What is an All on 4 in Mexico?
The All on 4 procedure provides patients with a full set of teeth using just four dental implants in the jaw. This innovative technique is designed to restore smiles in a way that is safe, affordable, and easy to maintain. At SOTA Dental, we specialize in delivering expert All on 4 treatments to help patients regain confidence in their smiles.
This procedure was created by Professor Paulo Malo and the dental implant brand, Nobel Biocare. By strategically placing four dental implants you can achieve a beautiful smile, proper chewing, and proper nutrition. It is easy to see why this revolutionary procedure quickly took over the market.
This pocedure is also known as the All on x. The x stands for the number of implants, which could be 4, 5, 6, or even 8 implants.
The amount of implants required depends on the structure and health of the patientās bone within their jaw. Different denture materials have different weights, therefore the material used is also a factor to consider.
The Parts of an All on 4
⢠Implants: Implants are little titanium screws that are placed in your jawbone. There are commonly 4 implants in this procedure. They are the anchor points for the denture.
⢠Abutments: Abutments are small metal connectors that are placed between the implants and the denture.Ā
⢠Temporary Denture: A temporary denture is a custom-made prosthesis that patients use while their implants heal and osseointegration happens. The dentist will replace this denture in the final visit with the final prosthesis.
⢠Final Denture: The final denture is made to perfectly fit your mouth and match your bite. The dentist will place this denture at the end of the treatment. It can last a lifetime with proper care.

What are the advantages of an All on 4 procedure?
Currently, a full-mouth restoration can only be done in a few ways. When a patient is missing most of their teeth or perhaps all of them, the All on 4 could be an option.
Before the existence of the All on 4 procedure, dentists would use multiple implants and bridges throughout a patient’s mouth to achieve the same result. With an All on 4, strategically placing implants across your mouth avoids doing an implant for every single missing tooth.
It is created from one solid piece and requires fewer implants, which leads to reduced costs, improved healing time, better bite stability, fewer complications, and certain health benefits.
All patients are different and all dentists have different opinions. That is why you should always check with your dentist what is the best option for you.
Check out our before and after photo gallery to see our patients who had this life-changing procedure.
Am I a candidate for
the All on 4?
In order to be a candidate for the All on 4, you need to be a good candidate for dental implants. Most people that are missing teeth are good candidates.
However, there are a couple of absolute contraindications to keep in mind.
For example, people that have recently suffered a heart attack should avoid getting this surgery.
Also, people that have:
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Bleeding issues
- Biphosphonates therapy
- Radiotherapies for cancer treatment
Having an All on 4 is a big decision. It requires removing all of your teeth. (top or bottom arch). This is why most dentists try to save as many natural teeth as possible. Even if you wanted to have this procedure done on yourself, it is best to let your dentist decide if you are a candidate for the All on 4 or not.
How is the All on 4 procedure
done in Mexico?
The All on 4 procedure is a surgical oral rehabilitation, hence, it will take a couple of visits to the dentist. The whole procedure might last anywhere from 4 to 12 months depending on the caseās complexity. The result is a new life with a beautiful smile.
In the initial visit,our doctors will examine the patientās mouth. They will look at their medical records and take the necessary x-rays and/or CBCT scans. The purpose of this is to have enough information to determine if the patient is a good candidate for the procedure. The doctor will also consider their medical conditions that might require extra steps in the process.
If our doctors find you to be a good candidate for the All on X and you opt to continue with the treatment, then the surgery takes place. Our doctors will first take measurements and impressions of the patient’s mouth.
Next, the patient will be sedated and the remaining teeth removed. The dentist will then cut incisions to expose the jawbone and drill holes with a pilot drill.
The implants will then be placed. In the All on 4 procedure, most of the time the doctors will place the implants in the frontal area at a 90° angle, and the ones in the back area at 45°. This serves two purposes, it gives more stability to
the denture as well as prevents damaging
the nerve that is in the back of the jawbone. The doctor will close the incisions once the implants are in the right position. At this point, a temporary denture will be provided for day-to-day use.
What is a Temporary Denture?
Temporary dentures come in 2 types, fixed or removable. Fixed temporary dentures (or same-day teeth) are provided when all implants have good torque in the bone. Removable ones sit on top of the implants in order to ensure the integrity of the implant. The doctor will decide what is best for any patient, but patients usually prefer fixed teeth because it feels more like their natural teeth.
After the surgery, the patient will need to take extra care of their mouth for a couple of months. They must wait until the osseointegration is complete and their body has accepted the implants. The osseointegration phase can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months.
If you have a genuine interest in learning more about osseointegration, we invite you to click here for further information.
Once the patientās mouth has healed, a second visit will be required to take new measurements and impressions of the mouth. After this, the final denture will be created using the material that you and your doctor chose. Sometimes a third visit is required to test the final prosthesis.
How long is the
All on 4 process in Mexico?
The All on 4 process is different for every person. Treatment times depend on a lot of factors, such as the quality of the patient’s bone, their general health or pre-existing conditions, how well the body accepts the implants, the complexity of the case, etc. You can expect to visit your dentist at least two times.
