Meet Dr. Lucia Calderon Tenorio, Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology
Hello and welcome to Dream Dental! My name is Dr. Lucia Calderon Tenorio, and I am so excited to have you here. Joining this exceptional team allows me to provide the kind of personalized, high-quality dental care that transforms lives. Whether you’re looking for advanced prosthodontic solutions or simply a compassionate dental professional, I’m here to help.
Educational Excellence and Global Training
I began my journey in dentistry at the Universidad Intercontinental School of Dentistry in Mexico City, where I earned my Dental Degree (DDS). To deepen my expertise, I completed a residency in Prosthodontics and Implantology at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), a program known for its rigorous training. Most recently, I graduated from the Internationally Educated Dentist Program at Louisiana State University, earning my DDS in the United States.
Specialized Expertise
My passion lies in restoring smiles and improving oral health. Some of the services I specialize in include:
Complex oral rehabilitation with interdisciplinary approaches.
Fixed and removable prostheses, including implant-supported dentures.
Veneers and metal-free esthetic restorations.
Implant surgery and tissue management for optimal aesthetics.
Laboratory procedures such as wax-ups, mockups, and ceramic finishing.
At Dream Dental, I combine my technical skills with a compassionate approach to ensure every patient feels valued and cared for.
Dedication to Education and Community
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and mentoring future dental professionals. As Program Director of the Postgraduate Prosthodontic Program at Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca, I developed advanced curricula and raised educational standards. Sharing knowledge at international dental congresses has been another rewarding aspect of my career.
I’m also deeply committed to giving back. Volunteering with nonprofit organizations like “Sonrisas Oaxaqueñas” has allowed me to provide free dental care to underserved communities. These experiences remind me of the profound impact dentistry can have on people’s lives.
Recognition and Professional Memberships
I’m honored to have received the 2024 Student Award of Merit in Esthetic Dentistry from the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (AAED). Staying at the forefront of my field is important to me, which is why I’m actively involved in organizations such as:
International Team for Implantology (ITI)
Academy of Osseointegration (AO)
ITI Blue and Gold Study Club
A Multilingual Dental Professional
As someone fluent in both Spanish and English, I’m dedicated to making every patient feel heard and understood. My goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone who visits Dream Dental.
