MAEX Vélez y Lozano is a multidisciplinary dentist in Murcia, Spain, with a particular clinical focus on implant dentistry, oral surgery and complex dental rehabilitation.
The Murcia centre is led by Dr. Fernando García Vélez and is located on Calle Salvador de Madariaga, close to Pabellón José Barnés and the ZigZag shopping and leisure area.
The clinic has recently expanded its facilities and now includes 12 treatment rooms, two waiting areas and private recovery spaces for patients undergoing longer or more involved procedures.
Dr. Fernando García Vélez – implant dentist in Murcia
Dr. Fernando García Vélez is the medical director and one of the founding dentists of Vélez y Lozano.
He graduated in Dentistry from the University of Murcia, where he received the Extraordinary Degree Award. His clinical practice is focused on dental surgery and implantology following further training at centres in Spain and abroad.
Dr. García Vélez has placed more than 5,000 dental implants in Murcia.
He is also the author of Implantología para pacientes and a member of the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Osseointegration, SEPA.
His implantology background makes the Murcia clinic particularly relevant for patients who need to replace missing teeth or who require a more extensive implant-supported reconstruction.
Dental implants with digital planning
Dental implant treatment at MAEX Vélez y Lozano can incorporate several digital diagnostic and planning technologies within the same clinic.
CBCT imaging provides three-dimensional information about the jawbone and nearby anatomical structures. An intraoral scanner can capture digital impressions without traditional impression material, while 3D printing can be incorporated into planning and treatment workflows.
For suitable implant cases, the clinic also uses guided implant surgery.
A digitally planned surgical guide can transfer the proposed implant position to the clinical procedure. This can be particularly useful when the position and angulation of an implant must correspond closely with the planned final restoration.
The clinic also provides implant-supported prosthetic treatment for patients requiring crowns, bridges or more extensive restorations supported by dental implants.
Assessment before implant treatment
Patients travelling to Murcia for implants can send a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT with their initial enquiry if they already have one.
The dental team needs to assess several factors before confirming an implant plan, including:
- available bone
- gum and periodontal health
- the number and position of missing teeth
- remaining natural teeth
- previous implants or restorations
- the proposed final prosthesis
- relevant medical history
A remote review can help with preliminary planning, but the definitive diagnosis is made after clinical assessment.
Some patients may need treatment of existing dental or periodontal problems before implant surgery can proceed.
Veneers and aesthetic dentistry at MAEX Murcia
MAEX Vélez y Lozano also provides aesthetic dentistry, including dental veneers and cosmetic restorations.
Rather than treating aesthetics independently from oral health, the clinic assesses the teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work before planning cosmetic treatment.
Digital impressions and restorative planning can help the dentist evaluate tooth proportions and the relationship between the proposed restorations and the existing smile.
This is particularly relevant when a patient is considering treatment of several visible teeth rather than a single isolated restoration.
Where natural teeth can be preserved, the treatment plan can also consider conservative restorative alternatives rather than automatically covering healthy teeth.
Complex dental rehabilitation
One of the more distinctive areas of the Murcia clinic is the combination of implant surgery and restorative dentistry within a multidisciplinary setting.
Some patients do not need one isolated procedure. They may have missing teeth, failing restorations, gum problems and teeth that require endodontic or restorative treatment at the same time.
MAEX Vélez y Lozano can coordinate different dental disciplines within one clinic, including:
- implantology
- implant-supported prosthetics
- oral surgery
- periodontics
- restorative dentistry
- aesthetic dentistry
- orthodontics
- microscopic endodontics
This makes it possible to plan the sequence of treatment before beginning a more extensive reconstruction.
Microscopic endodontics and retreatment
The Murcia clinic has a dental microscope for endodontic procedures.
Magnification and illumination can help the dentist locate and work within the root canal system during difficult root canal treatment or endodontic retreatment.
MAEX Vélez y Lozano also treats cases where a previously root-treated tooth requires reassessment.
For patients considering extraction and an implant, this type of specialist assessment can be relevant because some compromised teeth may first be evaluated to determine whether preservation remains possible.
Conscious sedation for longer dental procedures
Conscious sedation is available at the Murcia clinic for selected patients.
It can be considered when dental anxiety makes treatment difficult or when a longer surgical procedure would otherwise be uncomfortable for the patient.
Patients who are particularly nervous about implant surgery or who believe sedation may be necessary should mention this when making their NewHolidays enquiry.
Suitability must be assessed individually before sedation is planned.
More than implants and cosmetic dentistry
Although implants and complex rehabilitation are important areas of the clinic, the Murcia team covers a broader range of dental specialties.
Current services include oral surgery, periodontal treatment, traditional orthodontics, clear aligners, restorative dentistry, paediatric dentistry, dental prosthetics and endodontic retreatment.
The clinic also performs dental autotransplantation in selected cases, a less commonly offered procedure in which a patient’s own suitable tooth may be repositioned to another site.
The treatment proposed will depend on the clinical diagnosis rather than on choosing a procedure before the examination.
The MAEX Vélez y Lozano facilities
The clinic has undergone an expansion and currently has 12 dental treatment rooms.
There are two separate waiting areas as well as private recovery areas, which can be particularly useful following surgery or longer procedures.
Digital technology available at the Murcia centre includes:
- CBCT
- 3D dental radiography
- intraoral scanning
- 3D printing
- CAD-CAM planning
- guided implant surgery
- dental microscopy
- cephalometric radiography
Having diagnostic, planning and treatment technology available within the same clinic can simplify the different stages of more complex dental cases.
First appointment at the Murcia clinic
An initial appointment normally lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
It can include a review of medical and dental history, full oral examination, photographs and radiographic assessment when required.
The dental team then explains the diagnosis and the proposed treatment plan.
The clinic currently lists the fee for the initial visit as €30.
Patients travelling specifically from abroad should arrange their assessment before making fixed travel plans for complex treatment, since the number of visits can vary considerably between cases.
MAEX Vélez y Lozano reviews
MAEX Vélez y Lozano has accumulated a large volume of patient feedback.
Its current clinic profile shows an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 from more than 1,100 reviews.
The volume of reviews is useful when researching a dental clinic, although reviews cannot predict the outcome of an individual procedure. Diagnosis, treatment complexity and each patient’s clinical situation remain different.

Travelling to Murcia for dental treatment

For implant or extensive restorative cases, useful information can include a panoramic X-ray or CBCT, photographs of the teeth, details of previous dental work and an explanation of the main problem.
It is also useful to state:
- which treatment you are considering
- whether any teeth are painful or mobile
- whether you already have implants
- your preferred travel dates
- how many days you can stay in Murcia
- whether you are particularly anxious about dental treatment
This allows the enquiry to be directed to the appropriate part of the dental team.
