Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero is the Medical Director and lead implantologist at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia. She holds a degree in Dentistry from the University of Valencia and is registered with the College of Dentists and Stomatologists of Valencia under number 46002287. With over 30 years in private practice and more than 5,000 implants placed, she leads the clinical team responsible for the All-on-4, zygomatic implant, and full-arch rehabilitation cases that patients travel from the UK to receive.
Dr. Asensio has been treating international patients — including a significant number from the United Kingdom — for over two decades. She is fluent in English and leads consultations with UK patients directly, without the need for an interpreter. Her clinical focus for visiting patients centres on complex implantology: cases involving bone loss, failed previous implants, full-arch rehabilitation, and patients who have been told treatment is not possible elsewhere.
The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification from AENOR, independently auditing clinical processes and facilities. Dr. Asensio is a member of the Spanish Society of Orthodontics and the European Association of Oral Medicine (EAOM), and is listed on Top Doctors and Doctoralia. Her work has been featured in regional press including Las Provincias and Levante-emv.

Experience treating UK patients
The majority of international patients at Asensio Advanced Dentistry travel from the United Kingdom. Most arrive having already researched their treatment options in the UK and seeking a combination of clinical expertise and significant cost savings — particularly for full-arch implant treatment such as All-on-4, where UK costs typically exceed £15,000 per arch compared to £6,480 at Asensio.
Dr. Asensio’s experience with UK patients covers the full range of implant complexity. A significant proportion of cases involve patients who have been declined treatment elsewhere due to bone loss, have had previous implant failures, or require full arch rehabilitation after years of denture use. The clinic’s access to 3D CBCT diagnostic imaging and in-house surgical facilities allows complex cases to be assessed and treated without referral.