The healing process can take anywhere between 3 to 6 months depending on everything mentioned above. Take into consideration that extra steps like bone graftsĀ of sinus lifts will make this entire process longer.
We have a great video with Dr. Nestor talking about this procedure. Please watch the video below for an in-depth explanation.
How much does an
All on 4 in Mexico cost?
When you begin to look for information about the cost of an All on 4, you will find that prices are all over the place.
Here is a list of things that could influence the price of an All on 4 in Mexico:
- Implant brand & material

- Surgical fees
- Anesthesia
- Extra procedures

Is the All on 4 a
permanent solution?
A properly done All on 4 can last a very long time with proper care. Brushing, rinsing, cleaning, and general care are important habits for an All on 4 patient. Furthermore, implant longevity depends on several other factors like:
⢠Oral habits – How do you take care of your teeth? Do you follow the oral health guidelines like flossing? Please feel free to explore this link for further information on oral health.
⢠Implant brands – Implants brand manufacturers use different materials which determine the longevity of the product. Some of the best brands in the world are:Ā Straumann –Ā Nobel Biocare –Ā Zimmer Biomet Dental
⢠Implant placement – Is the area around the implant placement healthy?Ā
⢠General health – Are you someone who is sick all the time? Do you take care of your health?
⢠Lifestyle – Do you smoke a lot? Do you drink a lot? Do you play any extreme sports?Ā
⢠Teeth Usage – Do you eat tough foods often?
Always ask your dentist how to take the best care of your prosthesis.
What material options do I have for an All on 4 in Mexico?
There are many different types of materials on the market. Different doctors work with different brands and materials. It is a good idea to ask your dentist for their top choice regarding brands and inquire more about it. At SOTA Dental we use 4 primary materials:
Acrylic – $
- Pros: Easily repairable, affordable, and upgradable.
- Cons: Not as aesthetic or durable as other options, picks up odors if not treated with proper care.
PMMA – $$
- Pros: This material is milled from a single block, making it more consistent and resistant than acrylic.
- Cons: More expensive than acrylic.
Zirconia – $$$
- Pros: One of the strongest and hardest materials on the market. More durable than acrylic and PMMA. Highly aesthetic.
- Cons: Very heavy. More expensive. Could require more implants.
Nano Ceramic – $$$
- Pros: Highly aesthetic. High translucency. Good flexibility. Lightweight. Easily repairable. Similar to natural teeth.
- Cons: More expensive. Not all doctors offer this material.
If you decide to go with one of the cheaper options, you can always upgrade your prosthesis in the future. It is just a matter of taking your denture out, scanning it, and milling the new one. All of our materials are FDA-approved
If you want to know more about the materials we use, please watch the video below.
Does an All on 4
procedure hurt?
Many people have the misconception that this procedure is very painful. The procedure is painless because our doctors use strong local anesthesia or general anesthesia. You will not feel any pain because you will be sedated or highly numbed in your gums. You may however start to feel discomfort and pain once the numbness disappears.Ā
Even though the All on 4 procedure is considered to be safe, it is still a surgery that will generate temporal trauma to your gums and bone. Take into consideration that the recovery time will vary from patient to patient.Ā
Always discuss with your doctor how to take proper care of your prosthesis to avoid future complications.
Our professional team is here to help guide you through the entire process.
What will happen if my All on 4 prosthesis breaks?
Although a well-made prosthesis rarely breaks, it can happen. To prevent this from happening the patient needs to be careful with what they are eating. Wearing a nightguard is also important.
The dentist, in the office, can fix simple fractures of materials like acrylic or nano-ceramic, however, zirconia is more complex to repair.
Consult with your dentist to find the best solution for you.

Life is Fun Again!
Absolutely a wonderful dental studio!! I was skeptical at the idea of coming to Mexico to have the dental work. After much research I decided yes. This facility answered all my questions ⦠over and over. Gabriel was VERY patient with me. Many emails back and forth and here I am – my second trip for the permanent implant teeth. The whole procedure was done with care and very little pain. The first two weeks were the hardest of course but then I was all smiles and proud of my smile again. I canāt thank everyone enough for my personality back ⦠even if I am 72 years old. Life is fun again! If you are still deciding, all I can say is JUST GO FOR IT! You wonāt regret your decision!!
Remarkable Skill, Radiant New Look
My journey with Dr. Kevin was nothing short of remarkable. His skill delivered a radiant new look that exceeds my dreams. Surrounded by a compassionate team, I felt that they were committed to the best possible results and my absolute satisfaction. I’d wholeheartedly endorse your life-changing services to my family, but they’re already blessed with picture-perfect teeth. I look forward to seeing everyone next year. Thank you all again.
Amazing All-on-5/4, Couldn't Be Happier
I recently had extensive work done at this facility ā an All-on-5 on my top arch and an All-on-4 on my bottom arch ā and I couldnāt be happier with the results.
From start to finish, the entire team made the process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Camacho was absolutely amazing to work with: he explained every step clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and his skill and attention to detail really put me at ease throughout such a major procedure.
The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making scheduling and logistics so easy. Antonio also went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and supported, which I truly appreciated.
