Who Can Restore Dental Implants?

General Dentist Trained in Implant Restoration: Many general dentists pursue additional training in dental implant restoration. They can capably attach crowns, bridges, or dentures atop implants, providing a seamless finish to the implant process.

Oral Implantologist: Specialists who focus on dental implants, oral implantologists are equipped to handle both the surgical installation of the implant and the subsequent restoration. Their comprehensive understanding of the process can be a significant advantage.

Prosthodontist: Prosthodontists are dental specialists with advanced training in the restoration and replacement of teeth. Their expertise includes the design, fabrication, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth, making them exceptionally skilled in restoring dental implants.

Choosing Your Provider

Patients can opt for a ‘one doctor approach’, where the oral implantologist manages both the surgical and restorative phases, or a ‘two doctor approach’, involving separate specialists for surgery and restoration. The choice depends on personal preference, the complexity of the case, and the comfort level with the dental provider.

Regardless of the chosen provider, the goal remains the same: to restore function and aesthetics in a way that feels natural and lasts a long time.
