Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. They are made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implants are then used to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Traditionally, implants have been placed by oral surgeons. However, in recent years, more and more general dentists are receiving training in implant placement.
There are several benefits to having a regular dentist place implants. First, it can save you money. Oral surgeons typically charge more for implant placement than general dentists. Second, it can be more convenient. You can have your implants placed in the same office where you get your regular dental care. Third, it can be less stressful. You may feel more comfortable having a procedure done by a dentist you know and trust.
