Our Story
Temecula Implants was created with a single focus: giving the Temecula Valley a dedicated home for dental implants and implant repair. It’s a specialized extension of Lakeshore Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the trusted practice led by Dr. Peter Krakowiak since 2008. Over the years, Dr. Krakowiak and his team have helped thousands of patients across Southwest Riverside County restore their smiles — and, increasingly, rescue implant cases that other providers couldn’t. Temecula Implants brings that same surgical expertise to one clear mission: implants done right, and fixed right when they’ve gone wrong.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to deliver patient-centered surgical and clinical excellence — and to make expert implant care approachable. We believe patients deserve honest answers in plain language, a clear plan, and a comfortable experience from consultation through recovery. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth, restoring a full smile, or repairing implants that failed elsewhere, our goal is the same: a result you can trust, built on a foundation of surgical skill and genuine care.

Dr. Peter Krakowiak, DMD, FRCD(C), FACD

With advanced expertise in both oral surgery and anesthesia, Dr. Krakowiak brings a rare combination of surgical precision and patient comfort to every case.
