Our Credentials
For patients considering dental implants, the credentials, expertise and knowledge of the team matter enormously.
Most patients search online for a “dental implant dentist.” That term is misleading. To date, the American Dental Association has not sanctioned a residency specialty program for dental implant dentists leading to specialty recognition.
Various dental specialties, and even general dentists, place dental implants. But because the end goal is prosthetic teeth, it is wise to involve a prosthodontist from the beginning. Alongside his specialty certification in prosthodontics, Dr. Mosquera was trained by pioneers in dental implant treatment protocols in the United States.
Why Patients Choose Us
A smile is much more than the cosmetic appearance of teeth. A healthy mouth and well-functioning teeth matter at every stage of life, supporting breathing, speaking and eating.
Improving appearance and quality of life is the everyday work of Makeover Dental. It is easy to feel self-conscious about your smile, and not everyone has the confidence to smile freely. Our job is to change that.
Our Experience Saves Your Time
Experience and knowledge translate directly into conserving the patient’s time. Less time in the chair means quicker, smoother implant placement with minimal trauma — and minimal trauma means quicker healing.
That efficiency matters most for patients travelling from Champaign and Mahomet, our two secondary service areas alongside Springfield, where every appointment represents a journey. We also treat patients from Decatur, Bloomington, Peoria and across Central Illinois.
Everything in One Location
We are all about giving you the services and care you need at one convenient location, providing exceptional patient care from start to finish. From smile design to dental implants, Teeth in Just One Day, full mouth reconstruction, and the full range of sedation options including IV sedation and general anesthesia, we work to make your experience easy and unlike any other.
Our In-House Dental Laboratory
Most practices send restorations out to an external laboratory and wait. We have our own dental laboratory on site, which changes what we can do for you.
It means your crowns, bridges and prostheses are made here, by technicians working directly with Dr. Mosquera rather than interpreting instructions from a distance. Shade matching, contour and fit are checked against your actual smile, not a photograph.
It also means speed. Adjustments that would take a week of shipping back and forth happen the same day, and cases that normally require multiple visits can often be completed in fewer. For Teeth in Just One Day, the in-house lab is precisely what makes a single-appointment transformation possible.

Making Treatment Affordable
We believe the cost of care should never prevent someone from seeking treatment. Since every patient’s condition and needs are unique, we complete our examination and consultation before presenting a treatment plan and the fees for care. Fees vary depending on your condition, the complexity of the case and the length of treatment.
Our philosophy is to treat you as conservatively as possible while still meeting your treatment goals. Our staff is highly skilled at determining and maximizing your insurance benefits, and we work with CareCredit, Cherry, LendingClub, Sunbit, Proceed Finance and Alphaeon Credit.
