Border Smiles is exceptional. I have been a patient of Deni for many years and followed her from her previous practice. The service is first class the equipment is the latest state of the art technology. Dr Camacho is incredible, compassionate, gentle and kind. If you are a nervous patient I'd highly recommend Border Smiles. I never thought I'd be looking forward to a dental visit but it's such a relaxing and rewarding experience with Deni and her team.

I have been seeing Deny Nunez at Border Smiles, as well as her previous location, for 8 years. Personally I have had 11 implants and a number of crowns done. I have never had such great dental care in my life. She and her wonderful team of doctors and assistants are as skillful as they are compassionate. It’s not just with me, I see them giving every client the same care and treatment. I have brought or sent over a dozen of my friends and family here. I’m currently here with a friend getting a full mouth restoration. It has been a very long week for him. At the end of the day, we will cross the border and he will start a whole new life with a huge smile! I give them a 5-Star only because they don’t have a sixth.

Words can’t express how grateful I am that I found this place. Deni has been heaven sent from day one. She makes sure you understand every procedure and its cost. The dentist Camacho is amazing, after a day full of much needed work I left with zero pain. I can’t thank the team at Border Smiles enough. I highly recommend.

An Odyssey. Lies, pain, and unprofessionalism. Pretty office, but be prepared to pay double the going rate. If they mess up and hit a nerve, they won't take responsibility. They swore up and down my insurance would cover, when there was no chance they would. Even lied about submitting it. One dentist will upsell you Botox for TMJ, and then another will scold you for getting it when you have a reaction. Send you to get specialized scans, then not even look at them. Never have I felt so handled in my life, and I'm from L.A. Do NOT recommend, Baby!

Dr. Camacho explains EVERYTHING so you know you are in good hands. Everybody at the clinic takes good care of you. I wish I would've known about Border Smiles a long time ago, so dental work wouldn't be so traumatic.
Adriana Martínez
The truth is, arriving at Border Smiles is like finding incredible care from the entire staff. You can feel that they genuinely care about your problem from the moment you arrive at reception. They not only tell you what you need, but they also explain very well why you need it. I definitely haven't received such care before. The clinic is also beautiful and centrally located.
Marcus Gamez

Dj Parker
Absolute best dental experience I’ve ever had! Deni was so great! I love my new smile, and I can’t say enough about the whole experience! From the staff, to the facilities, to the procedure, to the price. I get compliments all the time on my new smile, and I got it done for a fraction of the price I would have payed in LA! Best dentist ever!!!
Jay Wiggs
Amazing experience, they were very polite and warm. If I need any help with my teeth. I wont hesitate to go again.
Billy Greed
I had the best experience here than any dentist I’ve ever been to! I have anxiety and other disorders and Deni and her staff made me feel so comforted and relaxed that I didn’t even feel like I was getting dental work done. The staff here all so nice and warning and caring of your every needs. They really go above and beyond to inform you of what’s going on at all times. More impressively, they don’t do any unnecessary work that shouldn’t be done. They actually want to save your good teeth and healthy roots instead of wanting to yank them out like here in the states. I’ve neglected my teeth for so many years because of my anxiety of the dentist but after the first visit, I no longer have those fears because of the experience I had here. I actually look forward to coming. It’s clean, sterile, and professional. The place looks like a 5 star spa if they had dental facilities in them. Easy to get there, easy to get back. Never in pain when I leave. They have truly transformed my smile and I know have a healthy mouth and a great smile!!! Deni and Carlos are awesome dentists. If there’s one place you should go… come here!! You won’t regret it!!!
Adrian Islas
Deni changed my life from going to never smiling. Due to being embarrassed of my teeth to now smiling every single day and showing off my white smile everywhere I couldnt be more greatful and thankful for the work they did thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you

I've been searching for a reasonably priced dental place in TJ for some time now and I'm so glad I found Border Smiles. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Looks like I've found my go to spot for dental work. Thanks again for the awesome service and to Den for setting up my appointment!

The best dentists in Tijuana, they always recommended the best treatment for my teeth, I love my smile, they made me braces and whitening, I really love them
Angie Cuevas
I'm in love with the clinic ? I loved the service they provided. It was a wonderful experience. They're super friendly ❤️ And the whole team is nice. They also explain the treatments you need and help you understand the importance of taking care of your teeth ? EXCELLENT SERVICE ?
Paulina Ortiz
It was my first time visiting this place, and they told me they were going to do an ultrasonic cleaning. It sounded really fancy, so to be honest, I was a little nervous haha. But on the contrary, it was super fast despite being a deeper cleaning method (but without damaging your teeth). They also gave me a general evaluation, and I learned a lot about some issues I have with my teeth. But what I liked MOST was the service as soon as you step into this place (which is also very aesthetic, and for me, that's a plus haha). They welcome you in a very nice way, play your favorite music throughout the appointment, and explain step-by-step EVERYTHING they're doing. To be honest, going to the dentist wasn't on my favorite to-do list, but after this visit, I honestly feel a huge difference in my teeth and I'm super excited to start my aligner process. Thank you Border Smiles!
Joana Guzmán
I had a lot of pain in one of my molars, so I came with Dr Ricardo Camacho at BORDER SMILES DENTAL CLINIC and it was such a good experience. Since the good service from Angie the dental hygienist and Dr Ricardo, to the non invasive procedure and the lack of pain after my extraction. I am very happy to let my Dental Health on Dr Ricardo´s hands. Thank you! No regrets.
Ruben Garcia
They treated me extremely well, instilling a lot of trust. In addition to being very professional, they explained to me step by step the best treatment for my needs.
Victor Villagomez
Good morning, my name is VICTOR MANUEL VILLAGOMEZ CANO. How did I find BORDER SMILE? They recommended them to me. When I arrived there in 2019, the first thing I received from the great team was a super-healthy welcome. They made me feel very confident and secure about the procedure we would carry out. Because I say carry out because as a patient you are already part of the BORDER SMILES team. They explain the entire process step by step, they are always attentive to any questions. My friend and dentist RICARDO CAMACHO has always been aware of my process, always 100%, and thanks to his professionalism and recommendations, my life has really changed. I had trauma with my teeth, but today it has changed completely because it is healthy. They have given me an excellent change, especially because with the brace procedure I am super happy, and even more so because the quality of care from my orthodontist named FRANCISCO ANDRADE made me feel at home, and the security that he also made me feel when I began to see the changes. To this day, I feel happy because of what they promised me from the first day I came to them until now, they have fulfilled everything they told me we would do as a team. Thank you BORDER SMILES for making me feel at home every time I visit you. Excellent team, excellent attention, excellent human beings, and super excellent professionalism when doing your work, everyone from the heart. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE BORDER SMILES FAMILY. Thank you ❤️ ? ? ?
