Our Team in West Amarillo

Dr. Julio Cruz, DDS, is a bilingual general dentist with a strong foundation in comprehensive care and a growing specialty focus in implant dentistry. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston in 2023. In August 2024, he completed an Implant Certification Continuum Cours, further expanding his ability to help patients rebuild their smiles.

Dr. Cruz believes that great dental care requires more than clinical skill; it requires listening, respect, and a genuine understanding of each patient's background and needs. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he builds meaningful connections with patients from a wide range of communities, ensuring everyone who sits in his chair feels truly heard. His goal is straightforward: deliver high-quality care with kindness and precision.

Clinically, Dr. Cruz is experienced across a broad range of procedures, including crowns, extractions, implants, and dentures. He has completed comprehensive treatment on thousands of patients throughout his career, with particular strength in treatment planning and delivering efficient, high-quality care in a high-volume environment. His implant training and hands-on experience with both surgical placement and prosthetic restoration make him a well-rounded provider for patients seeking to replace missing teeth.

Dr. Cruz's clinical promise was recognized early. In 2023, he received the International Congress of Oral Implantologists Pre-Doctoral Student Achievement Award, a prestigious honor reserved for dental students demonstrating exceptional skill and commitment in the field of implantology. It was a fitting recognition for a dentist who had already made implants a cornerstone of his clinical focus.

Dr. Cruz is currently accepting new patients and would love to be your partner in a healthier, more confident smile. Schedule your appointment today!
