We understand the importance of having specialized dental professionals to cater to your specific oral health needs. While our general dentists and implant dentists both play vital roles in maintaining your oral health, their responsibilities, training, and expertise vary significantly. Training and Education: • General Dentists: Our general dentists are your primary dental care providers. They diagnose, treat, and manage your overall oral healthcare needs, such as root canals, fillings, gum care, crowns, veneers, bridges, and preventive education. They've undergone extensive schooling that includes undergraduate and dental school, earning them DDS or DMD titles. • Implant Dentists: Our implant dentists, also known as prosthodontists, specialize in replacing missing or damaged teeth with dental implants. They have undergone advanced post-graduate training in implant dentistry and are board-certified in implantology. Scope of Practice: • General Dentists: Our general dentists treat a wide range of dental issues and perform simple implant procedures. However, they typically refer more complex cases to our implant dentists. • Implant Dentists: Our implant dentists focus exclusively on implant dentistry, managing complex cases involving bone grafting, sinus lifts, and advanced surgical techniques. Skillset and Expertise: • General Dentists: Our general dentists have a broad understanding of dental procedures and can assess the need for implants. However, they may refer you to our implant dentists for more intricate procedures. • Implant Dentists: Our implant dentists possess specialized skills in implant surgery, bone grafting, and advanced prosthetic techniques.
