"I recently had 6 zirconia implants and 5 root canal extractions done at Odontomedik in Tijuana. The clinic is state of art and superior to any dental office I've recently used in the US. I went to the clinic at the suggestion of the Gerson Institute as I was looking for a biological dental office and trust Gerson. Great experience. The professionals were well credentialed and all the work went smoothly. I am 70 so implants can be tricky as your jaw at that age generally needs some placet rich plasma added. As a result there needs to be a 3 or 4 month period between the implant procedure and the final add of the crowns. Both procedures went very smoothly and with VERY little pain. Couldn't be happier with the results. Also, when questions arise both before the work and well after all was paid for the clinic responds very timely and usually within the same day. As most know dental work is expensive and particularly biological dental work. I found the clinic well priced and the whole experience so satisfying that I will use them whenever I can going forward."
