You already know that you can save a lot of money by getting your dental work done at Rio Dental, however, you may be unsure about the safety in Mexico. This is especially true if you have never crossed the border before, don't speak any Spanish or have apprehensions about Mexico and Juarez. There are many false conceptions and irrational fears about crossing the border and going into Juarez. Yes, there is some violence, like in any major city in the USA. The media reports on this extensively but almost never mentions that the victims are targeted and are actively involved in unlawful activities, and those in law enforcement who are fighting the criminals. It is mostly drug dealers killing rival drug dealers and people connected to that illegal business and those individuals. If you are not involved in illicit activities, there is nothing to worry about. Life continues "business as usual" for most people, residents and visitors as well. Over the past several years, there has not been a single incidence of a medical tourist coming across the border being injured or attacked! None of the thousands of patients that have visited us over the past years has reported any problems or incidents. That is good news. Less than 5 minutes from the border with the United States, Rio Dental is located in a secure area of the city and you can see El Paso from the clinic less than a mile away.

Rio Dental uses a van to pick up patients from their hotel or the airport in El Paso, TX. We bring you across the border to the clinic and return you. Our clinic is not open to walk-ins. Everybody has an appointment and only those with an appointment can enter. Everyone entering the property must be buzzed in through the secure gate at the street, and then buzzed in through the front door. - Although we implemented this measure years ago to keep out solicitors, this controlled-access to the clinic also helps insure the safety of our patients during their visit to Mexico.
