The facility accepts U.S. PPO insurance and offers waiting areas with WiFi and TV.
