I've seen questions from time to time on getting dental work done in Mexico, and more precisely, Los Algodones, Mexico.  The border crossing for Los Algodones is between Yuma, AZ and Winterhaven, CA.  The actual border crossing is off I-8 in California at the Los Algodones Rd. exit.  There is an Indian Casino called Quechan Casino right at the exit, and they offer RV parking behind the casino on a large dirt lot.  Depending on the time of year there can be anywhere from less than a dozen RV's parked there to 100 RV's.  The casino is just 2 miles from the border.  Also, depending on the time of year the cost can vary from free to $3/day.  They also operate a large parking lot right at the border crossing where you can park for about $6/day......from the parking lot is is about 1/2 mile walk to our dentist.

There are over 300 dentists in Los Algodones so how do you find a good one?  The best way, or course, is a personal recommendation.  This is how we found our dentist.  We contacted a number of our fulltime RV friends and almost to a one they recommended Dr. Eva Urena (619-866-6992).  The phone number is a U.S. number.  George, her husband, answers the phone.  She has a very modern dental office, and is located 4 short blocks from the border crossing.  We first utilized her services about 2.5 years ago.  Since we began using her I have had one dental implant, and 2 crowns installed.  Elaine has had a tooth pulled, and a couple of crowns also.  If you need a root canal she will refer you to Dr. Hernandez whose office is just 100 feet from hers.  He is also excellent!   The prices are amazing! In most cases the entire cost for extractions, crowns, filings, etc. are less than 1/2 what our dental insurance co-payments used to be back when we had dental insurance.  I've had one root canal done by Dr. Hernandez, and Elaine has had 4, or 5.  Probably the best root canal experience I have ever had, and Elaine says the same.

If any of you have more questions please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected], or call me at 951-236-5312.  We can recommend Dr. Urena without reservation!
