Dental implants are a remarkable treatment with a 98% success rate. This being said it’s still important to choose a dentist whom you can trust and who has the experience to provide you high-quality dental care.
7 Questions to Ask A Dental Implant Provider
Each patient has a unique oral health and a good dentist will customize the procedure to both maximize the chance of success and produces gorgeous results.
1. How long have you been placing dental implants?
It’s important to choose a doctor with experience. The more patients an implant provider has seen the more likely that dentist has handled issues similar needs to yours. This often translates to better results for your smile.
2. Were you trained in dental implant placement?
Some dentists take a one or two-day courses to learn the implant procedure, others are certified implant dentists, and still others have devoted themselves to ongoing training. Don’t be afraid to ask about your dentist’s education on dental implantology.
3. Is the entire procedure completed in-office?
Some dentists outsource part of the treatment to a specialist. Sometimes dentists who perform the entire procedure themselves are preferred because they’re someone who you trust and are comfortable working with. Whether this is something that matters to you is a personal question. If you rather have the whole treatment done in the same office you are more than welcome to ask.
4. Do you offer other services?
If you are suffering from infections like periodontitis or need a supplemental procedure, are these services that can be provided by the same dentist? For example, Dr. Carré at Groupe Dentaire API offers not just implants, but also general, orthodontic, and periodontics dental services.
5. What is your dental implant success rate?
The average success rate may be 98 % for dental implants, but these statistics come from clinical studies that are done in controlled environments. Not all providers can claim the same rate of success. It’s important that you ask this question, along with questions on experience, to properly gauge whether the dentist is the right pick for this treatment.
6. Will I be able to ask questions and discuss the treatment plan?
Any dentist should be able to answer your questions and address your concerns. You should be completely comfortable with your treatment plan. At Groupe Dentaire API all of our staff is exceptionally well trained, and Dr. Carré is here to provide you with any information you need to make the best decision.
7. What brand of dental implants do you use?
There are several dental implant manufacturers and not all implants are of the same quality. Oftentimes, implants offered at “low cost” are of comparatively low quality, which can raise the likelihood of implant failure over the years. Ensure that you get the very best by choosing an implant provider who buys from manufacturers that put years of scientific research into their technology.
