About

Dr. Santiago Lopez, DDS is a dentist practicing in Plantation, Florida. He provides comprehensive dentistry, including dental exams, cosmetic procedures like porcelain veneers and Invisalign, and implant dentistry. Dr. Lopez is skilled in bone and tissue regeneration.

He notes that gums heal well around ceramic implants, contributing to a natural aesthetic. Ceramic implants, being all white, are designed to look beautiful and natural, particularly when compared to titanium implants where dark gray metal can show through thin or receding gums.
