Meet
Dr. Scott Bueno - Oral Surgeon in Sacramento, CA
Meet Dr. Scott Bueno, one of Nuvia’s oral & maxillofacial surgeons at the Sacramento, CA clinic.
About
Dr. Scott Bueno
Dr. Scott Bueno is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. He completed 11 years of training—including a fellowship—with a focus on facial reconstruction, cosmetic surgery, and jaw surgery.
Dr. Bueno’s path into the field began toward the end of college, when he shadowed a maxillofacial surgeon and was drawn to the range of procedures the field covers. That experience shaped the rest of his training and the work he focuses on today.
Why Nuvia
Dr. Bueno joined Nuvia for the chance to focus on full arch surgery within a well-organized, team-based environment. The role pairs naturally with his broader interest in facial reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, and he values being on a team built around a single, structured procedure.
He sees Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours model as a meaningful step forward for patients. His role is to lay the surgical foundation so the restorative team can deliver a new smile the very next day—an outcome he describes as life-changing for the people who come through the clinic.
Outside of the Office
Outside of work, Dr. Bueno spends time with his wife and kids, stays active outdoors, and sneaks away to the golf course whenever he can.

Dr. Lani Lim
Dr. Lani Lim is the restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. She earned her dental degree from the University of New England in Maine and completed her prosthodontics residency at Texas A&M in Dallas. She has been practicing since 2019, with a focus on smile design and full mouth restorations.
Dr. Lim was drawn to dentistry as a way to bring together two of her lifelong loves: working with her hands and science. Her own childhood dentist encouraged her to consider the field, and after shadowing him and spending a summer as his dental assistant, she was hooked.
Why Nuvia
Dr. Lim joined Nuvia because of its culture and its focus on patient care and teamwork. Friends already on the team described an environment that prioritized people first, and she wanted to be part of an organization built that way.
She’s also appreciates the permanent teeth in 24 hours approach. Patients receive their final prosthesis the day after surgery—a zirconia restoration that helps stabilize the implants during healing. Compared with acrylic temporaries that can stain or break, Dr. Lim sees the Nuvia approach as a more durable, more beautiful option for the people she treats.
Outside of the Office
Outside of work, Dr. Lim is a traveler, a cook, and a musician. Born in Korea and raised across Australia and Pennsylvania, she has visited 36 states and 16 countries, with a goal of reaching all seven continents. She’s been a vegetarian for 16 years and loves cooking dishes like eggplant parmesan, cauliflower wings, and tofu. She has played the cello since age nine and holds a minor in music performance. When she’s not in the kitchen or on stage, she’s usually outside hiking.
