About Gentle Family & Implant Dentistry of Laredo - Rolando A. Guerra Jr. DDS & Associates
Gentle Family & Implant Dentistry of Laredo is a dental practice on West Drive, offering general dentistry alongside more specific care most patients eventually need. The office serves a section of West Laredo where many patients are adults managing years of prior dental work rather than kids due for a first cleaning, so a practice built around implants and dentures as much as routine exams fits the neighborhood it sits in. A single missing tooth rarely stays a single problem for long, which is part of why having implant planning and everyday checkups under one roof tends to matter more here than it first appears.
Alongside cleanings and exams, the practice offers full, partial, and implant-supported dentures, crowns and bridges, and root canal treatment for damaged or infected teeth. Wisdom teeth extraction and oral pathology evaluation for lesions are handled in-house, and cosmetic work covers veneers and professional teeth whitening. One thing that sets this practice apart is sedation dentistry, offered for patients whose anxiety or the scope of a procedure makes a fully awake appointment impractical. Clear aligner orthodontics is also available for adults who want straightening without traditional braces.
If dental anxiety or a long list of needed work has kept you from booking an appointment at all, having sedation on the table changes whether treatment actually gets finished.
Cost here varies enormously by case — a single crown, a full denture, and an implant with sedation are priced nothing alike, so a written treatment plan and estimate after an exam is the only reliable way to know what a specific patient will owe before anything beyond a cleaning proceeds. Insurance usually covers preventive visits more fully than implants or sedation, which are commonly subject to separate annual limits worth checking in advance. For West Laredo patients who've been putting off bigger dental work, having implants, dentures, and sedation available at one West Drive address means fewer separate practices to coordinate between.
Gentle Family & Implant Dentistry of Laredo, on West Drive, provides dental implants, dentures, sedation dentistry, and in-house clear aligner orthodontics for adults and families across West Laredo, alongside root canals, crowns and bridges, and oral pathology evaluation in one office.

Amazing service professionalism and care! Been a patient here for decades!
As always, staff is extremely helpful, polite and professional.
We decided to give this dental office another chance because the dentists themselves truly do great work and seem to genuinely care about their patients. Unfortunately, our experience with the front office and billing department continues to be extremely disappointing. From the beginning, communication regarding treatment plans, billing expectations, future procedures, and costs has been very unclear. Patients should be informed ahead of time about treatment options, payment expectations, and next steps so they can properly prepare and make informed decisions. When treatments involve high costs, families need the opportunity to plan financially and understand what will be expected before procedures are scheduled or completed. Unfortunately, that level of communication and consideration for patients has been lacking. After our first negative experience, the owner/dentist Dr. Guerra personally called my husband to apologize for the inconvenience and concerns we experienced. He even offered a credit toward a future procedure in hopes that we would continue as patients, which we sincerely appreciated at the time. Unfortunately, during today’s visit, when my husband asked about the promised credit, the front office informed him there was no credit on file from the doctor. That was extremely disappointing, especially after we had been reassured directly by the owner himself. In addition, there continues to be very little communication regarding follow-up appointments or future procedures. We did not receive notice about scheduling the next appointment or any clear explanation regarding the continuation of treatment. It is unfortunate because the dentists provide quality care, but the ongoing lack of organization, billing transparency, communication, and professionalism from the front office has overshadowed the overall experience. After multiple visits and repeated concerns, we are very disappointed and are now seriously considering finding another dental office.
I am very pleased with Dr. ROLANDO GUERRA and Dr. Jovanelly Zaragosa’s professionalism and gentle touch to my teeth area and very satisfied with their services. I am very pleased with everyone there at Dr. GUERRA‘s office. I feel welcomed and treated with respect and they show concern whether you’re there in person or calling by phone.
I can honestly say it is always the best dental experience. Dr. Mares and Karen are truly exceptional. Their bedside manner is outstanding, they have a way of making you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Dr. Mares is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain everything with patience and care, which builds so much trust. Karen was incredible, gentle, thorough, and very attentive to every detail, making the entire visit comfortable and stress-free. What really sets them apart is the genuine compassion and professionalism they show. You can feel that they truly care about their patients, not just as clients, but as people. If you’re looking for a dental team that combines expertise, kindness, and a truly positive experience, I highly recommend Dr. Mares and Karen. They are simply the best!
I’m extremely happy with my dental visit! Karyn was an amazing hygienist—friendly, gentle, and very thorough. Dr. Vallone was fantastic as well, professional and reassuring during my exam. The whole experience was smooth and comfortable. I highly recommend this dental office.
I'm so very happy that I chose this office Everyone in the office were all so cordial, kind and very informative, from the first call to the end of my appointment. The doctors gave me all the time for questions and explained everything very thoroughly. Finally, I found a dentist office i actually look forward to going to. Wonderful experience overall.
