The Clinic Sani Dental Group is currently located in Los Algodones, BC, Mexico and was established in 1985 by Dr. Enrique Jimenez in Guadalajara, Jal. Mexico.
After years spent exploring and practicing dental skills, Dr. Jimenez decided to move north to Los Algodones, Baja California where he then established his new dental clinic.
Since then Dr. Jimenez has managed to expand his clinic from a two patient chair, one dentist office, to a twelve patient chair, eight dentist office, along with a new location with two more chairs for smaller jobs such as cleanings and fillings.
With the high demands of patient referrals given, Dr. Jimenez then decided to develop and add a laboratory to produce Porcelain/Metal crowns, Empress II pure porcelain crowns and acrylic plates as well as TCS and combined metal partials to be able to complete the dental treatment from beginning at the same place.
Along the way, Dr. Jimenez and his staff have acquired vast experience as an independent private practice and have become an institution that specialized and perfected their skills in each of their individual fields that range from oral surgery, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, rehabilitation, orthodontics,endodontics and periodontics.
In the years since, Dr. Jimenez has found that communication is a huge factor in patient satisfaction. This is why most of the staff is fully bilingual and every patient receives care with a bilingual person in the room at all times.
Another factor taken in to account is the equipment. With the use of the newest technology in X-Ray imaging, panoramic X-Ray and sterilization. As well as having many one-time-useappliques, adhering to the strictest government health codes.
Patient Satisfaction All of this is done in a clean, friendly and family environment. Dr. Jimenez and his staff care about every one of their many patients and treat each case as if it were their only one. And as always, everyone gets a complementary checkup and thorough evaluation with anintra-oral camera so you can see what your dentist sees and have full knowledge of what is being recommended.
All visitors receive a complementary checkup and evaluation by the bilingual resident oral surgeon. During the evaluation an intra-oral camera is used so that patients can see for themselves on-screen to fully understand their procedure.
Any necessary X-rays are taken at this point and the patient is then given various options for treatment. The patient will then receive estimates for each option and an appointment is made to begin work if not right then and there. If the work is to begin immediately after, the surgeon assigns the case to one of the 12 dentists on staff best suited for each individual case. Treatments are administered according to plans previously discussed with the patient and at the scheduled dates. After completing treatments, patients are welcome to return every year to receive a complementary follow-up. This is to keep track of any problems you may encounter and allows us to follow-up on our own work, and as always, keeping in mind that the Sani Dental Group work is always guaranteed.

Los Algodones, Baja California, is a small Mexican town located on the extreme northeastern tip of the municipality of Mexicali, approximately 16 km (10 miles) west of Yuma, Arizona, USA. It is the northernmost town in Mexico, and at its northeastern tip is the northernmost point in Mexico. Its official name is Vicente Guerrero, although most people use Algodones when referring to it. It reported a population of 4,021 as of the 2005 Mexican census.
Situated near the borders of both southeastern California and southwestern Arizona, Los Algodones has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years due in part to inexpensive shopping and restaurants as well as inexpensive medical care and prescription medicines. The warm, dry climate of the area attracts a number of older tourists from across the United States and Canada who settle during the winter in the nearby towns of Yuma, Arizona and Winterhaven, California. Organized day trips from the Coachella Valley are popular among seniors as well.
From the US side, Los Algodones is most easily reached via Interstate 8 and south a short distance (3.33 Km / 2.07 mi) along State Route 186/Andrade Road to the international border at Andrade, California. From Andrade, visitors can elect to park their vehicles for a small fee and walk across the border or to drive across.
The popularity of both inexpensive prescriptions and medical care catering to Canadian and US senior citizens have prompted a virtual explosion of pharmacies and dental offices which have largely displaced a great deal of the open-air shops and restaurants immediately across the border and have effectively shifted the town's focus from tourism to medicine.
Nevertheless, a number of shops and restaurants remain and Los Algodones capitalizes on the tourist trade with frequent fiestas throughout the year, most notably around the Christmas season. Source: Wikipedia
