DeLand has no shortage of implant marketing — one practice’s page even lists DeLand, Orange City, Deltona, and DeBary all on the same page, which tells you more about their ad strategy than their actual specialty. In a market this saturated, the credential that actually separates providers is a Fellowship.
DeLand — home to Stetson University and Florida's oldest private college, and known locally for its walkable historic downtown along Woodland Boulevard — has one of the most competitive dental implant markets in West Volusia County. A Fellowship is held by only 6% of dentists nationally, requiring 500+ hours of post-doctoral continuing education. Dr. Khezri has one — a credential the practice marketing itself across four cities on a single page doesn't mention, and neither do most others in this market. Dr. Khezri offers comprehensive implant care to patients throughout DeLand, Orange City, DeBary, Deltona, and the surrounding West Volusia County area.
A Fellowship-level provider has logged the case volume and examination hours to handle complications a less-experienced general dentist might not catch early — nerve proximity, insufficient bone density, sinus involvement. That's evaluated with in-office CT and 3D imaging before treatment is ever recommended, and you see your own scan during the consultation rather than taking someone's word for it.
Dr. Khezri's Mastership through the Academy of Implant Prosthetics covers both the surgical and prosthetic sides of implant care. That combination means DeLand patients get surgical placement and the final restoration from the same provider, instead of being referred out mid-treatment, which is common with general dentists who place a small volume of implants.
DeLand's mix of longtime homeowners and a rotating student population means a lot of missing-tooth cases get put off — a semester here, a ‘we'll deal with it later' there. The jawbone doesn't wait: without a root in place, it starts to resorb, and a simple single-implant case can turn into bone grafting territory within a couple of years.
A single-tooth implant is a titanium post plus a custom-matched crown — no impact on the teeth next to it. Missing several teeth calls for an implant-supported bridge. Missing most of your arch opens the door to full-arch restoration, including fixed bridges and implant-supported overdentures, options that hold far more securely than a removable denture.
For Stetson students, faculty, and DeLand residents without full dental coverage, Revive Dentistry's fee-for-service model pairs with Cherry and CareCredit 0% financing — a more predictable option than piecing together partial insurance coverage. Every implant case is planned individually, never on an insurance reimbursement schedule.
If you've compared three or four DeLand implant sites and they all sound the same, ask each one specifically about Fellowship and Academy of Implant Prosthetics credentials — not just ‘years of experience.' It's the fastest way to tell which providers have the training to back up the marketing.
Every implant case starts with in-office CT scanning and 3D digital imaging, evaluating bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus proximity before any incision. Patients see their own imaging during the consultation, which matters especially for anyone who’s had a confusing or rushed treatment plan explained at a high-volume practice.
Few DeLand implant providers combine a Fellowship (top 6% of dentists nationally, 500+ post-doctoral CE hours) with an Academy of Implant Prosthetics Mastership in one practice. Ask any provider you’re considering whether they hold either.
Every implant case is evaluated on its own anatomy and bone density from a CT scan, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. That individualized planning is what determines whether a case lasts or needs to be redone.
These are the questions we hear most from DeLand patients, including Stetson students and faculty.
Most adults who are missing one or more teeth are worth evaluating for implants. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant. The best way to know is through a consultation and CT scan, which gives Dr. Khezri the detailed 3D view needed to assess your specific anatomy and build a treatment plan around your situation.
With proper care, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. The implant itself is a titanium post that integrates with your jawbone. The crown placed on top may need to be replaced over time with normal wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping up with regular dental visits are the most important factors in long-term implant success.
Call us at (386) 775-4300, email Office@ReviveDentistryFL.com, or book online through our website. Dr. Khezri will take the time to review your options, answer your questions, and help you understand exactly what to expect — no pressure, just information.
Most standard dental insurance plans offer limited or no coverage for implants, as they're typically classified as a major restorative procedure. Some PPO plans may cover a portion after your deductible. Revive Dentistry works with Cigna and most major PPOs, and our team can help you understand your benefits. For patients without coverage, our in-house membership plan and third-party financing options — including 0% interest plans through Cherry and CareCredit — can make implants more manageable.
