Trust Your Prosthodontist’s Advanced Implant Expertise

Trust Your Prosthodontist's Advanced Implant Expertise

A prosthodontist is like an artist for your teeth. This type of expert understands the complexity of your entire mouth structure and jaw. You can expect top-notch work that will give you new teeth that feel and function like natural ones. Dr. Raj Jivraj is an experienced prosthodontist and teaches other experts in his field. His book about implant procedures, Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient, has been used by over 15,000 dentists worldwide.

Dr. Jivraj also co-wrote the textbook, Treatment Planning in Implant Dentistry, published by the British Dental Association and released with a second edition in Jan. 2025. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Clinical Dentistry at the USC School of Dentistry and a Clinical Teacher at the Eastman Dental Institute in London. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the British Academy of Restorative Dentistry. In these positions, he mentors future dentists and prosthodontists.

You can expect many advantages by visiting Dr. Jivraj:

  • Advanced Techniques - You will receive the most cutting-edge treatment techniques. For example, to replace an entire arch of teeth with implants, ​​Dr. Jivraj will use the All-on-4 method. However, if you need more than four implants to support your custom restorations, he will place more. That's the sort of expert decision that should be made by a trusted prosthodontist.

I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

Common Questions About the Prosthodontist Difference

Why should i see a prosthodontist?

Seeing a prosthodontist for dental implants is ideal for many reasons. They are specialists in tooth replacement, offering their expertise and personalized treatment solutions. Your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, considering things like your jaw health and overall facial structure. This type of specialist also has extensive education on implant treatments that go far beyond dental school. Visiting a prosthodontist for dental implants means you receive top-tier care for your smile.

What is the difference between a general dentist and a prosthodontist?

A general dentist has completed four years of dental school in addition to their undergraduate work. After dental school, a prosthodontist has gone on to complete at least three years of additional training in prosthodontics. Dr. Jivraj has gone above and beyond the education typically called for this type of specialty, making him an expert in his field.

Does it cost more to visit a prosthodontist?

This question is easier to answer during a consultation. However, for the most part, the cost of your implant procedure can depend on factors like how many teeth are missing and how you intend to restore your implants (with a dental crown, dental bridge, full dentures, or partial dentures). No matter what, we will make sure you know all your options and costs before heading into your procedure. In addition to being in-network with many insurance providers, we have third-party financing available.
