A missing tooth rarely stays a one-tooth problem. Without a root to stimulate it, the jawbone under the gap begins to shrink, neighboring teeth drift toward the space, and chewing gets harder. If you are comparing dental implants in Deltona, the most useful questions are who places the implant, who builds the crown, and whether your plan is based on your own 3D scan.
Dr. Omid Khezri leads Revive Dentistry in Orange City, a short drive from Deltona. He earned his dental degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2016, holds a Fellowship and a Mastership through the Academy of Implant Prosthetics, and plans, places, and restores implants in one office.

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, about 5.9% of U.S. adults ages 50 to 64 have lost all of their natural teeth, which is one reason full-arch planning comes up often for adults in their fifties and sixties.
When a root is no longer in place, the bone around it loses the stimulation it needs and gradually resorbs. That can change how your bite fits together and, over time, the shape of your face. A case that could have been a single implant may become a bone grafting case if replacement is delayed for a year or two.
Deltona's more than 100,000 residents are spread across dozens of neighborhoods, from Lake Monroe down to Providence Boulevard, which leaves plenty of room for a missing-tooth case to be put off for a year while life gets in the way.
The right option depends on how many teeth are missing and how much bone remains. Dr. Khezri confirms this with a CT scan before recommending anything.
Each option can be planned and completed in the same office, so you do not repeat your history with a second provider.
Many Deltona patients are weighing implants against the other ways to replace teeth. This comparison covers the points that tend to matter most. Upfront cost is usually higher for implants, which is why we walk through the full picture of cost and longevity before you decide.
| Dental implant | Fixed bridge | Removable denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replaces the tooth root | Yes | No | No |
| Helps preserve jawbone | Yes, through the implant root | No | No |
| Needs support from neighboring teeth | No | Yes, they are reshaped | Often, for partials |
| Removed for cleaning | No (fixed options) | No | Yes |
| Typical upfront cost | Higher | Moderate | Lower |
Treatment moves in stages, and nothing moves forward until you understand the plan and feel ready.
Dr. Khezri teaches patients to read their own X-rays, so each step has a reason you can see for yourself.
If a CT scan shows limited bone, grafting may be recommended before or during placement. Revive Dentistry also offers platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, which is made from a small sample of your own blood and may support healing around grafts and extraction sites. Whether you need either is decided after your scan and exam, never in advance.
At many practices, one office places the implant and a second office makes the crown, which means two rounds of history, planning, and coordination. Dr. Khezri's Mastership is built around handling both the surgical and prosthetic sides together, so the implant position is planned around the final tooth from day one. Learn more about Dr. Khezri's training, our oral surgery services, or our in-house CT and 3D imaging.
Our in-house CT and 3D imaging maps bone density, nerve position, and sinus proximity before treatment starts, and you see your own scan during the consultation.
Dr. Khezri’s Fellowship is held by about 6% of dentists nationally and requires 500 or more hours of post-doctoral continuing education. His Mastership through the Academy of Implant Prosthetics covers surgical and prosthetic care.
Placement and the final restoration happen with the same dentist, so the implant is positioned with the finished tooth in mind and you never repeat your history.
Implant cost depends on how many implants you need, whether grafting is involved, and the type of restoration. Many dental plans cover implants only in part or not at all, so our team reviews your benefits with you before treatment begins. Revive Dentistry is primarily a fee-for-service practice, so your plan is built around your clinical needs and not around a network reimbursement schedule.
For out-of-pocket costs, we offer an in-house membership plan and financing through Cherry and CareCredit. You can see the details on our financing options page.
Answers to what Deltona patients ask most when they are considering dental implants.
Most adults who are missing one or more teeth are worth evaluating. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. At Revive Dentistry, Dr. Khezri confirms this with a 3D CT scan and addresses any gum health concerns first, so Deltona patients get a plan based on their own anatomy.
With good hygiene and regular visits, many implants can last for decades. The titanium post fuses with the jawbone, while the crown on top may need to be replaced after years of normal wear. Daily care and checkups are the biggest factors in how long an implant lasts.
Yes. Dr. Khezri handles both the surgical placement and the final restoration, so Deltona patients are not referred to a second office partway through treatment.
Our office is at 272 E Graves Ave in Orange City, a short drive north of Deltona. We also welcome patients from DeBary and DeLand.
Many dental plans cover implants only in part or not at all, because they are often classified as a major restorative procedure. Our team will review your benefits with you before treatment. Cherry and CareCredit financing and our in-house membership plan are available for the remaining cost.
A denture rests on the gums and is removed for cleaning, while an implant replaces the tooth root and is fixed in place. Implants can help preserve the jawbone, and an implant-supported overdenture gives denture wearers a more secure fit. Dr. Khezri can walk you through which option fits your situation.
Dr. Khezri has completed the requirements for a Fellowship and a Mastership, and he plans every implant case from your own 3D scan so you can see what he sees before agreeing to treatment.