The clinic itself is modern, spotless, and equipped with the latest technology. I felt completely confident in the care I was receiving. On top of the excellent treatment, the cost was a fraction of what I was quoted in the U.S., without sacrificing quality.
Overall, I canāt recommend SOTA Dental highly enough. If youāre considering implants or major dental work, this is the place to go.
Life-Changing Smile
I came to this clinic during the pandemic and just came back for a check up and cleaning. It was the best decision I made in my life. I am able to smile. Date, market. And overall just have a more fulfilling life. Thank you to the professionalism, kindness and attention to every single detail at your facility. Thank you so much. So appreciative of you.
Smooth Procedure, Helpful Staff
I accompanied my wife with all of her visits. The doctors and all the staff were really helpful. They informed me about all of the procedures and issues that could possibly happen. Also they kept me informed and updated as everything was taking place. They addressed all concerns, and answered all of my questions. Most of them were just small talk, because I spent quite a bit of time in their front office. It was actually a very fun experience with all the staff. I had told everyone I was a dental support person. My wife’s procedure went just as planned, very smooth. She has healed well and is very pleased with her new chompers. I have and will continue to recommend this clinic as a great place for dental work.
Impossible Implants Made Possible
Dr. Diego, Dr. Nester & Dr. Michael, and all of the staff, (including Gabriel!) have been the most professional, caring and even the most āknowledgeableā of ALL the dental offices weāve ever been to and I donāt state this lightly.
These folks did the impossible with my wifeās teeth. We couldnāt find anyone in the US to make implants work for her!
We searched everywhere but the work was too difficult and for those that might attempt it, (with no guarantee) unbelievably expensive.
We werenāt certain about these guys at first as her situation was unique and it would be very, very difficult to achieve what she was needing and wanting.
After multiple surgeries, bone grafting, etc., and Zygomatic implants they were able to establish a foundation that would work well for her and at long last they were completely done!
They were able to create her permanent implant prosthesis in-house and adjusted the coloring to perfection!
They had to fly in specialized surgeons for certain procedures but it was truly remarkable what they were able to achieve in the end!
It literally took years due to COVID and we could not always come when we needed to but after 5 years she finally has the perfect smile that sheās always wanted.
I cannot say enough great things about the doctors and staff at this facility. Thank you all so very much!!!
We have been going to this Dental Studio in Algodones, Mexico for over 5 years now and look forward to our visits each and every time! You wouldnāt think that would be so as no one enjoys having their mouth worked on, but we have such a good time there with everyone when we go that we donāt really mind the two day driving journey from Southeast Texas to get there.
My wife and I both highly recommend them for ANY work, (including the most difficult) dental procedures.
They are āthe best!ā
Greg & Cheryl
Exceeded High Medical Standards
I cannot begin to express how happy and grateful I am for this dental team!! I am so appreciative of everyone that has helped me from the reception team to Dr Nestor and Dr Diego! My procedure was explained in extensive detail including possible complications and risks! I was very nervous traveling from the United States to Mexico to have dental surgery but I was wrong! After talking to the doctors and staff I could not be more at ease with my decision and extremely happy with my progress thus far. I am in the medical field and have very high standards when it come to treatment of patients, cleanliness, and professionalism and this team has lived up to their promises and my expectations. I would highly recommend this team and canāt wait to go back and work with Dr. Diego to perfect my smile and new set of teeth. I have full faith that everything will continue to go smoothly and continue to have rave reviews! Thank you for giving me my dental health back!!!
Professional, Friendly, and Truly Like Family
Excellent service!! Highly recommended. They are attentive, very friendly, and above all, very professional! Now we can smile even more. Thank you so much to the entire staff for your attention. ā¤ļø You made us feel like family. Thank you.
Positive Results After US Surgeons Failed
I’ve been hesitant to finally commit to getting extensive work done.. Needing both top and bottom full arches in my mouth. I started researching Dr. Nestor’s team online…and after never getting positive results from my oral surgeons in California I finally decided to get my work done with them. They were very knowledgeable and professional and it was clear they were up to date on the latest technology. I had my implant surgery and my temps put in and everything went well. I’m very happy with the services they have provided me so far and look forward to continuing my relationship with them for all my dental work in the future.. Highly recommend!
Worth the Trip for Dental Work
My experience with this team exceeded my expectations. From my first conversation with Gabriel to my meeting the other team members and Dr. Nestor. Coming from Colorado to Mexico for dental work was a little nerve racking but I couldn’t have made a better decision coming to this facility. The language barrier is almost non existent and the team do an excellent job at explaining the procedure and options with no pressure. You decide. For anyone nervous about coming to Mexico for dental work, this clinic is top notch and it’s worth the phone call. After dealing with years of mouth pain and failing teeth my smile has never looked this good. Full arch top and bottom and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much Dr. Nestor and the entire team!
Friendly Team, Beautiful Teeth
Everyone is very friendly, the front desk staff all Dr.s and surgeons they all make you feel so welcome. Gabriel the patient coordinator does everything he can to accommodate your schedule. They took great care of me and my teeth are beautiful. Thank you to the entire team!!!
