Smile Designer... Dr. Sergio Lizarraga... just above the Tequila Factory on the same floor as Rosie's Insurance... I have been using him for many years and he is painless...

You can also try Dr. Angela Acuna (Tice)....Rocky Smiles....about a block off Fremont past the Pemex station (the first one, not the one by Los Conchas). She (or one of her associates) sees patients even on Sundays..... A couple of times that I went by Dr. Lizarraga's office, he was not in, but he was reachable by phone.....

I also used Dr. Lizarraga for several years. I agree he is a good dentist, but his prices kept getting higher. I now use Dra. Lupita Monge in Los Algodones.

The nice thing about Dr. Acuna (Rocky Smiles), she has her own lab for crowns, etc...right next door to her offices.

The other nice thing is she is about 3 blocks from my house where you will come to pick up your new puppy !!
I hate to be negative but I had a bad experience with Rocky Smiles. They put a crown on a cracked tooth. There was significant pain pressing it on and it never went away. I ended up with an implant...bad deal all around. She should have seen the crack but didn't because she didn't x-ray it before proceeding. I don't know if that was a once in a while kind of thing or SOP. Nothwithstanding, I would and have had dental work performed in Penasco since, but not at Rocky Smiles.

Rhino....I won't dispute that you may have had a problem with Rocky Smile.....
However, I had a crown put on several years ago...probably 9-10, by an old time Navy dentist who is located behind the La Curva restaurant. The tooth was a back molar, and it was cracked (vertical crack). In the states, the dentist would have extracted, and it probably would have required an implant. This tooth and crown are still going strong!!! (knock on wood!!). So each case has to be taken individually.....
With Rocky Smiles, I would feel comfortable having Dr. Acuna working on me....but not necessarily one of her associates....she did some work on my mom, but was not the most gentle, although the work was acceptable.

I have a tooth right now that has a crown over a crack and when I scuba dive and it expands it sometimes lets me know it is there. This is one of the things that I need to get fixed when I come down and by the way it was a dentist right here in Litchfield Park. As with Rhino this dentist didnt xray either. I complained and he said it was fine and nothing was wrong. Maybe I will talk to them on Tuesday when I come down

I recommend Dr. Socorro. She worked on Jerry last year and all is better than fine. He had a deep cleaning and she added another tooth to his bridge after she had to pull one of his and a bunch of other things and it was under 200. I googled all of it when I got back and it would have cost 1200 here. She's very reasonable, too. You will, however, have to take an interpreter. Jerry was very relieved that I was there because she would tell me what she was gonna do next and I would tell Jerry. There were no surprises. I speak sorta ok Spanish. She has a couch for family and interpreters to sit on so you are not back there all by yourself. Her office is clean and she is very nice.
