about

Expert Dentistry 

What Makes Us Different

We are not a corporate office that will treat you like a number. We are 100% patient-centered so you can expect to be treated with the dignity and respect that you deserve. What sets us apart is our commitment to your care, no matter how much it costs us. This is why we accept all major insurances and offer discount programs for uninsured patients. 

Laid-Back and Patient-Centered

Get To Know Dr. Garcia-Gurule

Dr. Garcia-Gurule grew up right here in Belen, NM. He became interested in the field of dentistry after receiving life-changing orthodontic care when he was in high school and decided to pursue it as a career. Dr. Garcia-Gurule earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of New Mexico and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at Creighton University. 

Dr. Garcia-Gurule prefers a laid-back, friendly environment both in and out of the dental office. Outside of work, he spends time hiking, taking trips to the beach, and going to concerts. In the office, he’s friendly and personable and enjoys getting to know his patients. 

He was motivated to start his own practice so that he could deliver high-quality care at affordable prices. His own life was changed by his experience receiving quality dental work, and he believes that going to the dentist can and should be a positive experience for everyone, regardless of what they come in for.
