When you are facing dental implants — especially a full arch or a full-mouth rebuild — the most important question is not just which implant system your dentist uses. It is who plans the case, who places the implants, and who stands behind the final smile.
In most practices, that answer is split across two or three doctors: a surgeon places the implants, a restorative dentist designs the teeth, and you hope the handoff between them is seamless. At Expert Dental Group in Roseville, Dr. Leila Nikpour collapses that entire chain into one specialist.
A prosthodontist trained in surgery, too
Prosthodontists are the recognized specialists of tooth restoration and replacement — the doctors other dentists refer to when a case is too complex for routine care. Dr. Nikpour went further than most: she trained in the surgical side of implant dentistry as well as the restorative side.
Her training path, as stated by the practice:
Surgical implantology fellowship in France. Before her residency even began, Dr. Nikpour completed a one-year implantology fellowship in France, training in surgical implantology under world-renowned implant surgeons.
Prosthodontics residency at Nova Southeastern University. She then completed her residency in prosthodontics at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, earning an Honors Master of Science in Prosthodontics.
Dr. Nikpour brings more than 15 years of dentistry experience, devoted entirely to restoring and replacing teeth.
2,500+ successful dental implants placed — planned digitally with in-house 3D CBCT imaging, so bone, nerves, and bite are mapped in three dimensions before treatment begins.
Recognized as a Top Dentist in Northern Virginia and a Top Implantology Provider in 2022.
That combination — a surgical fellowship plus a prosthodontic residency — is exactly what complex implant cases demand, and it is the foundation of every full-arch case at Expert Dental Group.
Why one doctor for surgery and restoration matters
When the same specialist designs your final smile and places the implants that support it, nothing gets lost in translation:
- One plan, one doctor accountable. The surgical placement is driven by the design of your final teeth — not the other way around.
- 3D-guided precision. Every case is mapped digitally before surgery, so implant position serves both long-term bone health and the aesthetics of your smile.
- Built for complex cases. All-on-4 full-arch restoration and full-mouth rehabilitation are where this dual training matters most — these are the treatments general dentists routinely refer out to a specialist.
