Complex dentistry deserves focused experience.
Dr. Barriere plans, places and restores every implant himself. He trained as a surgeon, keeps training, and built the practice around the tools that make the work predictable.
How a dentist becomes a surgeon.
Dental school
Dr. Barriere completed his dental training at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
Surgical residency
He then chose an optional yearlong surgical residency through NYU Langone Hospital, the training that underpins the grafting, extraction and implant work the practice is known for.
Continuing education
More than a thousand hours since, in implant and cosmetic dentistry: full-arch protocols, guided and robotic surgery, sedation, laser periodontics and digital smile design.
The memberships
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the American Dental Association.
No matter how much experience he gains, he has committed to never stop learning. In one recent year that meant more than three hundred hours of it.
Most recently that training was on the Yomi® robot, which now assists in his implant surgeries. Continuing education is not a line on a page here. It is the practice’s operating principle.
What he insists on.
The habits of the practice, in the order a patient meets them.
- 01A 3D scan before any planNothing is decided from a flat X-ray or a guess.
- 02Guided placementYomi® robotic guidance or a printed guide. No free-hand implants.
- 03One surgeon, start to finishThe person who plans places, and the person who places restores.
- 04Comfort as a clinical goalSedation, blankets, headphones, and a team that expects nervous patients.
- 05Honest candidacyFree second opinions, including telling you when to wait.
- 06A warrantyOne year on the materials of every implant placed.
On your team, not just in your chart.
“Dr. Barriere is a dentist who sees a long-term vision for my dental health. He’s on my team, advising me on my behalf.” Peter Chang, Google review.
Patients drive from Central California for their implants. Others come after a failing implant placed elsewhere, or after being told there was not enough bone. The consultation is the same for all of them: a scan, an honest read, and a plan you can see on screen.
