How to Choose a Dental Implant Specialist

What is a Dental Implant Specialist?

A Dental Implant Specialist is a dentist who is trained in the proper technique of Dental Implant placement. They are dentists who have advanced training, beyond dental school.

There are many clinics, both in and out of the United States, that promise, “Teeth in a Day.” Sadly, they may not be able to place Dental Implants properly and, in some cases, do more harm that good.

Prosthodontists are dentists who have continued their training, after graduating from dental school, to specialize in the replacement and restoration of teeth and cosmetic problems that affect facial and jaw structure.

Prosthodontists are also expert in:

• temporomandibular joint disorders
• crowns
• bridges
• dentures
• traumatic injuries to teeth and facial structure
• sleep disorders
• oral cancer reconstruction

Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.

How to Choose a Prosthodontist

It’s important to choose a Prosthodontist who has the knowledge, experience and expertise to properly place a Dental Implant, along with the proper tools and materials, to do an excellent job.

Some ways to choose a Prosthodontist are:

• getting a referral from a family dentist
• asking friends and family members about their experiences
• reading online dentist reviews
• interviewing a Prosthodontist to ask about their education, experience and to establish a rapport
• Ask about cost and if the Prosthodontist’s off will work with you and your insurance provider to get you the best price possible for Dental Implants.
