Implantologist Dr. James Khazian — Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry — has placed dental implants in San Diego since 1989 and runs Dental Implant Centers from his cornerstone Hillcrest office at 3969 Fourth Ave Suite 205. Patients arrive after losing teeth to trauma, periodontal disease, or failed restorations completed at general practices such as Hillcrest Dental Arts | Rebecca A. Marsh, DDS, and Dr. Khazian handles both the surgical implant placement and the prosthetic restoration in one office without external referrals. His cosmetic implant work has been featured on the cover of the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and he has appeared on MDTV News and Heartbeat of America discussing implantology. Esthetic-zone single-tooth implant cases use a flapless surgical technique that avoids sutures, distinguishing the workflow from traditional flap-based protocols used at general dental offices such as Farshin Farokhian, DDS. The signature procedure is All-On-4 Teeth in a Day — full-arch immediate-load implant reconstruction in which four strategically angled implants are surgically placed and a fixed temporary prosthesis is delivered the same morning, replacing an entire upper or lower arch in a single clinical visit.