Outstanding Professionalism and Care
Dr. Sforzina,
It is extremely rare when I have the pleasure of writing an email such as this. However, after my recent visit to your facility for dental implants, I could not miss the opportunity to do so. With the current atmosphere of declining service, your organization shines through!
I would like to compliment every one of your staff. They went above and beyond my expectations in all aspects. The professionalism of you, your front desk staff, dental assistants, and the transport driver, Ricardo, was outstanding. Notable was the anesthesiologist’s complete, thorough, and non-rushed explanation of the procedure and care. It is obvious that you place great effort into the comfort and care of your clients.
I look forward to completing the work in November. Rest assured, during this time, I will recommend you to all my associates in need.
Best regards,
Alan Utz
President, Alan Utz & Associates, Inc.
Caring Doctors and Great Restoration
Excellent dental care and Restoration. Drs Diego and Nestor are extremely caring and take the necessary time to fully explain all pertinent details of any care that they provide. I gladly recommend them to anyone in need of dental work.
I frequently receive compliments about my teeth and happily refer whoever is asking to their website.
First Visit, Exceeded Expectations
This marked my inaugural visit to Los Algodones, Mexico for dental treatment. The journey proved challenging and filled with nerves, yet it’s safe to say it won’t be my last. This dental team surpassed all expectations, making the experience truly exceptional. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel instantly at ease. Dr. Kevin Acosta’s professionalism and approachability were commendable, as were those of Dr. Nestor Marquez, the head surgeon. My only suggestion would be to establish a separate area for billing inquiries, as discussing financial matters in the main lobby felt somewhat awkward. Nonetheless, my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team for truly making Los Algodones feel like home. Looking forward to returning soon!
Amazing People and Great Care
Cannot say enough great things about this clinic, or the amazing people that work there!! From the very friendly and helpful front desk staff, to the amazing doctors, you cannot get better care anywhere!! I was fortunate enough to work with Dr. Nester, Dr. Victor and Dr. Kevin. They truly gave me my smile back! The office is very clean and comfortable, itās super convenient to get to, right on the main strip as you cross the border. The prices are very comparable to other dentists in the area, and about $30,000 less than Iād have to pay in the US. They also worked within my budget to get me what I wanted vs. what I thought my budget could get me. You wonāt regret choosing them as your dental office.
Surpassed All Expectations
If you are thinking of having dental implant surgery in Los Algodones, Mexico, because you have heard that you can get cheap implants there, you are going to be severely surprised. Nothing is cheap or shoddy about the implants, the surgery, or the quality of service you will receive; all are of the highest quality.
I started my search for a dental provider for implants after having my upper teeth extracted over a year ago. I had lived in Phoenix, Arizona, before moving to Austin, Texas, and had general dental services in Los Algodones, so using Mexican dentists was not a concern. After searching the internet, I came across the website and YouTube videos of Dr Nestor in Los Algodones and began a dialogue with Gabriel, their ambassador. Gabriel was very patient and forthcoming in his communications, putting me at ease. Jumping ahead a bit, there were no surprises; the procedures’ scheduling and the services’ cost were 100 percent accurate, which, when you are coming from far away to work with strangers, can be a cause for anxiety. The process with Gabriel continued for several months while I did my due diligence. I explored using a dentist in Nuevo Laredo, which was closer to my home in Austin, Texas, but in the end, my experience with the ease and safety of Los Algodones won out. I also explored the idea of using a local oral surgeon, but found them far too expensive, and nowhere near as open and patient in their customer service.
Everything about my experience with this dental clinic was top-notch. I began my procedure with Dr. Kevin, who was patient and made sure that I understood everything completely. He then introduced me to Michael, who would perform the surgery. Michael also took his time and made sure that all issues that might cause me concern were covered. The day of the surgery came and went, and it was as comfortable as one could expect when having six implants placed and temporary teeth installed. Follow-up visits the next day went smoothly, and Leo even serenaded me during one of my last examinations. It was a delightful experience listening to a soft, pleasant voice while Dr. Michael finished his examinations.
There is more that I could say, and I did not mention everyone who made my stay as successful as I could have hoped for. If you need dental implants, I highly recommend this dental team and all their wonderful people.
Best Decision for Dental Restoration
I believe that using this facility for my āAll on Xā dental restoration was one of the best decisions that I have made. I did quite a bit of research before deciding to have them perform my dental restoration. I met with two local dentists before electing to travel for the dental work. I also spent countless hours researching the available providers and dental options on the internet. My wife and I have both struggled with years of partial restorations and we were both getting tired of replacing crowns, failing root canals and prosthetics that depended on the health of adjacent teeth. All of the staff at this facility were wonderful to deal with, which I could not say about the local clinics that we consulted. Since my wife and I were both having the procedure done, I was able to discuss our cases with 4 of the dentists at the clinic and I would not hesitate to have ANY of them perform ANY necessary procedure in my mouth. Additionally, we found Los Algodones to be a very charming village and we looked forward to crossing the border to do a little shopping and eating during our visits. We are both very grateful that we selected this team for our care.
