Ivan Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry sits just across the border from Yuma, Arizona, to Los Algodones, Mexico. This private dental center specializes in everything from basic cleanings to complex reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Iván Gerardo Puente founded the practice after spending over a decade in the field. Under his watch, the clinic has grown into a destination for dental tourists seeking affordable, high-quality care outside the US healthcare system.
Each year, around 250 patients—mostly Americans, Canadians, and Australians—travel to this border town clinic. What keeps them coming back? The staff takes time with everyone who walks through the door. You won't feel rushed during appointments. No assembly-line dentistry here.
When doing implants, they've got this 3D scanner that takes detailed pictures of your mouth. Makes a big difference - they can see exactly where to put the implant so it fits right and heals faster.
Lots of folks hate going to the dentist, but patients keep coming back to Dr. Puente's place. It could be because they don't charge an arm and a leg or because they try to make it painless. Either way, whether you need something small fixed or a total smile overhaul, they seem to have figured out how to make dental work suck less while still doing a solid job.
