About Nogales Dental Care

Nogales Dental Care is a traveler-friendly clinic a short walk from the DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, Sonora. This practice is popular with U.S. patients who drive down I-19 from Tucson or I-10 to I-19 from Phoenix.

The center covers everyday dentistry and complex cases, including implants, cosmetic work, pediatrics, orthodontics, extractions, and root canals, with specialists available for nearly every treatment. The clinic notes that it accepts most major U.S. insurance providers, helping cross-border visitors manage costs with familiar carriers.

Named practitioners include Dr. Lourdes Estupiñan, a bilingual maxillofacial dental surgeon, and Dr. Oscar Lopez, who focuses on smile aesthetics.

Treatments and Technology

 

Services range from exams, cleanings, and tooth-colored fillings to cosmetic dentistry, including laser whitening, porcelain, zirconia, and PFM crowns, and porcelain and composite veneers.

The clinic also provides dentures and partials, simple, surgical, and impacted extractions, inlays and onlays, nightguards, and diagnostics such as panoramic X-rays and CT/3D imaging.

Implant solutions include single implants, implant crowns and abutments, sinus lifts and bone grafts, removable overdentures supported by 2–6 implants, and full-arch options like All-on-4 and All-on-6 with acrylic or porcelain bridges.

Root canal therapy is available for anterior, premolar, and molar teeth, with post and core build-ups when needed. Orthodontic options include metal and clear braces and select aligner cases.

If terms like abutment, overdenture, or self-ligating appear in your plan, the team explains each in everyday language before treatment begins.
