Do you have to go to an orthodontist for invisalign?

July 29, 2015 by writeradmin

I was thinking of getting invisalign, but wondered if I’d have to see an orthodontist?

Jennifer,

No, you do not have to see an orthodontist for invisalign.  Many general dentists are qualified to handle your orthodontic needs, including not just invisalign, but braces as well.

Each dentist is a little different with how they handle it.  Some do it themselves. Others, share their practice with an orthodontist who comes in once a week.

I’d start with talking to your family dentist. If he doesn’t place invisalign, he can certainly recommend you to someone who does.

Implant Specialist

July 15, 2015 by writeradmin

Is it better to go to a general dentist or an implant dentist to get dental implants? My dentist is a general dentist. He does dental implants, but I wondered if a specialist would be wiser.

Janna,

There isn’t a recognized specialty in implantology, so technically every implant “specialist” is really just a general dentist.  Some general dentists have done more implant training than others.

For instance, Dr. Noah a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and  a fellow at the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). Less than one-half of one percent of dentists have reached this level.

The key, when you need a procedure that is a little more specialized, is to find out what kind of post-graduate training your dentist has.  It’s OK to ask questions, because you don’t want to end up as one of the horror stories.