Stress-Free, Affordable, and Amazing Care
Canāt say enough good things about this clinic! The staff is super professional, thereās never any type of wait, and they even provided rides for me when I needed help getting there which was a huge plus. Nadia did almost all of my work and sheās amazing ā skilled, friendly, and made everything way easier than I expected. Highly recommend if you want great dental care without the stress and at a fraction of the price youāll pay in the states.
Life-Changing All On 4 Experience
I have had issues with my teeth since I was a teenager. It honestly became too costly to try and keep up as I got older. That resulted in poor teeth that eventually were pulled, one by one. As I got older, I had more difficulty eating as many of my teeth were gone. I started reviewing All On 4 implants in the states and was dumbfounded by the cost. My wife suggested looking in Mexico. I stumbled across this SOTA Dental clinic. After reading all positive reviews, I made the appointment. Dr. Trejo, Antonio, and the staff were very welcoming and fun to be around! I have had dental anxiety and never once experienced anxiety in their office. After 3 appointments, I now have a full set of teeth and can eat whatever I want! I can also smile now without being embarrassed or ashamed! It truly has been a life changing experience. Honestly, if you are considering Mexico for your dental needs, you need to look at the wonderful staff and doctors at SOTA! You wonāt be disappointed!
True Reviews, 20 Stars!
The reviews are true! 20 stars from this guy – 5 stars for each of the 4 days I spent with this charming and thoughtful staff. I had All-On-6 for uppers and lowers and I couldn’t have asked for better care. Dr. Kevin explained everything in detail to me and my wife and even though it still is a process I don’t think I could’ve put my trust in better hands. This team truly handles patients with care and grace. So glad to have found them.
No More Retainer Drama
My son had invisialign completed in US and when he lost his night retainer they wanted an extra $500 for one!! I was at this clinic for an unrelated issue and saw they did invisalign, I asked about the retainer and their amazing staff said it was so not the drama and it would cost less than $100 for the same product! Love them and I’ll be coming to them for all my dental needs from now on
Truly Happy and Satisfied Patients
My wife and I are truly very happy and satisfied. Dr. Juan is an excellent surgeon, and the rest of the staff treated us exceptionally well, including Karlo, who assisted us with transportation. Everyone is very kind and professional.
Dentists Who Really Care
I am very pleased with my first experience at this clinic. The staff is amazing, knowledgeable and kind. These dentists really care about their clients!
Supportive and Professional Care
Working with this team has been an experience I will never forget. Throughout my journey receiving dental care at their clinic, Iāve had the opportunity to get to know many of their amazing team members. Working with Gabriel developing my treatment plan was a pleasure, meeting him upon my first visit was a reassuring and comfortable experience. I was hesitant to go out of the states to receive dental care, due to how far from home it is. But choosing to make this journey was a good decision. This journey is not over and my treatment has not been as I expected. But the Doctors and staff have been available by phone when I needed them, and supportive through my process. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with such dedicated, caring, professional individuals. Each time I visit, I am treated with kindness and respect. If you have questions about receiving treatment at this dental practice, reach out to Gabriel. They will help you make the best decisions to meet your individual treatment needs.
Professional, Friendly, Like Family
Excellent service!! Highly recommended. They are attentive, very friendly, and above all, very professional! Now we can smile even more. Thank you so much to the entire staff for your attention. ā¤ļø You made us feel like family. Thank you.
All-on-4 Trip Success
These guys are great!! They know their stuff and help you with the process.
Travelling to another country to get all on 4 top and bottom is a big change for anyone. This team made it easy every step of the way!!
Arches Done: Pleased with Quality
I really appreciate the work that this team completed for me. I had both arches done all-on-4 on the bottom and all-on-6 on the top. My first visit was during the first week of July 2024, and my most recent visit was during the last week of January 2025.
For my last visit, most of the work was done by Dr. Hernandez. I was very pleased with the results and process as well. He was careful about explaining each step and I never felt rushed. He took his time and it was clear that he was very concerned about the quality of the work. He was able to address my input regarding my desire for the back to be a bit more “flat.” When I expressed an interest in the “engineering” aspects, he took a minute or two to show me the routing machine used to shape the teeth. Very interesting and nice to be treated that way. I’ll say it this way….I was treated significantly better by Doctor Hernandez than at my local clinic here in central Minnesota.
Dr. Acosta was able to extract my last molar, and that went very well too. No real pain during or after. And I was treated with the same care as above.
I will say that I am still getting used to the new teeth…it has only been a little over two weeks. Although my implants and arches will never be like my original teeth, I am very pleased with how well they function and certainly the appearance is first rate. No problems with eating anything. For someone in my station in life this work was a significant expense, but I am very glad I had the work done and very glad that I made the choice to go with this particular clinic. There were other less expensive options in Los Algodones, but again, I am very glad that I chose them.
Beyond a 5-Star Rating
BEST, MOST PROFESSIONAL, POLITE, WELL-MANNERED, TALENTED, PRECISE, FAMILY-ORIENTED…does not come close to describing just how wonderful this team is to their patients. I’ve been a patient here for 2 years and I’ll remain a patient forever. The workmanship and professionalism is beyond any 5* rating, because everyone is just that great. Hard to believe in the way our world can be these days, but TRUST ME, this dental office is your ace in the hole, diamond grade. Not only did I become a patient, so did my family. We are from North Carolina and traveling to Los Algodones to see our dental team is worth every penny. I am forever grateful to my doctors for giving me back my life. They made me, Jeniene again. No more pain and suffering from medicine damage to my teeth. Now I can go places again and never feel embarrassed again. I am BACK!!! Thank you to the whole entire team. The Nicholson’s love you all so much.
