When selecting a dental implant provider, look for qualifications such as board certification, specialized training in implantology, years of experience, and positive patient reviews. It’s also beneficial if the provider is a member of professional organizations like the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) or the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

Prosthodontists specialize in restoring and replacing teeth with prosthetic solutions, including dental implants. They design and fit implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures. On the other hand, oral surgeons perform the surgical aspect of implant placement, including bone grafts and sinus lifts. Many dental implant cases involve collaboration between both specialists.

Prosthodontists offer several advantages for dental implant treatments, including their expertise in prosthetics' aesthetic and functional aspects. They ensure the implants look natural and integrate seamlessly with your existing teeth. Prosthodontists also have extensive training in complex cases, making them ideal for patients with unique dental needs.

Oral surgeons can handle complex cases involving significant bone loss or anatomical challenges. They also have the expertise to manage complications, ensuring a higher success rate for the implant procedure.
