When Dr. Tijerina was a young adult, he was finally able to get much-needed jaw surgery. He went through a series of appointments with several dentists, including an orthodontist and an oral surgeon.

After completing his undergraduate degree at The University of Texas-Pan American, Dr. Tijerina pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston. Today, he is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and is always looking for new continuing education opportunities to expand his clinical skills.
