Lake Nona has a lot of dentists and one prosthodontist. The distinction matters when you are replacing teeth rather than maintaining them: prosthodontics is three years of training beyond dental school in exactly that, and it is the specialty general dentists refer implant cases to.
Over 15,000 implants placed across thirty years, from single teeth to full arches. Every placement is planned on a 3D scan beforehand, so the fixture position is decided against where the final crown needs to sit. Where bone and infection allow, a failing tooth comes out and the implant goes in at the same visit.
Being ten minutes away also means follow-ups and adjustments are a short errand rather than an afternoon.
Crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures are made in our own laboratory on Narcoossee Road rather than sent to an outside lab. For Lake Nona patients that is the practical difference most people notice: shade matched against your actual teeth in natural light, and adjustments made the same afternoon instead of two weeks later.
On larger cases we look at how the bite closes before rebuilding anything. Worn and cracked teeth are usually a symptom of uneven loading, and replacing the damage without correcting the cause produces the same failure a few years later.
Saving a natural tooth beats replacing one wherever that is still realistic.
Extractions and implant placement happen here rather than being referred across town to a separate surgeon. One practice plans the whole sequence, which matters because how the socket is preserved at removal determines what is available to build on.
Where it is clinically sound, extraction and placement happen in one appointment, preserving bone that would otherwise resorb and taking months off the timeline. Where it is not, we graft first and say so. Forcing immediate placement into an unsuitable site is the most common reason implants fail.
Oral sedation and nitrous oxide are available, and home is a few minutes away afterward.
A Trusted Lake Nona Dentist For Advanced, Specialized Care
We are not a practice that serves Lake Nona from somewhere else. We are in Medical City, among the hospitals and research institutes, and most of our patients are neighbors. That shapes how we work: you will see the same clinician each visit, and reputation here travels by conversation rather than advertising.
It also means we take the long view. Treatment is planned for how it will hold up in fifteen years, not how it photographs next month, because we expect to still be looking after it.
Patients from Lake Nona and surrounding communities choose us because they want more than general dentistry. They want focused, specialty-level care designed for lasting results. Our commitment is simple: provide treatment that is thoughtful, clinically sound, and built to improve not just your smile, but your long-term quality of life.

Why Choose Makris Dental Prosthodontics In Lake Nona
Four things that make this different from the general practice down the road.
A Specialist, Not A General Dentist
Prosthodontics is a recognized dental specialty requiring three years of post-doctoral training focused on restoring and replacing teeth. Dr. Cokovska is board-certified in it, with two master's degrees and post-doctoral training at Boston University.
Our Own Laboratory On Site
Restorations are made in the building rather than mailed to an outside lab. Fewer appointments, faster turnaround, and a technician who can look at your teeth rather than a photograph of them.
Planned Before You Arrive
3D imaging and guided placement mean the surgical plan is settled before the appointment. Visits run closer to schedule and there is less improvising in the chair.
Costs In Writing, No Pressure
The first visit produces a written plan with staged costs that you take away. Nothing is booked until you decide. Sedation options are available once treatment begins.

A prosthodontist completes three years of post-doctoral training after dental school, focused entirely on restoring and replacing teeth. It is the specialty for implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and full-mouth reconstruction, and it is who general dentists refer those cases to. Dr. Cokovska is board-certified in it.
Yes. Our Lake Nona practice provides single tooth implants, All-on-X full arch implants, and Same Day Smile treatment for full arch restoration in as little as 24 hours. Using 3D guided implant technology, Dr. Cokovska can often extract a failing tooth and place the implant in the same visit.
All-on-X (also called All-on-4) is a full arch dental implant treatment where four to six implants support a complete fixed set of teeth. It is a permanent, stable alternative to traditional dentures, and Makris Dental Prosthodontics offers it with same-day teeth in select cases at our Lake Nona office.
Yes. Full-mouth reconstruction rebuilds the function and appearance of your entire smile using a combination of implants, crowns, bridges, and other restorative solutions. Led by a board-certified prosthodontist, our team plans each case carefully to restore comfort, bite balance, and long-term oral health.
Oral sedation and nitrous oxide are both available. If dental anxiety has kept you away for years, mention it when you call; it is a common reason people come to us and we plan the visit around it. Being local also means the trip home afterward is short.
It depends on how many implants and which restoration, so any figure quoted before an examination is guesswork. After the consultation you receive a written total broken down by stage, along with the financing options, and nothing is scheduled until you have had time to consider it. Call (407) 753-4743.
