Dental implants mimic natural teeth in function, appearance and structure more closely than any other tooth replacement. Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium screws and highly esthetic, natural-looking crowns, bridges or full arch restorations. Like teeth, dental implants rely on healthy bone for support and integrate with the jaw for unparalleled stability and solid biting function. Dental implants can replace any number of failing or missing teeth to fully restore eating and speaking abilities and an attractive, complete smile. Given the life-changing benefits offered, it is easy to understand why dental implants are regarded as the gold standard in tooth replacement today among Cape Coral, FL, patients.

I was born in Colombia and came to the US in 1982, growing up in Hollywood, FL, before leaving to Gainesville to complete my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have a bachelors degree in microbiology, a masters degree in nutritional science, and a DMD.
I have four beautiful boys and, when not practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending all my time with my boys and my awesome wife. I am involved in coaching soccer with one of my boys. I also enjoy road cycling and try to do group rides on most weekends.
I enjoy what I do and strive to have a positive outcome on the oral health of my patients. I believe in investing in technology to have better and more efficient equipment for my patients. I have invested in laser dental equipment, CAD/CAM dentistry, and dental cone beam for better planning and diagnosis.
