When You Want the Best, You Travel for It
Most patients find a dentist near home. Some patients find out who’s actually the best — and then they make a trip.
Dr. Arun K. Garg is not a typical implant dentist. He is the surgeon other dentists turn to when they want to learn. He has trained more than 20,000 dental professionals worldwide, authored nine textbooks that shape how implant surgery is taught and practiced, and spent over two decades on the faculty of the University of Miami — one of the country’s leading medical programs.
Patients who discover this choose to travel. From across South Florida. From the Northeast and the Midwest. From Latin America, Europe, and beyond. They come because they know that access to this level of surgical experience and clinical judgment is rare — and because they understand that an implant placed the first time correctly is worth the trip.
Implant Textbooks & Publications
When dentists around the world want to learn implant surgery and bone grafting, they turn to Dr. Garg’s published works. He has authored nine books on implant dentistry, bone biology, and advanced surgical technique — texts that have been translated into multiple languages and distributed globally.
This matters to patients because it represents a depth of knowledge that most practitioners simply do not possess. Dr. Garg doesn’t just perform procedures — he has spent decades thinking carefully about why certain approaches succeed long-term and others fail. That understanding informs every treatment plan and every surgical decision made on your behalf.
20,000 Dentists Trained
Dr. Garg has personally trained more than 20,000 dental professionals through hands-on surgical programs, advanced courses, live-patient workshops, and international speaking engagements at gatherings of the American Academy of Periodontology, the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and the International Dental Implant Association, among others.
His Garg Institute offers ongoing education to general dentists seeking to master implant placement, bone grafting, regenerative techniques, and advanced restorative protocols — programs currently delivered in Miami, Phoenix, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and at dental offices across the country.
What patients understand when they learn this: the person placing their implant is not someone who took a weekend course. He is the person who taught the weekend course — and then spent the rest of his career advancing the science beyond it.
20+ Years at One of America’s Leading Medical Programs
For more than two decades, Dr. Garg served as a full-time professor of surgery in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine — one of the nation’s most respected medical institutions. He also directed the residency training program, shaping the clinical education of surgeons who now practice across the country.
He was frequently recognized as faculty member of the year by his residents — a distinction awarded by the very surgeons he trained.
This academic career built a foundation of surgical rigor, evidence-based decision-making, and a commitment to outcomes that patients at Center for Dental Implants benefit from every day.
Pioneer in Bone Grafting and Biologic Techniques
Dental implant success depends heavily on what happens before and beneath the implant — the quality and quantity of bone, the preservation of tissue, and the techniques used to create a stable long-term foundation. Dr. Garg is considered the world’s foremost authority on bone biology, bone harvesting, and bone grafting for dental implant surgery.
He has helped pioneer biological approaches — including advanced grafting protocols, sinus lift procedures, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapies — that improve healing, preserve healthy structure, and maximize the longevity of implant outcomes. These are not experimental techniques. They are evidence-based methods he has researched, refined, and taught to tens of thousands of dental professionals around the world.
For patients with bone loss, failed implants, or complex restorative needs, this level of expertise is not optional — it’s essential.
Complex Cases Completed Without Referrals
Because of the breadth of Dr. Garg’s surgical and restorative expertise, Center for Dental Implants can manage the full scope of even the most complex implant cases entirely in-house — including:
- Full-arch implant rehabilitation (All-on-X)
- Bone grafting and ridge augmentation
- Sinus lift procedures
- Implant-supported bridges and dentures
- Digital Smile Design and guided implant surgery
- Same-day implant restorations using in-house CAD/CAM technology
For patients who have been told their case is “too complicated” elsewhere, or who have been bounced between multiple specialists, Dr. Garg’s practice often provides a single, seamless path to resolution.
What Patients Say About Coming From Out of Town
Patients travel to Center for Dental Implants from across the United States and internationally for cases that include:
- Second opinions on complex implant plans proposed elsewhere
- Full-arch reconstruction after multiple implant failures
- Advanced bone grafting for patients told they “don’t have enough bone”
- Complete smile restorations requiring surgical and restorative expertise at the same level
For many, the experience of being treated by someone at Dr. Garg’s level — and receiving that care in a practice built around privacy, precision, and concierge-level service — exceeds what they expected to find anywhere.
For patients traveling from outside South Florida, the practice is conveniently accessible from Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with three office locations in Aventura, Hallandale Beach, and Pembroke Pines.
