About Gentle Family & Implant Dentistry

Gentle Family & Implant Dentistry, listed here as Gentle Implant Dentistry, is a general and cosmetic dental office at 5904 West Drive, Suite 9 in Laredo, Texas. The practice says it has cared for Laredo smiles since 1987 with a calm, family-centered approach. Services described on its website include everyday dental care, dental implants, dentures, crowns and bridges, root canals, wisdom teeth evaluations and extractions, Spark clear aligners, veneers, teeth whitening, custom mouthguards, and sedation options for anxious patients.

For patients considering dental implants, the office states that Dr. Guerra's team has been regularly placing implants since 1995 and has placed well over 2,000 of them. The practice both places implants and restores them in one office, with options including single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and locator-retained removable dentures that snap onto implants for stability while still coming out for cleaning. The website notes that the office focuses on removable implant-retained denture systems rather than fixed screw-retained full-arch dentures. Implant consultations cover bone support, healing time, cost factors, and bone grafting for patients who have been told they lack enough bone, and the team also evaluates problem implants placed elsewhere. The office is open Monday through Thursday and welcomes walk-ins.
