Dentistry

Bone Graft € 172 - € 221
For dental implants to be successful, the jawbone must have enough bone to support them. You may not have enough bone because of tooth loss from periodontal (gum) disease, injury or trauma, or a developmental defect. If your jaw is too short (up and down), too narrow (side to side), or both, you will need a procedure to add bone to your jaw before implants can be placed. Bone augmentation is a term that is used to describe a variety of procedures that are used to "build" bone so that dental implants can be placed. These procedures typically involve grafting (adding) bone or bonelike materials to the jaw, and waiting for the grafted material to fuse with the existing bone over several months.
 
Bridges € 442 - € 589
Guaranteed for 1 years.The most common way to replace missing teeth is to have a bridge placed. A false tooth is made and attached to two porcelain crowns made for the natural teeth that are on either side of the space where the tooth is missing. These crowns and the false tooth are one piece and are fixed over the natural teeth ~ unlike a denture, bridges are not removable. A bridge will not only help with appearance and function but can also allow other teeth to last longer by reducing the stress put on them when a tooth or teeth are missing. Bridges can be used to replace teeth that are missing from any place in your mouth as long as the teeth that would be used to anchor the bridge are healthy and strong.

Crown € 123 - € 245
Guaranteed for 1 years.A crown (or cap) is a covering made to restore a tooth back to health & function. When teeth are damaged from decay, weak from large old fillings, worn or broken down, crowns can be used to give you back healthy functional teeth. Crowns can be made out of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or full gold. An examination will determine which option will be the best for you.

Guaranteed for 1 years.Seal the tooth better. Bond the remaining tooth together which results in a stronger tooth. Cause less of your natural tooth structure to be removed when being placed. Look Great! Tooth colored fillings help restore strength and function while giving your teeth a healthy and natural appearance.
 
Implants Dentist Consultation
 
 
Inlay or Onlay € 137 - € 152
Guaranteed for 1 years.More conservative than a crown, inlays and onlays are two methods of restoring normal tooth structure after decay or other damage. Inlays and onlays are known as indirect fillings because unlike a standard filling that is done in a dentist's office, both are made in a laboratory and cemented or bonded to the surface of the tooth during a second visit to the dentist. And unlike standard fillings, inlays and onlays do not weaken the tooth structure, but actually strengthens it. After the procedure the tooth can bear up to 50 - 75% more chewing force.
 
Restorative Dentist Consultation
 
 
Root Canals € 98 - € 148
Guaranteed for 1 years.A root canal (also called endodontic treatment) is the cleaning out of the nerve of a tooth and replacing it with a material that seals the inside of the root so infection cannot get back in . Endodontic therapy may be necessary to save your natural tooth if the pulp tissue is irreversibly damaged by bacteria associated with decay, very deep fillings, tooth fracture or trauma, or periodontal disease.
 
Teeth Whitening € 74 - € 113
Guaranteed for 1 years.Zoom Whitening System
 
Veneers € 168 - € 186
Guaranteed for 1 years.A healthy attractive smile is an important facet of life. It has an impact on your health, self-esteem, and relationships both professional and personal. You may not like the shape or color of your teeth. Your concern might be gaps or missing teeth. Your gum line might be unusual. Each individual that comes to see us has unique concerns Dr. Baker uses the artistry of smile design and porcelain veneers or lumineers to design the perfect smile just for you.

"Absolutely satisfied"

David, from US, 01 Nov 09
Were you pleased with the treatment?

6 crowns with bridges. 2 root canals, 2 extractions and cleaning for about $2,700. The equipments they use are pretty much the samething that you see in the states. Nice office in the nice business district neighborhood. The doctor doesn't have any assistants while they treat their patients but they get their job done right. Because of all the bad medias and people talk about this city of Tijuana, some people think it's crazy to have their teeth fixed down there. Even if I have lots of extra money to spend on dentists in U.S., I would still go down there. Thanks Dr. Shirley. I've never tried other dentists there but I'm sure you are one of the best in town.

Would you recommend the clinic?

Yes, I've already recommended few.

Would you return for further treatment?

Absolutely.

Robert Kuhl, from US, 12 Mar 09
Were you pleased with the treatment?

I am very pleased with the treatment and results. The price was directly in line with what I had been quoted and thousands of $$ cheaper than what I could have had done in Delaware.

Would you recommend the clinic?

Dr. Baker was so good and very diligent. Ernesto was also very good in providing transportation.

Would you return for further treatment?

The treatment is very similar to dental work that I had received in the states and the quality was equal. If my family has upcoming major dental work, I would return without any worry or reservation whatsoever.

Arthur Campos, from US, 11 Mar 09
Were you pleased with the treatment?

