About Tijerina Family & Cosmetic Dentistry of McAllen

In-office lab technology lets Dr. Lauro Tijerina build and repair crowns on the spot, with 3D imaging and laser dentistry featured heavily in reviews.

This is a general dental practice that also offers TMJ treatment, though most reviews focus on routine and restorative dental care. Reviews highlight a remodeled, tech-forward office with 3D imaging, in-house crown fabrication, and laser tools like Solea and CO2 lasers used for fillings and repairs. Dr. Lauro Tijerina is frequently described as thorough about explaining X-rays and treatment options before starting work, and several reviews mention gentle handling of nervous or fearful patients, including young children. A handful of reviews raise concerns about cost and insurance coverage.

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!!!

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...
