A board-certified surgical prosthodontist specializing in advanced implant surgery, full-arch reconstruction, and complex restorative care.
Why It Matters
Specialty training matters most for complex implant cases.
What Is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is the dental equivalent of a medical specialist — like a cardiologist compared to a general practitioner. While general dentists are trained in standard dentistry, prosthodontists complete an additional three-year residency specifically focused on dental implants, prosthetics, and complex restorative care. At Winplants in San Diego, Dr. Winfield brings over 10 years of specialist experience helping patients restore their smile, their function, and their confidence.
Board Certification: What It Means for You
Becoming a board-certified prosthodontist through the American Board of Prosthodontics requires passing rigorous examinations that test surgical skill, restorative judgment, and case management across the full spectrum of advanced dental cases. According to the American Board of Prosthodontics, fewer than 3,000 prosthodontists hold this certification in the United States — making board-certified specialists among the rarest and most qualified professionals you can choose for your dental care.
Why It Matters for Complex Procedures
For high-stakes procedures like All-on-X full-arch implants, zygomatic implants, and full-mouth reconstruction, a board-certified prosthodontist offers significantly more expertise — and more predictable outcomes — than a general dentist who has added implant training through a continuing education course. When the procedure is complex and the stakes are high, specialist training is not a bonus; it is the baseline.
One Specialist. One Patient. Every Time.
At Advanced Implant Specialist in San Diego, every procedure — from initial consultation through final restoration — is performed by Dr. Winfield personally. No referrals to junior associates. No corporate, assembly-line approach. Just one dedicated specialist who sees your case from start to finish.

For complex implant procedures, training and certification matter enormously. Here’s how the two compare.
Restoring a smile is about more than aesthetics — it is about confidence, health, and the ability to show up in the world without hesitation or embarrassment. Whether I am completing a full-arch transformation, a zygomatic implant case, or rebuilding a smile someone has hidden for years, that emotional shift in a patient is something I never take for granted.
I am also drawn to the unique blend of technology, artistry, and precision that prosthodontics demands. Every case is different, and the ability to combine advanced digital planning, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and implant surgery to create a fully custom solution is what makes this specialty so rewarding. For patients in San Diego who have been told their case is too complex or who have struggled to find the right specialist, that precision and personalisation is exactly what Winplants was built to deliver.
