Dr. Peter K. Moy

Dr. Moy has over 30 years of experience in Implant Dentistry and has focused on reconstructing jawbones that have insufficient bone volume to support dental implants. Dr. Moy trained under Professor P-I Branemark, the innovator and developer of surgical techniques for placement of dental implants. Dr. Moy is the first holder of the Nobel Biocare Endowed Chair in Surgical Implant Dentistry in UCLA's School of Dentistry and directs two international training programs in Implant Dentistry.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Dr. Moy has an international reputation as an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and authority in Implant Dentistry. He has taught in UCLA's School of Dentistry for 35 years and provided training and education to surgeons from around the world. The doctors that trained under me have referred me their most difficult cases requiring reconstruction and dental implants.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

1.) Placement of dental implants in the Esthetic Zone (front, upper jaw). 2.) Bone graft augmentation to build up deficient jaw ridges using the latest biologic materials such as growth factors, bone morphogenetic proteins, and autogenous bone. 3.) Immediate loading of dental implants using guided software planning programs, guided surgery, and CADCAM-generated bridges.

What are you proud of in your practice?

My practice has the state-of-the-art x-ray equipment, monitors, and computer technologies to provide patients with the highest standard of care. Our staff members are patient-centric focusing on making you as comfortable as possible during your treatment. We make every effort to have your visits go as smoothly and as accommodating to your needs as possible.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy treating the patient who requires restoration of both function and esthetics who has been debilitated due to tooth loss. It is thrilling to watch my patients transform from an introverted, unhappy patient into one who is outgoing and can not hold back a smile.
