Can I Get Good Dental Work in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico?
City in Mexico
Universal Dental Clinic
We expect the Winter Texans fleeing the harsh Midwest winters to stay in the Rio Grande Valley will too. They cross the border to save thousands on dental work and hundreds on medicine. Not one has ever had a problem. Yeah, it’s probably safer in Nuevo Progreso than wherever you are from.
I and my family have used Mexican dentists in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico for 18 years. Choosing a dentist in Mexico is tough. There are nearly one hundred dentists in Nuevo Progreso and every border town has a multitude. I recommend only Mexican dentists I personally know. I’ve recommended Universal Dental Clinic since 2006.
I can honestly recommend Universal Dental Clinic. I use them. My family uses them. I’ve sent many strangers to them, and some have become friends. What else would you want in a recommendation? Before you write, please read on.
No, they do not have a web site. I am their representative. Dr. B. would rather I do the pre-patient interaction and he do the dentistry. Lots of dentists have web sites and a lot are slicker than this one. I am not slick, but down-to-earth and treat you like family.These dentists have been in business in the same location, for 15 years and Dr. Barajas graduated from dental school 21 years ago, as did Dra. Karina. Dr. Bazan graduated 13 years ago. I have only two rules. Please read these so I can help you better.
1. If you need a same-day or next-day appointment, I do not do that. Allow 2 business days lead time.
2. I send you a map, address, phone and directions when I confirm your appointment.
Please see the prices page before you write and ask me what your work will cost. If you are trying to get an appointment for today, please do not write. I have worked very hard to squeeze people in only to find that they stand us up or find another dentist.

All I do is make the appointment. You pay the doctor. Cash or personal checks are accepted. No credit cards.
Yes, he will fill out the forms for your dental insurance, but does not bill them. You pay him then get reimbursed from your insurance.
