Dr. Ilyabayev graduated from NYU College of Dentistry in 2003, completed the Implant residency program guided by renowned Dr. John Minichetti in 2005 and then the Advanced Implant program in 2006 at the The Dental Implant Learning Center.
Dr. Ilyabayev always had an interest in medicine and initially began his medical career in nursing before studying dentistry. While in school he also worked for a jeweler; repairing and resizing jewelry and setting gemstones. His ability to do finely detailed work with his hands came naturally to him and proved to be a valuable skill set for a dentist.