Quality and Affordable Dental Work
100/10 Recommend this clinic. They are there to help every step of the way and afterwards. I started my journey with them in early 2023 and just got my finals in November 2023. They are so informative and work with you no matter what. I had a terrible migraine one day during an appointment and they ordered me a smoothie and let me rest on the couch. I mean YOU CANNOT BEAT THE SERVICE AND DEDICATION.
I would and have recommended them to anybody looking to get quality and affordable dental work done by a team of experienced and professional individuals!
THANK YOU FOR MY SMILE!!
Best Decision: All on 4 Procedure
I decided to have All on 4 procedure done at this clinic and it was the best decision I made by selecting them. The SOTA Dental team, dentists, assistants and front desk admins gave me an exceptional service. Professional service and state of the art medical equipment. Now I have great smile thanks to everyone one at the SOTA!!!
Seamless Experience, Lasting Results
We made the decision to seek restorative dental care in Los Algodones after the recommendations of a few friends. The hard part is picking the right dentist amongst 300+ dentists in the area. After doing some research, Dr. Diego’s Team seemed like the best option as their dentists teach other dentists around the world and they are using the latest technology (they also come up under SOTA Dental as that is the international component they work with) and they provided excellent customer service.
From the planning phase which took several months, we worked closely with Gabriel who was absolutely amazing. He provided detailed explanations, provided information on traveling here, and was transparent in both cost and various procedures. He made me feel very comfortable with making the journey from California and knowing what to expect. Once here, the staff has been excellent. They provided a very detailed consultation plan that explained all the various stages of care and restoration. They also provided many different scenarios that could occur so we would not be surprised and could plan accordingly. They used amazing technology from the fastest CT scan machine Iāve ever seen to creating 3D scans of the teeth to fully see any potential issues or problems. They really accommodate and plan for a rapid schedule as most patients are visitors and are here for a limited time. They truly go above and beyond to assist you in your stay including travel to and from the office, and helping you get back across the border. Additionally, no doctor in the states EVER provided such comprehensive care and assessment. We learned things that no doctor ever told us and we are extremely grateful to have taken care of this now before things got worse.
Iāve seen happy customers leave and many that have shared their satisfaction with this team. Just view their page, watch the videos, and reach out to them for a seamless experience. Getting dental work is stressful but these guys make it so much easier and we are so pleased with the results. I would 100% recommend them to anyone trying to get meaningful and lasting results.
Restored My Confidence
This Dental Team has been such a blessing to me. In the past I was terrified of dentist. Dr’;s Nestor and Diego have had so much patience and my fear is almost gone. They’ve done beautiful work and restored my confidence. Everyone is very professional.
Love My All-on-Four Smile!
We have been coming to this family clinic since 2019. I had an all-on-four top and bottom and absolutely love my smile! Dr. Nestor and Dr. Diego as well as the staff at are very welcoming and treat everyone like family. We come back every year for my annual maintenance. If youāre looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend them.
Mom is Happy With Her New Teeth
I am very pleased with the service and care we received from the whole team at SOTA Dental! From the start Antonio was very communicative regarding the entire procedure for all-on-X implants for my mom. We chose to drive down from LA and this team were able to provide us with a ride from the hotel to office everyday. The entire process was smooth sailing and very professional on their end. Everyone who played a part in the procedure was wonderful. My mom is so happy with her new teeth and I am very glad I chose this office to do the procedure for her. Thank you Dr. Trejo and the entire staff!
Unforgettable, Life-Changing Service
Okay, Iām not typically a person who leaves reviews, but this is going to be a long, gushy one so bear with me. This team dearly deserves it. From the beginning, even just through initial communication with Alvaro, Caroline and Gabriel, everything was stellar. Admittedly, I was nervous traveling to Mexico and more so of walking over the border by myself. At no time, however, did I feel unsafe. There were many people with wares to sell but a simple āNo, graciasā was well respected.
From the moment I stepped into their office the next day there was not one person that didnāt ooze kindness, efficiency and empathy. I was very ashamed of my teeth and that feeling was quickly assuaged by their assurance, the comprehensive exam, CT scan and ultimately several choices in treatment for me. A āwe can helpā attitude all the way around. I initially met with Dr. Nestor and then Dr. Diego came in too. I didnāt know beforehand that they were brothers but that information too, eased my mind – a family business. After we decided what action we would take, the lovely Itza performed a cleaning of my bottom teeth (the top would be an āall onā procedure) and some prep work for the next day, surgery day. I left armed with knowledge of what would take place the next day, and filled prescriptions with instructions ready for after surgery.
