Restoring your smile with dental implants should be an exciting time for you. If you have anxiety about the procedure, you are not alone. Yet, choosing the right oral surgeon can help reduce your anxiety and allow you to look forward to an improved smile, improved confidence, and the elimination of dental pain. Wondering what to look for in an oral surgeon for your implant needs?
Experience Matters
Doing your research and looking for the right oral surgeon for your needs is very important. This research will likely help you feel less anxiety, knowing that you are in the right hands. When you are looking for an oral surgeon for your dental implant needs, experience really does matter. Surgeons with a wealth of experience have had the opportunity to create their own process that makes for a smoother patient experience. As a patient looking for the right surgeon for your needs, don’t be afraid to ask potential providers about their implant experience.
Consider Dental Implant Specializations
Where implants are concerned, specialization matters. Do you need just one or two teeth replaced with implants? Are you looking to replace dentures or a bridge? Some oral surgeons will specialize in specific implant needs, so your focus needs to be on finding a surgeon that specializes in exactly what you need. As a new patient, it is perfectly acceptable for you to ask an oral surgeon what their specializations are, so don’t be afraid to ask!
Insurance Matters
If your insurance helps to cover the cost of dental implants, you will want to speak with your insurance or access an online database to see what surgeons are contracted with your insurance. Dental implants are an investment, so if you find an oral surgeon you feel comfortable with who also accepts your insurance, it will a huge benefit to you financially.
Reputation Matters
More and more patients are finding that online reviews help them make decisions about where to spend their money, including dental and medical services. Talk to your friends, family, and coworkers about their experiences, and don’t hesitate to look at the reviews of oral surgeons. Reviews can give you a great at-a-glance view of how other patients feel about the doctor, the practice, and the surgical process.
