Dr. Martiza Chavez

Dentist

Dr. Maritza Chavez was raised in the Rio Grande Valley and provides quality dentistry for her patients. She treats each patient as an individual because she knows that each person is unique, with different healthcare needs, including oral care.

She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center. Upon her graduation in 2013, Dr. Chavez returned to the Rio Grande Valley where she has been practicing dentistry for nearly a decade.

Dr Chavez enjoys restoring patients’ smiles through procedures like crowns, bridges, and dental implant restorations, as well as cosmetic procedures like veneers and cosmetic bonding. She is also available to treat dental emergencies with procedures such as root canals and extractions.

Dr. Chavez believes in the many benefits of physical fitness; she has participated in races and endurance challenges, including the Rock N Roll 26.2 marathon and multiple half marathons. She’s also the proud mother of a beautiful daughter who she adores.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends and is an avid dog lover.

Legacy Dental is by far the best in Brownsville. Dr. Guerra Clements and her staff treated me with the best service ever. They are just amazing and treat you like family. Their waiting area is really high tech and top of the line. Thank you for a pleasant experience.

I visited legacy dental for he first time today and they gave me the best experience ever. They made my daughter visit memorable by personalizing it. They had a welcome sign took a picture and gave me a copy. Gave us a tour of the office and let my daughter know exactly what they were doing and what they were using. Totally will recommend.

"My review is more of a thank you, my son had a bad experience with a previous dentist, so he was scared to go to this visit and everyone in that office made him feel very special. I want to thank the 3 girls in the front desk you welcomed us like family, the manager was very friendly and went out if his way to make my son feel awesome, the staff in the back including the dentist were all very patient. My son now is looking forward to the next visit so thank you to each and every staff member, you guys are all so special!!!"
