Under the direction of Dr. Lurdes Cazarez, the clinic brings together a multidisciplinary team—implantologists, endodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists and pediatric specialists—to plan predictable treatment for travelers crossing from San Diego.

Why choose Clínica Dental Unión?

• Multispecialty team on site: coordinated care for implants, root canals, gum therapy, braces, oral surgery and children’s dentistry.
• Experience and continuity: founded more than two decades ago under Dr. Lurdes Cazarez.
• International-patient friendly: English- and Spanish-speaking staff; the clinic routinely sees cross-border patients.
• Broad treatment menu: from cleanings and fillings to veneers, crowns, dentures and full-arch implant solutions.
• Central location: convenient for patients walking across at San Ysidro and using a short rideshare to the clinic area.

Treatments & technology

Services cover preventive checkups, digital imaging, fillings, crowns and bridges, teeth whitening, dentures, root canals, periodontal therapy, orthodontics (braces), oral/maxillofacial surgery and dental implants—from single-tooth implants to full-arch approaches supported by 4–8 implants. If any technical term appears in your plan (for example “sinus lift” or “abutment”), the team explains it in simple, everyday language.

Location & getting there

The clinic is in central Tijuana, Baja California—minutes from the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Many visitors park on the U.S. side, walk across at PedEast or PedWest (when open), then request a rideshare to the clinic area.

Border & local transport tips

• From San Diego International Airport (SAN): plan roughly 25–45 minutes to the border (traffic-dependent), plus time to cross on foot. After you enter Tijuana, use Uber or DiDi for the 10–20-minute ride to the clinic neighborhood.
• Parking: to simplify logistics, many travelers use paid lots near San Ysidro, walk across and rideshare the final leg.
• Timing: border waits vary by time of day—add buffer time for morning and late-afternoon appointments.

What to expect as an international patient

• Clear planning: you’ll receive a step-by-step treatment plan with timing and visit count; larger cases can be staged around travel dates.
• Bilingual care: consultations, consent forms and post-op instructions are available in English or Spanish.
• Coordination: a Dental Departures advisor can help with quotes, scheduling and questions before you travel.
