Who to Choose for Your Implant? Dentists vs. Oral Surgeons
Oral surgeons are specifically trained to handle the surgical placement of implants into the jawbone, particularly in complex cases that involve bone grafting, sinus lifts, patients with complex medical histories, significant bone loss, or other complications. While general dentists can manage the restoration after the surgical procedure, such as placing crowns and overseeing the final restoration, the surgical expertise of oral surgeons is essential for complex implant procedures that require advanced surgical techniques and specialized training.
