Welcome to the Dental Implant Institute (DII), where your smile is our priority. We know how important it is to trust your dental care to true professionals with the experience and expertise necessary to deliver exceptional results.
That’s why we are proud to introduce you to our team of experts, led by Dr. Jennifer Cha and Dr. Leon Chen, two pioneers in dental implantology and restorative care.
Our experts are dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care that addresses your specific dental needs with the highest level of expertise.
Dr. Jennifer Cha, DMD, MS, DICOI, DADIA, is a board-certified periodontist and the driving force behind the Dental Implant Institute. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Cha has dedicated her career to advancing dental implantology, offering innovative solutions that transform patients’ smiles and lives. As a Diplomat of the International Board of Oral Implantologists, she is one of only three dentists in Las Vegas to hold this esteemed distinction.
Dr. Cha’s extensive educational background includes a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Washington University School of Dentistry, a Master’s degree in Oral Biology, and a Certificate in Periodontics from Northwestern University. Her expertise in dental implants, particularly in full-mouth reconstruction, allows her to tackle the most complex dental cases with precision and care.
Her groundbreaking 5-in-1 technique has revolutionized the dental implant process, allowing patients to undergo five procedures in a single visit, including non-traumatic extraction, implant placement, bone grafting, abutment placement, and temporary tooth fitting—all in just one hour. This innovation reduces pain, healing time, and the need for multiple appointments, making it an ideal solution for patients seeking quick yet effective results.
At DII, Dr. Cha believes in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. She dedicates time to each patient, crafting customized treatment plans designed to restore oral health and confidence. From general cleanings to complex reconstructive surgeries, her goal is to provide comprehensive care that meets each patient’s unique needs.
Dr. Leon Chen, DMD, MS, DICOI, DADIA, is a world-renowned implantologist and the visionary behind many of the groundbreaking techniques used at DII. He is the inventor of the Hydraulic Sinus Condensing™ technique, which offers a minimally invasive sinus lift that allows for successful dental implant placement even in patients with low bone density. This revolutionary approach has been adopted by professionals worldwide and has earned him recognition in prestigious journals such as the Journal of Periodontology.
With a background that includes teaching roles at Harvard University and Northwestern University, Dr. Chen has earned the respect of peers and students alike. He has placed over 30,000 dental implants throughout his career, perfecting procedures that ensure faster healing times, higher success rates, and more comfortable experiences for patients.
Dr. Chen’s work doesn’t stop at dental implants. His Vertical Translation™ technique for cosmetic root and implant coverage has reshaped the field of periodontal surgery. By combining five surgeries into one, Dr. Chen’s methods allow patients to achieve full mouth reconstruction with less pain, reduced healing time, and long-lasting results. His innovations continue to redefine the limits of dental surgery, providing patients with cutting-edge care that is second to none.
At DII, Dr. Chen and his team are committed to ensuring you receive the highest standard of care. Whether you are dealing with a dental emergency, gum disease, or missing teeth, Dr. Chen’s innovative techniques and compassionate approach will leave you smiling with confidence.
When you trust the Dental Implant Institute with your care, you are choosing a team that prioritizes your comfort and success. Our specialists work together to provide holistic treatment plans that not only restore oral function but also enhance your overall well-being.
