Border-Smart Dentistry with an Onsite Prosthesis Lab
Delux Dental Care welcomes international patients to Nuevo Laredo with a full menu of care, from dental implants and full-arch treatment to crowns, veneers, root canals, dentures, braces, and everyday family dentistry.
Patients praise the clinic for its friendly bilingual service, clear planning, and fast turnaround thanks to a total prosthesis laboratory onsite, where custom, esthetic restorations are made in-house.
Standard titanium implants, mini implants, bone grafts, sinus lifts, implant crowns and bridges, overdentures on 2, 4, or 6 implants, and porcelain full-arch bridges supported by 4, 6, or 8 implants.
Full porcelain or ceramic crowns, zirconia crowns, porcelain, zirconia, and composite veneers, temporary restorations, inlays, and onlays.
Anterior, premolar, and molar root canal therapy, post and core build-ups, and bundled root canal with crown plans.
Acrylic, flexible, and metal frameworks, immediate or healing plates, and flippers.
Metal and clear options, Invisalign® Lite, retainers, and splints.
Exams, cleanings, deep cleanings, also called scaling and root planing, fillings, extractions, laser and take-home whitening, and night guards.
Consultations, X-rays or CT imaging where indicated, and sedation dentistry available.
The clinic is led by Dra. Luz Amaya Chávez, an English- and Spanish-speaking dental surgeon practicing since 2013, with training across dental surgery, pediatric dentistry, and endodontics, including root canals. Her team collaborates closely with onsite lab technicians to deliver esthetic results on tight travel timelines.
Expect a friendly, straightforward approach with treatment options explained in plain language, step-by-step timelines, and written aftercare. Sending recent X-rays or CT scans before you travel helps confirm candidacy for treatments such as implants, reserve lab time, and minimize repeat visits.
Fly into Laredo International Airport, LRD, then reach the border or clinic area in about 15–20 minutes by taxi or rideshare. Typical nonstop or one-stop options include Dallas/Fort Worth to LRD, about 1.5 hours, and Houston Intercontinental to LRD, about 1.5 hours. Other cities, such as Las Vegas and Mexico City, generally connect.
Approximate drive times to the border area: Downtown Laredo, Texas, 10–15 minutes; San Antonio, about 2 hours 30 minutes; Austin, about 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours; Corpus Christi, about 2 hours 30 minutes; Houston, about 5–6 hours; Dallas–Fort Worth, about 6.5–7 hours; McAllen, about 2.5 hours; Monterrey, about 2.5–3 hours.
Arrival tip: Many patients park on the U.S. side in Laredo, Texas, and walk or rideshare across. Others drive directly to the clinic. Your advisor will share the exact GPS pin, parking suggestions, and border-crossing notes.
Your Dental Departures advisor can confirm availability, lock in quotes, and sequence back-to-back appointments around your flights free of charge.
Warranties typically apply to lab-made restorations, including crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, and, where specified, implant components for a defined period. Coverage generally requires following the written aftercare plan, attending maintenance visits, and using protective devices such as a night guard if prescribed. Before you commit, Dental Departures can share the current written warranty specific to your treatment, including what is covered, for how long, exclusions such as smoking or missed recalls, and how repairs or replacements are handled.
The practice is in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, just across from Laredo, Texas, near multiple international crossings. Most travelers either park on the U.S. side and walk or rideshare across, or drive directly to the clinic in Mexico using the GPS pin and parking notes. From LRD airport, plan about 15–20 minutes by taxi or Uber; from San Antonio, it is roughly 2.5 hours by car. Your advisor will provide turn-by-turn directions and border tips.
Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards. Larger plans may allow bank transfers. Because card brands, any processor fees, and possible cash-discount policies can change, Dental Departures can confirm the exact accepted methods for your dates and note whether a deposit is required to reserve surgical or lab time.
Spanish and English are spoken. The front desk and clinical team can assist in either language, and treatment documents, including consents and aftercare, can be prepared bilingually on request.
Most implant plans are two-stage. Stage 1, implant placement with or without bone graft or sinus lift, usually fits into 2–4 days with a brief review. Stage 2, the abutment and final crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration, is scheduled after healing, also called osseointegration. If grafting is required, total timelines extend. Dental Departures can map visits to your travel window and arrange provisional teeth when appropriate.
Often, yes. If a post, core, and permanent crown are included, plan about 4–7 days. Many travelers wear a high-quality temporary while the final crown is finished in the onsite lab. Timing depends on infection control, the tooth involved, and lab steps. Your written plan will spell out the sequence and chair time.
With notice, the clinic can organize X-rays or 3D imaging, as indicated, and a same-day consultation so you can review options, sequencing, and a written estimate in a single visit. Sending recent records ahead of time speeds things up and helps reserve lab capacity.
Yes. Sedation options are available case by case and can make longer procedures more comfortable. The team can confirm suitability, pre-op instructions, and whether an escort is required based on your plan.

a friend of mine had a bad experience with the procedure spent money for nothing.
Excellent dentist! I drove from Dallas, TX to save some money. She is one of the most patient and understanding people. She will make sure you are comfortable and address all your needs and concerns.
My family and I had great experience at Delux Dental Care, Dra. Luz Amaya takes the time to review your health issues and dental needs. She is personable, friendly and always accessible, she takes time to explain, make it really easy to understand. I drive from San Antonio Texas to get my needs addressed by her. She is the BEST!
Excellent Service. Professional. The dentist is patient and is attentive to each patient. She explains the treatment options in detail. 100% Recommended!!
Dr. Luz Amaya is a wonderful dentist. Exceedingly kind. And my teeth look 25 years younger. Her work is art. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting, basicic dental care or someone wanting major dental work. She is talented and caring. You could not ask for more in a dentist.
