Your Dentists
At Tooth Implant Co. you are never handed off to whoever is free. Dr. Galindo leads crowns, restorative work and implants; Dr. Rafa, DDS, leads veneers and smile design. Meet the doctors.
Restorative & Crown Specialist
Dr. Luis Galindo, DDS, leads the restorative side of Tooth Implant Co.: the work that has to be beautiful and survive twenty years of chewing. His chair is where worn, cracked and heavily filled teeth are rebuilt with zirconia and lithium-disilicate crowns designed to match the shade, translucency and anatomy of the natural tooth next to them.
Patients know him as “Doctor Painless.” Those who cross the border for crowns usually have one fear: that the crowns will not fit their bite once they get home. Dr. Galindo plans every case around occlusion first, checking contacts and jaw movement at the try-in, so the restoration feels like it was always there.
Cosmetic Dentist · Veneers & Smile Design
Dr. Rafael “Rafa” Valenzuela, DDS, designs the smiles. Before a single tooth is touched, he studies the face (lip line, gum display, midline, tooth proportions) and builds a digital mock-up so patients can see and approve the shape of their new smile.
His philosophy is conservative: remove as little enamel as possible, choose the right ceramic for each mouth and never sell a smile that looks fake. The goal is a result people describe as “you look great,” not “nice veneers.”
Google Reviews
3 zirconia crowns
I highly recommend The Implant Co. with Dr. Luis Galindo, better known as “Doctor Painless.” After X-rays and a thorough exam, he confirmed exactly what my dentist in Yuma had said: I needed three crowns with tooth buildup. He got right to work and finished all the crown prep in about two hours. I returned the next day to place and fit the 3 crowns, and they are perfect. The total cost for all three zirconia crowns was less than what my Yuma dentist quoted me for just one crown, and that was with a top-tier Delta Dental PPO plan.
28 zirconia crowns
I traveled from Sacramento, California to see Dr. Luis Galindo in Los Algodones, Mexico, for a full-mouth restoration of 28 crowns, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My brother previously had implants done here and was so impressed by the exceptional service that he strongly recommended him to me. My new smile with my 28 zirconia crowns looks incredible! Dr. Galindo is exceptionally caring, the clinic is spotless and equipped with modern technology, and the staff is wonderful.
Smile restoration
The dentist is an artist. So much better than any New York dentist I’ve been to. Everyone there treated me good. The price was 6K+ cheaper than New York prices. I highly recommend this place.
Cosmetic result
Dr. Galindo is an excellent professional! Very responsible, attentive, and thorough. He explained every step of the procedure clearly, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The results exceeded my expectations. I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome.
Extractions & denture
This is by far the nicest, gentlest dentist I’ve ever been to. Office very clean. All of staff very nice and helpful. They made sure I was comfortable while having 7 teeth out and new denture. I highly recommend “Tooth Implant” to everyone needing dental work. They’re the best!!
2 implants
Dr. Galindo was great. I had 2 implants and I didn’t feel anything. He explained every detail and answered my questions. I would 100% recommend Tooth Implant. They are professional, accessible, and of course affordable. Ally the patient manager was the best coordinator. I was nervous to cross the border and she walked across with me.
New smile
Best place in Los Algodones if you need dental work done, the location is perfect just a couple feet from the Mexico/US border. Thankful with Dr Luis Galindo for his work and my new smile.
