Stop the pain in just one day and save your natural tooth with a Root Canal in Mexico
Medify connects you with board-certified endodontists and modern clinics in Tijuana, minutes from the U.S. border.
A root canal removes the infection inside the tooth so you can keep your natural smile. In Tijuana, clinics use digital X-rays and rotary instruments to clean, shape and seal the canals with precision.
With same-day appointments near the San Ysidro crossing, you can stop the pain, reduce swelling and prevent future complications. Most patients return to normal activities in a day.
Why Get a Root Canal in Tijuana?
Types of Root-Canal Treatment
Single-Root Canal
This treats front teeth or some premolars that have one canal. The dentist removes the infected pulp, shapes the canal and seals it to stop the pain and protect the tooth.
A temporary filling is placed first, then your dentist places a permanent filling or crown to restore strength and function.
Multi-Root Canal (Molar Therapy)
Molars have two to four canals. The specialist cleans each canal using magnification and irrigation to remove bacteria and debris.
Because molars do more chewing, they often need a full-coverage crown after treatment to prevent cracks.
Retreatment
If a tooth hurts again after a past root canal, retreatment removes the old material and addresses any missed canals or leakage.Your dentist places new medication and a fresh seal to control infection and save the tooth whenever possible.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
When problems remain at the tip of the root, the surgeon makes a small opening in the gum, removes the infected tip and seals the end.
This microsurgical option can resolve persistent issues and save a tooth that would otherwise be lost.

Great experience A-Z needed a root Canal asap was in so much pain I couldn’t sleep for almost 2 straight nights.
My dentist in CO couldn’t see me for almost a week just for a consultation not to mention actual treatment. These guys were able to take me and get my RC done in the same day.
Shuttle from the border straight to their door. Office was clean staff was friendly and can speak English. Looking forward to a good nights rest finally. Oh and the price would have been 4k in US they got me done for 790USD in the end worth the drive.

I was very nervous about making the trip down. I’ve heard so many horror stories and my background is military, so I’m very Americanized.
Anyways needed a root canal. Told 30 days wait in the States. Pain kept me up for 3 nights. Called this clinic in Mexico after going back and forth for a week and got in that day.
Service was great. The doctors were welcoming and made it super easy and painless. Will recommend to everyone. The price isn’t that bad either, which was about 1/3 of what I would paid in the states. Certainly recommend !!!!!
