How you can find the right implant dentist near you

For some people, getting implants might be the most significant medical procedure that they will ever undergo. Treatment is complicated and takes a high level of skill to perform, not to mention the months of healing involved.

Once you have decided to get implants, your next step is to find a dentist with the experience and know-how to perform the procedure, like Dr Nicholas Hii, at High Dental Implants Melbourne. Dr Hii holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Aesthetic Dentistry from Kings College London and a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (Honours) from Queen Mary University of London.

Conducting a thorough investigation into every prospective dentist is fundamental for the best possible outcome: a high-quality and long-lasting tooth implant procedure at High Dental Implants Melbourne.

Who usually performs implant surgeries?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists are qualified, to replace missing teeth with dental implants, as well as general dentists who have undergone specific training.

Choosing a dentist who concentrates on implants over your average dental practitioner is in your best interest, because these people are trained to perform these types of procedures regularly, while a dentist might only perform the surgery occasionally.

What questions should I ask potential implant dentists?

From their credentials and education history to public records and personal information, you can learn a lot about a dentist on their website and online. However, the best way to gauge whether or not a dentist is the right fit for you, is to shop around. Book consultations with the various dental practitioners, get a feel for their practice and ask the following questions.

  • Where did you go to school? Do you keep up to date with innovative methods of dentistry?

  • Will your practice accept my dental insurance?

  • What emergency services are in place should I need urgent medical attention following the procedure?

  • What dental technology and equipment do you use to perform the procedure?

  • Is the procedure explained in full, including aftercare and side effects? Will the dentist explain terms in plain English so it is easy to understand?

  • Does the oral health provider seem happy to answer all your questions or are they guarded and cagey?

If you have shopped around, are overwhelmed by the information you can find online and cannot seem to narrow down your list of prospective dentists, ask friends about their experiences.

Recommendations from those closest to you are critical, because you know that they are likely to be less biased and additionally, these people know you best and what your needs are.

If your local dentist does not have the time, knowledge or training to perform the procedure, ask him for a referral – as a professional in dentistry he or she will know to advise you and get you the treatment you need.
