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?
