Richard Casteen, DDS
Dr. Richard Casteen, DDS, is a Bakersfield native who has provided implant dentistry in the area since 1989. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the Misch Implant Institute.
At the Center for Implant Dentistry, Dr. Casteen focuses on complex implant cases that require advanced planning, careful coordination and a strong understanding of both function and appearance. His goal is to help patients rebuild their smiles in a way that supports comfort, chewing ability, long-term stability and confidence.
If your implant needs are straightforward, such as a routine single-tooth replacement, the Capital Dental Group team can help guide you through the appropriate treatment path. If your case is more complex, Dr. Casteen and the Center for Implant Dentistry may be the right fit.
Why Choose Advanced Implant Care?
Complex implant treatment is about more than replacing missing teeth. It may involve evaluating bone loss, bite function, gum health, facial support, denture stability and long-term restorative needs. Advanced implant planning helps reduce guesswork and gives patients a clearer path toward a healthier, more functional smile.
Complex Implant Planning
Some patients need more than a routine implant appointment. If you have been told you have bone loss, have failing dental work, need several teeth replaced or are unsure whether implants are possible, the Center for Implant Dentistry can evaluate your case with CT imaging and advanced treatment planning. For straightforward single-tooth cases, our Capital Dental Group dentists may be the better starting point.
Full-Arch Implant Reconstruction
Full-arch implant treatment can help patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, struggling with loose dentures or facing the loss of several failing teeth. This approach uses dental implants to support a full set of replacement teeth, helping improve chewing, speech, stability and confidence. Each case is carefully planned around your bone support, smile goals and long-term oral health.
CT and 3D Imaging
Advanced imaging helps our team evaluate the jawbone, nerves, sinuses and surrounding structures before treatment begins. Complimentary CT scans during your implant consultation allow us to better understand your needs and explain whether implants, full-arch treatment, implant-supported dentures or another tooth replacement option may be right for you.
Complex Tooth Replacement Options
Rebuilding Function, Comfort and Confidence
Dental implants can be used in different ways depending on your needs. Some patients need one or more teeth replaced, while others need full-arch reconstruction or a more advanced plan for bone loss, failing teeth or denture instability. Our team will help you understand which option fits your smile.

Do you offer free implant consultations?
Yes. Implant consultations at the Center for Implant Dentistry are free and include complimentary CT scans. This helps our team evaluate your bone support, oral health and treatment options before making a recommendation.
What if I have bone loss?
Bone loss does not always mean you cannot receive dental implants. It does mean your case may need more detailed planning. CT imaging helps our team evaluate the amount and location of available bone and explain whether implants, grafting, full-arch treatment or another option may be appropriate.
What are full-arch dental implants?
Full-arch dental implants are designed to replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. Instead of relying on a removable denture alone, dental implants help support a more stable restoration for improved chewing, speech and confidence.
Does implant treatment hurt?
Our team prioritizes patient comfort throughout the implant process. Local anesthesia is used during treatment, and additional comfort options may be discussed when appropriate. After treatment, some soreness is normal, and our team will provide instructions to help you heal as smoothly as possible.
