Read full description

Legacy Dental Pasadena is at unit 1, 1213 North Lake Avenue in the North Central neighbourhood of Pasadena — on the North Lake Avenue commercial corridor running north from downtown Pasadena through established residential communities in northern Pasadena. The practice is led by Drs. Sean Sunyoto and Justin Cho, with a stated specialty focus on implant dentistry: over 1,000 implants have been placed at this address using guided implant surgery and digital treatment planning.

Guided implant surgery uses a virtual treatment plan — developed from a cone beam CT scan and digital impressions — to create a surgical guide that directs implant placement at precisely the planned position, angulation, and depth. The advantage over freehand placement is that the guide ensures the implant is positioned to emerge at the crown level the restorative plan requires, regardless of surgical visibility at the time of placement. Placing over 1,000 implants with this guided approach indicates a practice that has refined the digital planning and guide fabrication workflow into a consistent protocol rather than using guided surgery selectively for complex cases.

All-on-X full-arch implant reconstruction is a stated clinical specialty — the technique of restoring an entire jaw arch with a fixed prosthesis supported by four to six strategically placed implants. All-on-X cases are among the most technically demanding in implant dentistry, requiring full-arch surgical planning, occlusal design across the complete arch, and prosthetic fabrication that integrates with both the implant positions and the residual bone topography. The stated expertise in this procedure reflects the case volume and digital planning infrastructure needed to manage full-arch cases consistently.

Implant-supported bridges and single-tooth implants complete the implant spectrum from individual tooth replacement through multi-unit bridge cases to full-arch reconstruction. Crown restorations, crowns and bridges, and general dentistry round out the service profile, covering the restorative work that follows implant placement.

For Pasadena patients in the North Central neighbourhood and across the San Gabriel Valley who need implant placement — whether single-tooth, multi-unit, or full-arch All-on-X reconstruction — the North Lake Avenue address provides a practice with 1,000+ guided placements and a digital treatment planning infrastructure for implant cases of all complexities.

How to Choose a Dentist in Pasadena

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
