Oral Implantology

After receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University, Dr. Samuel Sauza entered one of the most prestigious postgraduate programs for residency, training, and research in the field of oral implantology, where he served for 3 years. Loma Linda University is one of the few formal institutions offering degrees in implant dentistry, where its full time residents learn both surgical and prosthodontic principles in-depth, promoting whole patient care.

Having achieved his specialty training certificate in Oral Implantology, Dr. Sauza has continued to develop extensive post-graduate practical experience in the practice of oral-dentoalveolar surgery, the placement of conventional and advanced remote anchorage implants, bone grafting and tissue regeneration techniques, and the design of implant prosthetics utilized in partial and full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Sauza has treated a wide variety of patients and conditions over the years, with the majority of his work being focused on full arch implant dentistry and resolving complex cases encountered by his colleagues throughout California.

Utilizing his training in the most state-of-the-art techniques, Dr. Sauza is able to provide his patients with efficient and comprehensive solutions for treatment. Patients under Dr. Sauza’s care can expect to experience a palpable level of empathy, understanding, and attention to detail that is unique to him and his practice.

One all-inclusive price

Teeth in a Day includes the surgery, temporary and final zirconia teeth, sedation, and every post-op visit. The total you confirm at your consultation is the total you pay.

Your smile is made in the building

Full-time technicians design, mill, and finish your zirconia teeth in our own lab, so adjustments happen the same day instead of waiting on a shipment.
