Dr. Ryan M. Lavene, DDS & Dr. Rebecca Lavene, DMD

Dental implants and periodontal care often get lumped together in conversations about oral health, but finding a practice that specializes in both can be trickier than it seems. Periodontists handle the gum disease side of things—gingivitis, bone loss, those deep cleanings that go beyond what a general dentist offers—while implant placement demands surgical precision. The overlap isn’t common, which makes a dedicated implant and periodontal practice stand apart in a town where dental offices tend to generalize.

Over on McCulloch Boulevard, just north of the bridge where the street numbers start climbing, you’ll find Dr. Ryan M. Lavene, DDS & Dr. Rebecca Lavene, DMD in suite C of 2152. The address sits in that stretch of Lake Havasu City where professional buildings mix with the occasional palm-lined parking lot, a quiet contrast to the marina traffic a few miles south. It’s the kind of location you’d drive past without noticing unless you were specifically looking for it—no neon signs, no billboards, just a standard plaza with a focus that’s more clinical than commercial.

Most periodontists will tell you their work is about preservation—saving teeth, saving gums, saving bone structure—but implants flip that script. They’re about replacement, rebuilding what’s already lost. That duality is what defines this practice, where the same team handles both the preventive (scaling, root planing, gum grafts) and the restorative (single implants, full-arch reconstructions). No referrals bouncing between offices; the continuity is built in.
