There isn’t a recognized specialty in implantology, so technically every implant “specialist” is really just a general dentist. \u00a0Some general dentists<\/a> have done more implant training than others.<\/p>\n

For instance,\u00a0Dr. Noah a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and \u00a0a fellow at the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). Less than one-half of one percent of dentists have reached this level.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0It’s OK to ask questions, because you don’t want to end up as one of the horror stories.<\/p>\n
