How to Choose Long Islands Best Implant Dentist
1. Ensure the dentist has relevant and current continuing education.
When choosing a Long Island implant dentist for your dental implants, some of the most important things to pay attention to are expert ability, education and experience. This will help ensure the outcome of your dental implants, as well as produce a natural-looking smile and improve your overall confidence. A dentist who constantly pursues continuing education and training will be up-to-date on the latest procedures and technological advancements. Not only will this yield outstanding results, but you can rest assure that your procedures will be completed in a safe manner. Your safety is always a top priority to a great implant dentist on Long Island. Always be wary of dentists who say they have “completed a short course” on dental implants. A short course does not provide the full training needed to execute this type of dental procedure.
2. Choose an Implant Dentist that is “Board-Certified and Diplomate”.
To become “board-certified”, an oral surgeon must go above and beyond the minimal standard of training by way of extra education and must pass a rigorous test to prove it (an example). The basic premise of board certification is a good one, for it evidences that the Long Island implant dentist have committed themselves to undergoing a vast amount of training on top of the normal requirements of dental surgical training. Combining this professional credential with years of experience, board-certified oral surgeons will perform complex procedures more accurately, safely and be able to handle any complications that may occur. Verify that the implant dentist is board-certified, so you do not have to worry if you are choosing a knowledgeable and skilled expert. See Dr. Joshua Gish’s biography.
3. Choose an Implant Dentist Who Specializes in Dental Implants.
An oral surgeon who regularly performs thousands of dental implants, and their complications if they occur will understand your mouth: skin, bone, muscles, nerves and sinuses. A competent oral surgeon will observe and evaluate, usually with a 3D Scan or CAT SCAN, and qualify a patient both physically and emotionally, instilling trust and delivering just what the patient expects — safety and success. It is always best to choose a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is a specialist, that has established a high level of experience and functional success. Their education and commitment to patient care ensures that you, your health, and safety — are top priority. (an example)
4. View Past & Current Dental Work.
A true implant dentist will have a gallery of before and after high quality photos. Utilization of their professional and artistic eye to create realism from simple one tooth replacement to full arch restorations, keeping abreast of all procedures performed that are meritorious to their patient’s individualized treatment plan and smile design. This gallery helps to demonstrate their ability to form both an understanding of the patient’s needs and desires and accomplishing them, whilst adhering to safety and avoiding complications. Request to see previous patients who had similar smile design goals as yours. You want to be able to observe the quality of cosmetic dentistry prior to commitment.
