To the referring dentist: Why you should work with me?

Implants and related surgeries are my true passion. I have spent the majority of my career and education to learning and practicing anything pertaining to implant dentistry. Educating your patients and seeing them through the surgical process, and preparing them for a smooth restorative process at your office, while maintaining the highest standards of care is my number one goal.

Education and teaching is my second passion. I collaborate with many general dentists who choose to do some implants themselves and provide mentorship & support.

To the patient: Why you should choose me?

I am one of only a select group of Board Certified Oral Implantologists in Northern California. The State of California recognizes this certification as the only true specialty dedicated exclusively to the practice of implant dentistry. Only about 500 dentists in the world, are Board Certified by the American Board of Oral Implantology.

I have been practicing the art of implant dentistry in San Francisco and more recently in Sacramento for close to 20 years. We are one of the extremely rare Implant surgical practices in the country that has its sole focus on surgical grafting and placement procedures related to Implant dentistry.

In addition, I dedicate some of efforts to teaching other clinicians the knowledge and skills related to implant surgery. My area of interest includes understanding the biology involved with bone grafting to better establish the foundations for dental implants. I have lectured nationally and internationally and always on the cutting edge of evaluating the most current techniques and materials.

Implant Placement

Feel and function like natural teeth

Obtaining an implant is a collaborative process between myself and your general dentist. The surgical is stage, is my part and the reconstructive stage is the part of your general dentist. The surgical procedure is performed to place a titanium implant in the empty tooth socket. Once you are ready for implant placement, you will be given antibiotics a week or so prior to the surgical appointment so as to reduce chances of any infection developing. In order to assure your comfort during the surgery, a couple of options will be discussed prior to the appointment.
