About Sani Dental Group
With modern, contemporary facilities boasting state-of-the-art technologies, including 3D CT scanning, panoramic x-rays and their own on-site laboratory, the group is fastidious in delivering dental care that surpasses the expectations of their patients.

Dental Procedures Available at Sani Dental Group
Sani Dental Group provides comprehensive dental services, from the simplest to the most complicated of interventions.
Everyday dental care includes a free initial consultation, fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. The group also offers root canals and dental implants, as well as cosmetic dentistry services, including laser teeth whitening and veneers.
Sani Dental also offers pain-free laser dentistry – one of the most modern techniques in modern dentistry where a laser is used to provide an alternative to traditional techniques and is particularly helpful for patients as healing times are faster; some procedures requiring stitches in traditional dentistry may not with a laser; bleeding time is minimized because the laser aids blood clotting; infections are minimized as the laser sterilizes; surrounding tissues suffer less damage.
For prosthodontics (dentures, crowns, veneers), the group has its own in-house dental laboratory so that quality control can be maintained without having to send out to an external laboratory. This also reduces waiting times, which is something international patients, in particular, may be grateful for.

Why Else Should I Consider Sani Dental Group?
Los Algodones is easy to reach for North Americans, on the US-Mexico border, some 11 miles away from Yuma. Don’t be put off by reports that all Mexican border towns are unsafe – Los Algodones is considered to be very safe and there are virtually no reports of drug-related violence in the area that blight some other towns along the Border.
The location is an archetypal Mexican border town with its colorful, dusty roads, street vendors and shops advertising heavy discounts on pharmaceuticals and prescription glasses.
Like other border towns, it has capitalized on the steady stream of visitors coming from the North who are in search of a bargain. Haggling is the name of the game here, and you can certainly have a fun time trying to get the best prices for souvenirs, and anything else that takes your fancy. There’s also plenty of spots to sit and watch the world go by with a long, tall, iced drink in your hand – and, of course, places to eat.
Many thousands of people make the trip to see an Algodones dentist from all over North America – the prices being one of the main reasons people initially make the trip. However, Los Algodones is becoming a byword in dental care as it delivers not only on price but also on expertise, as previous patients of Sani’s can attest to.
The town might look rather unassuming, but don’t judge a book by its cover. Inside the modest exteriors of the buildings here are contemporary facilities with up-to-the-minute equipment and, of course, skilled medical staff.
The Bottom Line
People are often worried about the standards of dentistry in Mexico being inferior to what they are used to, but if you choose a reliable clinic, like Sani, then you shouldn’t have any problems.
