Your Appointment, Planned Around Your Border Crossing
We consider border wait times when scheduling your appointment to help you plan your visit and make your trip back to the United States as smooth as possible.
Know Your Treatment Plan Before You Travel
We plan your dental appointments to help you complete as much treatment as possible during each visit to Tijuana. Before you begin, we'll explain how many visits you'll need and what treatments are planned for each one.
Reviewed without traveling
Photographs and messages resolve most questions between visits. A trip is arranged when a chair is genuinely needed.
Easy Access from the Border
Zona Río is approximately 5 minutes from the border crossing, depending on traffic.
Driving into Tijuana is usually more predictable than crossing back into the United States, where wait times can vary. That’s why we consider border wait times when scheduling your appointment.
On your first visit, we can help you understand your options, including the best time to cross, which lane to use, and whether it’s easier to drive across or park and walk into Mexico.
Choose the Best Way to Cross the Border
Both options work, depending on your treatment and personal needs.
Driving into Mexico: A convenient option if you’re bringing someone with you or expect to feel numb or sore after your dental procedure.
Walking across the border: You can park on the U.S. side and walk into Tijuana, avoiding the vehicle line when returning to the United States. Transportation is available on the Mexican side to bring you to the clinic.
We recommend choosing your crossing option before your appointment so you can plan your visit with less stress.

Frequently asked
Is Zona Río a safe part of the city?
It is the business and financial district, and it is where the professional practices, the corporate offices and the hotels are. The route from the crossing is direct, and directions with parking recommendations are sent with your appointment.
What if something needs adjusting after I have driven home?
Most questions after treatment are resolved with photographs and a message. Where an adjustment genuinely needs a chair, it is scheduled around your next crossing rather than requiring an extra one.
Do I need a passport?
A valid passport or passport card is required to re-enter the United States. SENTRI and Ready Lanes shorten the northbound wait considerably and are worth having if you expect several trips.
Request your consultation
Say where in the county you are coming from when you write. It changes which crossing and which appointment time make sense for you, and that is worth settling before the first trip.
