Our Doctors Are the Difference

Dr. Andrew Mueller loves being an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. After completing both dental and then medical school, he did a general surgery residency and an oral/maxillofacial surgery residency (both at Parkland hospital in Dallas, Texas). During his residency, he was trained to put faces back together after facial trauma from car crashes, gun shot wounds, dog bites, etc.; to resect tumors or cancer from the head and neck and reconstruct the area to restore function and appearance. He has performed countless general anesthetics in the operating room, learning how to safely put patients to sleep and wake them back up.

Dr. Mueller loved all of this, but what he didn’t know when he finished his residency was that he would play a major role in one of the most important medical advances in human history: the ability to finally replace your teeth.

Dr. Danielle Larivey heads up cosmetic dentistry for Doctors Implants San Antonio, including serving as our Chief Restorative Doctor. She focuses her practice on what she loves: working alongside patients to design a beautiful, confident smile that is unique for each individual, while also restoring important function.

A native of San Antonio, Dr. Larivey graduated magna cum laude from Texas State University where she received her Bachelors of Science in Biology.

Dr. Patrick Waters is passionate about the full spectrum of oral, implant, and maxillofacial surgery. The care Dr. Waters provides is unique, since he has both dental and medical degrees.

Dr. Waters first received his dental degree at University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston. He then went on to get his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. He completed his 6 years of extensive residency at Parkland & UT Southwestern, considered to be one of the world’s most elite training programs in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery.

Dr. Michael Porter is a highly skilled surgeon who is committed to providing exceptional care to his patients. Inspired by his father’s example, he has dedicated his career to the field of oral surgery and to ensuring his patients’ comfort and satisfaction.

Dr. Porter completed a rigorous residency training program at the Washington Hospital Center, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. He was honored to serve as Chief Resident during his final year and is now proud to be board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Dr. Maria Mora is a restorative doctor at Doctors Implants in San Antonio, known for her passion for transforming lives through oral rehabilitation and high aesthetics. Born and raised in Venezuela, she graduated Cum Laude from Universidad de Los Andes in Mérida, Venezuela, in 2016. Her career began in private practice in her home country before she extended her expertise to Community Health Centers in Boston, Massachusetts.

Driven by a passion for dental education, Dr. Mora became a part-time faculty member at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she mentored aspiring dental professionals. Pursuing one of her personal goals, she completed a three-year prosthodontic specialty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham before settling in San Antonio.

Dr. Adam Forehand is the Cosmetic and Restorative Dentist for Doctors Implants Charleston. He was born and raised in a small town in Alabama, which is where he acquired his “very subtle” southern accent. From the time he was a child, two personality traits shined through, the love for working with his hands and the love for helping people. So naturally dentistry was a perfect career fit!

Dr. Forehand attended Auburn University for college (War Eagle!) and The University of Alabama for dental school. He chose to continue his training by attending residency at The Foundry Dental Center in Alabama.

Dr. Michael Womack is a highly skilled doctor specializing in the fields of Periodontics and Prosthodontics. He earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and further honed his expertise through specialized residencies in Prosthodontics and Periodontics.

Dr. Womack’s pursuit of excellence led him to undertake a residency program in Periodontics, dental implants, and oral medicine. Through this program, he acquired advanced skills in diagnosing, preventing, and treating periodontal diseases. Additionally, he gained expertise in the surgical placement of dental implants, an increasingly popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth.

Dr. Aljadeff graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Chemistry in 2011.
