Yes, an oral surgeon typically performs dental implant surgery. Although some dentists perform implant surgery, the Journal of the American Dental Association indicates that dental implant surgery is more likely to succeed if performed by an oral surgeon. Oral surgeons regularly perform dental implant surgery and have greater training in the latest techniques for minimally invasive placement. They also utilize the latest technologies for precision placement, including YOMI robotic surgery. They are adept at managing potential complications that a general dentist may not be comfortable handling.
