Dr. Lilia Ferral

DDS, MS  Board-Certified Periodontist

LANAP® & IV Sedation Certified | Bilingual (English & Spanish)

Dr. Lilia Ferral is a board-certified periodontist dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care with a strong focus on preserving natural teeth and restoring oral health. She earned her Master of Science and Certificate in Periodontics from The Ohio State University in 2021 and is certified by the American Board of Periodontology. Dr. Ferral is also a member of the American Academy of Periodontology and holds Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) certifications.

After earning her DDS from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2015, Dr. Ferral began teaching dental students in an extraction clinic, where she discovered both a passion for education and a deeper appreciation for preserving natural teeth. After completing her training, she practiced in San Antonio and briefly joined the faculty at UT Health before finding her professional home in Leander, where she now proudly serves the community.

Her clinical expertise includes advanced periodontal therapy, including soft tissue grafting, dental implant surgery, extractions, LANAP® laser treatment, and IV sedation. She was recognized with a Clinical Excellence Award during her time with a large group dental practice and continues to uphold those standards at Niva Dental Specialists, where she utilizes advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques to provide tailored, comfortable care for every patient.

Dr. Ferral is passionate about helping patients maintain their oral health through prevention, education, and individualized, evidence-based treatment. When tooth preservation is no longer an option, she offers implant therapy to restore function, aesthetics, and long-term well-being.

Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Ferral enjoys spending time outdoors—especially walking her dog, glamping, and grilling. She values quality time with her spouse, friends, and family, often hosting gatherings and weekend getaways. While she lightheartedly admits that cooking isn’t her strongest skill, she enjoys discovering meals that pair well with a good glass of wine.