I am very nervous and anxious about dental work but must admit, Dr Shirley Baker and her staff made me very comfortable. I almost took a cat nap while having two root canals done.I will no longer put my dental work into the hands of any corporate U.S. dentist again. I am proud to say Dr. Baker is my dentist now and encourage anyone reading this to contact her office for an appointment right away. Who would of thought I would find my smile in tj.

Would you recommend the clinic?

absolutely!!

Would you return for further treatment?

Already planning the next quadron.

Joe Antoni, from US, 04 Mar 09
Were you pleased with the treatment?

The price was very resonable. I had a five bridge unit placement for $1500. It would of cost me a little over $5000 in the states. I also had several teeth that were cleaned out and filled and two crowns. The grand total for everything was $2800. I recived two seperate estimates in the states, for all the work needed and both times I recived an estimat of around $8000 to $10000 in total and told that I should put my money towards that investment. Dr. Baker did quality care with the same materials as used in the states. Also, pain control has always been an issue with me. Dr. Baker gave the medication just exactly where it was needed. From all the Dentist that I had in the states in comparison to this Dentist, this Dentist did a better job in keeping me pain free.

Would you recommend the clinic?

The Dentist, secretary and the cab driver (the cab driver drives people from the border and back), all spoke English. All were kind and courtious.

Would you return for further treatment?

I will return for treatment. It will cost me way less than in the states, you get quality care, the place is clean, and you get a ride from and to the border.

Evelyn Vollmer, from US, 23 Feb 09
Were you pleased with the treatment?

Dr. Shirley Baker cares about her work, the comfort of her patients, and explains very well what she is doing and what the options are for the best possible outcome. I did not have any personal recommendations for a good dentist in Tijuana, Mexico so I had to reply on the information I found on the internet. It was important to me that I found someone that I could trust especially since I was traveling there alone as a woman, I felt good about going to a woman dentist. The most important point that made my decision was the good reviews I found in connection with her on this site.

Would you recommend the clinic?

After many visits to her now I highly recommend Dr. Shirley Baker for dental care.

Would you return for further treatment?

My next follow up appointment is next month

I already have appointments lined up for my family members.

I will be back for all further treatment, and for whitening.

I didn't end up using either of the dentists that you represent because my primary care Dr. referred me to a biological dentist. Both Dental World and Shirley Baker did there best to contact me to schedule an appt. and were very professional.

"Her prices are exactly what she tells you"

John Fremont, from US, 16 May 08
Were you pleased with the treatment?

I would highly recommend Dr. Shirley Baker for any dental work you need to have done! Dr. Baker saw me, this past July 2007. I had three teeth capped, my teeth cleaned and whitened at her TJ office. She is fluent in English, her office is a professional office with sterilized equipment, it is modern, and her staff is all very helpful. Entering in to TJ is safe as is exiting by foot. As you walk across the border, if you are on foot, she will have a car waiting for you at the McDonalds which takes you to her dental office. When your appointment is over, you are returned to McDonalds to exit Mexico back into San Diego. Her prices are exactly what she tells you each service will be, nothing is hidden and sprung on you later. Dr. Baker is warm, gracious, and very talented. She makes sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. What I loved the most was being able to watch movies while the work went on. She has some sort of eyeglasses, which you are able to see what looks like big, screen version of the movie. When I did a big belly laugh, they stopped work until I had simmered down and opened my mouth wide again. Not only did I see Dr. Baker, but also so did my 85-year-old Mother. She had 8 teeth pulled, her teeth cleaned and upper and lower partials made by Dr. Baker which we were able to get while we were down there and not month or so later like we have happen here at home. Just to have Moms eight teeth pulled here was going to be $1200 and the upper and lower partials would have been an additional 1,800. It was not nearly that price, and she was kind and gentle with my Mom, gave her antibiotics and painkillers for her extensive work, so she could be more comfortable. Dr. Baker then called each day after the procedures.

"I am very pleased with the work "

Wanda , from US, 16 May 08
Were you pleased with the treatment?

I am 64 - at least for the moment. I had a couple of root canals, posts and crowns done. I addition, I had implants. During the course of my treatment, I never had communication difficulties. Dr. Baker's English is great and so is the English of her staff. My procedures took the better part of five months. That's because it takes time for the implants to properly meld with the bone. I am very pleased with the work and service provided by Dr. Baker. I would not hesitate to go back to her again, although I currently don't require further work. I have no idea about your expectations and how particular you may or may not be. Mexico is a different environment from the desert. You'll probably see some equipment, like the lamp that they use to light up your mouth, with some flaking paint. However, everything I saw was properly sterilized and I felt very comfortable and not only do I have no complaints. I am pleased with the results and the service.
