CONFUSED ABOUT ALL THE DENTAL IMPLANT ADVERTISING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Call (713) IMP-LANT

Unfortunately, many "non-surgical" dentists begin to surgically place implants after taking an abbreviated (1-3 day) course on implant surgery. These courses do not prepare the participants to predict, diagnose and treat potential complications for their patient. It's your health and it's important that you ask the right questions of your doctor before proceeding with dental implant surgery.

How long have they been placing implants and how many have they placed in the last year?

What training have they received to handle complications should they arise, or do you have to be referred out to a specialist?

How often do they attend continuing education courses about the specialty of implant surgery?

When you need special care, seek the care of a specialist.

If you are missing teeth, you probably struggle with daily tasks that you formerly took for granted. Chewing is difficult, which compromises a healthy diet, which in turn can affect overall health. Speech suffers, as does self-confidence. This can impact your social, personal, and professional life.

Damage occurs beneath the surface, as well. Without teeth roots in the jaw, bone deteriorates, which causes cosmetic problems that aren’t easily overcome. Overall, missing teeth cause quality of life to decline dramatically. In the past, bridges and dentures were the only option to replace teeth. Modern dental techniques and materials now allow implant dentists to replace missing teeth with reliable, natural looking, long-lasting dental implants.
