About This Provider
Dr. Luis A. Cueva Jr. is a board-certified orofacial pain specialist who has practiced exclusively in TMJ disorders and orofacial pain management since 1988. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in Guadalajara, Mexico, then completed a fellowship in orofacial pain at UCLA Medical School, where he concentrated on head, neck, jaw, and TMJ pain. He holds Diplomate status from the American Board of Orofacial Pain (Certification #ABOP1139), a national board credential reflecting advanced clinical expertise across the full spectrum of jaw and facial pain conditions. Dr. Cueva has contributed to clinical research and co-authored published articles on headache and myofascial pain. His Tucson practice has never divided its focus between general dentistry and specialty care. Every patient visit, every imaging decision, and every treatment plan centers on orofacial pain. He travels monthly to a satellite office in Yuma, Arizona to serve patients in that region. Patients who have seen multiple providers without finding relief consistently describe Dr. Cueva as the clinician who refuses to stop working until he finds what helps.
