Meet The Doctors

About Dr. Ricciardi

Dr. Ricciardi is one of 500+ dentists in the United States, Canada, and internationally, who has been designated as a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID). He is the only dentist in Northern Nevada with this accreditation and one of only three in the state of Nevada.

The ABOI/ID Diplomate designation symbolizes the highest level of competence in implant dentistry. Certification by the ABOI/ID attests to the fact that a dentist has demonstrated knowledge, ability, and proficiency in implant dentistry through a rigorous examination process.

To sit for the examination, Dr. Ricciardi was required to practice implant dentistry for at least seven years and prove his implant expertise.

To earn the title of Diplomate, Dr. Ricciardi presented cases for review by an expert panel of implant dentists and passed a series of written and oral examinations sponsored by the ABOI/ID.

The ABOI/ID’s examination process measures the in-depth knowledge, proficient skills, and abilities required for practitioners to provide comprehensive, safe, and effective oral implant care for the public.

The ABOI/ID was founded in 1969 and conducts examinations to determine the qualifications and competence of dentists who voluntarily apply to the Board for certification.
