about Steven
Implant Dentistry.
Practiced and Taught.
Dr. Steven Vorholt here. I don’t just talk about implant dentistry, I live it every day. As a full-scope implant surgeon, Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology, national speaker, and podcast host, I’ve built my career around elevating the standards of surgical care and training.
I work with dentists across the country to simplify complex cases, strengthen their workflows, and deliver the kind of outcomes patients deserve. Whether I’m in the operatory, at a conference, or behind the mic, I bring real surgical experience and a clear, authentic perspective to doctors and patients alike.

"Dr. Vorholt was most thorough in his examination and explanation of the procedure that needed to be performed. He and his very professional staff inspired the confidence I required to feel comfortable with the operation."
Joseph S. Santa Barbara, CA
"After years of needing major dental work and scared of dentists and pain, I read Dr. Vorholt’s reviews and decided to contact them. Wish I had done so sooner, it was professional and virtually painless. I have fully functioning teeth that look awesome. I would recommend Dr. Vorholt, he’s all you need—painless and affordable, good quality. No need to look anywhere else."
Mike, Santa Barbara, CA
