Unity Dental
Unity Dental is a specialist-led dental center in Mexicali, Baja California, just 2.3 miles (3.7 km) from the Calexico West border crossing. Its signature specialty is Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics, backed by a full multidisciplinary team for implants, oral surgery, root canals, gum care and cosmetic dentistry — expert, whole-family care under one roof.
Honest, evidence-based dentistry
Unity Dental was created with the idea that dentistry should feel personal, transparent and thoughtfully done. What began as a vision to practice with integrity and independence has grown into a space where modern dentistry meets genuine connection. Its values are honesty, clinical excellence and genuine human care: every patient is treated with respect, clarity and empathy, and every case is carefully diagnosed, openly explained and treated with long-term health in mind.
Orthodontics: the signature specialty
Braces, clear aligners, maxillofacial orthopedics and TMJ care are planned around your face, your bite and your goals by two orthodontists, Dr. Domingo F. Gómez and Dra. Erika F. García, who treat every case personally. Orthodontic treatment is possible for children, teens and adults.
TMJ and jaw-joint care
Jaw pain, clicking, grinding or clenching are evaluated with X-rays or a CT scan, examination of the joint and muscles, an intraoral scan of your bite in motion and a review of habits. Treatment often includes a custom occlusal splint chosen for your diagnosis, to treat the real cause of the problem.
All treatments
How your treatment works
- 1. Consultation — The orthodontic evaluation (1,400 MXN, about $78 USD) includes photographs, a digital scan and a follow-up visit where you receive your diagnosis and treatment plan. Other specialty consultations are about 1,000 MXN.
- 2. Personal plan — Your specialist explains the options, the expected timeline and a clear estimate.
- 3. Treatment — Regular check-ups to monitor progress and adjust the plan when needed. Orthodontic treatment averages about 24 follow-up visits.
- 4. Retention — Retainers and follow-up so your new smile stays where it should.
A warm, human team
Seven dentists work side by side, each in their own specialty. And the clinic has two unofficial morale officers, Chewie and Padme, in charge of emotional support and team spirit: a reminder that great care also starts with warmth and a little sense of humor.
