Background & education

Advanced training in implants and oral facial pain

Dr. Larsen holds a DDS plus a Master of Science in Oral Facial Pain and Oral Medicine from the University of Southern California. He has published clinical research in the Journal of Dentistry and Oral Medicine on NMDA receptor antagonists in the management of dental pain — a background that informs how he approaches both implant cases and the broader question of how to keep treatment comfortable.

He's a key opinion leader and lecturer for SprintRay — the 3D-printing platform Suncoast uses for same-day restorations, surgical guides, and digital dentures — which means surgical guides for complex implant placements can be designed, printed, and ready on the day of surgery. He also lectures for Straumann, the manufacturer behind ClearCorrect aligners and the implant systems used in the practice.

Dr. Larsen co-founded Suncoast Dental in 2024 with Dr. Zeyad Hammad. Suncoast is independently owned and is not affiliated with any corporate dental group. The practice was built specifically to keep advanced procedures — sedation, on-site general anesthesia, remote-anchorage implants, X-Nav navigated surgery — available to patients in Huron County, so people don't have to travel to London or Toronto for care that should be local.

Patients booking with Dr. Larsen typically come in for complex implant consultations, full-arch reconstructions, second opinions after being told they aren't implant candidates, or surgical work under IV sedation or general anesthesia. He's happy to discuss a case by phone before the consultation if that helps.

Three themes come up over and over in Suncoast Dental's reviews: same-day emergency appointments, IV sedation and general anesthesia that finally made years-of-avoided procedures manageable, and how warm the team is with families — especially Drs. Larsen, Hammad, and Will Xie with complex implant cases.
