CAREER HISTORY

When Dr. Mayeda started his practice in 1977, cosmetic and implant dentistry were not even on the dental horizon.  Anticipating an emerging trend that would revolutionize dentistry, he saw the importance of integrating cosmetic and implant procedures into his practice.  Dr. Mayeda became one of the first dentists trained by the legendary pioneer of implant surgery Dr. Carl Misch at the Misch International Implant Institute.

Since 1988, Dr. Mayeda has surgically placed and restored thousands of implants.  Over the past ten years, he saw how digital applications would be the next wave changing the practice of dentistry,  In his practice, he successfully integrated CADCAM and cone beam technology into treatment planning, surgical placement and implant restorations.

After 40 years in practice, national dental consultants considered Dr. Mayeda's practice in the top two percent of the most successful practices in the nation.
