What’s an implant dentist?

An implant dentist specializes in dental implants’ placement, restoration, and maintenance. Implant dentists have advanced training and education in implantology and use specialized implant techniques and equipment. They work closely with other dental specialists, such as periodontists and oral surgeons, to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.

What should I look for when choosing a new dentist?

You should first evaluate their qualifications and education when looking for a new dentist. Your dentist should have extensive training and stay current with the latest, safest dental practices.

Always choose a dentist that specializes in the service you need. It’s crucial to look for a dentist with a strong focus on dental implants and the proper training and experience.

Finding a dentist who can help you feel comfortable during your appointment is also important. Additionally, it’s crucial to find a dentist who will do everything they can to help you stay stress-free when you’re at their office.

What are the benefits of choosing an implant dentist for my tooth replacement needs?

Choosing an implant dentist for your tooth replacement needs has several benefits due to the following:

  1. Implant dentists have the advanced training and education in implantology necessary to provide the best possible outcome for your implant treatment.
  2. They use specialized techniques and equipment to place, restore, and maintain dental implants, resulting in a more comfortable and successful treatment experience.
  3. Implant dentists typically have a higher success rate for implant procedures compared to general dentists who also place implants.
  4. Implant dentists provide surgical and restorative implant treatment, meaning you can receive all aspects of your treatment at one convenient location.
  5. Professional implant providers stay up-to-date with the latest technology and techniques in implantology.
What are your tips for better oral hygiene at home?

Generally, a good at-home oral hygiene routine consists of brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing once a day, and rinsing with suitable mouthwash. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush because hard bristles can cause damage to your teeth and gums.

If you’d like personal recommendations on the kinds of products that would be best, your dentist can help you. At your next appointment, simply ask for tips for your at-home oral hygiene routine. They will recommend the best practices for your dental needs.