On surgery day I met with the anesthesiologist and she too, was very comforting and knowledgeable. Everything that would occur that day was explained again and we were off to the races. Itās called conscious sedation so youāre technically out but can respond to requests (open wider, etc). Unfortunately, you can also wake yourself up with a giant snore, which I did. So embarrassing. After I woke up after anesthesia and they were going to fix the temporary prosthetic, it was discovered that one of my back molars had started compensating for one missing above and it was messing up my bite. At the last minute, that tooth had to go too. Dr. Santiago numbed me locally and took it and it didnāt hurt at all. Then they affixed the temporary prosthetic (which I really couldnāt stop staring at) and I was left to rest a bit and sent home with gauze for the most recently pulled tooth, directions for care and several protein shakes to drink. Before that however, I complained of a headache after surgery (Iām very prone to them) and the sweetest tech whoās name I canāt recall – SO sorry – I was still a little loopy – sat and massaged my temples and head for almost a half an hour to try to help. I canāt even express how much that meant to me in a number of ways. After getting back to my hotel I had some trouble with that last tooth continuing to bleed which turned out to be mostly my fault. I ran out of gauze and was trying to stop it with Kleenex and some got stuck in there so it couldnāt clot and continued to bleed. I reached out to the clinic and donāt you know Dr. Santiago was at my door armed with supplies at 9:30 pm and didnāt leave until it stopped. Never ever in a gazillion years would I have received that level of care in the states.
The next day was for adjustments of the prosthetic and to make sure my bite was correct. Dr. Santiago did not stop until it was absolutely perfect. The pride they all took in their work was admirable.
I write this one week after my surgery and I am still just thrilled. All my friends are astounded that these are temporary. I will heal and go back for the permanent prosthetic after 3 months. The pic Iāll attach I took right after crossing back over the border to the states. Iāll update this review after everything is finished.
As an aside, the first day I was there I was waiting in the lobby with a couple other people. One was a man whose wife was having her uppers and lowers done. They were from Mexico and he knows a director at the Dental University there and asked her for a referral. In all of Mexico (and in Los Algodones alone there are over 300 dentists offices and 1,000 dentists) she gave him two. One was in Tijuana and the other was this facility. More confirmation of my decision.
More Than a Clinic, They're Family
I started dental work at this clinic a few months ago. This group of people have become family. I am a unique individual when it comes to things not working (medications and anathesia) and Dr Nestor and Dr Diego worked with me until we figured it out. My uppers were finished but I had an implant that didn’t take and had to be removed. Dr Nestor really went ouy of his way to take care of this for me. I had to stay overnight in the hospital and my patient care coordinator Gabriel stayed with me when he didn’t have to do that. Everyone at the clinic has been very nice and always a smile to see you. I am now healing from surgery number 2. I didn’t realize we were gonna have to stay and the next day I was so worried about my animals. I went to see about them and feed them. They all have asked me about my kitties. Who remebers that kind if thing. Family does. That is what they are to me now. A family. I wouldn’t let anyone else do work on my mouth. SOTA Dental is tops in my book. I’ve suggested my mom go see them. They treated me like I was the only patient they had, but many waiting to see them. I am very fortunate to have found this group. Thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do.
Better Treatment, Less Cost Than the US
I was very nervous traveling alone to another country and not being sure what to expect from the clinic when I arrived. The prices for procedures were so affordable, and I felt like it was too good to be true. Well, it is true, and safe and good, and all my fears were in my own imagination. The entire staff at the clinic was so professional, so kind and understanding, and so skilled at their work. My medical experiences at this clinic were better than I have ever had in the US. I am returning for my third year checkups now, and I always recommend this clinic to anyone I ever speak to who needs dental work. They are above and beyond US facilities.They work with every patient’s individual needs, and their rates are more fair than any in the US. Thank goodness I found this place because I couldn’t afford to treat my injuries in the USA, and I got better treatment for less cost than I would have gotten here. This place deserves to be recognized for their excellence.
Wonderful All-on-X Experience
I have had a wonderful experience at Doctor Michael’s facility. I came to them after around two years of researching many different dentist in several countries. The entire experience was outstanding. The dentist far exceeded my expectations of their knowledge and expertise. Dr. Michael is very detail oriented and works on every small detail to ensure the final outcome is better than you could ever expect. I came in hoping I would be a candidate for the all on x for both arches. I was pleased that I was a candidate for the all on x. I ended up with 6 post on the lower and 5 on the upper. These teeth have a very firm foundation. The final set of teeth look so amazing due to the great work of Dr. Michael and the entire team at the clinic. Every visit, I received exceptional care from the doctors, dental assistants and the reception staff. The reception staff would continuously ensure that you were comfortable and had everything you needed while waiting between procedures and exams.Thank you all.
Highly Skilled Cosmetic Dentistry Artists
SOTA Dental walked me through the entire process as they connected me to an amazing clinic in their network and made it all very, very easy. Everyone speaks fluent English and there were no surprises. They are professional. I was thrilled with the clinic and the people that did my work, who are highly educated and very skilled cosmetic dentistry artists in a office nicer and more up to date than many I have been in here in the US. I get compliments on my beautiful teeth all the time. I am not the most trusting person, so if I say you can trust SOTA to guide you well, I mean it.
