How can I help?

Wisdom tooth removal

Assessment of third molars and a surgical plan based on their position and your individual case.

Temporomandibular joint

Assessment of jaw pain, joint sounds and movement concerns to determine appropriate treatment options.

Dental implants and full-arch rehabilitation

Endosseous implants and full-arch options, including All-on-4. Immediate loading depends on implant stability and an individual clinical assessment.

Surgery to change chin position. Silicone chin implants can be associated with resorption of the underlying bone. If you have one, a clinical and imaging assessment can determine whether sliding osseous genioplasty is an appropriate option.

Facial trauma

Assessment and treatment of facial fractures, including the jaw. The plan depends on the fracture pattern and clinical and imaging findings.

Meet your surgeon

I’m Dr. Deborah Tamariz

I was born and raised in Cancún. I later moved to Mérida to study dental surgery at Universidad Anáhuac Mayab.

I completed my oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the “Dr. Rafael Lucio” High Specialty Center of the Secretaría de Salud in Xalapa, Veracruz, with academic training through Universidad Veracruzana. I am certified by the Mexican Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and currently see patients in private practice in Mexico City and Cancún.

I believe good care starts with listening to each patient’s needs. My aim is to provide compassionate, personal care, explain the options clearly and support you throughout treatment.
