About the clinic

The basic check-up at SoftDentalCare Clinic in Los Algodones, Mexico, is a baseline screening for teeth, gums, and oral health. This diagnostic visit helps patients identify potential dental issues early through a combination of physical examinations and imaging. The clinic is accredited by the Asociación Dental Mexicana and is located within walking distance of the United States border.

What the Check-up Includes

The examination begins with a review of medical history and a discussion of any current dental concerns. This process allows the dentist to tailor the screening to the specific needs of the patient. The diagnostic visit includes several key steps:

  • Gum tissue health assessment. Evaluates the condition of the gums to check for signs of inflammation or disease.
  • Dental X-rays. Exams the hard tissues, including the teeth and jawbone, to find hidden issues.
  • Digital imaging. Uses technology that reduces radiation exposure while providing high-resolution images.
  • Panoramic X-rays. Visualizes teeth below the gum line when necessary for a more accurate diagnosis.
  • Annual schedule. Establishes a routine based on the individual oral health needs of the patient.

Diagnostic Technology and Setting

SoftDentalCare Clinic uses digital X-rays to capture detailed images of the mouth. These digital systems produce high-quality visuals for the dentist to review while limiting the amount of radiation the patient receives. If the dentist needs to see the position of teeth that have not yet emerged or check the bone structure, they may use a panoramic X-ray during the same visit.

The assessment is performed as an outpatient service. After the examination, the dentist discusses the findings and explains the diagnosis directly to the patient. They also answer questions about the results and any necessary follow-up steps for oral health maintenance. For most patients, this screening is recommended at least once per year to monitor changes in oral health. Those with specific health conditions may need to visit more frequently. To schedule an evaluation, patients can leave a request on Bookimed.

SoftDentalCare: Committed to Compassionate Dental Care

The SoftDentalCare team is dedicated to providing compassionate and respectful dental care to all patients. The medical team offers a comprehensive range of skilled dental services to address patients' oral health needs. In a judgment-free environment, they work together to determine the best treatment plan that aligns with patients' needs and preferences.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth directly to the jawbone. This technique is suitable for individuals missing one or multiple teeth. A titanium screw, resembling a tooth root, is inserted into the jawbone. This foundation supports a single natural-looking artificial tooth, a bridge, or a set of dentures, effectively replicating the function and appearance of missing teeth. Dental implants restore your ability to chew and smile with confidence.

Cosmetic Dentistry

If the patient is dissatisfied with the appearance of the teeth or has cracked, broken, or decayed teeth, cosmetic and restorative dentistry may be the right solution for the patient. Various dental procedures can transform patient's smile, giving the pearly whites the patient constantly desired and restoring confidence to chew and smile freely. SoftDentalCare in Los Algodones offers a range of affordable treatment options for patients with stained, crooked, cracked, or worn teeth.

General Dentistry

The foundation of excellent oral health begins with a thorough dental exam. Upon the patient's visit, the clinic's team will review their medical history and address any concerns regarding their teeth, mouth, or oral health. A comprehensive dental examination will be performed, and the health of the patient's gum tissue will be assessed. Additionally, X-rays will be taken, and, if necessary, panoramic X-rays will be obtained to visualize the patient's teeth below the gum line. Dr. Mario will discuss the diagnosis and potential treatment options, answering all questions and carefully considering the patient's needs and concerns. Together, the clinic's team and the patient will collaborate to determine the most suitable treatment plan.

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry encompasses techniques that promote long-term oral health, preventing cavities, gum disease, and other forms of dental damage. Regular dental checkups and cleanings, the most common preventive dentistry practices, are cost-effective treatments that can prevent costly dental procedures in the future. Dr. Mario A. Garibay provides cleanings for patients seeking to maintain their teeth's cleanliness, strength, and brightness for years to come.

I have been coming to Dr. Mario for several years now. Mario is very friendly, easy to talk to and a good listener. I always felt like he has my best interest in mind. He is very knowledgeable and always available for my questions. I am very satisfied with his work and so is my dentist back home.

This is a modest office but don't let that scare you. It has all the necessary equipment and Dr. Garibay and his wife are both wonderful. I have been to Los Algodones at least 4 times and at first saw a higher priced dentist with a fancier office and paid for mini implants that failed within a few years. I was required to pay that dentist for regular implants recently developed for small jaws which were considerably more expensive. That is why I changed dentists. Dr. Garibay immediately noted that my jaw was very small and that I might have to return after healing to get the work finished so that the implants would not fail. The other dentist completely blamed me for the failure of my upper mini implants although I had followed every instruction he gave me. Obviously Dr. Garibay is the better dentist. He has very reasonable prices and I cannot thank he or his wife enough for the many extra kindnesses and help they provided.