Zero Pain, Perfect Zirconia Teeth
Like so many others, I experienced a certain apprehension in travelling outside the country for dental work, however, the extensive work needed to be done was not financially feasible in the U.S.
I am convinced that I was spiritually led to this particular Dental Studio where I was treated to a level of compassion, kindness and professionalism that I had never experienced previously.
Upon arriving in Los Algodones, Mexico, the first day they completed a series of cd scans, bone density scans, x-rays and photographs. Upon having their entire team view the results, they collaborated on a plan which they immediately started implementing.
The following morning, I was greeted by the anesthesiologist who explained the procedure. Several hours later I awoke to a complete set of temporary upper teeth on implants.
Three months later I returned to finalize the bite and the fitting for my permanent zirconia teeth that came several days later.
The entire journey from start to finish was about 3.5 months and through-out the entire time I experienced absolutely no pain.
I have since touted my incredible experience with the wonderful dentists and staff at this facility to all my family and friends. Several have already visited and are experiencing the same level of tenderness and love that I received.
Best Dentist, Amazing Value
I have been coming here for the past 2 years. Was told in the states that I needed $65,000 worth of work done, here the work and price was 1/4. They are very caring and nice! Absolute best Dentist I have ever been to in my life. I refer everyone I know to come here.
Exceeded Highest Expectations
My experience with Dr. Nestor, Dr. Diego and the entire staff at this clinic exceeded even my highest expectations. I will never go anywhere else for dental work again!
Quality Work That Lasts
Always a great experience at this clinic, employees are very kind and the work it quality it lasts a long time. My teeth are the healthiest theyāve been after going to this dental facility.
New Standard for Medical Practice
My experience with this facility was nothing less than transformative. Full arch all-on-x top & bottom has given me back my smile – and part of me that had been absent for several years. As a practice, the dentists, technicians and administration elevate ‘team’ into ‘family’. Indeed, they set a new, much higher standard for what a medical practice can be.
Great Results, Found My Permanent Dentist
I had a full restoration done at this facility and I couldn’t be happier! After researching many Dentists, I kept coming back to them. From my initial phone call with them, I knew they were who I wanted to see. From the front desk,techs, and Dentists they were all professional, caring and very kind! My teeth turned out GREAT, and I now would never go anywhere else! Thanks to everyone!!
Most Skilled Dentist I Have Ever Had
David, thank you so much for arranging and coordinating my dental services in Cancun. I was so impressed with your whole team. The surgeon was by far the smartest and most skilled dentist I have ever had. The office staff were so friendly, helpful and coordinated each office visit precisely so I had minimal wait time both at the office and for transportation. The design and look of my temporary dentures is beautiful and way better that I thought possible. I so enjoyed Karlo, he was exceptionally professional, helpful, easy to talk to, and in the time we spent traveling back and forth to the office, I feel I made a real good friend. And, of course, the price was unbelievable, a savings of more than half what it would have cost me in the United States, and that includes a week vacation in beautiful Cancun, flight and all other expenses. In my conversations with other patients in your waiting room, I heard story after story of the same thing I experienced. I will be recommending your services to everyone I run accross as well as my friends and my family.
Best Dental Experience Ever
This is the best dental experience I’ve ever had. After 54 years, I finally have great teeth. Get your passport and get here. You will not be disappointed. This family Dental team is superb.
Fast, Efficient, and Affordable
I would highly recommend that if you are considering dental implants that you give them a call. The process was fast an efficient and the quote I received was the price I paid after completion. The price was 1/3 the cost of the procedure quoted to me in the States. You will find the staff to be highly trained and very accommodating! They have a great concierge service and they book everything for you and provide a car and driver for all office visits! I am enjoying my new smile and enjoying being able to eat regular foods again without pain!!!
Incredible Smile, Confidence Restored
I love this team. I spent months consulting different people around the world before choosing them, and one of the biggest reasons I did so was that Dr. Sforzina really walked me through my x-rays and offered me clearly-explained options and didn’t just try to talk me into the most expensive things.
The office is pristine, elegant, and as modern and well-equipped as they come. The staff speaks both Spanish and English. They also provide you with a driver to and from the airport and your appointments, and he’s one of the loveliest people I have ever met.
I have a lot of trauma and anxiety around my teeth – even unmedicated childbirth of a large baby didn’t hurt as much as some of the dental stuff I’ve dealt with in my life. I can be a challenging patient because of all the emotion that comes up for me in the dentist’s chair, and I cry easily, especially around this. While I am sure they were all glad when I was done and gone, Dr. Sforzina and staff were very tolerant, kind and patient with me during my visits.
I asked him to make me beautiful, and gave me an incredible smile that has made me look years younger, and since I now smile all the time, I do indeed feel beautiful. My confidence, as well as my digestive health, have been restored.
I absolutely recommend them 100%.
Caring, Intelligent Team
I 100% recommend this dental studio.
You will never find a more caring and intelligent team of doctors and assistance. From the administration to the medical staff, everyone is literally a gem of a human. My experiences going to Los algodones from Colorado we’re always positive and uplifting. If you are looking for significant dental work where you will not be treated like another number and instead treated like family, this is the place for you.
