I needed my teeth cleaned and my wife has been going here and is currently doing the Invisilne braces ($4000), so I called to get an appt.. As a new patient I was told it would be 10 weeks before they could see me. I also need some additional work done...two implants, sinus lift bone graft, tooth installed on the implant I got in Sept. peri scale cleaning. I wonder if they knew I also needed about $20K in work done if they would have found an appt to get me in sooner??? Fortunately I have now seen the two doctors next door, Dr Shultz and Dr Uriegas. I called Dr Uriegas and she got me in that same week for the routine cleaning/x-rays. So far, 30 days later I've spend close to $2K and have a lot to do these coming months. My wife thinks they are a great dental office....me, I'll never know, but. I am SUPER pleased with Dr Uriegas!!!
Tijerina dentistry is a five star. They have the best customer service, everyone is always so friendly and professional. I’ve seen many dentist since a young age, but they surpass all of them. I absolutely love the technology at this dentistry.
Went in for a second opinion. The equipment and technology was something I had not seen before. Didn't receive the news I was hoping for, but the evidence was clear and the options were more plentiful than what I had been told previously. Highly recommend anyone that suspects they may have a dental issue go for a consult...
Dr Tijerina is amazing! His staff is very courteous and re assuring throughout procedure. This clinic has the latest technology needed for cosmetic needs! You guys were a blessing to me today! My front tooth broke and you guys were able to do everything in 1 visit… and you accommodated me the same day! I will surely come back!
All the staff at Dr Tijerina's office are very friendly and helpful. Sydney is a great dental hygienist, very informative & thorough w her cleanings. The entire family really enjoy the visits and consults.
