Let’s Replace Your Missing Teeth!
If you’re missing teeth, struggling with dentures, or facing a failing bridge, you already know one thing: not every dentist is qualified to give you back a confident, functional smile that lasts a lifetime. The difference between “okay” results and life-changing ones often comes down to one critical factor: board certification in dental implant surgery.
At PGA Dentistry in Palm Beach Gardens, Dr. Jay L. Ajmo is one of only 400 dentists who hold the highest level of board certification in this field: Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (DABOI). That single credential alone places him in an elite group far beyond what the vast majority of general dentists or even many “implant dentists” can claim.
But Dr. Ajmo’s credentials go much deeper. Here’s exactly why patients from Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, Singer Island, and across South Florida — and even from other states and countries — trust him with their smiles.

What Board-Certified Dental Implant Surgeon Actually Means
Most people assume that if a dentist advertises dental implants, they must be fully qualified. That’s simply not true. The American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID) is the only board recognized by the American Dental Association for certifying expertise specifically in dental implant surgery and restoration.
To earn Diplomate status, a dentist must:
- Submit 10 complex implant cases for peer review (each case must show long-term success)
- Pass a comprehensive written examination covering every aspect of implantology, bone grafting, anatomy, pharmacology, and emergency medicine
- Undergo a rigorous multi-hour oral examination in front of 18 board-certified implant surgeons at ADA headquarters in Chicago
This isn’t a marketing title; it’s the gold standard that proves he can handle even the most difficult cases predictably and safely.

Teeth Next Day® from Dr. Jay Ajmo
Because Dr. Ajmo is trained and certified in both the surgical and restorative phases of implant treatment (a rare combination), he was able to develop the Teeth Next Day® protocol. Patients leave his dental office with permanently attached, custom-designed teeth the very next day, often under IV sedation, so they remember almost nothing of the procedure.
This isn’t something a general dentist or even many implant-trained dentists can safely offer. It requires the precise skill set Dr. Ajmo has spent decades perfecting.
