About the clinicThe implant clinic built for border patients
Dental Implant Center & Family Care sits on the third floor of a medical plaza on Paseo de los Héroes, Zona Río — ten minutes from the San Ysidro crossing and a world away from U.S. dental pricing.
Remove the leap of faith, keep the savings
Most Americans with a big dental quote face two options: pay it, or gamble on a clinic they found online. We built a third: the same implant systems and digital planning used north of the border, an itemized written quote before you travel, and a public 5.0-star record you can check yourself — at Tijuana prices.
- Every treatment plan in writing before you book travel
- One specialist owns your case from scan to final crown
- 77 public Google reviews, 5.0 average — read them all
Dr. Waldo — oral implantologist
Implantology is the dental specialty devoted entirely to implants. Dr. Waldo's postgraduate training (Implantología Oral) covers both the surgery and the prosthetic teeth that go on top — so the person who plans your case is the person who places it and the person who finishes it.
Planned on screen before it happens in your mouth
Cases are planned digitally: scans instead of goopy impressions, implant positions decided on screen, and a plan you can actually see at your virtual consultation. Fewer surprises in the chair means fewer surprises on the bill.
We don't disappear after the crown goes in
Plans are built around your mouth, your budget and your travel dates — not a package menu.
Questions the week after? Message us like you'd text a friend — and actually hear back.
For San Diego patients a follow-up is a drive, not a flight. Same-week checkups are realistic.
Cleanings, crowns and kids' checkups too — many families cross together.
